ST. GEORGE State wildlife conservation officers typically deal with all sorts of hunting and fishing wildlife investigations, but they are now trying to solve who last month stole equipment used to keep wildlife hydrated in Washington County.
The incident happened in March in the area of Utah Hill, according to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. It s located between St. George and the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area in the southwest corner of the state.
The unknown thief made off with a metal apron of what the division calls water guzzlers, which collect rain and snow from passing storms so that wildlife have access to water to survive in one of the driest states in the country.
