Are you going to have to Choose Your Weapon as is rumored or not? After talking extensively with the Division of Wildlife Resources in Salt Lake, it sounds to me there will be some dramatic changes in the way we now hunt big game in Utah. Remember that it takes at least two years for any of these kinds of changes to take place so we wont see anything drastic for a couple of years but I feel they are coming. The concern I have is not so much the changes in the program but rather making known what we the hunting populace of Utah want to the right people and in balance to the wishes and desires of the special interest groups we have in the state. This can only be done if the majority of hunters take some time to either write their desires or voice them at the upcoming public meetings that will be relatively few in number. They are talking of such ideas of choose your season not choose your weapon which to me meant almost the same thing. For this there could be lengthy seasons for primitive hunts that would include bow and muzzle loaders. There could be more than one regular buck hunt with several seasons for doe only tags. They are looking at only one tag for one deer so you limit yourself if you decide to hunt with a bow or muzzleloader. Presently there is a couple of committees gathering information about the desires of Utahs hunters (and non hunters) along with look ing at surrounding states and seeing what has waked and not waked for them. There is also a big concern of the diminishing number of hunters buying tags the past few years and this has diminished even though we have added two more years of hunter eligibility m the state. This last topic is strictly a money topic but with cause. We are entering an era where it will take more money to manage our wildlife populations not less and license fees pay for the majority of this program. All in all, you had better take your chance now for public input rather than waiting for the program to be put into effect because the kinds of changes they are looking at will take some time to reverse if you dont like them. power should fail what would happen to freezer? If We never know when a severe power outage will" affect our area, and in addiuon to having some candles, flashlights and other emergency supplies on hand, you should have a plan for taking care of the food in your freezer, according to Georgia Launtzen, Extension Nutriuonist at Utah State University. Lauritzen says that food will usually stay frozen in a fully loaded 10 to 20 cubic foot freezer for about two days if the door is left shut However, the food in a less than half full freezer likely wont last more than one day, she adds. The survival time of frozen food also depends on its density. For example, meat will stay frozen much longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you are in a power outage, or if your freezer breaks down and cant be Fixed for a few days, there are some precautions you can take, Lauritzen says: Try to locate some dry ice. 25 pounds of dry ice can keep a freeer full of food frozen for an extra two or three days. Put heavy cardboard directly on the packages of food, and then put the dry ice on top of the cardboard. When the freezer resumes operation, you will have to evaluate the condition of the food before you refreeze it You can safely refreeze food that has thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if you are sure they have remained below 40 degrees. If the food has warmed to above 40 degrees spoilage is possible, and you should check each package carefully. n If the color and odor of the food is questionable, throw it out, Launtzen concludes. once-froze- 0; AZ&cK 5; pay i pfa; JTT7 Happy Holiday Shopping 0; Arbor Day was first celebrated in U.S. in Nebraska in 1872. the 0; RASMUSSEN'S Home Center IT'S OUR ANNUAL 2 Days Only...Thursday & Friday November 24 and 25!
