The -- Natural-Side Terry Messmer Hunters haver a responsibility to uphold the integrity of their sport This not only includes a respect for hunting land, the landowner, other and game hunters, and laws, but also the game. Respect for game extends beyond issues of habitat. It includes proper care and use of wild game once it is bagged. Proper handling of the meat between shooting, storing and eating makes a great difference in flavor and taste. The most succulent wild game can be destroyed by improper cooking at home. Undesirable strong flavors in meat can be a result of inadequate bleeding, delay or carelessness in dressing or failure to cool the carcass promptly. Generally, game animals are cleaned and butchered in the same manner as domestic animals. However, mutilated and bloodshot areas, as well as bullets and shotgun pellets, must be removed. Remember, the flavor of wild game meat, when handled properly, is delicious and characteristically unique to the species. Venison and antelope taste as different from one another as beef and pork. Following are some tips for hunters to remember: "Generally the animal you shoot will not have to be bled out because enough blood vessels will be severed by the bullet. However, if it has been shot in the head, neck or spinal cord, it should be bled. If in doubt, bleed it anyway. non-hunte- One quick method is simply to slash the throat and sever the major blood vessels at the base of the neck. Elevate the hind quarters of the carcass to aid in bleeding. If the head is to be mounted, do not cut the throat as this will damage the cape for mounting purposes. The animal should be dressed out (entrails removed) as soon as possible to ensure rapid loss of body heat. Wipe the gutted cavity with a dry or damp cloth or clean grass. Keep the animal as clean as possible. v, , , , . . Cool promptly and thoroughly by propping the chest cavity open with a stick to allow air to circulate freely. Hanging the carcass aids cooling. Heat remains in the body longer when its left on the ground hastening spoilage. The animal can be quartered and wrapped in muslin or cheesecloth. Dont use tarps or canvas bags which tend to hold in the heat. If the weather is warm, its even more important to clean the animal as quickly as possible. A simple way to cool an animal on a hot day is to buy bags of ice cubes to put into the body cavity. Leave the ice in the bags. Game birds offer much variety in flavor and should be cared for just as carefully as big game animals. Remove the entrails and crop as soon as possible after shooting to allow air to circulate in the body cavity. If the weather is hot, the birds should be placed individually in plastic bags and put on ice. In any case, avoid piling warm birds in a mass.

With the unveiling of Utah state budget projections its clear that welfare and medical assistance are busting the state budget too. How is it that Americans have accepted the notion that if there is a need, government is the one to solve it? Support programs are a right - not a privilege. The most frightening aspect of what is happening to Utahs budget is analysts prediction that because of the rapid increase in entitlement spending, other critical funding categories such as Utahs public schools, will get a smaller piece of the budget pie. According to the group Utah Children, almost a third of all births in Utah are to parents on Medicaid. Can it be that so many young Utah families are poor? Or have we liberalized our eligibility requirements too far? The state pays about 25 of these costs in order to qualify for the 75 in federal funds. With a carrot like that its hard for even conservative legislators to reject the free money. Some states are looking at taxing the hospitals for the state share in order to give the same hospitals the federal share. Others are examining alternatives to costly Medicaid, pointing out that the care provided is the finest money can buy, better, in many cases, than those with private insurance. Nearly 40 of poor Utah households own their own homes, with an average of three bedrooms, a garage and a porch or patio. About 53 have air conditioning. child-advoca- Crop Report During the week ending October 4, there were 7 days suitable for field work according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service.

The study was conducted by DWR biologists Dennis Austin and Richard Stevens, USUbiologistKent Jorgensen and professor Philip Urness. The researchers will use the information to help wildlife agencies select the best mix of grasses and other forage species for big game range projects on state and federal lands. Utahs mule deer apparently prefer cheat grass over other forage during the spring and fall of the year, according to a forage preference study just concluded by a team of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Utah State University range science biologists. Cheat grass won out over 16 species of grasses commonly found sites. on rangeland Other preferred species were Paiute orchard grass, fair crested wheat grass and Luna pubescent wheat grass.

The upcoming elections are critical to solving Utahs budget crisis. We must elect a Governor and legislators who arent afraid to make welfare and medical assistance unattractive to those who dont really need them. We need to elect those who arent afraid to say no to the federal government. We must elect leaders who are determined to create private, voluntary solutions to the truly needy in our society.
