Dont lose your hunting and fishing privileges
If you commit a wildlife violation, you could lose the privilege of hunting and fishing in Utah.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources can suspend the license of
anyone who knowingly, intentionally or recklessly violates wildlife
laws. Your license can be suspended for a wildlife violation if:
You are convicted.
You plead guilty or no contest.
You enter a plea in abeyance or
diversion agreement.
Suspension proceedings are separate and indepen-
dent from criminal prosecution. The Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources may suspend your license privileges
whether or not the court considers suspension in your
criminal case. You will be notified of any action against
your privilege after criminal proceedings conclude. And
remember, if your license is suspended in Utah, you
may not be permitted to hunt or fish in most other
states. (Visit wildlife.utah.gov/know-the-consequences.html to see a map of participating states.)
Corrections: If errors are found in this guide- against in any program, activity or facility, or
