“My life experiences growing up on a cattle ranch in Power County, a real estate broker/appraiser, outfitter/big game guide, attorney, judge, and mediator will be beneficial working with the wide spectrum of issues and people coming before the board,” Meyers wrote in applying for the position. “Those varied professions have given me significant insight into how to resolve issues as they are presented.”

 

“I’m grateful to Greg and Jerry and to all those who applied for these two positions,” Governor Otter said. “We’re fortunate to have citizens with the civic virtue to step up and accept the challenge of developing public policy in such an important and sensitive field, and I’m confident that our unsurpassed wildlife resources are in good hands with these additions to the Fish and Game Commission.”

The two men fill vacancies left by the expired terms of Mark Doerr of Kimberly and Will Naillon of Challis, respectively.
