1,000 fewer permits recommended for northern Utah, however
More hunters could be hunting on some of Utah's best big game units this fall. There are many reasons why, but in most cases the bottom line is the same big game animals in Utah are doing well.
Photo "This is a great time to hunt big game in Utah," says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "Utah has a wider variety of animals to hunt than ever before. And despite some loss of animals this winter, the state's big game populations are doing well."
The DWR will present its big game permit recommendations for this fall at a series of public meetings. Management plans for each of Utah's limited entry elk units and updates to Utah's Bighorn Sheep Management Plan also will be reviewed.
