These enclosures are set up, one a low fence to keep only cattle out of a particular area but over which deer may jump to feed inside, and one area fenced with a high fence to exclude both livestock and deer. Extensive range damage was noted in all areas observed on the rides. On the whole the deer count was under that of last year in two areas, and over on another. As a whole the range is in bad shape the feed just isnt there. In general there is no improvement in the range condition. Keith Norris, Manager of the BLM in Monticello, said the actual attempt to count deer was an inefficient method of determining the number existing. The most effective system, according to the BLM, is to weigh information gathered from many types of studies. Information obtained from these spring deer rides, pellet group counts and utilization studies, is submitted to the Big Game Control Board who determine the number of licenses issued in a particular area. It was noted that one of the most effective means of control-in- g the numbers of deer in San Juan County would be the building of more access roads. Mayor Nelson, Bud Corbin, Bob Dalton, J.
