Standardized season dates will provide more consistency and will be less confusing for hunters, said Dean Mitchell, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Re- sources. Mitchell says the weather, and aggressive efforts by the DWR, the National Wild Turkey Federation and Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife to increase Utahs wild turkey populations, are among the reasons for the permit increase. The weather this year has been very favorable for wild turkeys, Mitchell said. This past winter was closer to normal but fairly mild through most of the state, and very few turkeys were lost. Since then, weve received good rainfall that has provided the food and nesting cover the birds need. Our biologists in the field re scoring. Corporation (435) Feb. 2, 2005.1, held in April and May. To ensure hunting seasons wont interfere with spring turkey breeding activities, board members also approved later also provided habitat and that the birds will need this winter. Barring a really severe winter, there should be good numbers of wild turkeys when the hunting seasons open next spring, he said. Aggressive efforts to bring more wild turkeys into Utah, and move birds already in Utah to new areas ofthe state, have also helped Utahs turkey populations grow. This past winter, a total of 711 Rio Grande wild turkeys were brought into Utah from Okla-- . homa, South Dakota and Texas. In addition, 531 Rio Grandes and 139 Merriams were moved within Utah. Most of these turkeys were moved into new areas. The second major reason for the proposed permit increase is a better understanding about wild turkeys in Utah. Less than 10 years ago, we didnt have many wild turkeys in the state. Since then, weve learned a lot about wild turkey biology and how they adapt to Utahs habitats and climatic conditions." cover 27-1- Emergency Medicine, Otorhinolaryngology, Neck & Head Plastics Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Utah and a better understanding of how the birds adapt once they arrive in the state have led to the biggest increase in wild turkey hunting permits ever approved in Utah. At its Oct. 7 meeting in Salt Lake City, the Utah Wildlife Board approved a 58 percent increase in the number of public wild turkey permits available for hunts in spring 2005. A total of 1,306 Rio Grande permits will be available next spring, compared to 733 in 2004. A total of 501 Merriams permits will also be available, compared to 410 this past spring. Applications for permits will be available by Nov. 30. Applications must be received no later than Dec. 21 to be included in the draw for permits. Draw results will be posted by ported seeing good numbers of young turkeys in the population this summer. Mitchell says the rain has starting dates for many hunts. For example, most Rio Grande hunts will start at least one week later than past years. The board also approved 630 West 400 North Moab, Utah 84532 Grand still wasnt done offensively, however. Bates managed to intercept the ball on North Summits next possession and run it back to the 20.
