Archers Still get to hunt Statewide
I am learning we all need to quit jumping to conclusions, still sucks for us archery hunters but its not all that bad!! Just means the South wil get POUNDED the last 9 days of the hunt!!
BUCK DEER
Archery changes: If you like to hunt during Utah's general archery buck deer hunt, you'll have to wait until Sept. 2 to hunt statewide.
Utah's general season archery buck deer hunt runs Aug. 15 to Sept. 11 on most of the units in the state.
You can hunt in a single region until Sept. 1. Starting Sept. 2, you can hunt in any region in the state.
"Hunters in southern Utah are concerned that too many archery hunters are hunting in the Southern Region at the start of the season," Aoude says.
"Depending on which region you choose to hunt in, this change could prevent you from hunting in the Southern Region at the start of the archery season. But you can still hunt in the region halfway through the season."
General archery permits are capped at 16,000. But within that cap, there's no limit on the number of permits that can be sold for each region.
When you buy your permit, just indicate which region you want to hunt in. You can hunt in that region until Sept. 1.
Starting Sept. 2, you can hunt in any region in the state.
