Show PHEASANT SHOOT STARTS SATURDAY Some 90,000 Utah pheasant hunters can be expected to take an "average" harvest of birds as this popular upland game hunt gets under way Saturday, Nov. 5, at 8 a. m., according to the Department De-partment of Fish and Game. Late season brood counts indicate indi-cate there will be about the same number of birds as a year ago, though less than during the 1958 season when the pheasant cycle was at a peak. The Department reminded all hunters to respect the rights of the private landholder where practically all pheasant hunting takes place. The law, as written on each fish and game license, declares that it is illegal to trespass tres-pass upon private property at any time without the express permission of the landholder or person in charge of such lands. Work on the State Triangle Committee during the past four years has done much to better these problems of trespass. The committee functions on state, county and local level in an effort ef-fort to better the problems of private land use for hunting and at the same time project an equitable harvest of the game resources re-sources produced upon these lands. No person under 14 years of age may hunt game birds. Juveniles Juve-niles 14 and 15 may hunt game when properly licensed, provided they are accompanied by an adult 21 years old or older. Rifle, revolver or pistol may not be used and no shotgun pellet pel-let larger than No. 4s may be used. It is illegal to shoot from any vehicle, or to shoot on, from or across any highway, or within 600 feet of any dwelling or other building. Hunters in South Milford must display the special pheasant tag, which may be purchased at Jefferson's, Jef-ferson's, Claude Horton's, the B & J Club, or from the checking check-ing stations during the hunt. After the 8 a. m. opening on Saturday, shooting hours will be 7 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. for the other two days of the hunt. |
