Utah has allowed permitless concealed carry since May 2021 for adults 21 and over who are not prohibited, and open carry of an unloaded firearm is lawful. The concealed firearm permit, including a provisional permit for 18 to 20-year-olds, is still issued by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and is honoured by many states. Courthouses, secure areas and posted churches remain off limits.
Utah's general-season buck deer hunt is drawn by unit, with the any-weapon season running about nine days in late October and archery and muzzleloader seasons ahead of it. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal in the any-weapon season. Applications close in the spring and leftover permits go on sale in the summer.
Iron County is high desert and the Markagunt Plateau, with drawn buck deer permits for the Southwest Desert and Pine Valley units and an any-weapon season in late October.
Plateau mule deer and elk at altitude make this a flat-shooting rifle town; the Lee Kay and Cache Valley state ranges are far north, so most zeroing happens on BLM ground.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out.
