License required for access at Lee Kay Wildlife Management Area beginning May 7, 2025
H.B. 309 is a new state law requiring anyone 18 years old or older to have a valid Utah hunting, fishing or combination license to access wildlife and waterfowl management areas in Utah's four largest counties. This currently includes Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties, based upon population.
The law also defined the boundary of the Lee Kay Wildlife Management Area (formerly called the Lee Kay Conservation Area) that requires a license for access beginning May 7, 2025. To apply for Bluetooth lock/vehicle access to the Lee Kay WMA and more information about walk-in requirements, visit the Lee Kay WMA access page.
A license is not required to access Lee Kay Public Shooting Range classrooms, shooting ranges or facilities, nor is it required for those who hold valid special use permits for events and training purposes on the WMA during the dates specified on the permit.

Lee Kay Public Shooting Range rules
100-/200-/300-yard ranges
Please note:
No steel core or steel projectile ammunition (any ammunition where the projectile attracts a magnet) is allowed on any range.
- Uncased firearms must be carried with the muzzle pointed up, action open and magazines removed.
- Firearm muzzle must be pointed in a safe direction at all times.
- All visitors must check in with a range safety officer before entering the range (crossing the chain-link fence barrier). Eye and ear protection is required before you cross the chain link fence onto the range.
- Any time the buzzer sounds, a cease fire is called, or you leave to check or change targets, leave your firearm on the bench with the muzzle pointed downrange, the action open and empty, and the magazine removed.
- If the buzzer sounds or a cease fire is called, you must be behind the railing and remain there until the range safety officer clears the range. You may not handle or move your firearm during any cease fire!
- Do not cross the red line in front of the benches.
- Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Accompanied means the youth and the adult must remain close enough for the adult to see and provide verbal assistance to the young shooter.
- Shooters of any age who are not hitting the target, struggling with firearm handling or causing other safety concerns will be required to correct their actions before being allowed to continue to shoot.
- Shooters must have secured a bench before posting of any targets.
