Show Annual waterfowl hunt opens Saturday in state, 12 noon An expected 20,000 waterfowl water-fowl hunters will move onto Utah's marshes and other waterways wa-terways Saturday, Oct. 5, for the noon opening of the annual duck and goose season, which continues this year for 90 days of shooting ending Jan. 2, 1964. The game department listed the following reminders to waterfowl wa-terfowl hunters: Tne noon opening hour, Oct. 5, will be strictly enforced as will the daily shooting hours of one-half hour before sunrise to sunset thereafter. Five birds comprise both daily and possession limits for ducks. It is illegal to kill or possess either canvasback or redhead ducks this year and hunters are advised to know their target before pulling the trigger. Though a bag and possession limit of six geese is allowed, only two of these may be of Canada or dark species. All persons 16 years old or older must possess a proper state license and a federal waterfowl wa-terfowl stamp before hunting. The stamp must bear the owners own-ers signature, in ink, across the face of the stamp. Juveniles 14 and 15 years old may hunt waterfowl without purchase of the federal stamp provided they possess the state juvenile bird hunting license. However, they may hunt only when accompanied by someone of adult years, 21 years of age or older. Shotguns must be plugged so they are incapable of holding more than three shells |
