Utah Elk Hunting Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hunt elk in Utah?
Booking a guided elk hunt in Utah can cost anywhere from $2,000-$15,000. West Canyon Ranch offers hunting programs throughout that price range.

Can you buy elk tags over the counter in Utah?
Most states distribute tags using a random draw, but others allow hunters to buy elk tags over the counter. Utah offers a select amount of elk tags online, as well as limited phone sales. After the Utah Division of Wildlife lists elk hunting permits online, they do not update the availability numbers to reflect the number of permits sold or still available. This permit process, along with limited availability, makes it difficult to obtain an elk tag. To see available elk hunting permits, visit the online permit sales website.
