The Utah Wildlife Board, a panel of seven citizens appointed by former Gov. Mike Leavitt, approver ap-prover vhe plan June 9 after hearing cunments from several people, including representatives of agriculture and conservation groups and citizens representing Utah's five public Regional Advisory Advi-sory Councils. "This plan is an important step in the state of Utah being allowed al-lowed to manage wolves in a way that benefits the state the most," said Kevin Bunnell, mammals mam-mals program coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. Re-sources. Wolves are currently listed on the federal threatened and endangered en-dangered species list. All wolf management is handled by the federal government. This leaves Utah with little say in how wolves are managed in the state. "An important component in getting wolves off the federal list is for states to have regulations that ensure wolves will receive adequate protection if they're taken off the federal list," Bunnell Bun-nell said. "We feel the plan the Wolf Working Group put together to-gether will meet this requirement." While much of the plan can't be implemented until wolves are taken off the federal list, some parts of the plan, such as researching re-searching and monitoring wolves that arrive here, can begin be-gin immediately. Utah's Wolf Management Han will be available for public review at the DWR's Web site (wildlife.utah.gov) beginning Julyl. The plan the board approved includes several amendments brought to the board by an agricultural agri-cultural group which consisted of several groups, including the Utah Farm Bureau and the Utah Wool Growers Association The amendments had already been approved by Utah's five public Regional Advisory Councils. Taking Wolves That Kill or Harass Livestock Once wolves are taken off the federal list, ranchers in Utah will be allowed to kill wolves they find killing or harassing their sheep, cattle or other livestock. Ranchers will not be required to obtain a permit to take wolves that kill or harass their livestock. They also will not be required to use non-lethal methods before killing wolves. While non-lethal methods are not required, many ranchers already employ non-lethal non-lethal methods, such as guard dogs and herders, to protect K - ' 'U0i xk fLt XN y ! I 1 ' I ' Ih N- 1 v !

The DWR or the USDA-WildUfe USDA-WildUfe Services also will respond re-spond to livestock depredation and may remove wolves following follow-ing the confirmation that wolves have killed livestock. Payments for Livestock Loss How to compensate ranchers for the livestock they' lose to wolves, and where the compensation compen-sation money will come from, will be determined by the Utah legislature. The board passed a recommendation recom-mendation to the legislature that livestock owners be compensated compensat-ed 100 percent for all livestock loss that is either confirmed, probably or possibly linked to wolves. The board also passed a recommendation that a system be set up to compensate ranchers ranch-ers for additional animals that may have been lost to wolves but can't be found. Protecting Big Game Populations Popula-tions Board members also directed the DWR to determine ways to deal with wolves if they negatively nega-tively impact a big game population. popula-tion. An example of a negative impact would be a deer, elk and bighorn sheep population not meeting population objectives in the state's management plans. The proposed actions the DWR will draft will be taken to the public for comment at a future fu-ture series of public meetings. ' Utah lias big game management manage-ment plans that set various population popu-lation objectives that the state's deer, elk and bighorn sheep populations pop-ulations must meet. If populations popula-tions aren't meeting those objectives, objec-tives, more cougars and bears may be taken as one way to try and help the big game populations popula-tions recover. Wolves could be added to the list of predators that might be taken to help those populations pop-ulations recover. "Any taking of wolves that are impacting a big game population popu-lation would be done by either the DWR or USDA-Wildlife Services," Ser-vices," Bunnell said. Paying for Wolf Management in Utah Board members also passed a recommendation to the Utah legislature leg-islature that the DWR be provided provid-ed with additional funding to manage wolves and to mitigate for the impacts wolves may have on Utah's wildlife. An example of mitigation might be additional funding given to the DWR if the agency tried to reestablish a bighorn sheep population and the success of the transplant was affected by wolves. The additional funding would allow al-low the agency to try the transplant again.
