The deadline is approaching to apply for Utah’s most prized big game hunting permits for the 2018 season. DWR wildlife license coordinator Lindy Varney explains that only Utah residents can apply for sportsman permits which is why they are so highly sought. “With only a few exceptions,” shares Varney, “if you draw a sportsman permit, you can hunt on every unit in Utah that’s open to hunting the species you drew a permit for.” Applications must be submitted by
November 15th.
One sportsman permit is offered for the desert bighorn ram, Rocky Mountain bighorn ram, buck deer, buck pronghorn, bull elk, bull moose, hunter’s choice bison, and hunter’s choice mountain goat. It doesn’t take long to find out the results of the application as results are posted by
November 22nd.
Applications must be submitted on
www.wildlife.utah.gov
no later than
11pm on November 15th.
