We've posted the almost-final draft of the 2012 Utah Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook. We're still nailing down some of the linked content, but it's just about done. If you're interested, please take a look. Feel free to post questions and let me know if you notice any problems. Thanks!

Amy,

Shouldn't it state on page 31 under the section "Muzzleloader", bullet #6 - something regarding the legal use of "black powder substitutes that contain nitrocellulose" (I'm quoting this from page 4). It might help to clarify a little bit.

Cool to see the Division handing out free bullets

Amy i was wondering if you know how many le archery elk tags they cut for the wasatch unit

 

[Bill_in_MI]

or muzzleloader tags for that matter???

 

[dwalton]

Will we see any quota numbers prior to the draw?

 

[goatroper]

nope ...draw was already done and even claims of credit cards hits!!

Have you always been able to kill a doe on the extended archery? That's new to me...

 

[lucaar]

Yes... you have always been able to kill does on the extended.

Thanks for the suggestion, JuddCT. We agree that the statement on pg. 31 needs some clarification, and we'll take care of it before sending the proof back to the printer tomorrow. We're also making a handful of additional changes that people commented on. Thanks to everyone who took time to read through it!

As for some of the questions: This year, the Wildlife Board approved 196 LE archery elk permits on the Wasatch unit (compared to 181 permits last year). The board also approved 130 LE muzzleloader elk permits on the Wasatch (compared to 121 last year).

I already posted the following on a different thread, but here's a page that lists the 2012 general-season permit numbers by unit.
