This guidebookalong with the 2013 Utah Big Game Field Regulations guidebook (printing in May 2013)summarizes the rules and laws that regulate big game hunting in Utah. Although these books are convenient quick-reference documents for Utah big game regulations, they are not all-encompassing resources. For an in-depth look at the states big game hunting laws and rules, visit wildlife.utah.gov/rules. You can use the references in this guidebooksuch as Utah Admin. Rule R657-5-24 and Utah Code 23-20-25to search the Divisions website for the detailed statute or rule that underpins the guidebook summary. If you have questions about a particular rule, call or visit the nearest Division office.
The Utah Wildlife Board passes the rules and laws summarized in this guidebook. There are seven board members, and each serves a six-year term. Appointed by the governor, board members are not Division employees. The Divisions director serves as the boards executive secretary but does not have a vote on wildlife policies. Before board members make changes to wildlife rules, they listen to recommendations from Division biologists. They also receive input from the public and various interest groups via the regional advisory council (RAC) process. If you have feedback or suggestions for board members, you can find their contact information online at wildlife.utah.gov.

For details, see the article on page 22. Apply online for depredation hunts: Occasionally, the Division issues depredation permits. These permits allow hunters to remove nuisance animals that affect homeowners and livestock. To apply for a depredation permit, visit wildlife.utah.gov/depredation.
Hunting license required: Before you can apply for a 2013 big game permit, bonus point or preference point, you must have a valid Utah hunting or combination license. Please see page 12 for more information. Mandatory reporting: Many big game hunters must report hunt information within 30 calendar days after the end of the hunting season (even if they did not harvest an animal). To see if you are required to reportand to learn how to reportsee the information box on page 6 or visit wildlife.utah.gov/harvestreporting. Collecting shed antlers: If you want to collect shed antlers and horns from Feb. 1 to April 15, you must complete an online course. You will receive a course-completion certificate that you must carry on your person while collecting the antlers and horns. For more information, see page 8.

Looking for a map and a boundary description for your hunting area? Youll find detailed maps and boundary descriptions at wildlife.utah.gov/maps. Permits issued through the big game drawing also include written boundary descriptions. In 2013, the Division will again print and distribute a large detailed map of the 30 general-season deer units. The map will be available at Division offices. If you draw a general-season deer permit, a map will accompany your permit in the mail. Division funding: The Division is mostly funded by the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and through federal aid made possible by an excise tax on the sale of firearms and other hunting- and fishing-related equipment.

Please remember If you obtain an antlerless deer or elk permit, you can also obtain a buck deer or a bull elk permit. You may have only one pronghorn and one moose permit each year.
Mandatory reporting
If you obtain a premium limited-entry, limited-entry, management buck deer, CWMU, conservation, sportsman, convention or once-in-a-lifetime permit, you must complete a harvest survey questionnaire within 30 days after your hunt ends. This information is required even if you didnt harvest an animal. If you received a tooth packetand you harvested an animalthis is an ideal time to return your tooth packet. Returning your tooth packet does not fulfill the harvest survey requirement. You can report harvest information about your hunt online by visiting
wildlife.utah.gov/harvestreporting or by calling 1-800-221-0659. Reporting your hunt information is important. If you dont report your hunt information within 30 days of the end of the hunt, you wont be allowed to apply for once-in-alifetime, premium limited-entry, limited-entry, management buck deer or CWMU permits, or for bonus points. If you didnt submit your 2012 harvest survey questionnaire by the deadline, you can restore your eligibility to apply for a 2013 permit by paying a $50 late fee. For more information, call 1-800-221-0659.

The Wildlife Board has established the following timeframes for hunting on Cooperative Wildlife Management Units (CWMUs). Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes, although the CWMU operator may allow you to hunt additional days. Before you apply for a CWMU permit, contact the operator to obtain general information about hunt dates, permitted weapons and other rules. If you draw a permit, you must contact the CWMU operator to confirm your season dates. For more information on the CWMU program, see the article on page 23.
Depredation hunts
When deer, elk, bison or pronghorn cause damage to agricultural crops, the Division may hold hunts that are not listed in this guide. These hunts are called depredation hunts. They may occur on short notice, involve small areas and are often limited to only a few hunters. To apply for the depredation hunter pool, complete and submit an online application at wildlife.utah.gov/depredation.

Remember, you cannot hunt until you are 12 years old. If youre 11 to 13 years old, you are eligible to: Apply for general-season deer or youth any bull elk permits in the drawing. Buy general-season deer, general-season elk and youth any bull elk permits over the counter, if any are available. Buy a Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) permit directly from a CWMU operator. If youre 13 years oldand youll be 14 by Dec. 31, 2013you can also apply for limited-
entry, once-in-a-lifetime or CWMU permits in the public drawing. All hunters under the age of 16 must be accompanied in the field by a parent, legal guardian or responsible person 21 years of age or older. For more information on this requirement, see the information box below.
If you were born after Dec. 31, 1965, you must provide proof that youve passed a hunter education course approved by the Division before you can apply for or obtain a hunting license or a big game permit.
While hunting big game, a person under 16 years old must be accompanied by his or her parent, legal guardian or other responsible person who is 21 years of age or older and who has been approved by the parent or guardian. The Division encourages adults to be familiar with hunter education guidelines or to complete the hunter education course before accompanying youth into the field. While in the field, the youth and the adult must remain close enough for the adult to see and provide verbal assistance to the young hunter. Using electronic devices, such as walkie-talkies or cell phones, does not meet this requirement.
Proof of hunter education You can prove that youve completed hunter education by obtaining a hunter education course Certificate of Completion (this certificate is called a blue card in Utah) or by using a hunting license from a previous year with your hunter education number noted on the license. How to take hunter education If you were born after 1965, you must take and successfully complete the states hunter education course. Its an easy process: 1. Obtain a hunter education registration certificate. Each certificate costs only $10, and you can obtain it online, at any Division office or from a license agent. 2. Register for a class with your local hunter education instructor. You can see a list of hunter education courses at wildlife.utah.gov/huntereducation. You can also contact your local Division office or call 801-538-4727. 3. Take your registration certificate to your instructor on the first night of class.

4. Successfully complete the courseyour instructor will then validate your certificate. The validated certificate serves as your hunting license. Both the registration certificate and the corresponding hunting license are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. Note: Your hunting license is not valid until you complete the hunter education course. With a valid hunting license, you can also apply for or obtain permits in the Divisions hunt drawings. In order to maximize your hunting opportunities, you should register for and complete the hunter education course as soon as possible after purchasing your registration certificate. After completing the course, you will receive your official hunter education card (commonly known as the blue card) by mail. It will be sent to the address listed on your registration certificate. This card certifies that you passed hunter education. You should also keep the following in mind: Hunters under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult while hunting. Regardless of when a student graduates, all hunting regulations (such as season dates and bag limits) will apply. Students who are planning to hunt out of state should allow enough time for their hunter education card to arrive in the mail.
You must have a current Utah hunting or combination (hunting and fishing) license before you can apply for any big game permits, bonus points or preference points. Licenses are available at wildlife.utah.gov and from license agents and Division offices. Be sure to take a quick look at the date on your license before you apply for any permits or points. As long as your license is valid on the date you submit your application, you dont have to purchase a new license for the actual hunt. For example, assume that your license expires on June 25, 2013. If you apply before that date, you do not have to purchase a new license for your hunt in the fall. All hunting and combination licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase.
wildlife.utah.gov
New to Utah? If you become a Utah resident, and youve completed a hunter education course in another state, province or country, you must obtain a blue card before you can buy a resident hunting license. You can obtain a Utah blue card at any Division office by providing proof that youve completed a hunter education course approved by the Division. The card costs $10.

Utah Admin. Rule R657-62-8
Utahs bonus point system has been put in place to increase your chance of drawing a big game permit. Every time you apply for a limited-entry, premium limited-entry, management buck deer, CWMU or once-in-a-lifetime permit, but you dont draw one, you receive a bonus point for that species. Applying for a general buck deer permit will not affect your ability to obtain a bonus point for limited-entry deer. If you draw a general buck deer permit, youll still receive a bonus point if you are unsuccessful in drawing a limited-entry, premium limited-entry or CWMU deer permit.
Residents If youre a resident, you may apply for one of the following: One limited-entry permit and one once-ina-lifetime permit One limited-entry permit and one once-ina-lifetime bonus point One limited-entry bonus point and one once-in-a-lifetime permit One limited-entry bonus point and one once-in-a-lifetime bonus point You may NOT apply for the following: A permit and a bonus point for the same species More than one limited-entry bonus point or more than one premium limited-entry bonus point More than one once-in-a-lifetime bonus point Nonresidents If youre a nonresident, you may apply for permits or bonus points for all limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime species. However, you may not apply for a permit and a bonus point for the same species. Please remember that you may draw only one limited-entry or once-in-a-lifetime permit each year.
wildlife.utah.gov
Even if youre not going to hunt in 2013, you can still receive a bonus point by applying for one. To apply for a bonus point, select the appropriate bonus point code on your application and pay the $10 application fee. The 2013 bonus point application period is Feb. 1March 18, 2013. Because you apply for bonus points by species instead of by hunt, you may apply for a limitedentry, premium limited-entry, management buck deer or once-in-a-lifetime bonus point, even if the specific hunt the bonus point is being awarded for isnt being offered in 2013.

Preference points
Utah Admin. Rule R657-62-10
Utahs preference point system gives hunters who dont draw a general-season buck deer permit a better chance at drawing one the following year. Each time you apply for one of these permits and dont draw one, youll receive a preference point. Please keep in mind that preference points are given for a speciesdeer, in this caseand not for a particular hunting unit.
Even if you wont be hunting general-season buck deer in 2013, you can still apply for a preference point by selecting code GDR on your application and paying a $10 application fee. The application period is Feb. 1March 18, 2013.
If you hunt general-season buck deer, its worth your time to mark more than just your first hunt choice when applying for a permit. If you arent successful in drawing your first choicebut you draw your second, third, fourth or fifth choiceyou will still receive a preference point. For example, if you choose the Monroe unit as your first choice and the Cache unit as your second choice, and then you draw a permit for the Cache unit (your second choice), you will receive a preference point. If you draw your first choice, you will not receive a preference point.
Lifetime licenses were last sold in Utah in 1994. If you are one of the lucky hunters who has a lifetime license, the Division wants you to obtain your deer permit as quickly and smoothly as possible: To select the unit you want to hunt, youll need to complete the online lifetime license questionnaire. The questionnaire is located in the 2013 big game application. Visit wildlife.utah.gov between Feb. 1 and March 4, 2013 to access the application, complete the questionnaire and select a unit. If you do not complete the lifetime license questionnaire by March 4, 2013, you will automatically receive a permit for the unit you selected in 2012. If you did not select a unit in 2012, and you do not complete your lifetime license questionnaire in 2013, you may obtain a remaining permit at a Division office, starting July 11. If your address changes, please notify the Division immediately. If you are already enrolled in the Dedicated Hunter program, you are not required to complete your lifetime license questionnaire. If you are planning to apply for the Dedicated Hunter program in 2013, you must complete your lifetime license questionnaire. For more information about lifetime licenses, visit wildlife.utah.gov/lifetime.

If you want to hunt on private property, you must obtain written permission from the landowner before you can hunt. Ideally, you should have permission before you even apply for a permit. If you obtain written permission in advance, you know youll be able to use the permit if you draw it. The Division cannot guarantee access to private land, and the agency does not have the names of landowners who own property where hunts occur.
How permit surrender affects preference points If you obtain a general-season buck deer permit, and then you find that you wont be able to use it, you can get your preference points back if you surrender the permit before the season begins. Youll also receive a preference point for that year and be eligible to purchase reallocated permits or permits that are still available after the drawing. How permit surrender affects waiting periods If you surrender your permit before the season begins, the waiting period will be waived. General-season permits are not subject to waiting periods.
Surrendering a permit
Utah Code 23-19-38 and Utah Admin. Rule R657-42
What happens if you obtain a permit and then realize you wont be able to use it? As long as your season hasnt started, you should consider surrendering the permit. Its an easy process, and its important if you want to keep your bonus points or preference points and avoid a waiting period. Depending on the type of permit you have, there are different rules for surrendering it. For more information on surrendering a permit, please see wildlife.utah.gov/refund.
Groups
How permit surrender affects bonus points If you obtain a permit through a group applicationand then you decide to surrender it you will not have your bonus points reinstated or earn a new point unless your entire group meets the following conditions: All group members must surrender their permits Permit surrenders must occur more than 30 days before the start of the season Members of the group may not surrender their permits individually unless the surrender occurs because of: Activation in the military An injury that will prevent the individual from hunting Death For more information on surrendering a permit, please see wildlife.utah.gov/refund.

Individuals
How permit surrender affects bonus points If you draw a limited-entry, premium limitedentry or once-in-a-lifetime permitand then you decide to surrender itits a good idea to return it to the Division before the season opens. If you surrender it before the start of the season, youll get all of your bonus points back, and youll receive a bonus point for that year. Youll also be eligible to purchase a reallocated permit or any other available permit youre eligible to obtain.

ityou will not have your preference points reinstated or earn a new point unless all group members surrender their permits before the season begins. Members of the group may not surrender their permits individually unless the surrender occurs because of: Activation in the military An injury that will prevent the individual from hunting Death
Obtaining a refund
The Division rarely issues refunds for permits, licenses or certificates of registration, but there are some exceptions. To see if youre eligible for a refund, visit wildlife.utah.gov/refund.
Permit exchanges
How permit surrender affects waiting periods If members of a group surrender their permits before the season begins, the waiting period will be waived. General-season permits are not subject to waiting periods.
Dedicated hunters
If youre enrolled in the Dedicated Hunter program, and you decide to surrender your permit, you must return it to the Division before Aug. 17, 2013 (the day the general-season archery deer hunt opens).
The switch to 30 general-season deer units has affected the Divisions approach to permit exchanges. You may exchange your permit for one thats available in another unit, but it must be for the same species and sex. For example, you cannot exchange a buck deer permit for a bull elk permit. The exchange must occur before the season opening date on the permit you originally obtained. You must also pay a $10 handling fee to exchange a permit.
Duplicate licenses
If you obtain a limited-entry landowner permit or a CWMU permit, you can surrender it. Limited-entry private landowner permits must be surrendered before the season the permit was issued for opens. To surrender a CWMU permit, there are two options. If possible, you should surrender your CWMU permit before the CWMU season opening dates listed on page 7. To surrender your permit after the CWMU season has started, you and the person who issued the permit to you (the CWMU operator or the landowner-association operator) must sign an affidavit stating that you did not hunt with the permit. Both of the signatures must be notarized. After the signatures are notarized, submit the affidavit and the unused permit to the Division.
If your unexpired license or permit is destroyed, lost or stolen, you can obtain a duplicate from a Division office or a license agent for $10 or half of the price of the original license or permit, whichever is less. The Division may require that you sign an affidavit testifying that the license or permit was lost, stolen or destroyed. To obtain a duplicate limited-entry or once-ina-lifetime permit, you must visit a Division office. If you drew a license or permit, but you never received it, the Division may waive the fee that you would normally have to pay to get a duplicate.

In 2013, there will be at least one big change to youth hunting opportunities.
If youre a youth who enjoys bowhunting, you will likely be able to hunt during the 2013 archery buck deer season. The Utah Wildlife Board has approved more archery permits for youth who will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 17, 2013 (the opening day of the general-season archery deer hunt). An additional 20 percent of each units total number of archery permits will be available to youth as general-season archery deer permits. For example, if the Wildlife Board approves 500 general-season archery permits for a particular unit, another 100 archery permits will be available to youth for over-the-counter purchase. This new opportunity is in addition to the 20 percent of all buck deer permits that are already allocated to youth in the drawing. Starting at 8 a.m. on July 11, these permits will be available at wildlife.utah.gov and from license agents and Division offices.
Muzzleloader permits If you obtain a general-season muzzleloader deer permit, you may hunt only during the general muzzleloader season. You must use muzzleloader equipment and hunt the unit listed on your permit. You may not hunt during the general archery or any legal weapon seasons. Archery permits If you obtain a general-season archery deer permit, you may hunt only during the general archery deer season and the extended archery deer season. During the general season, you may hunt in the unit printed on your permit. During the extended season, you may hunt in the extended archery areas after completing the archery ethics course available at wildlife.utah.gov/extendedarchery. For more information on the extended archery hunt, see the box on page 17. You may not hunt during the general muzzleloader or general any legal weapon seasons.
If you will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 17, you might have some extra hunting waiting for you this fall. It all depends on what type of general-season deer permit you obtain.
wildlife.utah.gov
Any legal weapon permits If you obtain a general-season any legal weapon deer permit, you may use archery tackle to archery hunt the unit listed on your permit from Aug. 17Sept. 13, 2013. If you havent harvested a deer by the time the archery season ends, you may hunt the same unit during the general muzzleloader and general any legal weapon deer seasons, using the appropriate equipment.
Youth-only groups
If you will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 17, 2013, you can participate in the youth drawing for general-season deer permits. You can submit an application as an individual hunter or as a member of a youth-only group.
No adults allowed Up to four young hunters can apply to hunt together in a youth-only group. This change
22
allows youth to hunt buck deer in the same unit with siblings, friends and cousins. When you apply in a youth-only group for the general-season deer hunt, all hunters must meet the age requirement or the application will not be processed with the other youth applications. For more information about the hunt drawing, please visit wildlife.utah.gov/huntingpermits.
Youth elk permits Up to two youths may apply together for youth any bull elk permits, but both individuals must be 18 years of age or younger on Sept. 14, 2013. For information about season dates, see page 7.
Utahs Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) program provides landowners with an economic incentive to keep their private range and forest lands as productive wildlife habitat. The landowners receive vouchers for hunting permits, which they can sell for profit, as long as they also allow a percentage of public hunters on their lands. CWMUs comprise more than two million acres of land in Utah. They will provide more than 3,000 hunting permits for bucks and bulls in 2013. About 14 percent of those permits are available to the general public through the states big game drawing.
If youre a Utah resident, there are two ways to obtain a CWMU permit: you can apply for one in the states big game drawing, or you can obtain a permit voucher from the landowner or operator of the CWMU you want to hunt. If youre not a resident of Utah, you cannot apply for a CWMU permit in the public drawing. You
If you obtain a CWMU permit, you must report information about your hunt within 30 days after it ends. See page 6 to learn more about this important requirement or visit wildlife.utah.gov/harvestreporting to complete your harvest report online.

23
As a Dedicated Hunter, you have the opportunity to obtain a deer permit every year for three years. Even better, you can hunt all three seasonsarchery, muzzleloader and any legal weapon (rifle)with your Dedicated Hunter permit. In exchange for this opportunity, you agree to complete the following requirements: Participate in all three years of the program Pass an online wildlife conservation and ethics course Complete a minimum of 32 service hours on Division-approved wildlife conservation projects during the three-year period Harvest only two deer during your threeyear enrollment period To learn more about the program, please visit wildlife.utah.gov/dh.
wildlife.utah.gov
Online applications for the Dedicated Hunter Program will be accepted from Feb. 1March 4, 2013 (as part of the 2013 big game application process). You may apply as an individual or in groups of up to four hunters.
If you apply for the Dedicated Hunter Program in 2013, and you arent selected to participate, youll receive a Dedicated Hunter preference point. These preference points give Dedicated Hunters a better chance at getting into the program in future years, if they arent selected to participate in the program in 2013. If you dont want to join the program this yearbut youd like a better chance at participating next yearyou can choose to purchase a Dedicated Hunter preference point.
