Utah hunting guide (proclamation) question?

Post by **DeadI** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 11:16 am

So this year we have to have a big game hunting permit or a combination in order to put in for the hunts. My question is this. If my combination expires the middle of January, do I need to have a updated permit for the upcoming season or, if I get my application turned in before the permit expires will I be okay, I plan to get a new combination right away but I don't know if I need to wait to apply for the hunts untile after i get the new permit?

Does all this rambling make sense to anyone. I tried to look it up on the pdf version of the proclamation but could not find anything that would clarify that for me.

Thanks.

Kinda wondering that myself.

I remember reading that the big game hunting permit or combo license expires 365 days after you purchase it.

I have no clue DeadI, but I would assume you could apply with it and get another one after??

DeadI, I might have misunderstood your question. I would imagine they would still accept your application, if your hunting/ combo license was current at the time of the application deadline but if you're successful in the draw and your hunting/combo had expired, UDWR would require you to purchase a current hunting or combo license before they would release your draw tag.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. My combonation tag is up in two weeks. I'll send an email to the division and find out and let you know.

I called the springville city headquarter and they said that I could put in for the draws with the one I have now, then updated it when it expires.

Did they happen to say when it had to be good through? Is it just through the application period or does it need to be through the whole draw period?

I think that I'll just wait till this one expires and do it all at once.

I should have checked my email first.

They said that it only has to be current through the application period. They also said that if you wanted to you could buy a new one now and it would just replace the old one. That way it wouldn't expire half way through the draw period every year.
