SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is alarmed about the numbers of poached animals they have found since the end of summer and beginning of fall.
Division of Wildlife Resources officer Lt. Chad Bettridge is asking the public and hunters to be vigilant report poaching and other violations when they see it.
From Aug. 1 to Sept. 23 conservation officers had contacted roughly 13,700 individuals and inspected the hunting licenses of 4,347 people. Officers found 319 animals killed illegally including fish, furbearing species and waterfowl. They also found 39 big game animals that had been poached.
