Show Fish and Game Hews Hot es . . . The Utah Fish and Game Department De-partment became the recipient of a surprise package from the Canadian Can-adian government for Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing Day. The package consisted of one case of eyed mackinaw trout eggs. These eggs are continuing their development at the Pari-guitch Pari-guitch hatchery. Fish from them will eventually be planted at Fish Lake. Since there is no source of mackinaw trout eggs in the United States, this surprise package from the Canadian government is most welcome. The Canadian government, govern-ment, through its representatives, has long shown an interest in Utah's mackinaw problem. Three of the State's post season elk hunts have been set by the Fish and Game Department, according ac-cording to Director J. Perry En-gan. En-gan. These are; North Cache Unit, 10 bulls 10 cows; Season November 24 December 2 incl.; Checking Station at Logan canyon. Ashley-Daggett Unit, 25 bulls; Season November 24 December Decem-ber 2 incl.; Checking Station at Summit Springs Ranger station about 20 miles south of Manila on Vernal-Manila road. Brown's Park-Thres Corners Unit, 10 bulls; Season Decern ber 1 9 incl.; Checking Station Sta-tion at Steve Radosovich Ranch in Brown's Park. Dates for the two remaining post season elk hunts will not be set until a later date when the animals an-imals have moved into the hunting areas. These are the Davis and Salt Creek-Santaquin unit hunts. All permit holders for these units will be notified at least five days previous to their beginning. One of the most successful deer unit hunts in the Department history his-tory was recently concluded in the Bear Mountain-Goslin Mountain District of the Daggett-Three Corners Cor-ners section of the State. Nearly a 100 hunter success was achieved during this hunt. Depart- ment field men in charge state that permit holders had little trouhle in finding the type animal of their choice. A. heavy population of big bucks was noted. The Bear Mountain-Goslin Mountain unit is in an outlying section of the State. The only good entrance road to the. area re-ouires re-ouires a sixty-mile trip back into this corner of Utah from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Game Department spokesmen cite the real need of getting hunters hunt-ers into this and other such outlying out-lying areas', where the increasing populations of deer are endangering endanger-ing the very life of the herds through " a serious depletion of range forage. They urge hunters to give serious ser-ious thought to going into such areas next season during the regular reg-ular deer hunt. Three post-season either-sex deer hunts are yet to be concluded. These hunts -are open only to holders hold-ers of' the special permits that were sold on a first-come first-served first-served basis last September. The three units, number of permits.' per-mits.' dates of hunt, and location of checking stations vare as follows: fol-lows: Lucerne Valley Unit, 100 permits; per-mits; season November 24 30 incl.; checking station at Manila. Nash Draw-Cottonwood Unit, 400 permits; season November Novem-ber 24 December 3 incl.; checking station at Cunning- , ham ranch. East Manti Unit, 200 permits; checking station near Huntington. Hunt-ington. , Hunters holding special permits for anv of the post season deer or elk hunts yet to bo held should go afield prepared to meet rough weather and road conditions. This is the advice of Game Department spokesmen. Warm clothing and camping facilities, fa-cilities, tire chains, axe, shovel, are necessities. Hunters should anticipate an-ticipate snow, cold, and wet weather conditions on all these re-. re-. maining hunts. |
