"The primary food of swans is sego pondweed," said Huener. "Before the lake flooded, Utah's waterfowl management areas were feedlots for swans where they would stay for several weeks and often increase the population to more than 40,000." The first tundra swans of the season are migrating into Utah and Joel Huener, waterfowl biologist with the Division of Wildlife Resources, says now is the time for holders of the limited number of swan permits to go hunting. A fair number of birds are in right now, mostly congregated in the northern part of the Great Salt Lake. "These particular birds will probably stay in the area for a few days and move on," said Huener. Swans will be moving through Utah during the next few weeks and waterfowl hunters should not wait until late November to hunt According to Huener, many would linger well into the winter. Now, because of rising lake waters, most of their habitat is destroyed, so the birds come into Utah and stay only a few days before moving on. "When our habitat is restored,-thswan population will respond," said Huener. "Five years ago, thousands of swans moved in and out of Ogden Bay and Howard Slough waterfowl management areas. Today, they no longer fly that route." Huener's tips for hunters: Start scouting swans right away; look in a variety of areas around the north end of the Great Salt Lake (there are also small isolated pockets in e central and southern Utah that swans frequent); become familiar with the waterfowl proclamation for regulations on steel shot and closure in early the two-wee- k , Officials concerned about hunting-relate- d Most hunting-relate- d accidents could be prevented... Ed Cornia Hunter education coordinator 99 Four hunters have died by accident this year as compared to only one accidental death during the three years prior to 1987. "Most of the hunting-relate- d acc- idents could be prevented if hunters r accidents followed one basic rule," said 66 d Vonison sticks rocipo With the general deer season coming to a close, Garth Carter, wildlife division information people may be manager, says a for variety of ways to looking cook venison. Carter's recommendation? Venison sticks, a recipe from Bradford Angier's Cooking Venison and other Natural Meats is a tasty change from the usual venison fare. A booklet, Venison: some Field Care and Cooking, produced by Utah State University in conjunction with the Division of Wildlife Resources, is available at the division office for 50 cents.

Although the number of hunting accidents for the state is not above normal, there is concern when four of this year's hunting accidents resulted in fatalities. Ed Cornia, hunter education coordinator for the division, said, "It's unusual to have more than half of the hunting accidents result in wildlife brle?s Cor- nia. "Never point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot. A new law, which becomes effective next year, should help prevent future hunting accidents." On Jan. 1, 1988, any person born after Dec. 31, 1965, must show proof of certification in hunter education prior to purchasing a hunting license. "Over the course of time, all people who hunt in the state will be certified in hunter education training before purchasing a hunting license," said Cornia. the country. The Division of Wildlife Resources is evaluating Utah's aquatic habitats in an effort to connect the right existing habitat with the proper species, providing a variety of opportunities for Utah's anglers. Recent fisheries studies indicate that successful spawning has occurred at Piute and Newcastle reservoirs. Cooso regulations Hunters should be aware of the regulations for geese in parts of Daggett County. The county has a more conservative bag limit than other areas in the state. The season runs through Dec. 6 with a daily bag limit of one and a possession limit of two.
