Coot hunting is underrated and overlooked by Utah hunters While most hunters are looking overhead for ducks, they might find better hunting by probing the shallow muddy water among the cattails and bullrushes Coots, which are related to cranes and rails and not ducks, prefer swimming to flying Ive never met a person who didnt like coot, says Division of Wildlife 'Utah Resourced Biologist Fisheries George McLaughlin, who could own practically author his book on coot cookery recipe From the pond to the coot frying pan, this avid hunter is adept at giving tips to coot enthusiasts Any time of day or any type of weather is right for coot hunting during the season, says McLaughlin Coots are so abundant on Utah reservoirs, ponds and marshes that the daily bag limit is 25 birds Sportsmen are simply not utilizing this valuable resource, ac- cording to McLaughlin Last year McLaughlin and 16 other members of a local muzzleloading club enjoyed a huge coot feed after shooting 237 coots at the Fish National Wildlife Springs Refuge Their hunt didnt even make a dent in the population There is an estimated 25,000 coots on Fish Spring Refuge alone Thousands more make their homes on Fish Lake, Strawberry Reservoir and many other throughout the marshes state Hunters must search out coots instead of waiting for the birds to find them, ex plains McLaughlin With their contrasting slate gray bodies and white bills, coots are easy to spot. To properly hunt coots, at least one person should be on each side of the marsh to crowd the birds into the middle of the pone When forced to fly, coots usually run along the water for quite a distance before they are able to take wing Light shot, usually 6, 7, or 8, is best for shooting coot When dressing out this game bird, a hunter should place the coot on the ground, stomp on both feet and pull wings upward The breast, with wings attached, should pull free from the body A similar method may be used for detaching the legs and thighs To avoid a muddy taste in the meat, all fat should be removed from the breast, legs and thighs The remainder of the carcass may be discarded Each coot produces about 5 to 6 ounces of edible meat, says McLaughlin If all the fat is properly cut away, the Sonja Heme, Stella Walsh, and Fanny Blankers Koen. Don Larsens perfect game in the 1956 World Series was chosen as the most dramatic event meat will taste the same regardless of the area of the state in which the bird was shot He adds that coot meat does not have the livery taste sometimes complained of in duck Coots contain more moisture than ducks, so they Frying the meat in bacon grease and salt and pepper is McLaughlins favorite way to prepare coot However, his recipe repertoire ex- do not become as dry when of soup specialities cooking tends to all types of ocHe excels in , with all kinds coot flavoring casions of dicing One is his and browning coot, simmering the meat in a Cheddar cheese soup mixture and then pouring it over rice Diced coot meat browned and rolled in cracker crumbs or corn flakes is also great as hors doeuvres Then theres and coot always coot pie and the list sandwiches goes on Hungry yet9 each enjoying pretty successful seasons The Weber High defense was noted around the state as one of the most stingest and these three backs had a lot to do with that success Besides playing in the defensive backfield, Martini was m on most kick-of- f and punt returns Last week against Bountiful, despite suffering a slight shoulder separation, he enjoyed one of his better games of the season Look for Scott to star when the track season rolls into focus, also Montgomery is a leading candidate athlete at Weber for the High, once the school year cones to a close He intercepted a pass last Thursday and converted it 22 yards for a touchdown He was also one of the star receivers with the offensive team Treasure was brilliant for the Warriors all season He has earned A RICK TREASIRE mmmmviz t North Ogden's 70 C Little League football team JESSE OWENS WON HIS OLYMPIC FAME IN THE '36 GAMES IN WHAT CITY?
