This card is your permit to enter to hunt. The card provides the Permit Holder’s name, permit number, the location to which access is granted, the vehicle license plate number(s), and the Permit Card issue date and expiry date.
This card identifies you to UTRCA officers as having permission to enter the specified UTRCA land to hunt. The Vehicle Identification Card is to be placed in the dash of the vehicle, and displays the Permit Card number and expiry date.
The numbered identifier tag is to be attached securely to your portable tree stand or blind and will identify permitted hunting equipment to UTRCA officers. Each permitted hunter will receive one (1) Tree Stand / Blind Identifier Tag and, with good reasoning, may be provided with an additional Tree Stand / Blind Identifier Tag (total of 2 Identifier Tags for each hunter).
The above documents may be sent via paper mail upon request.
