Buck deer permits that were not taken earlier in this year’s big game draw go on sale June 12, officials from the state Division of Wildlife Services announced.

More than 9,300 northern region rifle and muzzleloader permits, and 6,600 statewide general archery permits are still available, DWR officials said.

Bull elk permits to hunt during Utah’s general season also go on sale June 12.

Permits will be available for sale beginning at 8 a.m. at the DWR website, www.wildlife.utah.gov, and from DWR offices and more than 350 hunting license agents across Utah.

“The morning of June 12 will probably be a busy morning on our website,” said Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR. “Once the site reaches the maximum number of people it can serve, a message will pop up indicating the site has reached its full capacity. If that happens to you, try buying your permit later in the morning or in the afternoon. You can probably even buy it later that week.”

Buck deer permits to hunt during Utah’s general archery hunt were the first permits to sell out in 2007, according to the DWR. Those permits were sold out by July 23, a month before the 2007 archery season began.

Northern region rifle and muzzleloader permits were sold out on Aug. 21, about one month before the start of the muzzleloader hunt and two months before the start of the rifle hunt.

General bull elk permits sold out on Oct. 3. The general bull elk hunt started last year Oct. 6.

For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at 801-538-4700.
