Carry all licenses and permits on one mobile
device
Utah.Gov, a leader in mobile and online technology, in
partnership with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR),
recently launched a free Hunting and Fishing iPhone and Android
app. The application gives Utah’s outdoor enthusiasts the best
information available on their mobile phones and helps them get the
most out of their outdoor adventures. The application is Utah’s
mobile resource for wildlife events, licenses, permits, and
communicating with the DWR for outdoor enthusiasts.
Greg Sheehan, director of the Division of Wildlife Resources,
says the free app allows hunters, anglers and wildlife watchers to
blend their outdoor adventures and the latest technology together.
“The app makes it easier to obtain and display hunting and fishing
licenses,” Sheehan says. “It provides users with quick access to
information that will help them in the field. We encourage you to
download it, and give it a try.”
The Utah DWR surveyed the current technology and looked for ways
to provide a leading-edge solution that would enhance the outdoor
experience for hunters and anglers. The Division developed the
application to help the public easily find hunting locations, even
in remote areas where they may not have mobile service. One great
feature is the ability to store and display hunting and fishing
licenses right from a mobile device. In fact, licenses for a whole
family or group can all be stored on one smart phone.
One note: if you’re hunting a wildlife species that requires you
to place a paper tag on an animal after taking it, you must carry
the tag with you and attach it to the animal after harvesting
it.
Hunters and anglers can download all current valid licenses and
new licenses to their mobile device and display them for game
wardens. In addition they can:
- Find public hunting lands
- View Walk-In Access properties
- Report poachers
- Check shooting hours
- Identify wildlife, waterfowl, and fish
species found in Utah
You can download the app for free on iTunes and Google Play.
