Place the more valuable hay in the center and higher in the stack Folklore says when plants bear fruit on higher branches, winter snowfall will be heavy. If this holds true, we may be in for another heavy snowfall this where the animals will be less likely .to reach it. winter. To A better predictor of this happening is the kind of weather we've had this past spring and summer. Although heavy snows are assist farmers and landowners in managing big game depredation of livestock winter hay supplies, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources furnishes permanent fencing. Landowners experiencing recurring depredations should use this service. In return for fencing materials, landowners sign a receipt saying the material will be used for a stackyard to keep big game out. Landowners also agree to build and maintain the stackyard. Landowners and hunters can also cooperate to minimize depredation losses. Landowners can do this by allowing big game hunting access. Hunters can help by asking permission to hunt and by hunting in areas where high winter concentrations of big game occur. Prevention is the key to managing the big game depredations on winter hay supplies. Contact your local USU County Extension or local Utah Department of Wildlife Resources conservation officer to learn more about how you can reduce hay losses from big good for the skiing industry, they can make life difficult for Utah's big game populations. The price area wildlife pays largely depends on the cond- ition of the winter range. However, even in areas where the winter range is in good shape, record snowfalls could make much of their traditional win- ter foods inaccessible. Experience teaches us that the diets of wildlife through the critical winter season fol- low a typical sequence. As one group of foods become scarce or unavailable, a second is taken, and so on. Heavy snows cover-- . ing traditional food supplies can alter traditional feeding sequences, forcing them to use alternative energy sources, such as haystacks. Now is the time to implement preventive measures to keep deer and elk out of your haystacks. Proper hay storage in the fall is better than trying to keep trespassing animals out of haystacks in the winter. Keep your stacks and hay bales in one area, preferably a fenced hay yard or farm yard. When stacking large round bales, stack the first layer on end to keep the deer from climbing them. , In addition, take an injyn- - game. See the Times-New- s for printing! rr The secret to good meat is to field dress the animal quickly ; and cleanly. Three things will cause the meat to spoil; dirt, ; heat, and moisture. So keep the meat clean and cool, and; keep it away from insects and ' ; hot moist areas. On a hot day, its best to get ; your animal to a cooler as quickly as possible even if it means driving off the moun-- ; tain before every one in your ; party has been successful. On mild days, try to keep your meat cool by hanging it in a shady cool place where the cool breezes can reach it. Placing your game in a cheesecloth bag and sprinkling it with black pepper can help control insects. Game spoiled in the field won't taste good on the table no matter how well the cook treated it. ; Daylight savings time ends Sunday On October 31, Daylight Savings Time comes to an end and once again we move our clocks back one hour. The Utah Safety Council reminds you to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and test them to make sure they are working properly. By getting into the habit of changing your batteries at this time, you will always know how old the batteries are. If you haven't yet felt the need to purchase smoke detectors, hopefully this will convince you. It is a myth that you can smell smoke and wake up on your own. Fires produce toxic gases, some of which you can't smell which often kill people long before the fire reaches them. In 1992, there were 3. people killed in Utah fires, none of which had working smoke detectors in their homes. On the e other hand, was killed in Utah fires last year, that; had working smoke detectors. . no-on- Vote n 1 vm K" do umz be held Saturday, October 30th from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dance to the music of will QX, ic- - rVv ft- - g B.B.Q.
