Show LIBERAL QUAIL, PHEASANT HUNT IS OFFERED The most liberal pheasant and quail hunts in history await Utah scattergunners when the season on these two birds opens Sunday, November No-vember 1, 1942. Several new regulations regu-lations and departures from the past seasons will be in for the 1942 hunt. They include (1) the opening of eight new counties to quail shooting; (2) four-bird daily bag limits on pheasants in seven counties (only Uintah and Du-chesnt Du-chesnt have enjoyed four-bird limits heretofore) ; (3) eight-day pheasant hunts in Duchesne and Uintah counties, the first double week-end seasons in the history of Utah; (4) lenthening of the ring-neck season in seven other counties; (5) liberalizing the regulations regu-lations for the southern half of Sanpete county to permit a five-day five-day season, four pheasants daily, the same as neighboring Sevier county, which is perhaps the most populous pheasant country in the state. Utah hunters will continue to hunt male birds only, the one-hen law apparently is still not in the offing. Opening time is set at daylight day-light and continues to 6 p. m. The quail season, which opens November 1, and continues on the 2nd, will allow a daily bag limit of 10 birds. Only five counties of the 20 are closed for hunting this year. The season on pheasants was extended ex-tended to four days in Weber, Davis, Juab, Iron, and Washington counties. For the first time four pheasants may be taken daily in South Sanpete, Sevier, Carbon, Emery, and Millard counties. In all other counties where hunting is permitted, the daily bag limit for pheasants is three birds, which includes in-cludes Utah county. Uintah and Duchesne have bag limits of four and Tooele two. A five-day hunting season on pheasants will open in Utah county coun-ty this year in place of the former three-day period, it was announced. |
