Outdoor notes

Permits purchased before Dec. 31 are $70 and increase to $75 beginning Jan. 1. Utah residents 62 years and older may purchase a Senior Adventure Pass for $35, which offers the same benefits.
Passes allow the cardholder and up to seven guests in the same vehicle and day-use access to most state parks, with the exceptions being This Is The Place Heritage Park and the Davis County Causeway fee at Antelope Island State Park.
The pass does not cover overnight camping or golf fees.
They can be purchased at any state park, region office, online at www.stateparks.utah.gov and the Department of Natural Resources, 1594 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City. For more information call 801-538-7220 or 877-UT-PARKS.

The center will return to normal hours on Jan. 2.
DEDICATED HUNTER PROGRAM
On Jan. 2, those interested in applying to Utah's Dedicated Hunter program can start submitting applications.
The program allows for a cap of 10,000 hunters. At this time, there are only about 3,000 spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those joining the program can hunt all three general deer hunting seasons archery, rifle and muzzleloader in the region of their choice. In return, they must pay a program fee and spend time helping on wildlife conservation projects.
To join the three-year program, hunters must complete an online wildlife conservation course and submit your application online. The DWR is not accepting mailed-in paper applications this year.
For information visit www.wildlife.utah.gov/dh or call 801-538-4700.
