Utah's wildlife agency proposes restoring ram hunting for 2027 on the Box Elder portion of the Pilot Mountains after the jointly managed herd grew. Utah last issued tags in 2020 while Nevada paused due to few mature rams then offered one in 2026, with suggested dates running September 1 to November 30. Officials further recommend three new and 83 renewed cooperatives totaling 130 units for 2027-2029 with 1994 private and 1265 public permits yearly plus landowner voucher renewals, and public input via website after presentations with in-person speaking at meetings whose comment period began October 21.
