Concerns over the management of spotters and guides during big game hunts took center stage at the recent DWR RAC meeting in Utah. A representative highlighted an email from the newly formed Utah Outfitters and Guides Association, expressing their worries about the current regulations.

The discussion centered on the proposal to limit the number of spotters and guides allowed on the mountain per client. Advocates for the change argue that the presence of multiple spotters can lead to confusion and frustration during hunts, impacting the overall experience for both hunters and wildlife.

The sentiment was clear: many believe that regulating the number of guides could enhance the hunting experience and promote better wildlife management. As the conversation continues, stakeholders are eager to see how these proposed changes will unfold and what impact they may have on future hunting seasons in Utah.
