While hunting most upland game species in Utah requires only a combination or small-game license, four of the state's species require a permit.

And the deadline to apply for one of those permits is quickly approaching.

Permits are required to hunt tundra swan, sharp-tailed grouse, greater sage grouse and sandhill cranes. Applications for those four species must be in no later than 11 p.m. on July 20.

To apply, visit http://www.wildlife.utah.gov. For questions, call 800-221-0659 or contact a DWR office.

Permit results will be available by Aug. 7.
