Utah's mountain goat draw runs on a hybrid bonus-point system across 14 units. Nonresidents make up 10% of the tag allocation here, competing in a dedicated draw with the same deadlines as residents: applications open March 19 and close April 23, with results posted May 31, 2026. Tag fees run $2244 for nonresidents versus $454 for residents, plus a $10 application fee.
