Snow geese, ice fishing and photographing coyotes will be featured Feb. 28 on Utah Wild, airing at 7:30 a.m. on KUED channel 7. In addition, the beauty of southern Utah in the wintertime will be viewed during the program. Mike Radice, videographer for the program reported, "Our Feb. 28 program looks closely at how erosion has carved some of the most spectacular views anywhere in the world. With a mild winter upon us, this is a great season to explore some of winter's 'other' recreational hot spots. We kick the show off with a trip to Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab." During the winter months, much of this area is quiet, with vistas, powerful providing a nearby destination vacation. Viewers will be taken g skiing and through Bryce Canyon National Park near Panguitch. Radice continued, "The spectacle of red hoodoos against the white snow may remind you of nature's version of carrot cake. Bryce is open in the winter and its roads make viewing over the canyon rim very easy.

In the show's Wildlife News segment, viewers will follow a transplant of Rocky Mountain elk from Utah's Oquirrh Mountains to Kentucky. Radice explained, "As part of a national effort to repopulate elk to historic range in the Blue Grass State, Utah will provide upwards of 200 elk over the next two months. The last recorded sighting of an eastern elk in Kentucky was in 1847." Tips for ice fishing success will also be covered, according to Radice, "Ice fishing is one of the easiest and least expensive sports for wintertime fun. Other than an ice auger, any tackle you use for trout or during the summer will work to catch them through the ice. We'll provide some tips." "Finally, February would not be the same if we did not recognize the early spring ritual of migrating snow geese through Delta," Radice said. "We'll check on their condition and talk about the Division's Snow Goose festival in March." In the show's Photo Tip segment, outdoor photographer Lynn Chamberlain gives tips on calling in predators, providing some great opportunities to photograph coyotes. pan-fis- h REFINANCE RENEWAL We Now Represent; .m.
