Authorities have charged bear-hunting guide Wade Lemon with illegal baiting during a 2018 trip with Donald Trump Jr. in Carbon County. Today on the news, we speak with an official at Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources about the enforcement situation in bear country. Plus, the Interior Department will commit $33 million to plug orphaned oil and gas wells on public lands, including here in Moab. And, as the nation reels after the second deadliest school shooting in Texas this week, survivors of another horrific school shooting in our region speak out.
