Show Page Twelve Th Springville Public hunting is Public hunting on three National Wildlife Refuges has been upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as one method of Wildlife management for controlling surplus animal populations according to Director Lynn A. Greenwalt of the Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service. The Secretary of the Interior and the Fish and Wildlife Service Ser-vice were challenged in court by the Humane Society of the United States for authorizing public deer hunts involving the use of shotguns with buckshot, bows and arrow, and or muzzle loading rifles at Great Swamp NWR in New Jersey, Eastern Neck NWR in Maryland, and Chincoteague NWR in Virginia. The Humane Soceity argued that the scheduled hunts were not campatible with the primary purposes for which the refuges were established to provide habitat for migratory water- fowl. Hie Society contended that use of the three weapons was contrary con-trary to principles of sound wildlife management. It also argued that the government's data did not support a finding of surplus population of deer or of the present necessity fo these hunts. In addition, the Humane Society argued that public hunting, in these three cases, was inhumane, and violated a public policy requiring humane treatment of animals. The Soceity sought a permanent injunction against the scheduled hunts. The lower court could find no basis on which the injunction sought by the Humane Soceity could be properly granted. The court of appeals likewise found statutory requirement that the Secretary be guided by considerations con-siderations at humaneness in selecting weapons to be used for public hunts. The court agreed that deer populations needed controlling. It further found tht Congress has clearly authorized the Secretary to permit the recreational use of Here is a simple way to tell the temperature: 1) Find a cricket.2) Count the number of times it chirps in 60 seconds. 3) Divide this number by four and add 37.

Contrary to what many people believe, these lands are not lost on county tax rolls. The Division pays an amount in lieu of taxes. Some background was provided by the Division's late Assistant Chief of Field Services Clark D. Davis. "Up until 1961, no consideration was given to the counties in regard to taxes. That year the Division began to receive. Considerable requests from country commissions and livestock and land owners regarding taking acquired land from the tax rolls." "Wishing to enhance our land acquisition program, we proposed to the legislature that year that we pay one-half of the fine money collected for wildlife violations to the counties," he explained. "This bill was supported sup-ported by the state's sportsmen and passed." "In 1963, we discovered the provisions of the law did not equally distribute the fine monies in relation to the amount of land we had acquired in each county," continued Davis. "Counties with high populations and fines but small Division' holdings were receiving more money than counties with lesser fine monies but larger holdings." To resolve the problem, the present law was introduced to the legislature and supported by county , commissions and sportsmen.

The Wildlife Resources Code of Utah sets forth the procedure in Section 23-21-1. Prior to the purchase of any private property, the Division must make a contractual agreement with county commissions in a public meeting to pay an amount in lieu of taxes. Counties must bill the Division before payment can be made. The 18 counties with Division owned lands were paid a total of $43,206.15 in 1973. The ten year total for in lieu of tax payments is 253,631,91, according to Lands Development Supervisor Don R. Christensen. The Division has acquired land from federal and state agencies for which no such payments are made, because those lands were never on tax rolls, he added.

OFFER A IN THE I 1 mirifitim Fish gone from Kamas facility Persons planning to visit the Division of Wildlife Resources Kamas Hatchery should reconsider the trip unless they don't care whether or not they see any fish. And, anyone catching a large fish in waters stocked by the Kamas facility can assume it's probably one of the station's 2,800 kamloop trout spawners. The spawners and 3,100 rainbow th'at were being raised as replacement stock are all being planted in regular stocking trips. Division research biologist Rod Stone reports the fish are being removed from the station due to bacteriological problems. "Two bacteria types have caused losses among the brood stock, and kept them in poor health. Removal of the fish will allow us to disinfect the facility and, hopefully, destroy the bacteria," he explained. One problem in the past has been a lack of oxygen in the water at the facility, added Stone. This has placed a stress on the fish, making them more receptive to bacterial problems. Repair of the station's aeration system to add more oxygen to the water will be made following removal of all the trout. This will improve the environment for fish and help keep them in better condition. There are no immediate plans to replace the brood stock, said Stone, noting that the new J. Perry Egan station will provide future brood stock.
