High Country Cooking When cooking at higher altitudes, remember: air pressure is lower which allows baked foods to rise (and collapse) faster; the atmosphere at-mosphere is drier causing flour to absorb more liquid; and, water boils at 202 degrees which results in food taking longer to cook. ftj Brochures ftStationery ftEnvelopes ft Prog rams ft Posters ftMenus ft Flyers Hare Today, Gone "look, there goes a hare," you exclaim, as a little furry creature with long ears hops across your path. Not a typical response, you say? Yet, often when you spot a rabbit in Utah, you are actually seeing a hare. In fact, three of the four common species of rabbits in the state are correctly referred to as hares white-tailed white-tailed jackrabbits, black-tailed black-tailed jackrabbits and snowshoe hares. Hares are born fully furred with their eyes open, while rabbits are born blind and naked. The cottontail is Utah's only true rabbit. Rabbits are generally smaller in size and have shorter ears than hares. Rabbits and hares are found throughout Utah. The white-tailed jackrabbits prefer the mountainous areas, while their black-tailed black-tailed relatives adapt easily to all parts of the state except the Uintah Mountains and other northeast mountain regions. The snowshoe hare prefers high alpine surroundings. Mountain or desert cottontail rabbits are found throughout the state. Cottontail rabbits and Seniors Get Donations ft: "1 ; irr- maikiL Park City's Senior Citizens' Center received a wall full of old time photographs last week. The pictures were donated by Nick Nass and the framing was donated by Dick Doty. black-tailed jackrabbits retain their brownish gray coloring year-round. However, during the thick of snowshoe hare hunting season, white-tailed jackrabbits and snowshoe hares are often confused. Both don a snowy white coat in winter. Several characteristics easily distinguish these two species of hares from one another. The white-tailed jackrabbit dwarfs the smaller, shorter-eared showshoe hare. In winter the ears of a white-tailed jackrabbit may be tipped with black, while a ring of black around the eyes is the only contrasting marking on a white snowshoe hare. Unlike many jackrabbits, a snowshoe hare will often sit frozen against its snowy surroundings, while an unknowing hunter walks directly past. A snowshoe hare scared out by a hunter rarely runs in a straight line. The little creature veers to the left or to the right, suddenly coming to a halt and blending perfectly with its environment. The popularity of snowshoe hare hunting has increased substantially 419 Main Street Park City 649-9592 Tomorrow since the animal first became a protected species in Utah three years ago. With more than 9,000 hunters afield in 1977, over 21,000 snowshoe hares were harvested. The cottontail hunter in 1978-79 will not be disappointed. Coming off a record harvest season in 1977, the cottontail population continues to peak. Cottontail populations tend to peak and drop in cycles. Cottontail numbers are especially high in the north and northeastern sectors of the state, according to Dwight Bunnell, supervisor of upland game for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. However, large populations of rabbits also increase the possibility of disease, warns Bunnell. Simple precautionary measures will eliminate dangers for hunters. A rabbit or hare which is not easily flushed or moves sluggishly may be infected with tularemia, commonly called v rabbit fever. An infected animal should be shot and buried without being touched. m IJ |
