Couple Q ln 'M 47 East 2nd North, Tooele 1 Derek Dahlstrom Wendover Tony Spillman Wendover Wildlife Fee Hike This Month Fishing and hunting license fees will take a jump April 29, when the license fee increase passed by the legislature goes into effect. The fishing license will go up from $13.80 (with the trout stamp) to $18. The big game hunting license will go from $10 to $18, and the combination license will go from $26.30 (with the trout stamp) to $35. Licenses purchases prior to April 29 at the old prices will be good through 1985. Trout fishermen will still be required to buy the trout stamp prior to April 29, but the Utah Wildlife Board will almost certainly drop the trout stamp requirement under the new fee schedule. The Board will take up the trout stamp Issue at a mid-Apr- il meeting in St. George. But the best news, according to Division of Wildlife Resources Director Bill Geer, Is that the new fee echedule will allow his agency to maintain and likely improve hunting and fishing In the state. "Weve got some exciting new programs lined up that will give us a real edge in our efforts to provide a quality outdoor exper- ience for all Utahns, not just hunters and fishermen, says Geer. "Recently enocted legislation, especially the conservation easement bill, will enable us to provide more sportsmen's access to prime hunting and fishing areas, and also provide for the critical winter range needs of our big game herds. "Wetlands leasing, range rehabilitation, virtually all our expanding wildlife management programs will pay off In big dividends not only for hunters, but for bird- watchers, photographers, hikers, anyone who enjoys wildlife," Geer concluded. |
