Please remember that you must have a nonresident Utah hunting license or a nonresident Utah combination license to apply for a point or a hunting permit.

and also remember that you can apply for all species, not just one OIL and one LE tag

HERE IS THE EMAIL RECIEVED FROM UTAH FISH AND GAME

If you've ever tried to obtain a Utah big game hunting permit-and you don't live in Utah-you know how difficult it can be to get one.

Most of Utah's big game permits are reserved for Utah residents, which doesn't leave many permits for nonresidents.

The Utah Wildlife Board recently made a change, however, that could increase the chance you draw a permit.

There 's no longer a limit on the number of limited entry and once-in-a-lifetime species you can apply for.

For example, if you wanted to hunt bull moose and bighorn sheep, in the past you could apply for only one of the two species. In 2009, you can apply for both, along with any other limited entry and once-in-a-lifetime species you'd like to apply for.

"You can obtain only one limited entry or once-in-a-lifetime permit a year, but you'll receive a bonus point for every species you don't obtain a permit for," says Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "Those points increase the chance that you'll draw a permit in the future."

thegreatwhitehunter = I have never heard about this before - thanks for sharing.. I'm happy to hear about it! It probably just means more money for them, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And to think, I get to start building up points in everything!!! Hopefully I get some good hunting in somewhere down the road

A couple of you I believe are a little miss guided. This only applies to non residents. Non Residents may applie for all species. However residents of the state of Utah are still restricted to only one species at a time. Correct me if Im wrong, but this is how I understood the rule change when they passed it at the Board.

you are correct jared, I just finished applying for Bighorn!!!!!!! :not-worthy

Dang, unfortunately you're right. I just put in for my Desert Bighorn and LE elk and was stoked thinking i was going to be able to apply for LE deer and OIL moose too but sadly found that nothing has changed... Why is this just for non residents? And why has utah restricted you from applying for all hunts from the get go? It seems like it should have always been the way it is now for non residents for everyone all along.

TGWH- thanks for the info.
