The general elk season began be-gan last Wednesday and probably prob-ably no where in the state was the hunting as good as for the 20 permit holders on the Beaver Bea-ver Mountain Elk Unit. Six bulls were taken on opening day all in the vicinity of F re -mont,C6yote & South CreekAt least three more bulls have been taken since opening.

A cool and slightly drizzly day was in store for the few hunters who were out, but it dldn'thelp out the hunting hunt-ing much. Beaver County is not known for its duck hunting anyway. But there were fewer ducks in the area last Saturday than on some openers. The Goose season will open this Saturday, October 10th,' but not many geese are In the area yet, either. The goose season last through December 31st this year which is about ten days longer than last year. The extra ten days will make some of the local hunters happy because they, will now have a chance at some of the later flights of geese. Daily bag limits remain the same -five geese of which two may be Canada Geese and three .
