Pitman noted that Angling pressure has been low for this species the past seyears. Perhaps the extended season in 1974 which allows fishing through April than Feb. 15 will bring more press- ure on whitefish. ; YEAR ROUND FISHING WATERS WORTH horns complete their first season, the sur- -; rival rate improves. Lamb crops andsur-vtv- al during the past two years are enco- i waging , according to Stapley. Data taken this year indicates a ratio of 40 lambs per 100 ewes. Ewes rarely have more than one lamb. B is a Division objective to learn more about the bighorn so that the species can be maintained in healthy condition and op- -: timum numbers according to what the ha- bltat will support. Trophy rams have been taken in past hunting seasons. There was no hunt this year due to the study. - NIGHT HUNT REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED. i Although Utah's 1973 regular fishing season closed Nov. 30, anglers can have luck on waters open to year round fishing. Pelican Lake southwest of Vernal provides great fishing for bass and blue gill, Flaming Gorge, a good spot all year rou-n- d, and Big Brush Creek, below Highway ;.J 41, have trout biting all 12 months. Utah Lake is- producing some iftTTHi largemouth bass. The harbor area oflbat ' lake is also yielding white bass. YubaRe-- T ; servoir, which will freeze later In the winter, has good populations of perch and walleye and is receiving little pressure on these species, according to Div. of Wildlite Res. fisheries experts, some two and three pound rainbows are reportedly being taken from North Hun- tington Reservoir Cottonwood creek and : Huntington Creek, below forest boundar- - j ies, are not receiving much pressure, but would be well worth a visit according to t Lie southeastern regional fisheries mana- - . ger. The Fremont River in southern Utah has been praised as an excellant brown trout fishery. Anglers can makethat discovery for themselves on a year round basis. Lake Powell is always a bright attaz-cti- on for anglers. We?.', The lower Logan River in northern Utah should be a good spot tor fisherman after brown trout and cutthroat. The Little Bear River, also in the Cache Valley, was.' also named by fisheries biologists as wor- thwhile to visit. The Ogden River has po- -Filiations of brown trout up to ten Inches ' long and the inlet of Willard Bay is yielding crappie. ; en. Hunters must possess a certificate of registration for night hunting available at Division of Wildlife Resources offices at no charge. The certificates will be used on a statewide basis, but are valid only when used In conjunction with a written permit Issued by the sheriff of the county in which the hunting occurs. individuals between the ages of 12 and 16 may hunt at night provided they have a certificate and are accompanied by an lt. No one under 12 may hunt. Hunting from or along roadways is prohibited. Also prohibited are shooting from a vehicle, from or across a roadway, and possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, B Is illegal to hunt within one mile of an occupied dwelling, or within one half mile of corralled or flocked livestock. Sport hunting at night is not allowed Aug. 1 through Nov. 15. Violations of the outlined regulations will result in the revocation of night hunting privileges and will be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. Landowners may take depredating, unprotected terrestrial wildlife with an art-lfilight at any time on private lands under their control. a o-- nly ad-u- . BIGHORN WILDLIFE LAW VIOLATORS FINED $17,600. Wildlife law violators were fined more than $17,600 in Utah courts in Sept, and October, and sentenced to a total of 144 days in jail. judges, however, suspended nearly $2,800 of the fines and all 144 jail days. A total of 608 cases were handled during those two months. Once again, anglers topped the list of wildlife law violators. According to the monthly arrest reports of the Div. of Wildlife Res., 197 cases dealing with fishing regulations violations were heard by the courts. New rules and regulations for night hunting adopted by the Wildlife Board have become effective this month. Only coyotes, bobcats, foxes, skunks, and jackrabblts may be taken by persons using artificial light. No other forms of terrestrial and avian wildlife may be tak- ji VKITKG.

This is flagrant abuse of the fisheries resource, say Div. experts, who noted that license monies are utilized for providing good fishing forthe public. One of the Div. law enforcement goals is to curtail such violations. Next on the list of Infractlons were ge- neral Illegalities dealing with licenses. The 102 cases included nonresidents, possessing or attempting to buy resident licenses. Migratory and upland game bird proclamation violations numbered 85 in the two month period. The two most common infringements in this category were carrying a loaded firearm In a vehicle, and y. shooting from a vehicle or across a by Elaine Hatch Equip your car with a few essential items. This precaution could mean the difference between life and death if a winter storm should strand you in an isolated area, noted spencer H. Daines, Extension engineer, Utah state University. He suggested, Follow the usual precautions of taking along tire chains, shovel, flashlight , and keeping the car in good winter driving condltin. Also, consider including these Hems; extra warm clothing, blankets, and heavy sleeping bags to keep warm, a can of candles and matches to melt snow tor drinking water, and some high energy food such as candy, canned beans, wheat and dried fruits to provide needed energy. He cautioned, Use emergency car heaters with care. Leave a window slightly open to provide oxygen and allow moisture to escape. Always travel with the gas tank as full as practical. A half tank of gas should run the engine at idle for eight to ten hours, but be sure that you allow adequate ventilation, if the car Is to run to provide heat. If you do become stalled in heavy snow during a storm and you can keep warm, It Is best to stay in the car. newspapers Three persons were also arrested for taking elk out of season, and two were arrested for taking deer out ot season during fireplace could spell the difference between toasty and chilly ones.

How about using those stacks of newspapers piling up in the hallway or porch shelf.

SHEEP STUDY CONTINUED'-- - Division of Wildlife Resources game biologists tills month arebeginningthese-con- d pliase of a study of Utah's deeert bl- - c giiorn sheep in san Juan county, The studies were- initiated a year ago to better understand the movement and of two populations. At that time 12 sheep representing both population ns were immobilized with drugs. Radio telemetry equipment and colored collars attached to them so they could be monitored for the next several months by a wwane and ground surveys. f it The second phase of the study will be to attach radio telemetry equipment and collars to ten more bighorns representing various age classes at both sezes. This will simply broaden the scope of thestudy with a larger number of animals under .. possibly different conditions, Le. , wea- -' ther, area. The drugs used to immobilize the animals has no adverse, nor lasting, ' elfects. preliminary results from the first year of the study indicate that movement can be confined to both very narrow areas for some sheep, and home ranges as large as 15 miles In area for others. For example, one ewy moved from the Gypsums Canyon area and crossed in a glgsag pattern to the . formidable Dark Cdnyon; then returned ? different route to the arm ly an apparent where she was first immobilized and marked nearly 30 miles round trip as the crow flies. Very little was known about the desert bighorn up to five or six years ago, according to Homer Stapley, assistant game management chief. Their habitat is very remote, rugged and inaccessible.
