Your chance of drawing here
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has not offered a deer license in Kaiparowits Hams in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Utah deer hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone
What Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season.
| Season | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 5 | 4 | 80% |
| 2022 | 4 | 3 | 75% |
| 2021 | 5 | 2 | 40% |
