DWR > Beavers: Creators of Habitat Utah's beaver populations have recovered since the days when they were trapped by mountain men. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has drafted a new management plan that outlines how beavers play a role in habitat restoration.
DWR > Tiger Muskies return to Pineview Reservoir and other Utah waters Approximately 10,000 tiger muskies were released back into Pineview Reservoir and other waters throughout the state on July 2, 2009. This is the first time tiger muskies have been stocked in Utah since 2005. A water that's never had tiger muskies in it before--Joe's Valley Reservoir will also receive fish.
DWR > Gila Monsters in Utah On the hunt for gila monsters in southern Utah.
DWR > 1,000 true muskies released in ponds in Salt Lake City One of the largest sport fish in the country will soon be raised right here in Utah. On June 16, a total of 1,000 true muskies from Nebraska were stocked into ponds at the Lee Kay Public Shooting Range in Salt Lake City. They're small now, but in three years, they'll be mature enough to reproduce. When the muskies reach that stage, biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources will take milt from the males. Then they'll use that milt to fertilize eggs from Northern pike. After the eggs are fertilized, Utah will have the first batch of tiger muskies ever produced in the state. More and more anglers are fishing for tiger muskies, says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR. I can see why: they're an impressive fish. When you catch one of these monsters, they put up a big fight.
DWR > Flying giants-rare California condors return to Utah skies California condors are among the largest, rarest birds in North America, and you'll find them soaring over the red-rock cliffs of Southwestern Utah.
DWR > Bird Migrations The where, when, why and how of bird migration is often answered by tracking their movements through banding and collaring. Every spring Utah Division of Wildlife employees and volunteers band thousands of birds in an effort to learn more about them.
DWR > Poachers Caught in Southern Utah Acting on a tip received on the Utah Turn-in-a-Poacher (UTiP) hotline, DWR officers and Garfield County Sheriffs deputies served a search warrant on a home and shed in Panguitch on Saturday, May 23 and Monday, May 25. After serving the warrant, the officers found the heads of eight mule deer bucks, one mule deer doe and two pronghorn bucks. The suspects in the case also admitted taking one more mule deer buck and an additional mule deer doe, making it one of the biggest poaching cases in southern Utah in recent memory.
DWR > Big Game Transplants in Utah Since 1912, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has been rebuilding herds by transplanting 8712 big game animals such as mountain goats, bighorn sheep, moose, pronghorn and recently bison throughout the state
DWR > Snow Geese in Utah One of the first signs of spring is the gathering of snow geese at Gunnison Bend Reservoir near Delta, Utah. Thousands of snow geese stop here as they migrate back to their summer nesting grounds near the Arctic Circle.
