Most Prized Hunting Permit Application Period Opens Tuesday

Considered among Utah’s most prized hunting permits, the window to apply for Sportsmen permits opens up on Tuesday. “If you draw a sportsman permit, you can hunt on almost every unit in Utah that’s open to hunting the species you drew a permit for,” shares DWR Administrative Services Assistant Chief Lindy Varney. “Also, the season dates are much longer, so you’ll have more time to scout different places to harvest an animal. It’s truly the hunt of a lifetime.” Utahns can begin submitting applications for the 2027 sportsman permits on Tuesday, October 20th. Utah residents can apply for permits online, by calling or visiting the nearest Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Office or by calling 855-UTDRAWS (855-883-7297). The deadline to apply is Tuesday, November 10th at 11pm. Application results will be announced on November 19th.
