Applicants for Utah's big-game hunting permits should know by April 30 if they were successful or not. If you don't receive an e-mail or letter by April 30, log on to wildlife.utah.gov to check results or call (800) 221-0659.
If you were not one of the lucky applicants, you can still buy a general bull elk permit, along with any general buck permits not taken in the draw on June 12.
"Some general season buck deer permits for the Northern Region and statewide general archery buck deer permits are usually still available after the draw," said Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "Any permits that aren't taken in the draw will be available beginning June 12."
Tutorow says you probably don't need to buy a permit the first day they go on sale. But she also encourages you not to wait too long. Last year, all of Utah's general archery buck deer permits were gone by July 23.
"Utah big game permits are selling out faster and faster every year," she says. "If you wait too long, they might sell out before you get one."
A total of 12,300 any bull elk unit permits, and 11,000 spike bull elk unit permits, will be available. The DWR does not have a limit on the number of general archery elk permits it can sell.
For more information, call the Utah Wildlife Services Administrative office at (800) 221-0659, the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.
