SALT LAKE CITY — State wildlife officials announced last week a handful of proposed waterfowl hunting changes that align with a new law that went into effect this month and results from a recent hunting survey.
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials say the proposed changes, which were first announced Wednesday, could help reduce crowding at state-owned waterfowl management areas and improve the hunting experience.
The changes proposed are:
Banning guided hunting at all DWR waterfowl management areas
Creating a permit process to allow guides to use waterfowl management areas to access non-DWR lands for guided hunting
Banning the construction of new permanent blinds on DWR wildlife management areas
