Utah Big Game apps are due 1/31/02 which means mail might not make it. You can still apply online at http://www.sci-nevada.com/webutapps/
If you do mail in your app, send the apps return receipt so you know Utah got them. Applying online is safer because you get issued a confirmation number and you know they received it. By the time you find out the mailed in apps didn't get there you have no recourse.
Don't Make These Mistakes When Applying For A 2002 Big Game Hunting Permit
Salt Lake City -- It might be winter but many of Utah's big game hunters are already looking forward to this fall and the time they'll spend enjoying Utah's backcountry while hunting their favorite big game animal.
Hunting permit applications for this fall's hunts will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Jan. 31 and Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, is hoping hunters will do everything possible to complete their application correctly and to get it in on time.
Tutorow says applying on the Internet is the best thing a hunter can do to assure their application is included in the draw for permits. Those who have an American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit card can apply for a Utah big game hunting permit by logging onto the Division's Internet Web site (www.wildlife.utah.gov). Once on the site, hunters can apply by clicking on the Big Game Permit Apply Online icon on the right side of the home page.
"Applying on the Internet allows hunters to get their application in within minutes and eliminates the chance that it will be lost in the mail," Tutorow said. "It also cuts down on the possibility of making a mistake because the program will let you know if you entered something incorrectly or forgot to include some information."
Hunters who don't apply on the Internet should mail their application as soon as possible, so it has plenty of time to arrive by the 5 p.m., Jan. 31 due date.
Tutorow also encourages hunters to take their time when completing their application; to review pages 8 and 9 of the 2002 Utah Big Game Proclamation; and to call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office, or the Utah Wildlife Administrative Services office at 1-800-221-0659, if they have questions or need assistance.
The following were the most common mistakes made by hunters applying last year:
* Late Application - applications are due no later than 5 p.m. on Jan. 31. Use the Internet or mail your application as soon as possible.
* Credit Card Not Processed - credit cards must be valid through at least May 2002 to be accepted as payment. Credit card numbers are long. Take your time and make sure you write the number correctly on your application.
* Multiple Applications - you may send in only one application for general buck deer and ML300 elk, and one application for premium limited entry, limited entry, CWMU and once-in-a-lifetime hunts.
* Multiple Species - when applying for a limited entry hunt, you may only apply for one species. For example, if you apply for a deer permit, you may not apply for an elk or pronghorn permit.
* Money Short - look closely at the fees on the application and make sure you're including enough money for the hunt you're applying for.
If you do mail in your app, send the apps return receipt so you know Utah got them. Applying online is safer because you get issued a confirmation number and you know they received it. By the time you find out the mailed in apps didn't get there you have no recourse.
