With a dedicated hunter permit, you get to hunt all four seasons: Archery, Muzzleloader, Early Rifle, and Late Rifle. You get to do this for three consecutive years. In exchange for the permit, you have to pay $175 and do 32 hours of wildlife related service plus, you only get to take 2 deer during the 3 years.That does suck mate, but I must ask what is the dedicated hunter one about?
Do you get any resident OTC tags where you live?
The nearest available tags would be in a unit 3 or 4 hours away, if there are any left. We won't find that out until, I think, July. I don't have the time available to do any pre-season scouting, so it would most likely be a waste of time and money.That stinks. Is it far to drive to another area?
Guess they don't have the deer we do here in VA. We are blessed!I swear, I don't understand the purpose of units, lotteries, etc used in some of our states. Guess I have been blessed here on the east coast. Buy my license, deer, turkey, etc tags and go hunt. Why did these units and lotteries start? Are they useful and necessary?
Thanks for the educatuon

I believe the reason they do it is of course an attempt to micro-manage the game herds in individual units by limiting the number of tags given & animals harvested in each
For all those who have drawn a permit this year here is some incentive to get out.View attachment 14462
Without the lottery draws in Utah, our deer would be wiped out.I swear, I don't understand the purpose of units, lotteries, etc used in some of our states.
