Saturday Duck Opening Nears Hunters Promised Good Shoot as Great Number Of Birds Evident on Bear River Refuge Waters With the coming of Utahs 1957 migratory waterfowl season just about a realty, hunters, with shiny guns, numerous decoys, and high hopes are primed for the a.m. Saturday start. Thousands of nimrods will make their annual trek to favorite hunting spots. With approximately a million ducks on the Bear River refuge, hunters who make this their first-dashooting grounds should have well above average luck in bagging their birds. Pin tails and green wing teal make up a majority of the waterfowl population at the 64,000-acr- e refuge with shovelers, widgeons, and various deep-wate- r ducks swarming in during the past week. . Refuge manager Vanez T. Wilson, describes It as the peak of the season. Wilson said the number of ducks indicates a better shoot than last year and one considerably better than a few years ago. The invading force of hunters is expected to number around a thousand for the opening-dabombardment. According to Wilson, goose shooting wont be up to par since the number of Canadian honkers has shown a decline in the local area. State officials, noting the decrease, decided to cut the bag limit to one this season, he said. However, snow geese have recently shown up in large flights, making prospects a little brighter, he added. Hunting Regulations The same regulations will apply for hunting on the refuge as in previous years. Hunters will be required to check in and out on entering and leaving. The checking station will be open Saturday morning at 6 a. ih. to accommodate the early scattergunners. Wilson noted that the refuge has been open all this week and numerous hunters have taken the opportunity to take their boats out and set up blinds. Water conditions are excellent with an abundant food supply to keep the migrating flights around.
