Buffalo hunt was successful Seven of Utahs ten buffalo permit holders brought home their quarry this year, according to Rodney John, Division of Wildlife Resources big game biologist. Four bulls and three cows were harvested during the early November hunt, which greeted nimrods with snowy, rainy and muddy weather. Two of the other permit holders were unsuccessful in the opportunity to harvest a Utah buffalo. The third permit was seized when it was found to have been obtained illegally. Assistant Law Enforcement Chief Dean Spackman said the woman who had drawn the permit had not purchased a big game license prior to the drawing. After she learned of her success, she purchased a license, fraudulently postdating it. Spackman discovered the violation and she was arrested.

Were having trouble finding people who are willing to pay the necessary price above 145 pounds, therefore, were only three or four people deep in those classes, he added. Some 120 boys turned out for wrestling this year and more than 100 of them are still around after the impact of that initial grind. And this includes most of those from last years squad.
