I look forward to their input on numerous issues. Resource Advisory Councils were established three years ago as part of the BLMs grazing regulations. Their initial task was to help BLM develop standards for determining rangeland health and guidelines for graz tunities for new citizen advisory members to be nominated, selected, and to represent their interests on the council. Shea added, I owe my personal thanks to those members who previously served on the RAC. Theyve helped set the standard for future advisory council members.

On some units deer numbers I jare now close to, or are reaching management objectives, Bates said. Because of this, were reducing the number of cougars that need to be taken in those areas. in 1996, the board directed the Division to draft and implement Predator Management Plans for 15 deer units and subunits where deer were having the most difficult time recovering from the which devaswinter of 1992-9tated many of the states herds. Plans included increasing the number of limited entry cougar permits and the establishment of cougar harvest objective units, as well as USDA Wildlife Services focusing efforts to take coyotes in deer fawning areas. The plans appear to be helping, as deer heids on five of the 15 units are approaching management objectives, or have increased significantly, Bates said. The continued deer herd recovery on these units, and other management units throughout the state, has resulted in a reduction ofthe number of cougars to be taken in various areas, Bates said. The only unit to see a significant increase in the number of cougars to be taken is the Cache Unit, where permit numbers were increased from 16 last season, to 25 for the 1998-9-9 season. The Cache Unit experienced a harsh, late winter, which resulted in about 50 percent of the units fawns being lost The number of cougars observed on the unit, and hit by vehicles on the unit, also has increased. 3, J Number Of Cougars That May Be Taken Utah has 45 cougar management units and subunits.
