The change would return the cougar trapping law to the legal standard that existed prior to 2023 and HB469\u2019s passage. <\/p>\n<p>The DWR found that among hundreds of cougars \u201ctaken\u201d \u2014 the euphemism for killing \u2014 every year, the annual average of those killed with lethal snares was seven. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith that and the continuing concern from constituents and the general public of having snares out there for cougars, (we) just thought it just wasn\u2019t worth continuing,\u201d said Chad Wilson, the game mammals coordinator for Utah\u2019s Division of Wildlife Resources, at the Central Region\u2019s regional advisory council meeting (RAC) May 12. \u201cSo, that led us to the recommendation that we have today, which is to not allow lethal trapping of cougars on public land.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The response from all areas of the public was ardent, even showcasing some differences among various kinds of hunters. Yet, amid the cacophony of those disparate responses and despite the recommendations of its wildlife managers, the Wildlife Board of Utah\u2019s Division of Natural Resources \u201cunanimously rejected the proposed change to trapping rules during Thursday\u2019s meeting.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s legal to hunt cougars all year? <\/h3>\n<p>Utah opened season on cougars in 2023 by allowing anyone with a hunting license to kill the big cats year round. In addition, the law allowed the use of lethal snares, which has previously been illegal to use on public lands. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had been seeing a number of additional cases of mountain-lion-to-pet interaction, mountain-lion-to-livestock interaction, and quite honestly, mountain lions and neighborhood interaction,\u201d said Utah state Sen. Scott Sandall, R-Tremonton, last November. \u201cWe know that our population was increasing on mountain lions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson added some context, too, that prior to passage of HB469 getting passed, the DWR and the legislature struggled to find pathways to allow for more cougar hunting to address those concerns. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrior to that, the division attempted many times to increase cougar permits through the public process and we didn\u2019t have a whole lot of luck doing so,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cWith that, frustrations built among a lot of people. Those frustrations led up to the Legislature deciding to take action with (HB469).\u201d <\/p>\n<p>After it was passed, Wilson said that many groups and people reached out asking that trapping \u2014 specifically lethal trapping \u2014 not be allowed for harvesting cougars. Despite those concerns, the Wildlife Board decided to allow all forms of trapping. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe division committed that we would look at this over a three-year period and decide \u2014 after that three years \u2014 if there was anything that could be changed, then we would come back through the RAC and board process and recommend those changes,&#8221; Wilson said. \u201cSo that\u2019s why we\u2019re here today. It\u2019s been three years. We\u2019ve looked at the data.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>How did folks respond to proposed rule? <\/h3>\n<p>The proposal suggestion kicked off a series of passionate meetings showcasing the intense sentiment Utahns have toward the cougar population. <\/p>\n<p>Stakeholders across all five of the state\u2019s regional advisory councils \u2014 trappers, houndsmen, ranchers, wildlife advocates and all the associated advocacy groups \u2014 spoke up at May and June RAC and Wildlife Board meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemoving lethal traps, especially given their relatively small contribution to overall harvest, is a reasonable and practical step towards better protecting wildlife, domestic animals and the recreating public,\u201d said Denise Peterson, the founder and director of Utah Mountain Lion Conservation, at the Central RAC meeting last month. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe adamantly oppose this. It\u2019s not like a little opposition, it\u2019s a strong opposition. This one missed the mark &#8230; . We need every tool in the toolbox. This is a wrong first step in the wrong direction,\u201d said Sierra Nelson, the executive director of the Utah Wool Growers Association, at the June 11 meeting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know people like to say that snares are indiscriminate and they might accidentally get females (cougars), but what about the doe that gets killed by the lion? Are those fawns that get orphaned any less viable?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>There were some comments, too, directed at the overall intent of HB469 and the current \u201cpredatory management study,\u201d the goal of which is to nearly eradicate cougars from six hunting regions to assess the impact of their removal on mule deer populations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis cougar should not be being destroyed like it is. This is a cruel and evil thing to hunt an animal into extinction,\u201d said Carolyn Elswick, who spoke as a member of the general public, at the May Central RAC meeting. \u201cWe\u2019re not stupid \u2014 the public \u2014 as we begin to see this is what\u2019s going on. Many people do not like it because it is wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Why was the proposal rejected? <\/h3>\n<p>Those who opposed the proposal dominated the respective regional RAC meetings as well as the June 11 Wildlife Board meeting and were well-received by the seven members of the Wildlife Board. <\/p>\n<p>The arguments covered many different angles, ranging from constitutional rights \u2014 \u201ctraditional\u201d hunting rights are enshrined in the Utah Constitution \u2014 through the specific mechanisms of different traps and snares. <\/p>\n<p>Several speakers brought up that since trapping of other wildlife remains legal on public lands, the proposed rule would not address the root issue of indiscriminate snares being left out on public, multiple-use lands. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=2035\">Opinion: Why I\u2019m walking 250 miles for America\u2019s semiquincentennial<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another common argument was the potential \u201cunintended consequences\u201d of limiting hunting methods, such as more significant losses of hunting rights that have occurred in other states. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen that now with the scopes on muzzle loaders in some areas with rifles. We\u2019re hurting ourselves when we start limiting things like that,\u201d said Ken Strong, a concerned member of the public. \u201cIt\u2019s important to realize that once we lose something, we don\u2019t get it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many trappers alluded to a wish that they be included in the decision-making as there are less dramatic actions the board could take \u2014 all of which were specific to the kinds of snares and traps allowed \u2014 that might alleviate some concerns. <\/p>\n<p>Among the five regional advisory councils, however, only one \u2014 Central \u2014 voted to adopt the DWR\u2019s proposal. The other four firmly rejected it. <\/p>\n<p>Justin Oliver, who serves on the Utah Wildlife Board, was one of the seven members who unanimously voted against adopting the proposed rule. He said at the June 11 meeting that he received a lot of \u201cvery strong opinions\u201d on the subject from both sides, pointing out that HB469 was the cause of much of the public disdain regarding cougar hunting. <\/p>\n<p>He believes cougars should not be eradicated, but he said that \u2014 even with respect to houndsmens\u2019 genuine concerns that their dogs could be affected \u2014 \u201cI still feel like us banning snares for the use of taking mountain lions would be detrimental to the use of hunting as a management tool in the state of Utah.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>What were the arguments for adopting the new rule? <\/h3>\n<p>Besides noting that the new rule would affect a small percentage of the overall cougar hunting, Wilson also mentioned that there are quite a few citizens in the state who are concerned over the indiscriminate method of hunting being allowed on public lands at all. <\/p>\n<p>At the May Central RAC meeting, Danny Summers, a regional supervisor for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, read data the state gathered about the proposed rule change. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUDWR received a lot of public comment. Seventy-six percent strongly agreed with the proposal to stop public lands trapping, 5% somewhat agreed, 19% strongly disagreed,\u201d Summers said. \u201cProponents argued for restriction of lethal traps on public lands because of public safety concerns for people and pets and ethical concerns about indiscriminate trapping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers represent just one region\u2019s comments, from the only region that voted to adopt the proposal. <\/p>\n<p>Justin Elswick, an attorney with Heideman &amp; Associates, said one subset of the public was disproportionately represented. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vast majority of people here and who have spoken are hunters and trappers,\u201d Elswick said. \u201cI want to say that as as member of the public, I may not hunt or trap, but those of us who are in the public that don\u2019t do that, we do have a right to speak in this state and our interest should be represented not only or exclusively to people who hunt and trap.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He said that in his personal experience following the news and commenting on news stories about cougars, he\u2019s found that there are many who oppose Utah\u2019s hunting laws. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a slippery slope,\u201d Elswick said. \u201cI will tell you the public knows about it and they (don\u2019t) want it as well.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The ethical concern Summers referenced was voiced by another speaker \u2014 also named Elswick, though Deseret News was not able to confirm if there was any relation or connection before publishing \u2014 at the RAC meeting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would ask this group of people and hunters alike to realize to kill off a species like this in cruel manners and leave their young to suffer and starve is \u2014 I don\u2019t care how you phrase it and how flowery you might make it look \u2014 this is an evil thing and man should know better than this,&#8221; Carolyn Elswick said. <\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Once we lose something\u2019 <\/h3>\n<p>Strong\u2019s point about losing hunting rights was one that Justin Elswick thought needed to be seen in another light. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve heard it mentioned that (the new rule is) potentially a slippery slope, but prior to 2023, as we\u2019ve heard stated, (trapping) wasn\u2019t permitted,\u201d he said. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a removal of rights of a certain group of people who want to trap. They didn\u2019t have those rights for many years.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The idea, however, is one mirrored by the wildlife advocates, too. Peterson does not want to get rid of trapping or hunting, she made clear, but she does want cougars to have a place in the ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreasingly, Utahns are asking for management approaches that prioritize coexistence, sustainability and balanced ecosystems,\u201d Peterson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese actions can reduce opportunity for one group of sportsmen in favor of another rather than promoting balanced and equitable management for all of us wildlife stakeholders.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=2033\">Here\u2019s how Utah basketball\u2019s schedule for next season is shaping up<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why does Utah allow year-round cougar hunting?
