2026 Utah

You haven't drawn Utah in 15 years? Did you forget you drew one of the best archery deer tags the state offers?

Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer

Although this will be my 10th mule deer hunt, I still don’t feel experienced. I know tree stand hunting is not popular out there, but it’s my preferred method due to physical issues. But I also plan to mix in some stalks on my upcoming Paunsagunt deer hunt. I’m wondering if when stand hunting if...

Sorry, I was totally focused on random draws. I've drawn several OIL tags in various states over the last 15 years, but all preference based. I have drawn zero random tags during those 15 years. My statement omitted that.

Only four? Are you even trying? LOL

I quit making donations for the ones with odds below .0002% or with 90% of the tags auctioned. That left four. And if I can ever burn my elk points on some low tier archery unit, I'll promptly walk the following year.

A bit surprised that I actually drew an Abajo Mtns archery general deer tag with 1 point, as it has been taking 3+ in recent years. So I guess that's better than a poke in the eye with a stick.

My daughter drew a general early rifle youth deer tag.

Nothing for me.

Nothing for me. As expected.

24 years of applying in Utah and I didn’t know I could draw a limited entry tag and a general deer tag in the same year….idiot

Hopefully someone jumps in and explains multiplying by 10 is all wrong.

"you can take that to the bank".....

Nothing for me. A friend drew the roadless book cliffs bison though, after 3 decades of trying

Nothing for me. Good friend drew a muzzy elk that will be a blast.

Damn sir, nice haul.
I have a buddy here in Durango with no less than a sheep and goat tag this year! Talk about OIL. I will be helping with those.
But, I will also be traveling back and forth during the general buck season (archery) for the La Sals, same season dates. If you need help and DIY, PM me.

I can’t even get a USuck Utah email. They make me look the hard way.

To everyone who drew this year, you are welcome! I am one of the many who bowed out this year.

Utah still has amazing animals and is definitely still worth pursuing but thankfully we have enough opportunity these days with the kids hunting. It's hard for me as I sit in my house and see Utah less than a mile away. Also, the elk tag there is now almost as much as the moose I just drew in Idaho.

Congrats to everyone who drew!
