Hunting outfitters and guides in Utah: coming soon
No outfitters or guides are listed in Utah yet. Listings are added only after a person confirms the license or permit with the agency that issues it.
Be the first listed in Utah
Sun Up Hunts is launching. We list a hunting outfitter or guide only after checking its license or permit with the issuing agency, so this page stays out of search results until Utah has at least 2 verified listings to compare. If you run an outfit in Utah, you can ask to be listed for free; there is also an optional upgraded listing, always labelled Sponsored, that is free for life for the first Founding outfitters.
What you can hunt in Utah
Looking for hunting outfitters in Utah? Start with what the state allows. Below are the game species the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources lists hunting seasons for, grouped by type, from guided mule deer hunts in Utah to elk and black bear hunts. Species tagged "Draw/permit only" are allocated through a draw, lottery or limited permit rather than an over-the-counter license.

Seasons, draws and regulations change every year and can differ by unit or zone. Confirm seasons and regulations with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources before you plan or book a hunt. This list is a starting point, not legal advice.
Outfitter and guide licensing in Utah
Not confirmed
Not confirmed. We have not yet researched outfitter and guide licensing for Utah, so we state no requirement. The authority on licensing, seasons and draws is Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
State wildlife agency: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (link checked October 23, 2026). Utah rules change: check with the agency before booking a hunt or operating as a guide.
Before you book any Utah hunt
- Ask for the outfitter's license, registration or permit number and confirm it with the agency before you pay a deposit.
- Get the hunt terms in a written contract: dates, guide-to-hunter ratio, services, what is and is not included, and the refund and cancellation terms.
- Ask which land the hunt is on (private, public, or both) and what permit or access arrangement covers it.
- Ask for recent client references you can phone, and what happens to your meat and trophy.
- Check the state's own hunter-license, tag, draw and hunter-education requirements well ahead of the application dates.
- Ask what happens if conditions or game numbers are poor: no outfitter can guarantee a harvest, and we do not list any that promise one.
Draws and lotteries: Utah draw and application deadlines, with a link to the agency's own page.

Frequently asked questions
Are there outfitters listed in Utah yet?
Not yet. Sun Up Hunts is launching, and an outfitter or guide is added only after a person confirms its license or permit with the agency that issues it. When Utah has enough verified listings this page becomes a full comparison.
Who is the authority on hunting in Utah?
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources sets seasons, licenses and rules. Confirm every requirement with the agency before you book or pay a deposit.
I run an outfit in Utah. How do I get listed?
Send a request through the contact form with the topic "Claim or add a listing". A free basic listing and the optional upgraded listing (free for life for the first 25 Founding outfitters) both go through the same license check. Founding outfitters pay nothing.
