Utah has allowed permitless concealed carry since 2021 for adults 21 and older who can legally own a firearm. The optional Utah concealed firearm permit is issued by the Bureau of Criminal Identification within the Department of Public Safety, and a provisional permit is available from age 18. Many residents keep a permit for carry in other states and on some school grounds. Secure areas and posted locations remain off limits.
Utah's 2026 general-season buck deer hunts are archery starting August 15, muzzleloader from September 23 to October 1, and any legal weapon from October 17 to 25.

Rifles, muzzleloaders and archery gear are legal on the right hunt. Report your harvest within 30 days of the season.
