Licenses, permits & miscellaneous

If you want to hunt in Utah, you must possess either a valid hunting license or a combination license. Depending on what species you want to hunt, you may also need an additional permit. (Permits and licenses are different documents.)

A hunting license is required to hunt game animals in Utah, and a combination license serves as both a hunting license and a fishing license. Licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase, unless you buy a multiyear license, which will be valid for longer.
