Licenses
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has not offered a deer license in Plateau, Fishlake 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.

About These Numbers
Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward.
