Group applications

If you are doing a group application, you must add all hunters to the session first, then follow the instructions on the page following species selection to ensure accuracy. Important: A group application cannot add members after it is submitted.

Youth information

A youth hunter wanting to participate in the youth only draw for antlerless elk, deer, and doe antelope must apply as an individual or in a youth only group. Youth who apply in a group with an adult will not be eligible for the youth only round.

Flexibility in using antlerless elk permits

If you obtain two antlerless elk permits for the same area — but the permits are for different seasons — you may harvest both elk during the same season. And don't forget that you can use your antlerless permit during your buck or bull season, as long as it's for the same area.

Opportunity for youth

A full 20% of the permits for antlerless deer, antlerless elk and doe pronghorn are reserved for hunters who will be 17 or under by July 31, 2020.

Obtain up to three elk permits

You may obtain up to three elk permits per year, as long as at least two of the permits are for antlerless elk, but you can only apply for or obtain one antlerless elk permit in the drawing.

Antlerless elk-control permits

In 2020, Utah has antlerless elk-control permits on eight hunting units. Learn more here.

Change to permit surrender processes

The surrender process has changed and could result in the loss of previously accrued bonus or preference points. For details, see the Surrendered permits and refunds page.

Fee increases for nonresident hunters

As we covered earlier this year, starting July 1, 2020, all license, permit and application fees for nonresident hunters will increase in Utah. For details, see the table below or visit the License, permit and miscellaneous fees page after July 1. (Important: This change will not affect people who obtain antlerless permits through the hunt drawing. However, it will be in effect if you purchase one of the remaining antlerless permits, starting July 22, 2020.)

Hunting license required

Before you can apply for a 2020 antlerless permit, bonus point or preference point, you must have a valid Utah hunting or combination license. You can purchase a license today or when you apply for an antlerless permit.

Forfeit preference points for the purchase of remaining antlerless permits

If you obtain a general-season antlerless permit over the counter (after the antlerless drawing) or a private-lands-only permit, you will lose any preference points you've previously accrued for that specific antlerless hunt. If you purchase an antlerless elk control permit, you will not lose your preference points.
