Show tf-Uk and Qame GammUiion Repaid Harvest 111.917 Deer Deer hunters in Utah "harvested 111,917 animals during the 1955 hunting seasons, according to recently re-cently compiled data from department depart-ment of fish and game offices. This figure shows an increase of 4,021 deer over the 1954 kill of 107,896 animals taken by hunters during the previous year. It is an all time high, according to department depart-ment records. These final figures are annually compiled from hunter kill card reports, re-ports, checking station records, checks of hunters afield and other sources. They show that during 1955, 139,673 hunters were properly licensed li-censed to hunt deer In Utah, either through the purchase of a big game or combination hunting and fishing license. Of this number, 10.370 did not hunt, leaving 129,303 hunters afield during the seasons. Of the total kill. 93,541 deer were taken on the regular license. The balance, or 18,376, were harvested on special, or extra, deer tags to bring the final total to the above 111,917 animals. Hunter success remained high as 72.3 of all regular license hunters hun-ters bagged an animal. Hunters who purchased additional anterless deer tags on ten management units achieved a 67 success, while special permit hunts showed an 80.2 success. Total kill records, including all deer hunts, Indicated a 67 buck and 33 doe harvest for 1955. Several factors are listed as being be-ing the chief reasons for the high total kill and the continuing good hunter success ratio. Records show the best hunter distribution over the state was achieved during the past year. This is credited to the diversity of seasons sea-sons scheduled 'by the Board of Big Game Control to attract hunters hun-ters Into problem areas. Also noted are many new access roads into hunting areas, lack of heavy foliage combined with ideal weather In most sections during the general season in October, and the greatest number of hunters afield for deer in the state's history. ' Bevegetettion Project Game and range managers are watching closely, and with keen interest, the continuing cooperative game forage revegetation project being conducted jointly by the In-termountain In-termountain Forest end Range experiment ex-periment Station and the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The project, started a year ago, was set up by the two agencies to find a practical method for restor ing game forage plants orr deplet ed ranges. The work deals chiefly with methods to bring back andlor build up one or more of several browse species on big game animal winter ranges. These ranges are generally limited and form the key to big game herd numbers on nearly near-ly all ranges in the state. Headquarters for the project Is the Great Basin Research Center at Ephraim. Early work has included pilot plantings of browse in several range areas. Most recent of these are two plots, one of two acres In Salina Canyon, and one of four acres east of Levan. Experimental plantings will con' tinue this year with the use of seed, nursery raised stock, and rooted cuttings, from wild browse plants. Several new cultural meth ods will be attempted on represen tative ranges needing improve ment Early results to date forecast an optomistic outlook that a plan and method may one day be developed to revegetate browse species on depleted ranges as facts are gained gain-ed through the project in this and the years ahead.

They are conducted by game managers and field men of the department, the forest service, ser-vice, and the bureau of land management. Purpos of the surveys is to de termine feed conditions following winter use and to make trend counts of big game on the ranges. Information gathered Is compiled for each big game herd area by the three agencies Involved. These facts are then considered closely by the Utah Board of Big Game Control In setting up the fall hunts for each big game unit. The department urged anyone Interested In taking part In one or-more of these rides to contact their local field man for any of the three management agencies listed above. The rides present an opportunity for Individuals and organizations alike to aid in the annual survey work and view at the same time the critical winter range areas that are the key to big game herd numbers. The department noted that rides are being scheduled to cover all these ranges during the weeks prior to April 15. Plant Red-Leg Partridges A plant of 136 red-leg partridges was made near New Harmony In Washington County early this week, the Utah Department of Fish and Game said today. The department said this was the first plant of this upland game bird In the state's history. The release of red-legs forms another attempt to establish new upland game bird species in Utah. The birds were received by airfreight air-freight from Spain where they were trapped in the wild by Dr. Gardiner Bump under a cooperative cooperat-ive program conducted by the department de-partment with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serviee and the Wildlife Management Institute. The experimental introduction of the red-leg partridge into this and other areas of the state may result re-sult In future hunting for an additional addi-tional game bird. This species Is about twice the size of an ordinary quaiL Eight of the 1 birds received were taken to the Price Game Bird farm for experimental game farm studies.
