Hoping for a chance to harvest local elk or deer meat? The Division of Wildlife Resources announced on Tuesday that beginning on Wednesday, June 7th you can apply for a permit to hunt Utah’s antlerless big game animals, including: antlerless elk, antlerless moose, antlerless deer, doe pronghorn, and ewe bighorn sheep. “The antlerless big game hunts are a great opportunity to not only harvest meat and make some great memories outdoors, but also to help manage wildlife populations and maintain healthy herds and landscapes,” shares DWR Licensing Coordinator Lindy Varney. Applications must be submitted no later than 11pm on Thursday, June 22nd. A valid Utah hunting or combination license is needed before you can apply for a 2023 antlerless permit, bonus point or preference point. Licenses can be purchased on the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website, by calling 1-800-221-0659 or by visiting a license agent. The drawing results will be available on or before July 7th.
