Anglers can take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the many all year fishing waters as well at the three streams open to whitefishing. For the fifth year in a row a long season is now open for trapping beaver, mink and marten. mar-ten. These furbearers are now prime and a $6 license entitles any citizen to trap the animals. Jackrabbits and the more popular pop-ular cottontail will again give many hours of outdoor pleasure for the hunter, with no license required or bag limits set for this non-game animal. In many areas rabbit hunters can be of valuable assistance to landowners in reducing excessive exces-sive populations of jackrabbits. They should, however, always obtain permission before trespassing tres-passing upon private property, and with rare exception, will find they are welcomed to hunt. An increasingly popular out-grounds out-grounds for a major portion of ing for the whole family is a trip to the department's Hardware Hard-ware Ranch, wintering and feed the Cache valley elk herd. |
