Show ) Fish, Game Notes . . Mr. Lee Arnold, assistant Regional Re-gional Federal Aid Supervisor, is visiting the Fish and Game Department De-partment for the purpose of making mak-ing a tour of the southern portion of the state to examine Federal Aid activities. His itinerary will include examination exam-ination of the recently installed guzzlers, as well as a tour of the land purchased for the upland game bird sanctuaries. The guzzler is an ingeneous device de-vice for storing water in arid sections as watering places for upland game birds, including quail, Hungarian partridge, and also song and insectiverous birds. The guzzler consists of a cistern-like contrivance with a large cement apron extending from the mouth of it. This apron catches the rain and snow fall and stores it. The cistern-like part of the guzzler slopes gently back and allows the birds to come in and drink. Although these structures have been placed in a number of areas in the state, they are still used largely on an experimental basis. They have been used very successfully success-fully by surrounding western states. Post Deer Seasons The dates for the open season on the Timpanogos, Alpine, Timp-anogos-Orem, Smithfield, Green-Logan, Green-Logan, Providence, and Blacksmith's Black-smith's Fork post season deer hunts and the South Cache and Salt Creek-Santaquin post season elk hunts have not as yet been set, the Game Department announced today. The seasons for these special post season hunts was set by the proclamation to be on five days notice on or after November 11, 1950. The exact time of the hunts is to be determined by the time that the deer and elk move onto the respective hunting areas from their higher summer ranges. Under present weather conditions it is doubtful if these hunts will be held before November 25. The individual permit holders will be notified by mail as to the opening dates for these units as soon as local wardens have determined deter-mined that the elk and deer are on the units in sufficient numbers to assure a reasonable degree of success. The special hunts on the Grouse Creek-Goose Creek and the Raft River-Park Valley areas have been set for November 18 to 27, 1950. Field checks by game department depart-ment personnel have shown that the drift of deer from. Idaho is now well under way, and it is felt that by the time of the special hunts as announced above, there will be ample deer onvthe hunting units to assure the hunters a reasonable degree of success. ; The department is mailing letters let-ters to each of the successful ap plicants for permits on these two western Boxelder county units notifying them as to the time of the hunt and also reminding them that it is mandatory for them to register at the checking station be-, fore starting to hunt and upon conclusion of their hunt. The checking station for both units will be at the junction on U. S. 30-S and state highway 70 which is about 20 miles west of Snowyille, Utah. |
