Reservation Hunting Opportunities

Reservation hunts are a unique opportunity to give you another chance to go hunting. There are dozens of reservations across the West that offer hunting opportunities, but it is becoming more difficult to pick up a tag due to high demand. Some reservations offer over-the-counter permits, draw permits, or both. Most reservations require that a native guide accompanies you on the hunt, but there are a few that are an exception and allow you to hunt on your own. We have created tables that provide information on reservations that have tag availability first-come, first-served or a draw process. This list does not currently include reservations that are booked years in advance or have a waiting list.
