All hunters must possess either a valid Basic Hunting License or a Combination License before purchasing a more specific hunting permit. A Basic Hunting License is required to hunt Utah game animals. A Combination License is a combined Basic Hunting and Fishing License that is valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. In addition to either of these two licenses, many game animals require an additional hunting permit.
