General archery hunt 'over-the-counter' tags in Utah.

How fast do these archery Mule Deer tags sell out?
Since we didnt draw in Nevada, we are looking at southern Utah. l have been reading on the Utah dept. of wildlife about the over the counter tags from the remaining general draw that become availabe June 11th @ 7:00am. l am going to take the morning off work and log on and try to pick one up...

Do they go pretty quickly? Is there anything l should know in advance? l am looking at archery Mule Deer in the Southern area. Thanks for any and all info in advance :thumb

I don't have experience with purchasing the over the counter archery tags as my archery tags are included as part of the dedicated hunter program. If I were you I would make sure that your ready to go at 7:00 am. This year the archery hunt is not statewide for the first week or so of the archery hunt. This means that you have to specify a region for the opening portion of the archery hunt. I have to believe that the southern region will go first. If it goes before you get a tag keep in mind that at some point during the archery hunt this year the archery tags will open up to state wide. So you could purchase a different region and wait til you can hunt the southern portion of the state.

Just to be sure, I would pre purchase the required Utah hunting license and log into the dwr site ahead of time to make sure your account is working well. Then at 7:00 on the morning of the over the counter sales you'll be good to go staright to the tag purchase. Good luck and don't shoot any deer out of the southern region canyon that I'll be hunting. lol Thanks

Actually the second draw doesnt open until June 19th and ends July 6th.

But a 101 archery tags is not that many. l cant take the chance. If Utah doesnt work out, then we apply for the 2nd draw.
