CLEAR LAKE provides good hunting opportunities for mallards, greenwinged teal and baldpates. The area is also noted for its goose hunting.

By DAVE WIGHAM Have you ever stopped and on just listened to what goes at a football game nowadays and wondered what a person who has never seen a game would think of what was happening? SUPPOSEDLY, I know a little about what is going on and some of the things I hear are a mystery to me. But try to picture someone who has never seen a game sitting through this sequence. The home team crowd is sitting there yelling to their team, Holdem team, hold them. The visiting team throws a pass which no one catches, but wait a minute, one of the four men in the black and white shirts has a yellow dropped handkerchief on the ground. THE ANNOUNCER in- forms the crowd that the Kevin Hamblin, 16, bagged this nice four point buck opening weekend while hunting with his father, Duane Hamblin. They were in Cottonwood Canyon above the FIRST HUNT ' - y The Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources Nongame Section recently released the results of the 1976 .Summer '. : Raptor Survey . . THE SURVEY indicates that the numbers of eagles j, summering in Utah have 1-- remained relatively constant the past three years while the r trend of other raptors was higher than in H 1975. 2 V AFHeggen, Chief of the NongameResearch Section of the Division, indicated that the surveys were part of an ongoing program designed to " identify trends of raptor - habitation m Utah. HEGGEN said, We are surveying various species of raptors, including eagles, in order to determine whether or individual species pop-- : ;not ulations in Utah are remain- - ing stable, declining or build-- : . ing. Because raptors are on the ' end of their food that chain, ; - is, they are predators with no other form of predator that ; .consistently consumes them : as a food source, they can be Browning Arms plant when Kevin got the deer with the first shot of his first hunt.

That seems a little strange to this person, the players were just doing what they were told to do by the crowd and now theyre penalized for their actions. The one thing that really gets to this newcomer to the sport is when the men in the striped shirt throw the flag. One time a player tries running through the line and almost gets his head taken off and nothing is said; but then when someone stands 12 yards behind the rest of the team and attempts to kick the ball, well he is barely touched and those yellow flags fly all over the field. THEN THE only conclusion this foreigner can make about professional football coaches is that they are all blind. Just before the end of the half and the end of the game when the big scoreboard clock reads 2 minutes remaining, these men in the stripes go over and tell the poor coaches that there is two minutes left m the half or the game. Just think of those poor coaches who must be blind not to be able to see the clock and how much time is left. THEN COMES the question that most people who are witnessing a football game for the first time ask. If only II men are allowed on the field, and there is a defense and an offense which adds up to 22 players, what do the other 50 players standing on the sidelines do? They are thenmformed besides being an offense that and defense there are also kick-of- f the team, the kick receiving team, the punting team and the punt return team. All these for the pur- pose of resting people, but why do they need rest when after 15 seconds of action they are allowed 30 seconds to get DEVELOPMENT began in on this 4,700 acre marsh. 1936 The entire area is fed by a natural spring. Improvements made to the area have helped develop numerous small units by construction of dikes and marshy terrain. Clear Lake also provides some nesting areas for various species of ducks. Access to Clear Lake is by way of good graveled roads. It can be reached by traveling west from Fillmore or south from Delta. some congestion problems usually associated with the larger waterfowl areas in northern Utah. and barber attended the wedding have commenced the erection of a new home.

A game that takes 50 people to play, although only 11 are allowed on the field at one time. A game that someone gets wiped out at the line of scrimmage and nothing happens, but try to touch a kicker and it brings back capital punishment.

It g is another reason for the constant surveys. main--tainln- THE 1976 winter survey included, for the first time, an actual count of the number of bald eagles wintering in Utah. . By observing roosting areas conservation officers were able to count in excess of 500 eagles between the months of January and March. Of the total classified by age, 68 per cent were adults. Heggen explained that one reason for eagle populations remaining consistent the last the several years was jackrabbit population, a primary food source for eagles, has remained essentially the same for that period of time. BY WAY of contrast, Heg- gen also noted that the Swainsons hawk and the prairie falcon showed marked increases over last year. Both species are highly dependent on small rodents as prey animals, and certain areas of the state did have significant increases in certain rodent species.
