Major Deer and Elk Hunting Changes in Utah for 2011

Learn more, answer questionnaire

If you enjoy hunting deer or elk in Utah, you need to take note --
ideas are being floated that could dramatically change when the hunts
are held in 2011.

You can learn about the possible changes -- and let the Division of
Wildlife Resources know what you think about its ideas -- by logging
onto a new Web page.

The page is available at the DWR’s website. The address is
www.go.usa.gov/3v4 .

When you arrive at the page, you’ll find information about the
proposed changes. You’ll also find a brief questionnaire. Answering
the questionnaire will allow biologists to know what you think about the
ideas.

“If you enjoy hunting deer and elk in Utah, you need to visit the
site and let us know what you think,” says Anis Aoude, big game
coordinator for the DWR.

Aoude also encourages you to share your ideas with members of the Utah
Wildlife Board and the state’s Regional Advisory Councils. E-mail
addresses for the board and RAC members are available at
www.wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings .

“The board will decide which ideas to approve when it meets Dec.
2,” Aoude says. “Even though their meeting is a few months away,
right now is the time to let the board and RACs know what you think.”

You can also learn more about the possible changes by listening to an
audio interview with Aoude. The interview is available at
