At Tri City last week McCurdy Vernal BigO Big O Tires 1 r- w Tire Spin 2 Wheel Balance Drake and Rotation Rcline r"5 r r II $9095 Vernal AND Wcot 10 -Vernal also got another first, his first player ever to break 80 on the long, tough, narrow, and oak brush choked links in the mouth of American Fork Canyon. That's an amazing stat when considering that Line Hatch, Craig Huber, Dustin Henline, and Shane Oaks have all anchored McCurdy's teams in the last three years. Ryan Mott accomplished that first on Thursday with a 77 to lead the team to its fourth win and claim medalist honors on the day. Also in the team scoring for the Utes were: Levi Smuin Jr. (86), Brock Pope (92), and Cory Monsen (92) to give the team a total 348. Carbon came in second at 351, an Wasatch with only Brandon Bonner playing steady golf placed third at 362. The also rans for the week were Union 374, Lehi 379, and Emery 396. In the cumulative standing after five weekly matchups the Utes hold a 38 shot with a total five tournament tourna-ment score of 1662. Carbon is in second with a 1691. Wasatch who has been the Uintah nemesis with Bonner and the Summerhays family have been struggling of late and come in a surprising third with an 1840 which is 178 shots behind the Utes and 143 behind the second place Dinos. In the medalist standings Ryan Mott dueled Brandon Bonner and closed the gap to just two strokes 300 to 298 in their head to head battle. bat-tle. With a decent day at Wasatch Mott could win the region medalist honors to cap what has been a great year for the team leader. That task, however possible it might be, will be uphill all the way as Mott must face Bonner on the Wasp golfers home course. Mott has recorded rounds of 77, 75, 75, 73 in totaling his 300 shots. Bonner recorded rounds of 71, 73, 73, 79 for his 298 total. Tom King of Carbon sits 13 shots back of Bonner with a 311 total as the leader of the surprising Dino contingent. Following the Region Championships the Utes will prepare pre-pare for the state tournament which is scheduled for next week at Brigham City. Uintah will battle Carbon, Ogden, Box Elder, and Cedar City in what is expected to be a great matchup. The Utes if two youngsters get hot and come through and Monsen has a normal round to match up with Ryan Mott could bring home the bacon this time ouL Last year the Utes won only one region meet against Wasatch and then came on in the state tournament to finish in a tic for the title before losing out on the first hole of sudden death.

The hunt begins Saturday, October 6 and continues through December 3. "There are lots of ducks this fall, mostly pintails, green wing teal and shovellers," said Aldrich. "The Ogden Bay and Harold Crane waterfowl wa-terfowl management areas are revegetating a lot faster than we expected, ex-pected, and that's attracting and holding more birds," he explained. Although most attention is focused fo-cused on recovering marshes along the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake, Aldrich noted that DWR water wa-ter fowl management areas statewide report good waterfowl numbers. Utah waterfowl hunter numbers have dropped dramatically in recent years, largely due to the early 1980s flooding and destruction destruc-tion of prime marshes along the Wasatch Front. Aldrich is hopeful that surging duck numbers and improving im-proving access will bring many hunters back. Observers at Ogden Bay last week said there were more ducks there than in the past several years. Access is good and hunters should have no problem setting up on the marsh. Hunters will see mostly pintails, pin-tails, and that means they'll have to use a lot of restraint. The daily bag limit for pintails is only one bird. A recent outbreak of avian botulism bo-tulism on the GSL marshes is a common occurrence in late summer, according to Aldrich. "We lost a lot of birds early this month but the . problem is subsiding," he said. Most birds were apparently unaffected unaf-fected by the outbreak. Aldrich said that Utah County marshes, usually prime targets for botulism, were not affected. Avian botulism does not affect humans. Aldrich cautioned hunters to study the new waterfowl hunting proclamation procla-mation carefully. "Steel shot is required re-quired for all waterfowl hunting in Box Elder, Cache, Weber, Davis, Salt Lake And Utah counties, and duck identification is especially important im-portant this year," he counseled. Waterfowl proclamations are available avail-able at all DWR offices and wherever wher-ever hunting licenses are sold. Remember your license, federal and state waterfowl stamps.

"We have more elk than ever before and we've issued a record high number of permits," says Shields, who expects ex-pects about 31,000 elk hunters afield this fall. The veteran big game biologist predict that over 5,600 bull elk will be taken, a hunter success rate of just over 18 percent. He ways the 5,100 antlerless elk permit holders should tally about an 85 percent success rate. Drought conditions throughout the state prompted the Board of Big Game Control to authorize a record high number of antlerless permits this year in an effort to balance herd sizes with range conditions. But Shields says the drought hasn't hurt elk too badly. "Elk are more pioneering pio-neering than deer and they'll travel greater distances to get to better forage for-age areas." u s Jl mum in 4 J jf r. yO fCXv Nr, . ? l',if , LINDA JOHNS shows off Black Bear she bagged in Colorado, 25 miles north of Meeker, with a rifle over bait.

"Even if they know the area, they should still scout this year because the elk have probably moved," Shields suggests. "Look for the elk in areas where there is both water and grass that hasn't been heavily grazed." Many animals will be taken in agricultural areas, says Shields. "We want to remind hunters to respect private property-ask permission to hunt, close gates behind you, avoid damaging standing crops and don't harass livestock," cautions Shields. Unseasonably warm temperatures during the archery elk hunt resulted in some spoilage of game meat by careless hunters, a problem Shields doesn't want to see repeated during the rifle hunt "With such a big animal, ani-mal, you've got to field dress it quickly, get the hide off and cool it down. Then, get your animal to a locker as soon as possible," says Shields. 4 ..1 Watch Opening Soon Hunter's Den 510 E.
