Most importantly, people who participate in wildlife-associated wildlife-associated recreation have proven to be a demographic group that transcends age, gender, race and income levels. if sportsmen were a corporation, they would rank III on the Fortune 500 list widi revenues of $70 billion - ahead of corporate giants Coca-Cola. Microsoft and AT&T. Wildlife watchers spent $40 billion bil-lion in 2001 more than the combined com-bined receipts for the performing arts, motion pictures and spectator sports (S27.3 billion). The 13 million hunters in America could fill every NFL stadium, sta-dium, combined - 6 times over. The 50 million anglers in America support one million jobs more than Eon-Mobil, General Motors and Ford employ combined. Board adjusts turkey rules In their Sept. 10 meeting in Richfield, the Utah Wildlife Board established a 2-year waiting period for successful applicants, initiated a youth turkey hunt and set the number num-ber of permits available for the 2003 spring hunt. The board approved 724 Rio Grande permits for Utah's 2003 spring hunts. This number is down by S3 from the number that were available in 2002. Permits for Merriam's turkeys were reduced by 5, from 555 in 2002 to 550 in 2003. "A total of 1,355 wild turkeys found new homes in Utah in the past 12 months,' said Dean Mitchell, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "Unfortunately, during that time some wild turkeys were lost because of long-term drought across the state and a heavy winter in parts of northern and central Utah. For that reason, the board approved a slight decrease in turkey permits for next spring's hunts." Mitchell said that included in the 1.355 birds released in the state, 484 were Rio Grande turkeys imported from Kansas and South Dakota. These were supplemented by 541 Rio Grande birds and 158 Merriam's turkeys trapped within the state and moved to help increase distribution and begin new populations. popula-tions. In addition to the permit decreases, decreas-es, the board approved a 2 year waiting period for hunters who draw a turkey permits. "Interest in wild turkey hunting in Utah has escalated considerably and many people have waited a bng time to draw a permit." Mitchell explained. "Establishing a 2-year waiting period for both subspecies of turkeys in Utah, and changing the bonus point system so people w ith the most bonus points have the best chance possible of drawing a permit, are two things that could be done to get these people involved in wild turkey hunting.' Mitchell added More than 9,000 applications applica-tions were received for the 1.332 permit that were available this year. A proposal presented by the National Wild Turkey Foundation and a stale sportsmen organization lo set aside 1 5 percent of the annual turkey permits for youth hunters was approved by the board. The licenses will be for young people between 12 and 18 years of age and will begin in 2003. The Division of Wildlife Resources also supported support-ed this proposal." Mitchell said. The future of wildlife conservation rests with our youth and we'd like to see more of them excited about and involved in wild turkey hunting hunt-ing " The drawing application period peri-od for 2003 wild turkey permits will be Dec. 3 - 30.
