Licenses

What Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no whole-unit line for 2023; a year's total is the sum of published weapon rows, added only where the lines do not overlap.

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. How we compute these.
