Main concentrations are found within urban areas along the Wasatch Front, east into the Uintah Basin, and southeast into the Carbon and Emery county areas. If hunting adjacent to urban areas, hunters should contact local authorities to determine regulations governing the discharge of firearms. California quail populations appear to be up this year. Recent and ongoing transplants of California quail from the Wasatch Front to suitable habitats in outlying areas are responsible for quail being seen by hunters in new areas. Duchesne, Uintah, Iron, Sevier and Emery counties are traditionally the best areas to hunt. Northern Region: Urban populations.

Forests interspersed with aspen and alder are home to snowshoe hares. When snow falls, hares turn completely white except for their eyes, which remain coal black. Look for movement at the base of trees and shrubs to locate hares when snow has covered the ground. Hare populations are up throughout much of their range in Utah. Hunter pressure is very light.

At this point, nobody seems to know for sure. But the expected cost to fix the problem is staggering. The Gartner Group, an independent technology research firm, estimates the global price tag for fixing Y2K will be in the $300 billion to $600 billion range. Obviously, with numbers that big, the prospect for lawsuits over who knew what and when, seems likely. Ahead, dont necessarily look to the government for relief, either. There is talk that Capitol Hill may consider a bill that would restrict most Year 2000 disputes to contract actions if defendants met certain goals for avoiding Y2K failures.
