Utahns can begin submitting applications for the 2024 sportsman permits on October 18th at 8am. To be included in the permit drawing, you must submit your phone application by 5pm or online application no later than 11pm on November 8th. “If you draw a sportsman permit, you can hunt on almost every unit in Utah that’s open to hunting the species you drew a permit for,” shares DWR Wildlife Licensing Coordinator Lindy Varney. “Also, the season dates are much longer, so you’ll have more time to scout different places to harvest an animal. It’s truly the hunt of a lifetime.” Applicants will be notified about the drawing results on or before November 15th. You can also get the drawing results online or by calling 1-800-221-0659.
