The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is recommending an end to hunting trumpeter swans as the swan hunting season has ended prematurely the last 4 years.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah doesn't let hunters harvest that many trumpeter swans every fall; in fact, its quota is actually based on what the federal government allows each year.
"We are hopeful that this change will prevent hunting opportunities from being taken away due to the early-season closures," Jason Jones, migratory game bird program coordinator for the division, said in a statement Wednesday. It also tweaked where trumpeter swans can be harvested. Prior to 2019, about a third of all harvests came at the Bear River Refuge, while another fifth came from the Harold Crane Wildlife Management Area near Willard Bay. Those sites only accounted for about 23% of all harvests over the past four years, while Public Shooting Grounds Wildlife Management Area in Box Elder County, where the species was never harvested before, now accounts for nearly ⅓ of the harvests.
