2010 Utah Pheasant Hunting Forecast
Sep. 13, 2010Forecast: It's a rosy outlook for pheasant hunters in Utah this year, according to Dave Olsen, upland game coordinator with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. That means the state's 17,000 pheasant hunters should surpass the 35,000 roosters bagged in 2009. The southern half of Utah did endure a hard winter and wet spring, but the northern half of the state is where the premiere pheasant hunting is found. Olsen says the state's wildlife management areas are real gems, so upland hunters should look to put the boots down there. Season Dates: November 6-21, 2010 (extended in some counties, see regulations) Daily Bag Limit: 2 Possession Limit: 2 Field Notes: Utah has a three-year old Walk-in-Access program providing opportunities for sportsmen and incentives for landowners. In fact, interested landowners are needed to expand the program in the south and southeast regions of the state.
If you've ever thought about hunting quail in Utah, this fall might be the time to give it a try.
