Migratory game birds have moved

Beginning in 2025, the migratory game birds formerly included in the Utah Upland Game and Turkey Guidebook — American crow, band-tailed pigeon, mourning and white-winged dove, and sandhill crane — are now regulated under Utah Admin. Rule R657-9 as approved by the Utah Wildlife Board. If you’re hunting migratory game birds or waterfowl (ducks, geese, snipe, coots and tundra swan), please see the newly named Utah Waterfowl and Migratory Game Birds Guidebook, for permit information, field requirements, season dates, bag and possession limits, and more.
