Show Page 12-THE HERALD, Provo, Utah Sunday, February 7, 1971 Outdoor| Roundup’ By CASEY BOWN Now it is official with the Governor's signature on the two bills which passed the legislature making the elk the state game animal and the rainbow trout the state fish. There are some who claim thatthe elk we have in Utah now arenot nativeto the state. Dr. Steve Durrant, a respected friend and authoiity onthis subject, states that our elk today are the product of plants of elk from Yellowstone; that the numbers of these introduced elk were far greater than the nativeelk still on our ranges when these ants were made; that through interbreeding tah’s elk ee are the product of this interbreedin, the samecritters as those from the Ye paatioeJackson Hole area. To which we canonly reply thatan elk is an elk is an elk by any other name. Atleast elk were native to Utah in all recorded early history and, if only on a diluted basis, some of the blood of the indigenouselk our pioneers and the Indians knew is still coursing through the arteries of the elk we have here today. Speaking of Indians reminds meof letter from John Talmage in which he quotes from a journal his father kept. The quote becomes historical sinceit relates to a trip by his father to Fishlake in Juneof 1887. We should also say that Fishlake was THE placeto gofishing in that long ago year. “The Indians are camped aboutthe lake in great numbers, and they catch trout by wholesale. They catch them in basket traps set in streams flowing out from the lake. This is the spawning season, and such extensive and reckless destruction must sooner or later produce a dearth of fish. Large heads and fish ova are seen outside the Indians’ wickiups.”” John adds, “Conservation problems obviously existed long’ before the days of trolling motors, p gears,‘garbagebaits,” and the White game in countless numbers.” To which we reply that any conservation problem the Indians may have created atleast allowed for perpetuationofthe wildlife resources over the centuries before the invasion of the white mar. And what would Grandpa Indian think of the environmental mess we have made of his lands in this day and age? The litter left in Federal Parks, forests and other public lands will cost taxpayers $22 million to clean it up during this year. This will be a 12 percent increase over last year and about $4 million more than the entire budget of the _ S. Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife. — estimated 400 hoofed game animals died .
