SALT LAKE CITY The board that makes the final decisions on wildlife activities such as hunting and fishing, as well as how wildlife are managed, is seeking two people to replace a pair of outgoing members.
The seven-member Utah Wildlife Board will lose its chair, Byron Bateman, and Donnie Hunter. Their six-year appointment will run out on Aug. 1. The two have served the northern and southern regions respectively since 2015.
As a result, the Utah Department of Natural Resources will open up the application process next week. It s up to Gov. Spencer Cox to approve the final appointment of the two new members and the state senate to confirm the appointees, but officials for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources say anyone can apply to serve on the board.
