'Spot Pot, Get A Lot' program gives tipsters $$


Utah hunters are being asked to keep their eye out for a different type of wildlife than what they're used to: marijuana plants.

Hikers, hunters, 4-wheelers and other outdoor enthusiasts have been successful in spotting entire groves of the illegal plants in Wasatch Front canyons. Thousands of plants worth millions of dollars have only been found with help from citizens, Townsend said. "When you pluck up 9,000 plants in the canyons, it leads you to believe there's more than we're aware of," he said.
