CHANGES TO THE DEER HUNT

Starting in 2012, Utahs general-season deer hunt will take place in 30 units instead of five regions. Its a big change, and we know you have questions about how its going to work. To answer your questions, weve put together some easy-to-use online resources, including a Q&A document and detailed maps. You can find these tools at wildlife.utah.gov. Weve also printed a large map of all the units, which will be available at any Division office or license agent location, starting in early January. Before the big game application period opens on Feb. 1, we will post additional information you can use in selecting a unit. This information will likely include 2011 harvest data, historic permit allocations and the latest buck-to-doe ratios on the 30 units. All of these resources may be useful as you research your hunt and decide which units to apply for. The switch to 30 units has also prompted changes to various Division programs, particularly the Dedicated Hunter Program (see the article on page 24). This guidebook and the Divisions website are your best resources for understanding those changes and navigating the 2012 big game application period. For the latest information, please visit wildlife.utah.gov frequently in January 2012.
Who makes the rules?
HIGHLIGHTS
Whats new this season?
Hunt deer in units, instead of regions: In 2012, the general-season deer hunt will take place in 30 units, instead of five regions. For more information, see the article at the top of this page, visit go.usa.gov/Xtm and see the hunt tables that begin on page 32. Nine-day rifle deer hunt in all areas: In 2012, the general-season any legal weapon (rifle) deer hunt will run from Oct. 2028 statewide. For a complete list of season dates, please see page 7. Changes to general-season archery deer hunt: The general-season archery deer hunt will not be statewide in 2012. If you obtain a general-season archery deer permit this year, you must hunt the unit listed on your permit. If youre interested in the extended archery season, see the information box on page 17. Extended archery boundary changes: Three of the extended archery hunt boundaries are changing in 2012. Visit wildlife.utah.gov/maps to see the updated maps and boundaries.
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.

Maps and boundaries online
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 2012, the Division will print and distribute a large detailed map of the 30 general-season deer units. The map will be available at Division offices and most license agent locations. If you draw a generalseason deer permit, a map will accompany your permit in the mail. Smaller group sizes: In 2012, the maximum group size is dropping from ten to four. For more information on applying as a group, see the information box on page 17. Youth-only groups: For the first time in 2012, youth may apply together in a group of up to four hunters. For details, see the article on page 22.
Changes to youth opportunities: In order to hunt all three general deer seasons (archery, muzzleloader and any legal weapon), a youth who is 18 or younger must obtain a generalseason any legal weapon permit. This is a change from previous years. For details, see the article on page 22. New bison hunt: The Utah Wildlife Board approved a new bison hunt in the Book Cliffs for the 2012 big game season. This hunt is listed on page 47. Buck/bull combo hunt ending: Because of the switch to unit-based hunting, the Division is discontinuing the Northern Region buck/bull combination hunt. You can use any preference points youve accumulated for this hunt in the general-season buck deer drawing. Attention Dedicated Hunters: Because of the switch to unit-based hunting, there will be some changes to the Dedicated Hunter Program. For details, see the information box on page 24.
Dont lose your hunting and fishing privileges

If you commit a wildlife violation, you could lose the privilege of hunting and fishing in Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources can suspend the license of anyone who knowingly, intentionally or recklessly violates wildlife laws. Your license can be suspended for a wildlife violation if: You are convicted. You plead guilty or no contest. You enter a plea in abeyance or diversion agreement.
wildlife.utah.gov

Suspension proceedings are separate and independent from criminal prosecution. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources may suspend your license privileges whether or not the court considers suspension in your criminal case. You will be notified of any action against your privilege after criminal proceedings conclude. And remember, if your license is suspended in Utah, you may not be permitted to hunt or fish in most other states. (Visit ianrc.org to see a map of participating states.)
Permits for lifetime license holders: If youre a lifetime license holder, see the box on page 19 for more information about selecting a unit and obtaining your general-season deer permit. Change in remaining permit sales: If any general-season deer permits remain after the big game drawing, they will go on sale in July 2012. This year, the Division will split the sales day, offering the remaining archery and muzzloader permits on July 19 and the remaining any legal weapon permits on July 31. For details, see page 16. Dont lose your bonus points: If you do not apply for a limited-entry or once-in-a-lifetime permitor a bonus pointat least once in a consecutive three-year period, you will lose any big game bonus points youve accrued. For details, see page 18.
Take a closer look at the rules
And keep in mind

Drawing results: The results of the big game drawing will be available on May 31, 2012. For more information on how to obtain your results, see page 15. Field regulations available in May: Utahs 2012 Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook will be available from license agents and Division offices by the end of May 2012. It will include the rules for both big game and antlerless hunting. Antlerless application information: Visit wildlife.utah.gov by the end of May 2012 to find the tools and resources you need to apply for a 2012 antlerless permit. 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.
This guidebookalong with the 2012 Utah Big Game Field Regulations guidebook (printing in May 2012)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 Administrative Rule R657-5-24 and Utah Code 23-2025to 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. Hunting license required: Before you can apply for a 2012 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 35 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 7.

For more information, please see Utah Code 23-20-14 and 23-20-3.5. 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.
Antlerless big game hunting
Antlerless hunting is the primary tool biologists use to control the size of big game herds. In Utah, you can hunt antlerless animals if you obtain an antlerless permit for the species you want to hunt. This year, you can apply online for antlerless deer, elk and moose permits, and for doe pronghorn permits. In May 2012, the Division will provide online tools and resources to help you prepare for the 2012 antlerless application period, which runs from June 121, 2012. The antlerless drawing results will be available by July 11. If any antlerless permits remain available after the drawing, you can purchase them beginning at 8 a.m. on July 17. You can buy them at wildlife.utah.gov and at license agent locations and Division offices. The Division will print the 2012 Utah Big Game Field Regulations guidebook in late May. That guidebook will contain information you can use in the field during both the big game and antlerless hunts.
wildlife.utah.gov
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. If you obtain a doe pronghorn or a cow moose permit, you may not obtain a buck pronghorn or a bull moose permit this year.

Shed antler and shed horn season dates

Online course and completion certificate required* Feb. 1April 15
You may gather shed antlers or horns or parts of shed antlers or hornsstatewide, but there is one seasonal requirement. From Feb. 1 to April 15, 2012, you must have an antler-gathering certificate on your person while collecting shed antlers or horns. You can obtain this certificate free of charge by visiting wildlife.utah.gov and completing an online education course. You do not need an antler-gathering certificate at any other time of the year.

Are you planning to hunt big game in Utah this year? Before you apply for a permit, make sure you meet Utahs age, hunter education, license and permit requirements.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Are you old enough?

Utah Code 23-19-22
To hunt big game in Utah, you must be at least 12 years old. If youre 11 years oldbut youll be 12 by Dec. 31, 2012you can apply for or obtain a big game permit. 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. Buy a Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) permit directly from a CWMU operator. If youre 13 years oldand youll be 14 by Dec. 31, 2012you 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.
Have you passed hunter education?

Utah Code 23-19-11 & Utah Admin. Rule R657-23
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.
Adults must accompany young hunters

Utah Code 23-20-20
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. 3. Take your registration certificate to your instructor on the first night of class. 4. Successfully complete the course your instructor will then validate your certificate. The validated certificate serves as your hunting license.
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.
wildlife.utah.gov
11
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 can see a list of hunter education courses at wildlife.utah.gov/huntereducation. You can also contact your local Division office or call 801-5384727.
Do you have a license?

Utah Code 23-19-1, 23-19-22 and 23-20-3
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, 2012. 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.
Do you have a permit?

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.
To participate in any of Utahs big game hunts, you need to obtain a hunting permit. See page 13 to learn about the types of permits available in 2012. Utah issues most of its big game permits through the big game hunt drawing. To apply for this drawing, visit wildlife.utah.gov between Feb. 1 and March 1, 2012. For additional details and important dates, see Applying for a Big Game Permit on page 14.
Carry your permit
If you are successful in obtaining a big game permit, you must have it on your person while hunting. You cannot alter your license or permit, nor can you sell, transfer or loan either of them to another person.

Extended archery deer hunt

Applying as a group
Utah Admin. Rule R657-62-7 and R657-62-19
If you obtain a general-season archery deer permit in 2012and you complete the online extended archery ethics courseyou may also hunt any of Utahs extended archery areas during the extended archery deer season. In December 2011, the Utah Wildlife Board approved changes to three extended archery boundaries for the 2012 season. To see the updated maps and boundaries, visit wildlife.utah.gov/maps. The online archery ethics course is an annual requirement for archers who want to hunt the extended areas and seasons. To take the course, visit go.usa.gov/5fb before the extended seasons begin. After you successfully complete the course, print your completion certificate and keep it with you while hunting. Please keep in mind that in 2012, the extended archery deer season is scheduled to begin the day after the general-season archery deer hunt ends.
Buck deer, buck pronghorn and bull elk permits

Instead of applying as an individual hunter, you and your friends and family can apply together as a group. Both residents and nonresidents can apply together. However, if youre a Utah resident and you decide to apply with a nonresident, make sure nonresident permits are available for each hunt your group is applying for. If nonresident permits are not available for a hunt your group is applying for, the nonresident and everyone else in the groupincluding the Utah residentswill not be allowed to draw for that hunt unit. Up to four hunters can apply together for limited-entry, premium limited-entry, general-season deer and resident CWMU deer, elk or pronghorn permits. Group applications are not accepted for management buck deer hunts. If your group is successful in the drawing, all of the applicants in your group who have valid applications will receive a permit. NOTE: Young hunters can now apply as part of a youth-only group. Please see page 22 for more information about Utahs youth hunting opportunities. You can still apply for other once-in-a-lifetime species that you havent drawn a permit for. Also, if youve been convicted of unlawfully taking a once-in-a-lifetime species, you may never apply for or obtain a permit for that species again.
The waiting period for buck deer and buck pronghorn is two years. The bull elk waiting period is five years. Waiting periods do not apply to general-season permits.
Once-in-a-lifetime permits
wildlife.utah.gov
Bull moose, bison, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, desert bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goat permits are once-in-a-lifetime permits. If you obtain a once-in-a-lifetime permit for a particular species, such as a bull moose permit, you may not apply for a bull moose permit again in the drawing.
Permits obtained after the drawing

If youre under a waiting period for a certain species, you can still obtain any permit that remains for that species after the drawing, but your waiting period will start all over again.
17
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. For example, if you have two years left on your bull elk waiting period, and you buy a limited-entry bull elk permit that remains available after the drawing, youll begin a new five-year waiting period that will prevent you from applying for a limited-entry bull elk permit for the next five years. If youre not already under a waiting period and you obtain a limited-entry or once-in-alifetime permit that remains available after the drawingyou will lose your bonus points for that species and incur a waiting period.
not obtain a permit in the public drawing for that species in the future. If you have obtained a once-in-a-lifetime permit in the wildlife convention drawing, you may not apply for that species in any other public drawing.
Bonus points
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.
Dont lose your points
CWMU, conservation, convention and landowner permits

wildlife.utah.gov
If you obtain a CWMU, conservation, convention or landowner permit from a private individual or organizationfor deer, elk or pronghorn you wont be subject to a waiting period. The rules regarding CWMU and once-in-alifetime permits are as follows: If you have obtained a once-in-a-lifetime permit in the public drawing in the past, you may buy a once-in-a-lifetime permit from a landowner or a CWMU operator. If you have not obtained a once-in-alifetime permit in the public drawingand you buy a once-in-a-lifetime permit from a landowner or a CWMU operatoryou may
If you do not apply for a big game limitedentry or once-in-a-lifetime permitor a bonus pointat least once in a consecutive three-year period, you will lose any big game bonus points youve accrued. This rule went into effect in 2009, and point loss will not occur until after the 2012 antlerless drawing. If you havent applied for a limited-entry or once-in-a-lifetime permit or point in the past two years, simply apply for one of them in 2012 to avoid losing your points. If you arent sure when you last applied, visit your application and drawing history online at www.utah-hunt.com/UT_Returncard.
Applying for a bonus point
Even if youre not going to hunt in 2012, 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
18
the $10 application fee. The 2012 bonus point application period is Feb. 1March 8, 2012. 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 2012. To apply for a bonus point, you must be eligible for the hunt the bonus point will be awarded for. For example, if youre eligible for a limitedentry buck deer permit, youre eligible to apply for a limited-entry buck deer bonus point.
Lifetime license holders: Obtaining your permit in 2012

Utah Admin. Rule R657-17
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.
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 2012 big game application. Visit wildlife.utah.gov between Feb. 1 and March 1, 2012 to access the application, complete the questionnaire and select a unit. If you do not complete the lifetime license questionnaire by March 1, 2012, you will not receive a permit. 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 2012, you must complete your lifetime license questionnaire. For more information about lifetime licenses, visit go.usa.gov/1em or see Utah Admin. Rule R657-17 at wildlife.utah.gov/rules.

Obtain permission to hunt private property
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.
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.

Surrendering a permit
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 go.usa.gov/I8V.
Preference points
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.

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.
Even if you wont be hunting general-season buck deer in 2012, 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 8, 2012.
wildlife.utah.gov
Draw a permit, receive a preference point
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.

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.

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. 18, 2012 (the day the general archery deer season opens).
Private landowner and CWMU permit holders
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 8. 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.

Permit refunds and exchanges

You must also pay a $10 handling fee to exchange a permit.
Obtaining a refund
Duplicate licenses
Utah Code 23-19-10 & Utah Admin. Rule R657-5-5
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 go.usa.gov/I8V.
Permit exchanges
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.
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 2012, there will be a few changes to youth hunting opportunities. Multiple-season deer hunting will change slightly, and youth will be able to apply together in youth-only groups. Despite those changes, one thing will remain the same: Twenty percent of Utahs general-season buck deer permits will still be reserved for young hunters.
CHANGES FOR YOUNG HUNTERS
Hunting multiple seasons
If you will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 18, 2012 (the opening day of the generalseason archery deer hunt), 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. 18Sept. 14, 2012. If you havent harvested a deer by the time the archery season ends, you may hunt the same

22
This is a change from previous years, when you could hunt multiple seasons after obtaining a general-season muzzleloader permit.
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 go.usa.gov/I95. 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.
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 how the hunt drawing works, please visit go.usa.gov/5G8.
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. 15, 2012. For information about season dates, see page 7.
Youth-only groups
If you will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 18, you can participate in the youth drawing for general-season deer permits. You can submit an application as an individual hunter orfor the first timeas a member of a youth-only group.
Help protect Utah wildlife
No adults allowed Starting in 2012, up to four young hunters can apply to hunt together in a youth-only group. The Division supported this change after receiving feedback from members of the public who wanted their children to be able to hunt buck deer in the same unit with siblings, friends and cousins.
Protecting and preserving Utahs threatened wildlife is up to each of us, and together we can make a difference. Please join Utah Wildlife In Need as we work together to help ensure Utahs wildlife treasures are part of the legacy we leave for our children and grandchildren.

For more information on redeeming a voucher and using a CWMU permit, please visit wildlife.utah.gov/cwmu and click the Information tab. If you draw a permit to hunt on a CWMU, you must contact the CWMU operator to obtain essential information about when and where youll be hunting. The operator will also provide the CWMU rules. For more information on CWMU season dates, see page 8. For information on individual CWMU properties, visit wildlife.utah.gov/cwmu.
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 3,400 hunting permits for bucks and bulls in 2012. About 14 percent of those permits are available to the general public through the states big game drawing.
Obtaining a CWMU permit
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
Mandatory harvest reporting
If you obtain a CWMU permit, you must report information about your hunt within 30 days after it ends. See page 35 to learn more about this important requirement or visit wildlife.utah.gov/harvestreporting to complete your harvest report online.

Mandatory reporting
If you obtain a premium limited-entry, limited-entry, management buck deer, CWMU, conservation, sportsman, convention or oncein-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 harvested an animal, this 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 a once-in-alifetime, premium limited-entry, limited-entry, management buck deer or CWMU permits, or bonus points in 2013. If you didnt report your 2011 harvest survey questionnaire by the deadline, you can restore your eligibility to apply for a 2012 permit by paying a $50 late fee. For more information, call 1-800-221-0659.
