The Division of Wildlife Resources welcomed public input during Thursday’s Regional Advisory Council meeting in Vernal on Thursday. Among the items on the agenda were proposed changes to this year’s pheasant hunts. The DWR is recommending that there be just one general pheasant hunt that would start the first Saturday of November and end on the first Sunday of December. The hunt would be open on both public and private land while in the past, the chance to hunt for 30 days was only available on public land. The hunt on private land ended after just 14 days. Input gathered from RAC meetings around the state will be shared during the Utah Wildlife Board meeting in Salt Lake on June 1st where decisions can be made. For more information, visit
