There are plenty of places to hunt on public land. I do not know how easy it is to get a permit where you are, here it can difficult. Many hunts you have draw out of, like a lottery. I live in one of the prime hunting areas, near Enterprise, 45 miles west of St. George. DH and I both failed to draw last year

. Hunting is a huge family affair here. There are shooting clubs, I'll have to ask a gal at work, her husband and son dress up and participate in shoots in Cedar City. I do not know what St. George has. I know in Mesquite there is
Mesquite, Nevada Golf Resort | Virgin River & Casino.
There is a family out here that hunts lions, I see turkeys, antelope and deer all the time in my "nieghborhood".
