The number of bison on the Henry Mountains needs to be reduced.

Is moving more bison from the Henry Mountains to the Book Cliffs the answer? Or should the state offer more hunting permits?

Those are the questions Division of Wildlife Resources biologists will seek input about at two public meetings. The meetings will be held next Monday and Tuesday in Green River and Vernal.
