Prehistoric evidence indicates that' Utah was once home to offered its National Park to Mount Timpanogos in Utah County. The goats explored and used the en- tire mountain during the summer and fall and moved to the south end to winter. In 1989, this population was estimated at 80 animals. Ten animals were released on Mount Olympus in Salt Lake County in June of 1982. These goats were also obtained from Olympic National Park. In July of 1986, six mountain goats (one male and five females) were captured in the Lone Peak area using net guns and helicopters and transplanted onto the Tushar Mountains east of Beaver. In September, an additional billy was captured and released on the Tushars to ensure reproductive success. These animals were all released in the Mount Holly area and soon dispersed throughout suitable habitat. During the summer of 1987, eight goats were again captured from the Lone Peak area and moved onto Bald Mountain in the western portion of the Uinta Mountain Range. In 1988, 34 more mountain goats were captured in Olympic National Park. Ten nannies and seven billies were released at the Mount Holly location and the remainder released onto Mount Baldy to supplement earlier transplants. In 1989, nine goats were re- tified suitable habitat areas around the state for goats and initiated an effort to bring goats back to Utah. In 1967, six goats, leased into the Whiterocks two adult males, or billies, and Drainage on the south slope of four females, or nannies, were the Uintas.

Between 1981 and 1992, 49 hunters went afield in Utah to harvest 36 male and 10 female mountain goats. In 1994, four resident permits are available for the Lone Peak Unit, two for Box Elder Peak, two for Mount Timpanogos, one for the Tushar Mountains and one for Bald Mountain. Mountain goat hunting is a opportunity in Utah. Nonresidents must bid for Conservation Permits to be able to hunt mountain goats in Utah. In 1994, the minimum bid for mountain goats was $5,000. Moneys donated through the bid process are used strictly for mountain goat management in Utah.

Most restaurants in New Orleans list crayfish at least once on their menus. But crayfish are an overlooked delicacy in Utah. Utah has many crayfish waters, including Lake Powell, Deer Creek, Big Sandwash, Bullock, Starvation, Flaming Gorge and Steinaker Reservoirs. There is no bag or possession limit on crayfish, but an angler does need a current Utah fishing or combination license. There are lots of ways to catch crayfish. The easiest is to tie a string around a large piece of bait, toss it a few feet out into the water, wait for a few minutes and then pull it in. The crayfish will usually cling to the bait long enough to net them or shake them into a bucket. Smelly and slightly spoiled meats are probably the best baits but chicken bones from a picnic lunch can be used to catch dinner. Crayfish are easy to catch and very good to eat. There is only one major regulation on crayfish. Live crayfish cannot be transported.

WELL GET YOU Utah regulations allow a crayfish angler to use up to five lines. Hooks are not needed. In fact, the regulations prohibit the use of hooks on a crayfish line. Just tie the bait to the line. Traps, dip nets and seines can also be used for crayfish. Traps are sold by most sporting goods stores or can be easily made out of old screens, chicken wire or wooden slats. For daylight trapping, try using an open type trap that can be pulled up and inspected often. Traps with a small crawl-i- n opening are better for overnight trapping. When baiting a trap, remember to anchor the bait to the trap so the Crayfish deteriorate rapidly and like most shellfish they produce a poisonous toxin as they decompose. For this reason be extremely careful if you don't plan on eating them immediately. Keep them alive by placing them in holding pen in Hie lake or by packing the crayfish into a large container between layers of damp fabric such as burlap or gunny sacks. Place ice cm the fabric but not directly on the crayfish to keep the container and crayfish cool. Dont try to keep them alive in a bucket of water because they will quickly use up the available oxygen and 1 E&C3 VctCFulcry Gil!c Th3 Utah waters where theyre found crayfish dont steal it.
