Resident and nonresident applicants are drawn against separate permit quotas, so each hunt appears once per pool with that pool's own applicants, permits and point curve. First-choice applications only; youth general-deer rows are not included. Source: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources draw and harvest reports.
