<O</O
The number of bison on the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

</st1laceName>Henry <st1laceName w:st="on">Mountains</st1laceName> needs to be reduced.

<OIs moving more bison from the <ST1<st1laceName w:st="on">Henry</st1laceName> <st1laceName w:st="on">Mountains</st1laceName></ST1l to the Book Cliffs the answer? Or should the state offer more hunting permits?
<O</O
Those are the questions Division of Wildlife Resources biologists will seek input about at two public meetings. The meetings will be held next Monday and Tuesday in <ST1Green River and Vernal.
