A former member of the Utah Wildlife Board who resigned in 2023 is under investigation by the state for allegations that he and others unlawfully baited big game on a ranch he operates in southern Utah.⁠

Few people thought much of it when a member of the Utah Wildlife Board resigned in October, citing a lack of free time to continue serving in the position. Now, new information obtained by a reporter with the Utah Investigative Journalism Project sheds new light on Wade Heaton’s resignation. This includes a 62-page report from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources that names Heaton as a suspect in the state’s investigation into alleged baiting violations on the Heaton Ranch in Kane County — the same property where he operates Color Country Outfitters.⁠
