The board also voted to keep Utahs general buck deer permits capped at 97,000. The board took these actions at an April 3 meeting in Salt Lake City. Since we went to the 97,000 permit cap, 10 percent of the total number of general buck deer permits in Utah have been available to nonresidents, said Jim Karpowitz, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. In the past, however, that distribution hasnt been equal among the regions. There was a higher percentage of nonresident permits in the Southern and South- eastern regions, and a History Through Indian Eyes; 2nd place, Jared Terry, Cade Ward, Justin Esp-li- and documentary media. n Re- gional History Fair was presented by the Utah History Fair and Snow College.

A total of 966 limited entry bull elk permits will be available, up 108 from the 858 offered last year. Permits to hunt bison on the Henry Mountains in southeastern Utah were also increased. A total of 63 permits will be offered this year, compared to 48 last year. Some of these permits are for cow bison, while most allow hunters to take an animal of either sex. With the current drought conditions, we need to stabilize bison numbers on the Henrys, Karpowitz said. Six permits will be available for experimental Rocky Mountain nanny goat hunts this fall.

In addition, there will not be a limit on the number of permits for each region that can be allotted to dedicated hunters before Utahs 2004 Big Game Draw is held. The programs 10,000 person cap will also remain. Currently, there are about 7,700 hunters in the program. The popular program allows hunters to hunt deer during the general archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons in exchange for volunteer service that benefits Utahs wildlife. Utah Wildlife Board members made their decision at an April 3 meeting in Salt Lake City. The board, which consists of seven citizens appointed by Gov. Mike Leavitt, made its decision after hearing presentations from Division of Wildlife Resources staff and citizen representatives from Utahs five Regional Advisory Councils. Some changes that could be approved in the coming months are designed to help those serving in the military. Board members gave a nod of patriotic support to our troops, said Larry Dalton, Conservation Outreach Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

Currently, Utahns who serve with the military outside the state for at least one year can have those requirements waived, but theyre not allowed to obtain a deer hunting permit through the Dedicated Hunter program that year. Board members directed the DWR to look at revising the iule, so military personnel could still obtain a hunting permit. This would allow military personnel a chance to hunt, if they could make it back to Utah for a few days during the hunting season, Dalton said. He also said the DWR will' look at the possibility of al- lowing military personnel to complete their .wildlife conservation project in the area of the country where theyre serving. If they cant complete a conservation project because theyre serving in a foreign country, the requirement could be waived and they could still obtain a hunting permit. Well draft a revised rule and take it to the public for input at the series of RAC meetings in May and June, Dalton said. The Dedicated Hunter program started in 1995, after Utah went to a deer hunting strategy that allowed hunters to hunt only one of three seasons. In addition to the volunteer service dedicated hunters provide, Dalton says they also aid the DWR in mule deer conservation. Those in the program are allowed to take only two buck deer during their three-yea- r enrollment period, he said. In reality, a dedicated hunter harvests just one buck every four years. overhead about 9:03 and then set in the southeast at 9:05.
