SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
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.
