The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is proposing a variety of changes to big game hunting that would go into effect in 2024. Harvest surveys have been required for all limited-entry big game hunts in Utah for approximately the past 20 years. This year, mandatory harvest reporting was also required for all the 2023 antlerless hunts. Now, due to feedback from hunters, the DWR is proposing to also require mandatory harvest reporting for all of the general-season buck deer and bull elk hunts in Utah, beginning in 2024. Under this proposed recommendation, permit holders would have 30 days to report the results of their hunt after the hunting season ends. Public input is encouraged. The next Northeastern Utah RAC meeting is happening November 16th at 6pm at the DWR Vernal Office at 318 N. Vernal Ave. in Vernal.
