Many people are concerned about CWD impacts on Utah's wildlife, if and how it can be transmitted to humans, and want to know more about what the DWR is doing to control CWD.
Whether you have never hunted at all, or are an experienced rifle hunter looking for earlier season hunting opportunities, learning the unique skill set of muzzleloader hunting can be a fun and rewarding challenge.
What is a species? It seems like a straightforward question, right? Unfortunately, defining what makes a group of animals a distinct species is actually far more complicated than it would appear on the outside. Sometimes, new information requires us to reconsider what we know about species.
As our cities and suburbs expand into previously undeveloped areas, our structures, roads and other barriers — including fences — can act as an unintentional but often fatal restriction for many wildlife species.
Since finding a hidden population of native Bonneville cutthroat trout, the DWR and conservation partners have implemented stream, wetland, and riparian habitat restoration and enhancements in Niotche Creek.
Catfish are fun to catch and make for a delicious meal. But they need a few extra steps — and a couple of inexpensive specialized tools — to get them from the lake to your plate. Here's a step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your catch.
Spring is the perfect time to organize your fishing gear, refill your tackle and fly boxes, and plan for a fun excursion on Utah's scenic waters. Fishing really amps up with the melting ice, but visitor usage usually doesn't pick up until Memorial Day weekend. So if you enjoy the opportunity to catch fish and need to get away from the ratrace, Utah definitely has fishing opportunities for you.
I enjoy my time studying each species I work with, but none have challenged me quite like cougars. Every time we learn something new about cougar behavior or ecology, it only generates more questions about this species.
As a fishery manager, I'm always thinking of ways that I can make fishing better for Utah's anglers. One of my areas of interest over the past few years has been what we as anglers can do to help the survival rates of panfish caught and then released in deep water.
