Moss Wins NRA Award The National Rifle Association has selected senator Frank E. as a recipient of its Moss "Defender of Individual Rights" award. "Senator Moss is a staunch citidefender of the zens' right to firearms," stated Harlon B. Carter, Executive Director of theNRA's Institute for Legislative Action. Governmental Affairs Director and chief lobbyist Richard L. Corrigan stated, "As Chairman of the Consumers Subcommittee of Senate Commerce Committee, Senator Moss was instrumental in passing an amendment to the Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvements Act that stated that the CPSC had no jurisdiction over firearms and ammunition. This stopped the Committee for Handgun Control from forcing the CPSC to consider banning handgun bullets as g "hazardous substances." Sen. Moss, a native Utahn, has represented the state in the U.S. Senate since 1958. Formerly an attorney with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he later served as for Salt Lake Judge City, and County Attorney for Salt Lake County. The awards was program initiated as a means of expressing the appreciation of the NRA's over one million members to Members of Congress who have played a significang role in the battle against restrictive gun control legislation.

Open Bull Elk Hunt Begins Utah's big game seasons continue to open and take hunters afield in search of success. Open bull elk hunting begins Wednesday, Sept. 29. The hunt continues through Oct. 17. Early predictions for this year's hunt indicate good chances for hunter success, according to Homer Stapley, assistant chief of Game Management. Stapley said that the open bull elk season should offer equal opportunities as 1975. Stapley added, "Hunters arc advised to be prepared to take care of the elk harvested. Canvas bags to cover the carcass to protect it from blow flies; and opening up the back between the shoulder blades helps to cool the animal, preventing spoilage. A compact block and tackle to hoist " the animal is also helpful. There is no reason for an animal to spoil if these precautions are taken." In 1975 a total of 17,601 open bull elk permits were sold and 16,652 hunters actually went out in search of elk during the open bull season. There were 1,645 bulls harvested for a success ratio of ten percent. Stapley added, "Ten percent success may seem low at First glance, but sportsmen who have hunted elk in Utah's rugged mountains know that it is anything but an easy hunt." A total of 17,551 open bull elk permits were sold this year to resident hunters, while 101 nonresident permits were purchased. The larges number were sold in the Salt Lake Office with the Central and Northern regions selling 3,932 and 3,625 permits.

Elk hunts in Utah were on a limited basis until 1967 when the Board of Big Game Control authorized the first "Open Bull" hunt. This type hunt was in force on five elk units during this initial year. Three additional units were added in 1968 and maintained in 1969, and in 1970 open bull hunting was extended statewide, except for the Heaston and Indian Peaks units. The open bull type hunt continues. No Bobcat Hunting in Utah Recent wildlife changes, placing bobcats under the control of the Wildlife Damage Prevention Board (Department of Agriculture) and the recinding of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources night hunting proclamation, have closed bobcat hunting in Utah.

He spoke in person to the conferees' vice chairman. Howard Baker. "In a session full of difficult and complex legislation, certainly the Clean Air Act Amendments Bill is among the most complex," Senator Garn said. "I have objected many times to the possibility that this bill, with its tremendous impact on certain parts of the country, might be brought to the floor of the Senate under a timetable that would make full discussion of its provisions difficult if not impossible. "At the present time, the bill is "At the present time the bill is in conference where members of the Senate Public Works Committee are trying to work out an accommodation with an equally complex House bill.
