Show Hunters asked to aid in curbing illegal kills during game season j Illegally killed moose and elk are one of the big problems prob-lems facing conservation officers of-ficers during the opening weekend week-end of the deer hunt and unless all hunters take more time to be sure of their target and assist as-sist In policing their own ranks this again will be a waste of trophy game animals. Golden Peay, Chief of Law Enforcement for the Division of Fish and Game said, "hunters, "hunt-ers, themselves, can be one of the best deterrents to the wasteful killing of elk and moose and are important sources sour-ces of information regarding Illegal kills. Hunters can clean and hang up or prop up to cool any illegal il-legal kills they find and then report the location to the nearest officer to aid in the salvaging of the meat." Peay also asked for hunters to get locations of camps, vehicle ve-hicle license numbers or any other information they can which will help in the prosecution prosecu-tion of persons illegally shooting shoot-ing these animals. One of the other problems, according to Peay, is the lime officers must take from their regular law enforcement duties to locate and salvage these illegal ille-gal kills. The Fish and Game Division offers rewards to anyone giving giv-ing information which leads to the arrest and conviction of persons illegally killing elk and moose. A reward of $100 is offered of-fered on elk and $300 on moose. Contact may be made with Fish and Game officers by calling call-ing the Utah Highway Patrol or through any police officer and the information will be given to field officers through the statewide radio network.
