I've had mine in for a while. Not a lotta points but hey someone gonna win right?
Half the tags are given in a random draw. Last year one person drew with 0 points & 5 hunters drew with only 2 points. :bash:
Good Luck. Apply apply apply! :tup:

i slchose hunts with decent odds so there is always a glance. :tup:I've had mine in for a while. Not a lotta points but hey someone gonna win right?

Do the points do anything in the random draw? Or just for guaranteed tags for highest point holders?

I think I read somewhere you get one entry per point in the random draw but I am not a 100% sure.
I have 8 points for elk & antelope & also focused on units with higher random draw odds.
Good luck.

First year putting in. Figured better late than never. I do have a question. If I only put in for limited entry deer can I still purchase a leftover general deer tag?

This may help:
Understanding Utah Deer Hunt System:
1: General Season Deer Hunting:
The State is divided into ~30 units: Each Unit for the MOST part has 3 seasons: Archery, Mid-August, MuzzleLoader, Early September, and Rifle, mid to late October:
You have to apply for these tags by March. The odds of drawing are HIGH, most units can be drawn with 1 PREFERENCE POINTS, but some will require 2-3 points.
You are NOT guaranteed a tag if you get a certain number of points.
Pick a unit, put in for 1 of the 3 types of hunts, and enjoy hunting. Points do accumulate, and you will eventually, sooner than later draw. You can put in by yourself or in a group.
2: Limited Entry Deer Hunting:
Utah has some of the VERY best Mule Deer Hunting in the LE units. These tags are HARD to get, and will take years of applying.
Most of the units also have all 3 types of hunts: Archery, MuzzleLoader, and Rifle. Some of the best knows Utah LE Deer Hunts are: Henrys, Book Cliffs, Paunsaguant. There are several more.
This is a SEPARATE draw system, and you must put in for a LE tag, or point to accumulate points, or to hunt these units. Keep in mind most units will take at least 10 points to draw, and some will take 20+ points.
You can put in for the draw, or just buy points. This also must be done by March.
Summary:
There are 2 Deer Draw systems in Utah. 1 for General Season deer hunts, and 1 for the LE very high quality deer units.
You must apply for both to build points in both.
General Season units are easier to draw.
LE Units are very hard to draw and will take many years.
Good luck, and happy Hunting.

Changed my plans at the last minute before applying, I applied for Boulder rifle, actually had 16 elk points, still not enough points for that unit, my odds are only about .9%, but I'm probably going to be busy this fall anyway.
16 points and still less than 1% odds.....that's crazy !

There are units I could draw, but decided to hold out for a big bull unit.

Unfortunately a few years I applied my hunters and forgot to apply myself or I would have 19 or 20 points. :bash:

I can understand not drawing LE Archery Buck Deer.
but can't even draw non-resident General archery deer tag!! :bash:
not being able to do any UT general archery deer hunting 3 years in a row is ridiculous.
>>>>can't even imagine trying to draw a rifle tag<<<<
sure glad WA State is not a draw to hunt only for general season hunts.

Last year there was only 1 general archery tag you couldn't draw in the entire state with 2pts. I wouldn't think it would be much different this year.
