And the end result is the illegal killing of deer and, in some cases, sheep and cattle by hunters who think the blunt, rubber-tippe- d arrows do no damage. According to Cherry, it goes beyond damage. "What these people are doing is trying to get their range by shooting blunts. While they may think they are practicing, they are killing deer. When the blunts hit they have a terrific amount of force. By ROD COLLETT Associate Sports Editor Stories of cars hitting deer in local canyons is nothing new along the Wasatch Front, especially with the encroachment of man on the animals' traditional range. Now comes of dozens of alarming reports deer being killed by archery hunters who practice not with real broadheads, but blunts. But the results are the same, according to Kevin Cherry, a conservation officer with the Yankees powerhouse 1977-7- 8 World Championship teams, announced his retirement. Guidry, 38, had been attempting a comeback with New York's triple-affiliate in Columbus, but had not pitched effectively. The Yankee had a career record of 170-9the fourth best total behind Hall of Famers Whitey Ford, Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez. "These hard rubber ends can pierce the hide, breaking ribs, and rupturing internal organs. Often the deer run off and die somewhere." Cherry said this is not an isolated problem. "Compound bows have increased the problem. They put out a lot of force. Furthermore, practicing on animals like this is against the law and considered poaching." 1, Danny White, who spent 13 years with the Dallas Cowboys, retired from a team suddenly stocked with a flock of young quarterbacks. White, 37, made the decision after a meeting with Jimmy Johnson, who replaced Tom Landry as coach when Jerry Jones bought the team in February.

Especially if your outdoor equipment doesn't include an armored personnel carrier or a half track. The road is long, with sharp inclines and hills full of washboard trailer testers. It's located past Strawberry and Soldier Creek on Highway 40 en route to Fruitland. The turnoff is just 200 yards before the Currant Creek Lodge and The Road winds its way for 18 miles through a narrow valley harboring the twisting trickle of slow moving Current Creek. Half the visitors don't mind The Road because it keeps Currant Creek remote and a secret. The other half become angry by the time they reach the campgrounds. Nearly everyone is puzzled by the failure to build an access road across the front of the dam where the camping facilities are set alongside the mountain just a short mile. Instead, to get to camping, drivers must endure a seven mile, trip around the entire lake. It's real exciting after a trip on a dirt Creek.
