How does Utah's elk draw work?
UDWR uses a weighted-random bonus-point draw.
What size are the black bears in the Pahvant Range?
Pahvant black bears are typical of Utah interior mountain bears — mature males average 150–300 pounds live weight. Exceptional boars in good habitat can exceed 350 pounds. Bears on the Pahvant are not generally as large as those in the more productive habitats of northern Utah, but the unit produces quality hunting experiences.
Is it legal to use dogs to hunt bear in this Utah unit?
Utah allows the use of trained hounds for black bear hunting. Confirm current UDWR regulations for this specific unit and season — some Utah bear units have restrictions on hound use. Dogs dramatically change the hunting method and success rate compared to spot-and-stalk.
Is the Fillmore, Pahvant bear tag a spring or fall hunt?
Utah issues both spring and fall black bear permits for the Pahvant Range. Spring permits target bears emerging from dens in April–May. Fall permits run August through October when bears are actively feeding. The UDWR Application Guidebook details which season types are available for this unit in the current year.
