Big game draw results available by April 30, 2003
Salt Lake City — By April 30, many big game hunters in Utah will be excited after learning they drew a 2003 Utah big game permit in the state's annual big game draws.
Others will be disappointed because they didn't draw. If they want a general buck deer permit, though, their second chance to obtain one may just be starting.
Draw results
Everyone who applied for a 2003 Utah big game permit should receive a letter in the mail by April 30, letting them know if they drew a permit.
Beginning April 30, hunters can also learn their draw status by logging onto the UT DOW webpage ( http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/ ) and following the links provided or by calling the Utah Wildlife Administrative Services office at 1-800-221-0659.
Results of the limited entry, once-in-a-lifetime and Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit permit draw also will be posted at Division of Wildlife Resources offices in Ogden, Salt Lake City, Springville, Vernal, Price and Cedar City; the Lee Kay Center for Hunter Education in Salt Lake City; and the Cache Valley Hunter Education Center in Logan.
Hard copy results of the general buck deer and ML300 elk draw won't be posted. "There will probably be more than 50,000 names on this list," says Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "To keep printing costs down, we've decided not to post a hard copy list. Hunters can still view the list, though, by going to our Internet site."
Permits not taken in the draw
In addition to their draw results letter, applicants also will receive a list of permits not taken in the draw. This list will also be available on the DWR's Internet Web site and at its six offices.
"All of the limited entry, once-in-a-lifetime, ML300 elk and CWMU permits will probably be taken in the draw, but some general buck deer permits may still be available," Tutorow said. "Hunters who haven't obtained a permit can apply for one of these beginning April 30."
Hunters who have an American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit card can apply online at the DWR's Internet Web site (www.wildlife.utah.gov). Hunters who don't have a credit card can apply by mailing an application. Applications can be printed off the Web site or obtained from hunting and fishing license agents, or DWR offices and Hunter Education centers.
The same application form used to apply in the initial draw will be used to apply in the draw for the remaining permits.
To be included in the draw for remaining permits, applications must be received no later than 5 p.m., May 21. Results of the second draw will be posted by June 20.
Those with questions may contact the Utah Wildlife Services Administrative office, their nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.

Hunters with invalid credit cards must return phone call
Salt Lake City — Hunters may receive a phone call from the Division of Wildlife Resources starting April 30, informing them they've drawn a Utah big game permit but the credit card they've provided to pay for the permit is invalid.
If Utah Wildlife Administrative Services, the private contractor that handles hunting draws for the DWR, doesn't reach the hunter with their initial call, they'll make three other attempts within a two-day period, leaving a callback number each time. The hunter must return the phone call within a two-day period, or they'll lose their permit.
"We need to reach the hunter that fast so we'll have time to reissue the permit to another hunter, if the hunter who obtained the permit can't pay for it," said Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "We want to issue all of the permits and give as many people as possible a chance to hunt."
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office, the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700 or Utah Wildlife Administrative Services at 1-800-221-0659.
