Your chance of drawing here

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has not offered a pronghorn license in Plateau, Parker Mtn in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Utah pronghorn 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.
