Show New Plantings of Pheasants Should Make Good Hunting In County Local People Urged To Secure Doe Permits At Once To Insure Hunting A total of 600 pheasants have been released in Washington county coun-ty which game men feel will add materially to the hunting in this section. The season will open on Sunday, Nov. 2, with local hunters already making plans for the hunt. According to Pres. Lawrence Wadsworth the- birds were released releas-ed as follows: 200 on the Santa Clara creek up to the Gunlock area; 200 in the Washington fields below St. George; 200 in the To-querville, To-querville, LaVerkin and Hurricane fields. These birds will be shooting shoot-ing size by the opening of the season, states Mr. Wadsworth. Beaver To Be Released Five colonies of beaver are to be released on Pine Valley mountain moun-tain in the near future, states Mr. Wadsworth. It is thought by the fish and game department that these beaver will help in the conservation con-servation program and will build dams which will form pools for fish. ' Experience has shown that they are an important factor in conservation work. Hunting Permits Local people who plan to secure se-cure doe permits are urged to do so promptly since present indications indica-tions are that out-of-state hunters are flooding the department -with requests for the permits. Doe permits will be sold to resident resi-dent hunters for $1.50 each. To secure the doe permit, hunters must first have purchased their buck licenses. The cost to resident resi-dent hunters for both is $4.50; to out-of-state hunters $22.00. The doe season will run concurrent con-current with the buck season, October Oc-tober 18 to 28, inclusive. The elk season will be from November 7 to 16 and non-resident fees are $50.00. Utah offers 30 days of hunting and fishing, with the fishing season sea-son not closing until October 13, so that hunters and fishermen may enjoy these sports until the end of October and then follow this with pheasant hunting. |
