Over-the-counter (OTC) tag sales will begin July 10 at 8 a.m. MT for 2025 general season any bull elk permits. Permits can be purchased through any Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) office, at all license agent locations or online.

Utah's Any bull tag numbers and costs

For 2025, the department has made 15,000 permits available for the early season any legal weapon and muzzleloader hunt, while the late season hunt will have no permit caps. The 15,000 early rifle and muzzleloader permits are available to both residents and nonresidents. Hunters must first possess a valid hunting license before purchasing their general elk permit; however, this can be purchased with your permit at the time of sale.

Nonresident price increases

Recently, Utah lawmakers voted to increase the costs of nonresident licenses in the state. The increases are set to take place after the OTC tag sale dates, so getting a tag at the lesser price is still possible for this season. However, next year the prices will increase significantly.
