$17 Million for Utah Wildlife
 Since 1997, Conservation Permits have allowed more than $17 Million to enhance wildlife habitat, transplant and start new flocks and herds, and other on-the-ground activities. The Utah Conservation Permit program has contributed greatly to Utah's dramatic increase in both quantity and quality of elk, moose, bighorn, bison, antelope, mule deer, goats, and wild turkey. 100% of your purchase price of a Conservation Permit voucher goes into wildlife conservation. While some initially thought this was taking 5% of the permits away from sportsmen in the normal state public draw, hunting opportunity has dramatically increased in the state of Utah, and these permits have played a large roll in increasing habitat, thus increasing herds and flocks of game. In a recent survey, 75% of Utah sportsmen supported this program. The organizations involved in marketing these permits include Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife, National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF), Mule Deer Foundation (MDF), Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) and Safari Club International (SCI). http://www.sfwsfh.org/documents/Conservation_Permit_Funds.pdf
