The week of January 13 – 17, 2025 the Wildlife Division will be conducting its annual aerial big game survey across the Southern Ute Reservation. If you are out in the field during the week you can expect to see a helicopter flying at low elevation during day light hours across trust lands on both the east and west sides of the reservation. The Wildlife Division conducts this annual census of mule deer, elk and other wildlife to gauge population trends and herd health.
Please contact the Southern Ute Wildlife Division at (970) 563-0130 with any questions about this project.
