SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Applications are opening for Utah's 2026 sportsman hunting permits. Only one permit per species is given out each season, making them difficult to obtain.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) announced that applications for the sportsman hunting permits will be opening at 8 a.m. on October 28. Applications will be open until Tuesday, November 18 at 11 p.m.
