Show VOICE OF THE PEOPLE By Telegram Readers Deer Hunters Protest Buck Season Closing Editor Telegram We Ye the deer hunters that live h on or near the the east cast of the Oquirrh mountain range upon reading reading- the State of Utah deer proclamation for 1950 were surprised surprised surprised sur sur- and puzzled at the changes in m the regulations controlling controlling controlling con con- trolling this mountain range known as the East and West Vest Heaston hunting hunting- areas After reading the Supplemental Supplemental Supplemental Supple Supple- mental Deer Proclamation we weare weare weare are now thoroughly disgusted and would like the state board of big game control that is supposed supposed supposed sup sup- posed to be an impartial group to answer a few questions For years we ha have hae e accepted the idea that our side of this range should be held as a game preserve to maintain our deer herds With deer practically running running- through our back yards and the fact that some of us live H within two miles of the thc East and Vest West Heaston boundary we have still been willing to drive the 40 10 odd miles around the north end of the mountain range to get a chance at our buck Now the West Vest Heaston has been closed for regular hunting and andis andis andis is to be hunted by permit only hy Why If a deer surplus exists in this area why didn't the board sell permits and leave the buck hunt alone as in other years Or is this just another money raising project Also we find that we cant can't use the United States mail to obtain a a. permit and that they will be besold besold besold sold on a a. first first come-first served ser basis and that we must apply in person at the county courthouse in Tooele wh why Is this for the convenience of the local yokels only In all aU fairness we ask the big game control board to reconsider and open one side or the other of the Heaston district for the regular ular buck season Harvey Haney L L.
