I think well be surprised with the success of the hunt, Dahl-ber- g said. Mike Welch, a DWR biologist, also says this years hunt will not be as bad as some have said. He said that because of the hard winter, th hunt will not be as good as last year: but overall, the season will be no worse than r wo.' , 'i1 ered around watering holes as in the past because of the heavy morning dews and the abundance of water everywhere, Dahlberg average in Northern Utah. Dahlberg said he has seen several clues to indicate the deer may have fared better during the winter than originally thought. He said he saw a doe with two a sign that does were fawns strong enough to bear and rear their young. A large number of highway lulls so far this year also indicate quite a few deer made it through the winter. Dahlberg said he expects hunt- - , ers to scare up some .big bucks in : high elevations, above the tree line. Bucks often take to the: higher country to avoid cutting tender skin when their antlers are in velvet, he said. Hunters in the lower elevations may still have some problems because of the thck undergrowth caused by the past two years of ' y heavy precipitation, The deer also will not be gath- - said. For those lucky enough to bag their deer this bow season, Dahlberg reminds hunters that all kills must be tagged at the spot of harvest and evidence of the sex must be preserved. The hunt is buck only, except for 250 hunters choice permits. He also suggested hunters get the hide off their deer as soon as possible to prevent the meat from spoiling in the warm tempera: tures. .. Xjit, jx V ' w V.., "'v k ' - .
