Show Thursday, December 2, 2004 Page BIO Heard Around the West joked that hes ready for a tame job in a coffee shop, the kind where people come to you for something they want, you give it them, and they thank you. UTAH by Betsy Marston, regional news analyst Thanks to the Country Canyon Zephyr, we saw a list of WYOMING A man working in a brushy area of his horse pasture in Big Horn, Wyo., looked over his shoulder and suddenly noticed hed been stalked: A mountain lion stood 10 feet away. The man, who told the Cody Enterprise he wished to remain anonymous, did everything right: He straightened up, yelled and banged his shovel to appear threatening. The lion stayed put. When the man tried to edge away, the lion charged. But the man still had his shovel, and he swung it at the lion and connected, while also shouting for help. The combination did the trick, and the lion retreated; later, the animal was treed by dogs and shot by state wildlife officers. COLORADO On Oct. 22, a dozen or so skiers in Silverton in western Colorado, couldn't wait for the ski season to begin: Ten inches had fallen on the town, nestled high in the mountains at 10,000 d Silverton Mounfeet. The skiers headed out to the tain Ski Area and were having a great time, reports the Silverton Standard & the Miner, when they saw a fracture line shoot across the snow above them. An avalanche immediately released, sweeping one skier over a cliff and some 800 to 900 feet down to the valley below. Amazingly, the skier lived to tell the tale, though he was found buried up to his neck in snow that had set like concrete. He suffered mainly from hypothermia. The avalanche had stripped off all his clothes from the waist up. con- stitutional amendments that might just have passed Nov. 2 had they made it onto the state ballot. In the Top 10: All Internet traffic passing through Utah must be baptized at the state line, Separation of church and state shall not exceed three minutes, God shall provide adequate water for lawns in all for years, and the men: Marriage shall consist of a union between a man and as many women as can tolerate him. er still-close- MONTANA Talking about wolves in the middle of the night can make some people trigger-happThat's what happened to a hunter from Florida, who got scared to death by a conversation about wolf packs with a guide and another hunter. Later, when he was alone in the dark near Livingston, Mont., David Williams heard something moving and fired three rounds of his magnum rifle toward the noise. What he hit was his guide, J.C. who'd been Davis, walking his horse toward Williams. The Associated Press said the blast blew a hole in the guide's y. ld MONTANA Brought back to the West in 1995, wolves are Moab-base- d flourish- ing in and around Yellowstone, but they still get in trouble whenever they feast on private property in the form of calves, lambs or llamas. Environmentalists protest that wolves are then killed for doing what comes naturally eating while ranchers complain that wolf packs threaten their livelihood. The man dealing with their criticism for the last decade has been Ed Bangs, team leader for wolf recovery for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bangs isn't retiring, but he's looking to pass on his hot seat to Montana staffers at the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Let the state decide when and where to kill causing wolves, he told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. Bangs .300-calib- er ld problem-- Attend the to stay stableneed Black bear hunt limits the the number black 2005 will be the last year of a experiment to see if hunting black bears in .the spring results in hunters taking fewer female bears in Utah. To make sure Division of Wildlife Resources biologists look at data thats consistent, theyll recommend about the same number of black bear hunting permits for 2005 as they did for 2004. The data we have also five-ye- ar UHP interrupts transport of 30 lbs. of marijuana lane travel drew Improper the attention of Utah Highway Patrol officers in San Juan County last Monday night, when they found 30 pounds of marijuana en route from Mexico to Denver. Humberto Flores, 25, and Manuel Benitz, 21, were taken into custody for suspicion of possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Both driver and passenger are Mexican Nationals, and according to UHP Sergeant Rick Eldridge, their stories didnt match when they were stopped for traffic violations. The report says they crossed the center line several times, appearing as though they were either sleepy or possibly intoxicated, Sgt. of indicates bears in Utah is stable, or is increasing slightly, which is another reason were recom- lowed in mending permit numbers that are similar to this past season, said Kevin Bunnell, mammals coordinator for the DWR. People may learn more about the proposals, and provide their input and suggestions, at an upcoming series of public meetings. Citizens representing Utahs five fall. We one more year of good data before we can draw our final conclusions, Bunnell said. Bunnell says there are two main reasons fewer females are usually taken in the spring. Male bears usually emerge from their dens earlier in the spring than females do, and the spring hunt dates have been set to increase the chance of hunters encountering male bears, he said. Also, a females cubs tend to stay closer to her in the spring than they do later in the year, and harvesting females with cubs is prohibited. The DWR is recommending a total of 236 public permits for 2005 compared to 226 in 2004. The Book Cliffs unit in eastern Utah and the two South Slope units in northeastern Utah are the only Re- gional Advisory Councils will take the public input received to the Utah Wildlife Board when it meets Jan. 4, 2005 to approve Utahs 2005 Black Bear Proclamation. The Southeast Region meeting will be held on Dec. 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River, 886 E. Main. The public is welcome. The Utah Wildlife Board experiapproved the five-yemental spring bear hunt in 2000. Bunnell says since the spring hunt started in 2001, fewer female bears have been taken on the four units where spring hunting is allowed compared to four similar units where hunting is al units where significant in- creases are being proposed. The DWR is recommending 30 permits for the Book Cliffs unit in 2005, compared to 24 in 2004. For the two South Slope units, the division is recommending a total of 22 permits for 2005, compared to 15 in 2004. ar j) Eldridge said. The two men were northbound on U.S. Hwy.191 near Monticello in a 1995 Dodge Intrepid. Sgt. Eldridge said that although they are citizens of Mexico, they had been residing in Phoenix, Arizona. We believe they go back and forth to Denver, and keep a place in Phoenix, he said. Both men are being held at the San Juan County jail.
