However, firearm-relate- d accidents were down. Only three accidents were reported including the one fatality occurring in Weber County after dark on the last day of the 1982 general deer season. Physical evidence at the scene has the investigating officers from the Weber County Sheriffs office believing the victim slipped on a slick surface and caught the trigger of his loaded gun on the dense oak brush which caused the gun to discharge as he fell. Evidently the guns safety was off. accidents. Interestingly, none of the four firearms accidents happening during the 1978 deer season were fatal. Many of the older generation of hunters take exception to this teaching of keeping the action open. They came from a period when walking the hills with a loaded gun was considered "being prepared. Many would not even have the safety on. This same generation set the infamous record in 1955-5in Utah for having the worst accident rate in the USA.

It is incredible at times how the giant antlers show up during rut or early winter, bucks the nimroads somehow didnt find. I remember two Decembers ago looking at a whopper buck in Hobble Creek Canyon above Springville which browsed behind a cabin. It carried a yard-wid- e spread no one could possibly fail to see. But apparently it had outwitted the states more than 200,000 venison questers. One hunter also told me he had looked at some large bucks east of Smithfield, another near south end of Cache Valley. I have searched the mountains from the Idaho border to the Monte Cristo country, and all along Bear Lake, without finding a truly great buck, but the archers have reported the same during the past bow shoot. Most nimrods skip the desert terrain, yet some high antlers were taken this past season on the west (back side away from people) side of the Stansburys and Deep Creeks. A few traditional places were "washed out but it was the fault of the weather which has probably never been more cruel than in late Utah still produces some mighty bucks. That is evident from the past deer season, big buck contest and tallies from check stations as well as hunters. For example, it has been stated solemnly in many of the outdoor magazines, and from some biologists themselves that muley numbers in the Book Cliffs are way down. That may be true, but guess where many of the contest winners bagged their monster racks this year? Thats right. The Book Cliffs. Verdin Goodrich nailed a 33 inch spread from 100 yards at first daylight in this wild country south and east of the Green River, and David rack in open Felter got his 33 Book Cliffs sage. Other nice ones were taken in the Wasatch Mountains above heavy civilization from Smithfield to Nephi. The monster bucks come from rough and inaccessible country these days of modern day trophyseeking, but often it is merely a pocket which gets overlooked near roads and cities. West Valley Citys Randy Neuman got his huge rack less than an hour out of downtown skyscrapers, but he doesnt want the precise location revealed. Reason? He does it almost every year. If you didnt bag your dream buck, start scouting and making s plans now. One of my favorite is to get out in December, just following the muzzleloader and past-time- Neiv Coach September-earl. y Octobers elk opener. Snow more than three feet deep prevented acess on the upper Manti, and forced closure of the famed Wilcox Ranch above East Carbon for the second year in a row. Prolific outdoor writer Erwin Bauer labeled the West Tavaputs Plateau above (old name) Drager-to- n in Carbon County, "the best mule deer hunting in the world. That was the tag once tied on Beaver County, but hunter Bruce Crooks says he and his brother found more deer hunters than deer here in the Belknap-DelanPeak area last time around. As usual, some nice bucks came from Summit and Wasatch Counties. Deer hunters are not high in the western Uintas, because food is not profuse in the lodgepole pine country, but good buckskins were o once again nailed from Riley Canyon, the upper Weber, and West Fork of the Bear, as well as over into "23B or upper Current Creek in Duchesne County. It pays to analyze where the best heads are yielded, for the same ravines and ridges tend to put out the biggest bucks year after year. One of my favorite each season is Rock Creek on south slope of the Uintas, and weather permitting access, deer are about in the same place each visit. But if I want to explore new territory, Id scout out the north Box Elder terrain because check station figures show double the average success rate there.

Although firearm accidents were down by one over the previous record low, this one fatality marred a rather impressive low accident year, and could have been completely avoided had the hunter observed the one simple rule of safety being taught in Hunter Education today keep the action open whenever the gun is not being fired. Such a simple thing, opening the action, yet it can be so effective in preventing accidents. In 1956, Utah was noted for having the worst hunting accident rate in the United States, but since the Hunter Education program began in 1957, the states hunter accident rate has steadily declined.
