By species
7 species drawn in Utah.
Only species Utah actually issues limited-entry draw tags for. Species with no draw (general-season, OTC, or not present) aren't listed.
limited-entry
Elk
PendingThe single most-applied-for big-game species in the West. Limited-entry rifle units run hard on points; archery and general seasons often draw easier.
limited-entry
Mule deer
PendingTrophy mule deer units are some of the hardest tags to draw in North America. Quality units routinely require double-digit points.
limited-entry
Pronghorn antelope
PendingWyoming and Montana drive the West antelope draw. Doe/fawn tags often draw with zero points; trophy buck units climb.
once-in-a-lifetime
Bighorn sheep
PendingOnce-in-a-lifetime tag in nearly every Western state. Point creep is severe — many units now require 15+ points or are effectively random-draw lotteries.
once-in-a-lifetime
Mountain goat
PendingOnce-in-a-lifetime tag in most states. Tag pools tiny — typically single-digit allocations per unit. Hardest big-game tag to draw in much of the West.
once-in-a-lifetime
Moose
PendingLimited to a handful of Western states (WY, ID, MT, UT, CO, WA, AK). Often once-in-a-lifetime. Point creep extreme in lower-48 states.
limited-entry
Black bear
PendingMany states sell over-the-counter; the draw odds story applies to limited-entry spring hunts and quota units. Generally easier draws than ungulates.

Expected: After the Utah F&W publishes May–June draw recap.
The scraper for this source runs after the state F&W posts results. Until then, this page documents the system but does not show numbers we haven't verified.
