Question for hunt

[marley]

I am heading to UT soon for my goat hunt. Do I need to register or buy a permit for my ATV for while I am there? And in CO all rifles have to be in a closed case while on an ATV, is that the same for UT. When growing up in UT this was not required but just wanted to make sure the rules hadn't change since then. Thanks.

The rule for carrying a firearm is still the same in UT as it's always been. Empty chamber but the gun does not have to be totally encased like in CO.

I don't know about the registration thing. In Wyo I need an additional sticker for that State but I didn't for NV or CO (at least I've never gotten one for those States).

Where is you unit in UT?

Never mind on which unit marley. I know what you have but I just didn't see that it was you as the original poster.

Good luck on your hunt!

Thanks for the info Zeke. I didn't think so just wanted to make sure and too lazy to look it up. I haven't decided if i want to base camp it up there or just ride up every day. Base camping would be a fun experience up there but a warm comfortable bed in At my parents in Brigham City and a burger at Dixie Grill every night also sounds nice, lol.

You need an OHV permit.

 

[marley]

Is it needed even if it is registered in another state? If so how do I or where do I get one?

 

[marley]

I've searched the DWR website and can't find anything on the OHV permit. The only thing I could find is that you must have a valid drivers license. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As long as your OHV is registered(doesn't matter what state) you are good to go. Prove of valid registration and drivers license is all you need. Good luck on your upcoming hunt. Im alittle jealous to say to least.

I actually found it on the state parks website. A nonresident is required to buy a $30 OHV permit to ride in UT. Learn something new everyday.

 

[Zeke]

By buying the permit it will make you a better rider in Utah! lol

Yeah I figured with 30 tag holders all hunting Willard peak there will probably be a few officers up there and me being a nonres, I better have all my ducks in a row.

Just don't shoot the guy dressed up as a goat. Haha. What a weird story that was. Good luck

We called the State parks office and were told that the registration from Pa. is all we need. if it didn't have a current reg., we would need one.

There is a list of the states that have to register and PA is not on that list. Kind of jacked up if you ask me that some do have to pay and others don't. Makes no sense. Heres the link for the states that do have to buy a OHV permit.

Enjoy that hunt....I had the tag last year. I grew up at the base of Ben Lomand in Pleasant View. You can easily stay in Brigham City and just ride up every day. Just depends on where you want to hunt. I have some info on a really big goat that didn't go down last year....he is in some wicked country but he is Huge!!!

Thanks for the offer but I actually have the nanny tag for Willard peak.

The reason you do in some and don't in others is because the 2 states (Utah and the other one) don't have reciprocity setup. This all started a few years ago with Idaho actually. Idaho started charging all out of staters a permit fee to ride in Idaho (this happen on snowmobiles first). So other states said, "Well if you require our residents to buy an out of state permit then we'll require it of yours".

In Utah, it is all about what the other state does. If the other state accepts Utah registration without requiring an out of state tag then Utah "reciprocates". If they do require it, then Utah requires it.

Nice...still a great hunt. I also know where a really large Nanny was hanging out last year. They are not hard to find up there which I'm sure you know. Enjoy!!!! Steep and Beautiful up there.
