Corrections

Page 71: In the CWMU buck deer hunt table, the Plymouth Peak CWMU (DB1276) was listed in error. That property combined with Washakie CWMU (DB1306) last year.

The online edition of this guidebook has been updated to remove the reference to Plymouth Peak CWMU.

Page 50: In the limited-entry buck deer muzzleloader hunt table, the beginning date of the Cache, Crawford Mtn hunt (DB1026) was listed incorrectly as Nov. 9. The correct dates for this hunt are Nov. 8-23, 2025.

The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with the correct date.

Page 28: In the timeline of application dates, the "2nd chance to apply for big game bonus/preference points" date was listed as starting June 6. The actual dates are June 4-18, 2025, which align with the antlerless application period.

The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with the correct dates.

Page 67: In the Once-in-a-lifetime Mountain Goat Hunts table, the Wasatch Mtns, Timpanogos hunt (#GO6820) was printed in blue text. The hunt name and number has been corrected to black text, indicating that there is a nonresident permit available in this year's application.

The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with the correct text color.

Updates

Page 28: An update to the wildlife management and waterfowl management areas that will be closed to the general public (including big game hunting) for sponsored youth and beginner pheasant hunts was made after the printed guidebook was distributed.

The 2024 closures are:

• Oct. 26 — Huntington Game Farm (until 3 p.m.)

The online edition of the guidebook has been edited to reflect this update.

Corrections

Page 44: The correct dates for the elk muzzleloader multi-season hunt are Oct. 30–Nov. 7 (the end date was listed incorrectly in the printed edition of the guidebook as Nov. 9). Hunter permits, the Hunt Planner and all other instances in the guidebook list the correct dates. The online edition of the guidebook has been edited to reflect this correction.

Page 19: The footnote in the "What seasons can youth hunt?" table indicated an incorrect page number for reference. The footnote has been updated to refer to page 38 (instead of page 43). The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with this correction.

Page 54: The Hunter Mentoring Program no longer requires participating youth to be Utah residents. The word "resident" has been deleted from the information box. The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with this correction.

Pages 3 and 24: In the description of the new muzzleloader regulations, the guidebook language as printed was unclear about how those rules apply to HAMSS hunts. Those descriptions have been edited to reiterate that no scopes of any kind are allowed on HAMSS hunts. The online edition of the guidebook has been edited to reflect these updates.

Page 32: Minor corrections were made to the section describing the use of trail cameras on private land to align more closely with Utah Code § 23A-5-307: A trail camera using internal data storage and not capable of transmitting data is permitted for use on private lands for the purposes of taking protected wildlife. The online edition of the guidebook has been edited to reflect these changes.

Page 43: An incorrect end date for the general-season archery elk hunt was printed in the guidebook. Utah's general season archery spike elk hunt runs from Aug. 17—Sept. 6, 2024 (not Sept. 5, as was indicated in the print edition). The online edition of this guidebook has been updated with this correction.
