Show MIDLIFE REPORT By Jon Leatham t ) P& Conservation Officer YXT4$y Fishing season this year began with a slow start, but since the weather has improved, improv-ed, access to fishing waters has become a reality rather than a wish. However, the thrill of finally getting to the fishing waters is dampened by the sight of cans and other litter that has accumulated in sickening amounts am-ounts in only the past three weeks. Hidden Lake looks like it is in (he middle of a garbage dump. Apparciiuv that i the kind of setting some ople like when they go to the mountains to relax. 1 hope it isn't the majority. Moreover, I hope decent campers and fishermen begin to put pi s-sure s-sure on those groveling individuals who arc observed littering. As fishing season advances, more and more fishermen become careless in observing the rules and regulations governing angling. It would be k wise to occasionally review the current Aquatic Wildlife Proclamation Proc-lamation so that violations do not occur and spoil an otherwise enjoyable outing. The wildlife board has proposed a Sept. 1 through 30 mourning dove and band-tailed pigeon hunt this year as recommended by Division of Wildlife Resources biologists. The proposal will be made to the Fish and Wildlife Service as bold are migratory birds and. therefore, fall under federal regulations. The Hoard of Hig Game Control will make final decisions decis-ions on all big game seasons for 1975 at their executive meeting to be held on Saturday, June 2Hlli. Proclamations Proc-lamations should be available soon idler they arc published in the newspapers, some time in early July |
