"I never saw a cougar. In the last six; years I have seen a cougar every year, one year I saw two," said Hansen. Earl Southerland said hunters using permits were interested in taking the large male tom. The big mature toms help keep the cougar population under control by killing even the kittens. Few males are needed for reproduction and a large female population resulted. One solution may be to allow hunting of the female cougar. Mayor Steele said he thought the state should set up a pro- gram for reimbursing the farmer and rancher who suffered depredation from game animals. The sportsman could pay more for a license, said Steele, and the money should be used to reimburse the rancher fairly C Dave Worwood asked why the number of elk on Nebo was being held to 1,000 "Why is the number so conservative?" he asked. "Why not shoot for 1,400?" Morris said he honestly thought the range would han- dle 1,400 elk. ; As for deer, said Morris allowing the yearling deer hunt had not adversely affected the population. A large group of males would die naturally at six years. Others would die in the first year. "We harvest those who would die naturally," he said. The older male deer, with a life span of 16 years, could provide an adequate number of offspring to repopulate the herd. money too! See your local plumbing and heating contractor today!
