Utah Wildlife Board Approves Updates for Bison Hunting, other Changes

The Utah Wildlife Board approved some updates for bison hunting and a few other rule changes during a public meeting held Thursday.

Bison hunting changes

The wildlife board approved adjustments to some of the existing bison hunts, as well as the creation of a new cow bison hunt that would be held during the 2026 and 2027 hunting seasons. As part of the hunting season changes, the board also confirmed that the bison archery hunt would continue to be the final hunt of each season, ending on Jan. 31.

“These changes will help us to better manage the herd to the population objective and maintain the bull-cow ratio, which will help address current drought conditions,” Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Northern Region Wildlife Biologist Sam Robertson said. “The updates should also improve hunter distribution and hunt quality, while avoiding changes in bison distribution.”

The changes will be implemented for the 2026 and 2027 hunting seasons. Read more
