The shortest season, seven days, will be in 18 central and southern . counties. A sixteen day hunt from November 1-16 will be in northern nor-thern counties, the Uinta Basin and Washington County. Coun-ty. State and federal lands will be open for 30 days and individual landowneds will have the option of posting their hunting area open for this 30 day period. Shooting will start at 8:00 a.m. on opening day and will be daylight hours from then on Biological data from Division Di-vision of Fish andd Game field men indicated pheasant pheas-ant populations are at about the same level as last year. New laws are in effect this year governing the posted hunting units which will benefit both the landowners and the sportsmen. Pheasant season is a most critical time for scattergun-ncrs scattergun-ncrs to plan their hunt so they have arranged for permission per-mission from landowners to pursue ringnecks. The day before the season sea-son starts or opening morning morn-ing is a poor time to be seeking a place to hunt. Plans set and contracts made wilh the landowner weeks in advance make a much more pleasant hunt. |
