Show Open Bull Hunting Areas Authorized For Utah Elk Hunt The lineup for this fall's elk hunts looks considerably different than past years with the Board of Big Game Control declaring several elk units open bull hunting areas, which will mean no drawing for permits on these units. The Board authorized a total of 1,025 elk permits on the following units: Cache, Cache-Rich, Cache-Rich, Ogden, Heaston, Salt Lake, Browns Park, Nebo, Fish Lake, Mt. Dutton, and LaSal Mountains. All elk hunts will open September 30 except for Browns Park, which will open October 7, and the Heaston and Fish Lake hunts, which will open November 11. One change for permit applications ap-plications on these units will be that hunters will not include in-clude the $15 fee with their application, but will submit it only if they are successful in drawing out for a permit. This procedure is expected to save problems and money for the Fish and Game Department, De-partment, since the department depart-ment will not have to spend postage money to return all the checks to the unsuccessful applicants. Full details on application dates and hunting dates will be available in proclamation form by July 15. |
