Late season brood counts indicate in-dicate there will be about the same number of birds as a year ago, though less than during the 1958 season when the pheasant cycle was at a i peak. In Springville, the West Field hunting unit, which comprises com-prises the area west of the city, is offering hunting per-; per-; mits as in the past years. Funds from the sale of these permits go toward recreation programs in the Springville area, and is directed by Bill Ruff, chamber of commerce, with a committee made up of a representative from various civic clubs. Tickets for the hunt can be purchased at Art City Bowling, Averett-Rowland Barber Shop, Wright Planing Mill or Ruff's Garage. The department reminded all hunters to respect the rights of the private landholder where practically all pheasant hunting hunt-ing takes place. The law, as written on each fish and game license, decres that it is illegal ille-gal to trespass upon private property at any time without the express permission of the landholder or person in charge of such lands. Work on the State Triangle Committee during th past four years has done much to better bet-ter these problems of trespass. The committee functions on state, county and local level in an effort to better the problems prob-lems of private land use for hunting and at the same time project an equitable harvest of the game resources produced upon these lands. On each level of operation the committee is composed of representatives from the organized or-ganized landholders, organized sportsmen and department per-sonel. per-sonel.
