How does Utah's draw use points?
For limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime hunts, 'Fifty percent of the permits for each hunt unit will be reserved for applicants with the greatest number of bonus points' and the rest are drawn at random, where each applicant receives a random drawing number for the species and for each bonus point (R657-62-8); general-season buck deer, antlerless deer, antlerless elk and doe pronghorn use preference points instead, which give unsuccessful applicants 'first preference in the next year's drawing' (R657-62-9).
Where do these numbers come from?
- 2025 Big game limited-entry & once-in-a-lifetime draw results
- 2025 General-season buck deer draw results
- 2025 Youth general-season deer draw results
- 2025 Youth draw-only elk draw results
- 2025 Antlerless big game draw results
