Center, Panguitch Call Ahead 676-8301 or cell 616-8301 MORE PERMITS AND MORE PLACES TO HUNT The DWR shares ideas for next spring’s turkey hunts. Every person who wants to hunt wild turkeys next spring could if ideas the Division of Wildlife Resources is proposing for Utah’s 2010 hunts are approved. And you’d have more places to hunt turkeys than ever before. “Even though we’d be putting more hunters in the field, we don’t think that would have a negative effect on Utah’s turkey populations,” says Dave Olsen, upland game coordinator for the DWR. “Each hunter in Utah is restricted to taking only one male turkey. And female turkeys in the state are very successful at reproducing.” Learn more, share your ideas You can review all of the DWR’s turkey hunting proposals online. Once you’ve read the proposals, you can share your thoughts and ideas one of two ways: RAC meetings Five Regional Advisory Council meetings will be held across Utah. Citizens representing the RACs will take the input received at the meetings to the Utah Wildlife Board. Board members will use the input to help them set rules for Utah’s 2010 turkey hunts. They’ll set those rules at their Aug. 19–20 meeting in Salt Lake City. You can participate and provide your input at the Southern Region RAC Meeting, July 28, 7 p.m., Triple C Arena, 50 E. 900 N., Panguitch Olsen says DWR biologists have watched and studied turkeys in Utah closely for more than 20 years. He says the biologists are comfortable allowing more hunters into the field. “Turkeys and other upland game birds reproduce at a high rate,” Olsen says. “It’s not unusual for a single male turkey to breed as many as 10 females. And female turkeys are very productive. They usually lay a clutch of between 10 to 12 eggs. “Because one male will breed several females, and because female turkeys are so productive, removing males out of the population will have little effect on the overall number of turkeys in Utah.” Olsen says the DWR is proposing the following for Utah’s 2010 hunts: A total of three hunts would be held. The first hunt would run April 10–29. Only a limited number of permits would be available for the hunt, and the hunt would be held on a regional basis. “The first hunt should be less crowded than the hunt in May because only 2,500 permits would be offered for it,” Olsen says. “Also, if you drew a permit for the April hunt, you wouldn’t be confined to hunting one specific area like you have been in the past. Instead, you could hunt an entire region.” The second hunt would be held April 30–May 2. This hunt would be a youth hunt for hunters 15 years of age and younger. Permits would not be limited in number, and permits would be available over the counter. Youth hunters could hunt anywhere in the state that’s open to turkey hunting. Youngsters who bought a permit for the youth hunt could also use the permit to hunt during Utah’s general statewide hunt. That hunt would start May 3. The third and final hunt would be a statewide hunt held May 3–31. Just like the youth hunt, there would be no limit on the number of permits offered for the hunt, and permits would be available over the counter. Hunters of all ages could participate in the hunt. You could hunt anywhere in the state that was open to turkey hunting. For more information about the meetings, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700. BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS by Vicki D.

A treat was had by all today in Sacrament Meeting when the granddaughter of Larvin and Eva Pollock signed the song, “America the Beautiful” It was very touching. The Reginald and Leona Stewart family met for a Mini-family Reunion. The Leon Stewart family, Max Stewart family, and Duane and Carol Stewart with son Mark and his wife Marily and children all went to the Dipping Vats to have dinner and reminisce together about old times. It was a very good time together and the weather was good. Thanks to David and Kathryn Pollock, Maureen Reed, and Jayleen Neilson, Juanita Price, Marion and Pauline Allen the family had a very successful “White” family reunion on the 11th of July. This was Eva Pollock’s family. Each of her brother’s and sister’s families were represented. There was a Country Store and what wonderful things were available to buy. Wonderful food!! The rain did not dampen their spirits at all. There was a very fun auction of some very special items and also thanks to Maureen and her daughter, Jayleen a marvelous genealogy room in the Scout House was set up. All of Larvin and Eva’s children were here with a lot of their grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Also at this time Jerry and Carol Pollock had all of their children home. Shane, just home from Irag and Gina and their Children, Zachary and Carlee who came from Texas were here.

While up there they waded in the water and Carol dropped her camera in the water. On Friday, 10 July they went with Joy and her family to Zion National Park. Beautiful day but very hot.
