Show Predictions Are Holding Up )RWEST - VALLEY Thursday, Oct. 6, VIEW tainous say. Pheasants are associated with private lands, so hunters should scout areas early and contact landowners or plan to purchase Posted Pheasant Hunting Permits prior to the season, the officials said. Hunters should also be aware of areas where discharge of firearms is illegal, a growing situation in Salt Lake County. The relatively open 1982-8- 3 winter evidently provided good populations of adult birds this spring. Production and populations were difficult to obtain because of persistent spring rains and delayed agricultural activities, but Division of Wildlife Resources preliminary estimates indicated good production and increased populations. Pheasants in The pheasant season is Nov. much of the state. Exceptions are in Box Elder, Cache, Weber and Davis counties where it extends to Nov. 18 and in Duchesne and Uintah, Nov. 5-- 20. Hunter success will be somewhat with a good oetter than last year, Clothing Requirements Listed For Hunters Big game hunters must wear 400 square inches of outer hunter orange clothing on chest and back during all big game rifle seasons, except bighorn sheep. Bowhunters and muzzle-loadeneed not wear hunter orange unless they are hunting on a unit where a concurrent big game rifle hunt is being held. areas of northern Utah report that hunters are finding forest grouse quite scarce. Harvest records indicate that grouse populations have declined heavily the past several years. Harvests were at an e low in 1982. Unusually heavy vegetation growth and wet weather made an accurate count im carryover of last years birds into current populations, DWR officials all-tim- possible. Blue grouse generally make up the majority of the forest grouse hunters bag. Summer studies reported fewer than 20 blue grouse observed per 100 hours of effort -lower than last year. Ruffed grouse were somewhat more abundant and hunters are finding that population slightly ahead of last year. Blue grouse are generally found along d ridges; ruffed grouse prefer areas adjacent to stands of chokecherries or other berries. While hunting dogs are helpful in hunting forest grouse, hunters are being reminded that dogs cannot be used in Parleys, Big and Little Cottonwood canyons because of municipal watershed ordinances.

Elk, antelope, moose, buffalo, bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goat are all hunted here. Wildlife experts say that even though Utah is rich in big game species, their future is not guaranteed. Loss of habitat is the biggest factor influencing big game numbers and range. Lands in Utah, as in many states, are being developed for housing, energy, roads and other purposes. That has an impact on wildlife that only progressive management can relieve. Each fall many elk and moose are killed by hunters who are certain that it was a deer." The Division of Wildlife Resources has tried to overcome the problem by offering rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person who illegally shoots one of those animals. Utah has a limited number of elk and moose and needless waste deprives sportsmen of the opportunity to hunt such animals during the legal season, a DWR spokesman said. The Division also has a program to curtail poaching. There are two ways in which a citizen can report a in the field CB poaching incident channels 14 and 19 can be used to contact the Highway Patrol dispatcher to locate a wildlife law enforcement officer.
