At times, the Birds would struggle to stand up, and at other times would fall back to the floor. SUSC has had to crawl through the critics and the skeptics, face the foreign hotel rooms, restaurant food, and hostile crowds, and cope with the frustration of losing. But through it all, the Birds emerge with only a few bruises and having learned several lessons. Among them, as Head Coach Neil Roberts said, You dont appreciate wins unless you lose. Monday night the Birds finished their rookie year at home against Sacramento State, and came away with a 109-8- 9 triumph.

Big game is varied, plentiful in Utah Sportsmen in Utah have diversity in the big game species they can hunt, the time of year they can enjoy their hunt and their choice of weapons. It is the philosophy of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to offer people the opportunity to participate every year with a variety of months to hunt and to offer the public a chance to enjoy the natural resources without degrading viable wildlife populations. Sportsmen can hunt moose in September, Ocober and November; buffalo m October and November, desert bighorn sheep in September, October and November; Rocky Mountain goat in September and October, deer in August, September, October, November and December; elk m September, October, November and December; and antelope m September and October Utah offers a diversity of hunting opportunity. Sportsmen have the choice of applying for trophy quality hunts, buying license and permits over the counter, participating in depredation hunts to reduce landowner big game conflicts, and becoming involved in transplants. 5 |
