GUIDEBOOKS ARE CHANGING

You may have already noticed that the guidebook is slimmer than usual. That’s
because we’ve split it into two tightly focused books: an application guidebook (the one
you’re reading now) and a field regulations guidebook (printing in late May 2011).
This guidebook focuses on the big game application. It has the information, links
and resources you will need in order to apply for a big game permit between Feb. 1 and
March 3, 2011.
This application guidebook does not contain species descriptions or field regula-
tions. Those items will appear in Utah’s 2011 Big Game Field Regulations Guide-
book, which will include the rules for both big game and antlerless hunting. The field
regulations guidebook will be available from license agents and Division offices by the
end of May. It will also be available online at wildlife.utah.gov.
In addition to these two guidebooks, an antlerless application guidebook will be
available before the end of May. For more information on the antlerless application
guidebook, see the box on page 9.

Don’t lose your hunting and fishing privileges

If you commit a wildlife violation, you could lose the privilege of hunting and
fishing in Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources can
suspend the license of anyone who knowingly, intention-
ally or recklessly violates wildlife laws. Your license can
be suspended for a wildlife violation if:
• You are convicted.
• You plead guilty or
no contest.
• You enter a plea in abeyance.
You will be notified of any action against your
privilege after criminal proceedings conclude.
wildlife.utah.gov
And remember, if your license is suspended in

Utah, you may not be permitted to hunt or
fish in most other states. (Visit ianrc.org to

TYPES OF BIG GAME PERMITS
Utah Admin. Rule R657-62-19

Before you apply for a Utah big game permit, it’s important to know what your op-
tions are. Although residents and nonresidents can apply for many of the same types of
permits, there are some differences. This section explains what you can apply for, based
on your residency. See pages 26–50 for a detailed look at all of Utah’s big game hunts.

APPLYING FOR A BIG GAME PERMIT

Utah Admin. Rule R657-62-17
To participate in any of Utah’s big game hunts, you need a hunting permit. Your first,
and possibly only, chance to obtain one of these permits is through the state’s big game
drawing. Before you can apply, you must also have a valid Utah hunting or combination
license. If you don’t have one of these licenses, you can buy one online when you apply.
