We're having issues with the YouTube feed, and we're working to get it back online. The meeting has paused until we can get it fixed. Thanks for your patience!

Ha! I wish I knew the future. But where would the fun be in that? We'll all have to go down that road together tomorrow.

Thanks for the question, elkhunterUT. We have a dedicated, full-time professional who covers our main social media channels (and has for the past couple of years). She sees many of the same types of comments and questions that are posted here. For both consistency and efficiency, it makes sense...

I'm sure this is already on the radar for many of you, but the board is meeting tomorrow, and there's a pretty full agenda. Topics will include mandatory harvest reporting, the proposed research study in southern Utah, possible technology amendments (muzzleloaders and archery equipment)...

Thanks for the question, SureShot. Yes, Wade Heaton submitted a resignation letter, stating that he was too busy to continue serving on the board. Because we are within six months of the last Wildlife Board recruitment period, the governor can pick someone from that pool of candidates to fill...

Here are the links to the RAC agenda and the presentations/online feedback portal. (The full RAC packet will be posted later today.) I also wanted to drop in a reminder that the 2024 big game season dates passed last year. You can find the hunt tables for those in the November 2022 RAC packet...

The Utah Wildlife Board is meeting tomorrow (Thursday, Sept. 21) at 9 a.m., and there's a mix of items on the agenda, including some related to fishing and some related to the Conservation Permit Program. The meeting will be held at the Eccles Wildlife Education Center, located at 1157 South...

Nah, just got pulled into some projects and couldn't get the post up until later.

Tomorrow's board meeting will include discussions about multiple species, including big game, upland game, waterfowl, swans, cougars and even desert tortoises. For those who are interested, here's the meeting agenda. And here's the feedback that board members have received from the public prior...

Just wanted to drop a quick reminder about tomorrow's Wildlife Board meeting. It starts at 9 a.m., and there's a lot on the agenda, including the 2023 permit numbers for the big game and antlerless seasons. For those who want to dig into details, here's the 427 pages of online feedback the board...

Thanks from me too, elkhunterUT! I just came over to post about that and you had it covered!

The Utah Wildlife Board is meeting tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 1) at 9 a.m., and there's a lot on the agenda, including proposed changes to the statewide elk management plan and the recommended big game hunts and season dates for 2023-24. If you're interested, you can watch the meeting online or...
