Utah tags/licenses?

[HuskyMusky]

If/when I draw a Utah tag, particularly, bison, sheep, but may pertain to all game tags,

does one have to report/register a sheep or bison with the state?

I assume the tag/license is just mailed to me? but if not please clarify if you know.

also is anything else needed to hunt in Utah? stamp? license? tag etc...


I know when I've hunted WY I believe the tag or license call it what you will, they seem to vary state by state, but I also needed to buy a stamp. Just would like to have all this stuff mailed to me/bought ahead of time.

Thanks!

The license will be mailed to you. If you draw a cow bison tag you will be required to take a bison orientation class to learn the difference between a cow and a bull. You will be sent any other information that you will need. I know on the bison they will send you a blood sampling kit that you will need to return along with a few hairs from the tail of the bison along with a survey that you can do on line.

The blood sampling is to verify that the bison herd is still brucellosis free.

Other than that you already have what you need. The animal tag is the only requirement for you to have. The actual hunting license that you needed to apply for the hunts does not need to be valid to go on the hunt itself. It is just for the draw.

I think all OIL and Limited Entry tags require online harvest reporting. Bighorns also have to have plug or seal attached by the DWR within 72 hours of leaving the hunting area. When I hunted limited elk they required a tooth sample, but they sent me everything necessary for submitting that.

Feeling confident on drawing a sheep or bison?

Definitely an overlooked part of most hunts in my opinion. There is more to the hunt than just the hunt itself. Make sure all tags, stamps, etc. are purchased and on hand and all post hunt paperwork and duties are taken care of. There are some pretty severe penalties out there for even not reporting your hunt even if you were unsuccessful in harvesting an animal. May be a good read in the MRS of one of the magazines to cover most of the western states and some of the hunt "extras." I purchased a lifetime conservation stamp in Wyoming a couple years ago, so I'm covered for having it plus in case the price goes up, which it did for this coming year, if it wasn't last year.
