BRUCE Club "There was more at stake than just a few deer in the Ute Indian Compact, HB 400," according to Douglas Day, Director of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Sound biological management practices and control over thelish and wildlife were in jeopardy. The area of dispute includes major portions of lands from the head of Daniels Canyon, including Strawberry Valley, east ot the Colorado state border, north to the Uintah Mountain Divide and south to the Bookcliff Range Divide. ' The original compact as presented would have allowed the Ute Tribe free hunting, fishing and trapping rights on the disputed lands and no restrictions for the taking of deer. During negotiations, the Division agreed to allow the tribe y 500 to 1,000 free deer permits and a season on these lands under the direction of the Board of Big Game Control.

"The duration of cold weather during the winter was the problem, said Tim Proven, a waterfowl biologist with the Division. He explained that waterfowl remained near the small pockets of open warm water at Locomotive Springs. As the winter progressed and nearby wetlands frose, the birds concentrated on the warm springs.
