Some parties were successful, but a high percentage of hunters from this area who year after year have brought in bucks, went deerless this season. Complaints from this area have been, not of the weather, but rather rat-her the lack of deer in the usually us-ually good hunting areas of this section of the state. The Department, nevertheless, said holders of regular big game licenses and tags who have not yet bagged a deer may still go afield through November 3 or later, in all 22 of the areas where extended seasons hunts were set by the Utah Board of Big Game Control.
