New Rules for Obtaining Big Game Hunting Permits

Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources will begin accepting applications for big game hunting permits on Jan 2, 2008. Some 230,000 people may apply. Hunters are encouraged to apply early to have the best chance of obtaining the permits they want.

Keep in mind these important changes:
You must have a hunting or combination license before you can apply for a permit.
Applications will be accepted only through the Division of Wildlife Resources' Web site.

You can apply for a 2008 permit at wildlife.utah.gov starting Jan. 2. Your application must be received through the Web site no later than 11 p.m. on Jan. 31 to be entered in the draw for permits.

If you're not comfortable applying on the Internet, you can also apply over-the-phone. To apply over-the-phone, you must call (801) 538-4700 no later than 5 p.m. on Jan. 31.
