All of the other permits to hunt buck deer in Utah this fall are gone. But you can still get a permit to hunt bull elk during this fall's general rifle or muzzleloader hunts. More than 23,000 bull elk rifle and muzzleloader permits are still available.
And even more permits are available to hunt elk with a bow and arrow—there's isn't a limit on the number of general archery elk permits the Division of Wildlife Resources can sell, so there's no problem getting one.
Utah's general archery elk hunt starts Aug. 20. Elk permits are available at the DWR's website (wildlife.utah.gov), from more than 300 license agents across Utah and at any DWR office.
Deer permits
More than 3,200 Northern Region buck deer permits—permits that weren't taken in this year's big game draw—have sold out. The permits sold out at 11:40 a.m. on July 27, less than five hours after going on sale.
With the exception of 1,300 archery deer permits that are available to hunters who will be 18 years of age or younger on Aug. 20, Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR, says all of Utah's deer hunting permits have been taken.
