Sandhill Crane applications available by July 1

Salt Lake City — Applications to hunt sandhill cranes in three northern Utah counties and Uintah County this fall will be available by July 1.

Hunters who applied for a sandhill crane permit during any of the past four years should receive an application in the mail by July 1. Beginning July 1, applications also will be available from hunting and fishing license agents statewide, the Division of Wildlife Resources' Internet Web site (wildlife.utah.gov) and DWR offices and hunter education centers.

Applications must be received no later than 5 p.m. on July 14 to be entered in the draw for permits.

Hunters who have a major credit card are encouraged to apply for a permit at the DWR's Internet Web site. Hunters who don't have a major credit card must mail their application in. It will take a few days for their application to arrive in the mail and they're encouraged to mail it as far in advance of the July 14 deadline as possible, said Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR.

"To assure it's received on time, those who wait until a few days before the deadline to send their application in should consider using an overnight mailing service," Tutorow said.

Draw results will be posted by Aug. 6.

Hunts will be held in Uintah County, Cache County, Rich County and the eastern portion of Box Elder County. A total of 39 permits will be available for the Cache County hunt, 12 for Rich County, 24 for eastern Box Elder County and 18 for Uintah County.

The hunts in Cache, Rich and eastern Box Elder counties will run Sept. 6–14. The hunt in Uintah County will run Sept. 27 – Oct. 5.
