Utah Bonus Point Changes
Changes to the Utah bonus point program
———————————–
In 2009, the Utah Wildlife Board approved some critical changes to the state’s bonus point program:
If you do not apply for a limited-entry or once-in-a-lifetime permit or a bonus point at least once in a consecutive three-year period, you will lose any bonus points you’ve accrued. Because 2009 is the first year of the three-year timeframe, point loss will not begin until after the 2011 hunt drawing.
If you are a nonresident, you may apply for permits or bonus points for all limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime species. (However, you may draw only one permit per year.) For more information, please see page 19 [of the proclamation].
If you surrender a permit obtained through a group application, you will not have your bonus points reinstated unless all group members surrender their permits more than 30 days before the season begins. For more information, please see page 21 [of the proclamation].
