In the Southeastern Region many units continue to suffer from poor habitat conditions brought about by long term drought in the region.

Welch reminds archers that all the snow and rain received this year has left a lot of vegetation and fire danger is high through most of the state. He also reminds hunters that they must obtain written permission before hunting on private property. As you come further north, theres more and more private land, Welch said. Welch also reminds hunters that permits are still available for the Northern, Central and Northeastern regions, but permits for the Southern and Southeastern regions have sold out. a The is following n look at deer hunting prospects for the upcoming archery hunt: Northern Region Visionary Computers Upgrades' New Computers Quality Products Repairs region-by-regio- Call Fred at 623-727- 4 ;W west roc awaiting them while hunting these two public land areas. All of our populations will be up, some substantially," said Lou Cornicelli, Northern Region wildlife manager. Archers will see mostly young bucks on the Box Elder and Cache units, as hunting pressure on the units typically keeps buck deer from reaching a mature age, Cornicelli said. The outlook is improving for future hunts on the two units, as the units lost about 25 percent of their fawns this year, compared to losses of 35 to 70 percent over the past few years, Cornicelli said. On some of the regions units located on private land, deer herds are doing even better. On the Ogden unit, for example. Division surveys this year found almost 100 fawns per 100 does, Cornicelli said. Many of the regions units are near total population management objectives, Cornicelli said. Before going afield Aug. 21, Cornicelli advises archers to do some advanced scouting, looking for travel lanes, feeding areas, bedding areas and actively used watering holes. Advanced scouting also is important in helping assure that an area hunted in past years hasnt been effected this year by the movement of livestock into the 0 Colored Concrete 0 Post Hole Mix 0 Pea Gravel Mix 0 Driveway Mix 0 Foundation Mix 0 Shrinkage Resistance Mix 0 Fiber Reinforced Concrete 0 Guaranteed Performance 0 Cold Weather Concrete 0 Local People National Knowledge 0 Hot Weather Concrete 0 Water Proof Concrete 0 Saturday Delivery 0 Engineered Mix Designs Meet To Order Concrete Call Dispatch At ext. 2 2 Mix Designs & Pricing UDOT Certified Call Larry Pay at 623-424- 1 ASTM Approved Aggregate s (American Society for Testing and Materials) .?A, NRMCA Certified Iwestrocf (National Ready Mixed Concrete Association) Washed Sand & Gravel, Crushed Stone, Road Base, Pea Gravel Deliver!

The more you go back, the better hunter youll be because youll learn where the animals are and where they move. Everytime you go into a new area, you sacrifice a lot of knowledge," he said. Cranney advises hunters new to the region to pick an area and to start the learning process. Go back to Two areas general season hunters cant hunt this year are the Diamond Mountain and Book Clifts units, both of which are open only to those who drew a limited entry permit for them earlier this year. Archers also are reminded that a substantial amount of land in the Uintah Basin is Ute tribal land and is not open to public hunting. Archers are encouraged to obtain maps, available from Division offices, to leam Ute tribal boundaries. Those hunting in the region during the general archery season should find good vegetative conditions, with a lot of good growth, Cranney said. The Uintah Basin has maintained good moisture over the past month, so fire danger shouldn't be too high.
