Hunters beware: Utah guides need no license Utah is fertile ground for guide and outfitter fraud says Terry Mcssmcr, Utah State University Intension Wildlife specialist. Utah Utah is the only western state that does not have regulations requiring registration of guides and outfitters. Mcssmcr says. There are no guidelines which establish minimum qualifications for the job title, identify the type of information that must he provided clients, the responsibilities of guides and outfitter to clients and. or penalties for fraud The following scenario is laken I min a real case Jim had just received a flyer from an outfitter describing oncc-in-- a lifetime trophy elk hunts on private randies in Utah. The flyci included photographs of successful hunters and their trophies. lie could hardly contain his excitement when he called the outfitter about hooking hunts for himself and his dad Tlic outfitter requested Jim mail in Sl.(KK) deposit to reserve a hunt on a large ranch. The total d hunt was cost ot the $2,(XX). After mailing in checks for Ins dad and himself, lie received a note indicating that he would he called to set up the dales lie would hunt. The call never came. Jim repeatedly tried to contact ilic outfitter about the hunt hut only talked to an answering machine. A short time later, he found out the phone was disconnected and self-guide- his deposit gone. Unfortunately, Jim's story is repealed all too often. Mcssmcr says. Trusting, unsuspecting hunters are taken advantage of hy individuals posing as respected guides and outfitters. In Jim's case, since the outfitter was from Utah, there was no legal recourse lie could pursue through the state to prevent ilic outfitter from doing it again. "Not all outfitters are just out for your money." Mcssmcr says. "In fact, most Utah outfitters arc genuinely concerned about their hunters, their reputation, and Utah's wildlife resources. However. without some type informal or formal registration nr qualification system for guides and outfitter, individuals seeking to txxik hunts through guides and outfitters will he best served hy adhering to the tried and tested adage 'buyer beware.'"

Both hornets and yellowiackeis are arguably responsible or J5 percent plus of all the "bee stings" that occur in Colorado and Utah. These are social wasps that produce an annual colony. The only overwintering stage is a fertilized "queen" that spends the "off season" hidden in some protected area, sometimes within homes. They become active in late spring and try to start a colony - although few are successful. Originally the queen diws all llie nest chores, but as young wasps are reared they assist, t These first wasps are infertile females, known as workers.) The colonies increase almost exponentially in size until late summer. At that time, some of the wasps are reprixluclively capable - future queens and some males. These leave the colony and. alter mating, the queens disperse to winter shelter. The males and workers all die at tlx; eiul of the season and the colony is abandoned, almosi never to he reused. Both yellowjiickels and hornets create nesting cells out of a papery material made up primarily of macerated bark or wixxl. The entire colony is enclosed within a papery envelope. However. there are some differences in habits: Nest ljocanon: Yellowjackets primarily nest below ground, in ahaixloned rodent nests or in hollows under stones. Occasionally they will also nest in wall voids. Hornets produce above ground nests in trees, shrubs, inside buildings or under eaves or other overhangs. These nests get very large and are very conspicuous in most cases. Habits: Common Feeding are yellowiackeis primarily scavengers, although ix:casionai-l- y they will feed on insects, liarly in the season, as the colony is expanding with production foods are of hrmd. pnxein-haseused, such as dead insects or earthworms, garbage, and carrion.
