Show Aew Wildlife plan gives State two duck zones Utah Division of Wildlife Resources waterfowl biologists will propose to the Utah Wildlife Board next week that the state be divided divid-ed into two "duck hunting zones where waterfowlers could hunt at different times of the year. Under terms of the proposal, the duck hunt could begin in early October as usual in northern Utah (Zone One) and extend into January in parts of southern Zone (Zone Two). The end result would be more opportunity for Utah duck hunters. DWR waterfowl program coordinator Tom Aldrich says the proposal pro-posal is good for Utah hunters. "The Division feels that, under the current short season framework of 59 days, we should take advantage of the zone proposal to increase duck hunting opportunities in those parts of the state that have significant late season potential," said Aldrich. The duck hunting zone proposal will be discussed at the June 13 meeting of the Utah Wildlife Board in Brigham City.
