Even though rifle and muzzleloader permits are gone, permits to hunt elk with a bow and arrow are still available. There's no limit on the number of general archery elk permits the Division of Wildlife Resources can sell, so there's no problem getting one.

Utah's general archery elk hunt ended across most of the state in early September, but hunts on the state's three extended archery areas will continue into December.

Extended archery areas are located along parts of the Wasatch Front, in parts of the Uintah Basin and in the Sanpete Valley.

More information about the extended archery areas is available on page 29 of the 2008 Utah Big Game Guidebook. The free guidebook is available at wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks.

The guidebook is also available at DWR offices and from hunting license agents across Utah.
