Utah Admin. Code R657-44-8 - Depredation and Nuisance Hunts for Antlerless Deer, Elk, Moose or Doe Pronghorn
(1) When deer,
elk, pronghorn or moose are causing damage to cultivated crops on cleared and
planted land, or livestock forage, fences or irrigation equipment on private
land, or are determined to be nuisance, antlerless or doe hunts not listed in
the guidebook of the Wildlife Board for taking big game may be held. These
hunts occur on short notice, involve small areas, and are limited to only a few
hunters.
(2) Depredation or
nuisance animal hunters shall be selected using:
(a) hunters possessing an antlerless deer,
elk, moose or doe pronghorn permit for that unit;
(b) hunters from the alternate drawing list
for that unit; or
(c) the
depredation hunter pool pursuant to Section
R657-44-9.
(3) The division may contact hunters to
participate in a depredation or nuisance hunt prior to the general or limited
entry hunt for a given species of big game. Hunters who do not possess an
antlerless deer, elk, moose or doe pronghorn permit shall purchase an
appropriate permit.
(4) Hunters
with depredation or nuisance hunt permits for antlerless deer, elk, or moose
may not possess any other permit for those species, except as provided in the
guidebook of the Wildlife Board for taking big game and Rule R657-5.
