The two. men, Danny Adams of Orem and Cliff Leyva of Spanish Fork, were returning to their archery hunting spot near Strawberry Reservoir to retrieve their tree stands from an earlier archery hunt. They stopped and spoke with a hunter in the area who said he was hunting for a spike bull elk (a bull elk that has at least one antler with no branching). After a brief conversation, they walked to their tree stands and were surprised to find a bull dead, mature elk that had recently been shot and left to spoil. The men immediately called wildlife officers and reported the violation. Division of Wildlife Resources Conservation Officer Paul Davis arrived and was escorted to the elk by Adams and Leyva. Because of the they decided to darkness, return at first light the next morning. Upon returning, they found the suspected shooters vehicle still in the area. Shortly after 1 p.m., the suspect returned to his truck and after a short discussion with Davis, admitted shooting the elk and leaving it to waste. Davis removed a bullet from the elk carcass, and the meat and antlers were packed out. Danny and Cliff gave an excellent description of Division of Wildlife Re- sources officials have a goal for elk hunting in Utah in 2004 - make it simpler, fairer and more consistent without sacrificing the quality hunters have come to enjoy. Theyll share their ideas on how to do that at an upcoming series of Regional Advisory Council meetings. People are encouraged to attend the meetings and provide the their input and DWR with ideas. Another major item to Utahs Mule Deer Management ; be discussed will be Plan, which will guide the management of mule deer in Utah through 2008. The DWR is proposing new goals, objectives and strategies to guide the management of Utahs deer herds. Copies of the proposed plan are available on the Meetings portion of the DWRs Internet Web site (wildlife.utah.gov). Copies will also be available at the meetings. The Central Region meeting will be held Nov. 4 at 6: 30 p.m. at the Department of Natural Resources, 1594 West North Temple, Salt Lake City. Among the major big game hunting changes the DWR is recommending for 2004 are the following: Set aside 15 percent of the general buck deer permits in each region for youth hunters ages 14 to 18. Eliminate the second drawing for big game permits and sell permits not taken in the first big game draw in June. over-the-count- Eliminate AR301 archery elk permits. AR301 permits are special archery elk permits that have allowed 300 archers to hunt all of the states general any bull elk units, as well as several spike bull and limited entry units. Allocate limited entry elk permits on all units in a con sistent way, based on weapon type - 25 percent archery, 65 percent any weapon and 10 percent muzzleloader. This distribution would reduce current rifle elk hunting opportunities on some units and increase the number of archers and muzzleloader hunters on the units. This would lay the groundwork for expanded limited entry elk hunting opportunities in the future, because archers and muzzleloader hunters are less successful than rifle hunters. It would also distribute hunting pressure over three hunts, which would lessen hunting pressure during the rifle hunt and provide a better experience for rifle hunters. Eliminate ML300 muzzleloader elk permits and add the 1,300 ML300 permits to the general any bull elk permit cap. This would increase the any bull elk cap to 14,300 permits. When hunters buy which is very helpful in poaching cases such as this, Subscribe Today Davis said. The two witnesses will receive a limited entry bull elk tag next year on the Wasatch Mountain elk unit and a cash reward. These guys did everything right, Davis said. Without their help, we would have never caught this poacher. Anyone with information regarding a wildlife violation should immediately call the Help Stop Poaching Hotline at (3337). The hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. could choose whether they wanted their permit to be a rifle permit or a muzzleloader permit. The thing we keep hearing from elk hunters is that the regulations are too complicated. They also want the regulations to be fairer and more consistent across the board, Jim Karpowitz, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources said about the proposed elk hunting changes. At the same time, they dont want the quality of their hunting experience to decline. We believe weve come up with recommendations that will provide hunters what theyre looking for.
