Animals Utah

It is illegal to hunt animals from an airplane.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

As aviation became more common in the mid-20th century, some enterprising hunters realized it was much easier to track and shoot elk or coyotes from the sky. Utah quickly outlawed this practice to maintain the ethics of 'fair chase' and protect wildlife populations from being decimated. Unless you are a government wildlife official doing population control, keep your rifle grounded.
