Show FISH AND GAME HIGHLIGHTS MOST DEER UNITS CLOSE TO HUNTING OCTOBER 30 Utah's general deer hunting season sea-son comes to a close on most hunting hunt-ing units across the state Oct. 30, with field reports and information from key check points presently indicating that an average number of animals will be harvested from the state's 62 deer units. Mild weather, a general lack of foliage and accessibility into most of the deer hunting country is expected ex-pected to account for another good harvest year, according to ihe Department De-partment of Fish and Game. Holders of a regular license and tag who fail to bag a deer during the regular season may still go a-field a-field to hunt during extended seasons sea-sons on some herd units. Anyone planning to do so should be certain of the hunting unit boundaries before be-fore going afield. Units with extended seasons and all rules and regulations governing these hunts are shown in the 1962 deer hunting proclamations which are available from Department offices of-fices or from license agents. A total of 1066 deer were checked check-ed through the Santa Clara station by 1107 non-resident hunters the opening week end of the general season, with a ratio about 2 to I bucks over antlerless deer. This total averages out to a 96 success ratio, just slightly below the average at this time a year ago. |
