Show Deer hunters need more than a license Recent contact with hunters indi- cates there is still some confusion about the choose-your-hunt system, said Ron Stewart, Regional Information and Education Manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "All deer hunters need a deer tag to go with the big game or combination combi-nation license this year," Stewart said. "This includes the general season sea-son rifle hunt because the deer tag has been removed from the big game and combination licenses. "A couple of years ago, the Board of Big Game Control voted to change the deer hunt system," Stewart explained. "It was initiated by earlier requests from hunters wanting fewer people out on the opening day of the rifle deer hunt and larger, older bucks. The board created a committee to investigate possibilities to meet these goals and to suggest alternative hunt systems. After a couple years of research and public surveys, the board was presented pre-sented with several alternatives and the Big Game Board voted to try the choose-your-hunt system. "The system works like this: a hunter chooses which deer hunt season sea-son he wants to participate in when he purchases his tag. Hunters, that did not enter or draw out on a limited limit-ed entry unit, can choose to hunt general archery, general rifle, general gen-eral muzzleloader or an antlerless hunt. As a further incentive to hunt something besides the rifle hunt, hunters choosing antlerless, archery or muzzleloader get an earlier opportunity op-portunity to purchase a second antlerless deer because these tags go on sale to those hunters before they are made available to rifle r N-r-r- ft i I m A 1 nf ; .

In order to initiate the new system, sys-tem, the deer tag was removed from the big game and combination licenses. li-censes. "That seems to be where many hunters are making a wrong assumption," as-sumption," Stewart said. "Previously, all a hunter needed to buy to hunt the general rifle season was a big game or a combination license li-cense because a deer tag was attached. at-tached. General season archery and muzzleloaders bought an additional permit. This year, there is no deer tag attached to the license. The general gen-eral season rifle hunter needs to purchase a seasonal deer tag to go along with the big game or combination combi-nation license." The Utah State Legislature has set the big game license at $5 and deer tags at $14 so that all general season sea-son deer hunters pay $19 for the license li-cense and tag. "Until now, archery and muzzleloader hunters paid more to get the additional permit," Stewart said. "By making everyone pay the same price, general season rifle hunters will pay $4 more while general archery and muzzleloader hunters pay $6 less. These figures were selected to keep revenues neii'-tral. neii'-tral. The change in the deer hunt structure was not a money making proposal, if anything, there will be a loss of revenue." Further legislative action decreased de-creased the price of a resident combination com-bination license to $23 to reflect the change from $15 to $5 for the big game license. Non-resident hunters will pay $5 for their big game license li-cense and an additional $195 for a non-resident buck deer tag. Nonresident Non-resident antlerless tags are $50 and resident antlerless tags are $10. . w LAAi m a a n summer heat soon be bundled johns along with 1 v X m);:iKi Tf jji ' ft 11 t : I Drag If you have spent any time outside lately when the sun begins to set, you notice it immediately; a little 'nip' to the air. That same nip has begun to appear in the early morning morn-ing hours too. It doesn't stay around long, just long enough td deliver its message "goodbye summer, hello fall." If you happen to be one of the many archery hunters last weekend up on the mountain opening morning, morn-ing, you got a real loud message from mother nature. Many returned without their deer, but did catch a very healthy cold! Right now, the change is almost imperceptable, a few blades of grass turning brown. An occasional golden gold-en or yellow leaf on the quakies, even a few 'paranoid' birds flying south, but the message is there none-the-less. There are a few more obvious signs that fall is here. Football season sea-son has begun as well as the hunt and school. Baseball is about ready to begin the playoffs and the state is being inundated with the latest BYU quarterback controversy.
