GREAT HUNTS FOR KIDS Two hunts that are great ones to take your children out on—Utah's cottontail rabbit and forest grouse hunts—start Sept. 11, 2010. The snowshoe hare hunt also starts Sept. 11, 2010. But you don't have to wait until Sept. 11, 2010 to start upland game hunting. If you're really adventurous, you can head to the high country now to pursue white-tailed ptarmigan. The hunt for this bird that lives above the timberline started Aug. 21, 2010. It runs until Oct. 17, 2010. Take your kids out Dave Olsen, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says taking your kids on a cottontail rabbit or a forest grouse hunt is a perfect way to introduce them to hunting. Rabbits can be taken with small .22 caliber rifles, and grouse can be taken with shotguns as small as .410s. If you match the size of the firearm to the size of your child, your child should have fun and find some success. Olsen says the two hunts are also a great way to introduce children to nature. "Rabbits and grouse are small enough that your kids can help you dress the game they've taken and prepare it for the table," he says. "And forest grouse have beautiful and intricate feather patterns that help them blend into their surroundings. It's fun to watch your children marvel at the birds' feathers." The following is a preview for each of the four hunts: Forest grouse Two forest grouse species live in Utah—ruffed grouse and dusky grouse. (Dusky grouse are commonly known as blue grouse). Good numbers of forest grouse were born in Utah this past spring. And many of the grouse survived this past summer. About the same number of grouse that were available last fall— and maybe a few more— should be available to you this season. Areas that have aspen trees are good places to find ruffed grouse. Aspen forests with streams and heavy understory vegetation and tangles are especially good places to try. You'll often find dusky grouse on the edge of the forest where the mountain brush blends into the forest. Dusky grouse can also be found deeper in the forest. In the winter, try wind- swept ridges that have pine trees. Cottontail rabbits Cottontail rabbit populations go through a boomand-bust cycle that lasts about 10 years. After reaching the top of the cycle, rabbits decline in number until they reach the bottom of the cycle about five years later. Then their numbers start to build back to the high levels again. The last rabbit population peak across most of the state occurred around 2005. That means rabbit populations across most of Utah are at the bottom of their cycle and are just starting to build again. You can expect to find and harvest cottontails, but hunting will be a little slower than it is when populations are at the top of the cycle. Taking a full bag limit will likely require some time and effort. Snowshoe hares Snowshoe hare populations appear to be in fair condition again this year. You'll find most of Utah's snowshoe hares in higher elevation mountain ranges that have pine and fir trees and a brushy understory. You have to be willing to put some time and effort in to find their habitat. Early morning and evening are the best times to hunt hares. That's when they're the most active. White tailed ptarmigan White-tailed ptarmigan live above the timberline in the Uinta Mountains. Once you've gotten above the timberline, look for ptarmigan on talus rock slopes and outcrops that have dwarf willow bushes that are located near springs, streams or other wet areas. Hunter success this year should be similar to past years. Ptarmigan are limited in distribution, and they're highly prized because of their novelty. Before hunting ptarmigan, you must obtain a free white-tailed ptarmigan permit. You can obtain one from hunting license agents across Utah and at any DWR office. You can also obtain a free permit at wildlife.utah. gov. Once you arrive at the ESTATE PLANNING WHAT IS IT? All of us at sometime in our lives have probably heard the phrase, "Set your house in order" or some similar principle. We may have heard the message as children when told to clean our room or as adults in the context of organizing our family or individual lives. This principle is estate planning. Estate planning is the process of organizing your affairs in such a way as to give what you have, to whom you want, when you want, in the way you want, at the lowest possible cost to you and those you love. Having your affairs in order brings peace and comfort. In fact, doing your estate planning may even make vacations more enjoyable. If you have done or updated your estate planning, the next time you leave on a long awaited trip you will not spend the first hour or more contemplating the question, "What would happen to everyone and everything that is important to me if I did not return?" Estate planning is arguably the easiest thing to procrastinate in our lives because we have until the very end to keep procrastinating! Although easy to procrastinate, completing the estate planning process brings a sense of accomplishment and great peace of mind. This is the first of a series of articles to be published every Thursday. Future articles will discuss numerous issues related to estate planning. I am excited to share information regarding a topic important to all. I encourage you to cut and save those articles that interest you. If you already have estate planning documents, I recommend that you place the articles with your documents. If you do not already have estate planning documents, I believe the information in this and future articles can be a useful tool in helping you work with qualified professionals in order to do your estate planning The knowledge that you acquire will be beneficial whatever your status is in the estate planning process.

Respect private landowners All four of these species are found on public land, so finding a place to hunt shouldn't be a problem. But some cottontail, snowshoe hare and forest grouse hunting opportunities are also available on private land. If you allowed someone to hunt on land you owned, how would you want that person to treat your property? Olsen says that's the same way you should treat private property that landowners give you written permission to hunt on. "If you treat landowners and their land with respect, there's a decent chance they'll allow you on their property in the future," Olsen says.
