Some of these animals became be-came year-round residents and over the last few years their numbers have increased. These herds of valley val-ley deer and elk cause depredation losses to agricultural interests, eat gardens and ornamental plants, and can be a safety hazard on roads and airports. To reduce the problems and provide pro-vide landowners and other hunters an opportunity to take some of these animals, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) has created the Uintah Basin Extended Archery Hunt. This hunt, for archery tackle only, begins Saturday, Aug. 23 and goes through Nov. 6. The extended archery hunt is intended in-tended to reduce the number of resident res-ident nuisance and depredating deer and elk found around towns and agriculture lands throughout the Uintah Basin. According to the Utah Big Game Proclamation; a person who has obtained ob-tained a general archery buck deer permit for any area, may hunt a deer of (he hunter's choice within the Uintah Basin extended area with archery equipment. A general archery elk permit allows a person using archery equipment to take one elk of the hunter's choice within with-in the Uintah Basin extended hunt boundaries.

There are also some public lands in the area and Davis expressed his concerns over hunters recognizing the management policies of those lands. "Hunters need to contact the land managers before hunting on refuges and other lands that may be closed during the extended season," Davis said. "For example. Dinosaur National Monument and the Ute Tribal Lands are closed to hunting." Maps of the Ute Tribal Lands are available at the Regional UDWR office in Vernal. With courtesy and common sense, most problems may be avoided. "If there are problems, landowners may call central dispatch and request re-quest law enforcement help to control con-trol trespass on private lands. Those hunters that believe public lands are posted illegally should contact the land management agency and let them resolve the land ownership issue," is-sue," Davis said. Davis also encouraged hunters to review the boundary descripiion for the Uintah Basin Extended Archery Hunt in the proclamation on page 46 and to be aware of where they arc hunting. The Book Cliffs boundary begins at 1-70 and the Green River; then easterly along 1-70 to the Utah-Colorado Utah-Colorado state line; northerly along the Utah-Colorado slate line to the White River; westerly along the While River to its confluence with the Green River to 1-70.

Persons drawing draw-ing out for a limited entry tag or obtaining ob-taining a special land owner permit may hunt the Diamond Mountain area. According to the Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources, the deer herds are increasing their buck to doc ratio fast because of the hunting management. Deer hunting should be better this year than in the past couple of years. hunting Is prohibited on Ute Tribal Uintah girls coming out on top with High school golf team places first and second The Uintah H.S.
