Utah · UplandBand-tailed pigeon

Part of the Interior/Four Corners population per USFWS's 2025 population-status report.Season dates and bag/possession sourced via WebSearch synthesis of UDWR's 2026-27 Waterfowl, Upland Game and Turkey Guidebook and a dated (2026-06-26) UDWR news release -- this session's network egress blocked direct fetch to wildlife.utah.gov, so the figures were not independently verified byte-for-byte against the source PDF (see knowledge-base raw citation for the full caveat). Five independently-phrased searches converged on the same figures, including a specific corroborating permit-release date/time. Statewide: Sept. 1-14, 2026, daily bag 2 / possession 6. HIP registration required; federal duck stamp explicitly not required; a separate free band-tailed pigeon permit also required, available starting July 30, 2026, 8:00 a.m. MDT (regulatory basis cited as Utah Admin. Code R657-9-5, itself not independently confirmed against rules.utah.gov). New backfill record per plan 8 -- Utah previously had no band-tailed-pigeon record. Flagged for re-verification once direct primary-source access is available.
