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...

As far as I know, none of that has been decided yet. Our biologists just want to have the option of restricted-weapon hunts in the future, if they're needed on specific units. We would take any future proposals for restricted-weapon hunts/units out to the public for feedback. This is just...

Thanks for pointing that out, elkhunterUT. If you look in the RAC packet, which has all of the 2023 proposals, you can see the LE elk muzzleloader dates on pages 99-100. The proposed season dates are Sept. 25–Oct. 6, 2023. I'll follow up with our folks and see if we can get that line added to...

Yeah, we realize that the restricted weapons information was not as clear as it should have been, and we're sorry for any frustration it's caused. We've issued a clarification that will hopefully help: This proposed change would create new definitions for restricted weapons and modify existing...
