Reduced fawn and calve production will result in smaller herd sizes and fewer animals available for hunters. In some areas, biologists have continued with antlerless harvests to help reduce the number of animals impacting the drought stricken winter range. There are good numbers of big game animals in the state now, but were concerned about the future of the herds and the condition of rangelands, Karpowitz continued. We want to ensure that we only take enough female animals to keep herds within management plan objectives and within the capacity of the range." Sage brush and other browse plants on many of Utahs winter ranges are showing drought impacts in both their vigor and survival. Specific areas have even shown heavy browse mortality. Biologists The Board Utah Wildlife approved antlerless big game hunting permit numbers at their meeting held on May 1. They voted to reduce the number of antlerless deer, elk, moose and doe pronghorn permits for this falls hunts. Board members made their decisions after reviewing recommendations forwarded by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and citizens represented by Utahs five public Regional Advisory Councils. According to DWR biologists, big game animals survived the winter in good numbers but other factors are keeping populations down. The number of fawns and calves bom and surviving to adult age has been limited for several years. Drought conditions make it harder for big game animals especially female deer and pronghorn to give birth to healthy antelope fawns that will survive over time, said Jim Karpowitz, DWR big worry that forage availability is greatly reduced and may be for many years on severely impacted sites. The largest permit reduction approved by the board was in doe deer permits. Board members approved 2,370 doe deer permits for 2003. This is a reduction of 2,675 from 5,045 offered last year. They approved 10,720 cow elk permits which are 940 below the 11,660 approved in 2002. Doe pronghorn permits numbered 286 last year and were reduced to 240 for 2003. Cow moose permits were cut in half down from 55 to 23. Antlerless permit applications will be available by May 27 from license agents and DWR offices and the DWR Internet Web site. They must be completed and returned by 5 p.m. on June 16. Results of the drawing will be available by July 31. HlD (Uro fcr Play! Our Scenic Restaurant is Open Daily!
