Utah’s antlerless elk control permits are now available. Learn more and see if you’re eligible to buy one. | https://go.usa.gov/j36B
During the 2013 season, the Division wants hunters to harvest as many antlerless elk as possible from 10 of Utah’s hunting units:
- Chalk Creek
- East Canyon
- Henry Mtns (elk and desert bighorn)
- Morgan-South Rich
- Nine Mile, Range Creek
- San Juan, East of US-191
- San Rafael, North
- South Slope, Yellowstone
- Wasatch Mtns, Currant Creek
- Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin
If you obtained a permit (including general season) to harvest a buck, bull or once-in-a-lifetime species on any of the above units (not including CWMUs), you have the option of purchasing an antlerless elk-control permit.
The elk-control permit allows you to harvest an antlerless elk in the same unit where you’ll already be hunting an antlered big game animal. You may hunt the antlerless elk only during the season dates—and with the same weapon—listed on your buck, bull or once-in-a-lifetime permit.
If you will be hunting buck deer and antlerless elk at the same time, please visit wildlife.utah.gov/maps to verify your boundaries for the elk portion of the hunt. You may only hunt antlerless elk on certain areas within the following buck deer units:
- Nine Mile (see the Nine Mile, Range Creek antlerless elk map for the area you are allowed to hunt)
- San Juan, Abajo Mtns (see the San Juan, East of US-191 antlerless elk map for the area you are allowed to hunt)
- Central Mtns, Manti/San Rafael (see the San Rafael, North antlerless elk map for the area you are allowed to hunt)
- Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin/Currant Creek (see the Wasatch Mtns, Currant Creek and Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin antlerless elk maps for the areas you are allowed to hunt)
If you will be hunting bull elk (either limited-entry or general-season) and antlerless elk at the same time, please visit wildlife.utah.gov/maps to verify your boundaries for the antlerless elk portion of the hunt. You may only hunt antlerless elk on certain areas within the following bull elk unit:
- Wasatch Mtns (see the Wasatch Mtns, Currant Creek and Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin antlerless elk maps for the areas you are allowed to hunt)
To obtain an antlerless elk-control permit, please visit a license agent or any Division office, beginning July 18, 2013.
