Those heading afield for Gambells quail along Utahs southern border, however, should enjoy improved huntCITY--Hunte- rs ing. Utahs 2003 pheasant and quail seasons open Nov. 1. Dean Mitchell, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DW-R- ), provides the following preview for the upcoming hunts: pheasant. Despite the fact that Utah pheasant populations have declined drastically, many Utah hunters will be afield this year for the wily Ring-neck- ed ring-nec- k. Hunters should not expect any highly noticeable improvement in pheasant populations this year over last. Five years of drought and countless years of habitat loss have taken their toll on Utahs pheasant populations. Hunters should concentrate their efforts in those areas with remaining suitable habitat. Most of Utahs pheasant hunters participate during the opening weekend only. Those with persistence and who hunt during weekdays are successful in harvesting a few birds. Utah pheasant hunting will be poor to fair at best throughout the state. Predictions for hunter success by DWR for the central region are: Habitat conditions in where areas agricultural pheasants are found are fair. In spite of the continuing d drought, a few stimulated showers spring improved nesting and brooding habitat conditions. Continued urban and industrial development throughout the region make it difficult for hunters to find pheasants. Those with access to private agricultural lands will have the best success. Overall, hunting is expected to be slow. The 2003 pheasant hunt will not compare with the heyday of pheasant hunting in Utah, which happened in the 1950s and 1960s. Too much habitat has been lost or degraded. DWR biologists are anxious to work with landowners who desire to improve and enhance pheasant habitat on private property. Funds are available through the DWR Habitat Fund for habitat project payments to landowners who are interested. Pheasant hunting strategies in Utah are fairly different than in the past. Most of the best habitat for pheasants is still found on private lands throughout the state.

Hunters need to invest some time ahead of the pheasant season opener to secure permission on private lands they desire to hunt. Hunters on lands that are "cultivated" or that have been "properly posted" as "No Trespassing" are required to have written permission from the landowner or person in charge to be there. This applies to family members as well who are not landowner the actual or person in charge of the land. To determine who owns a parcel of private land you desire to hunt, you should visit the county recorder or assessor office for the county you desire to hunt. Ask to review the "Plat maps" for the area youre interested in hunting. Some county offices will provide addresses for landowners. Hunters are encouraged to complete and have the land-ownsign the permission card located on the DWR internet web page at wildlife.

One trespasser is all it takes to close private property to hunters. Pheasant and other upland game hunters are strongly encouraged to pick up all spent shotgun shell hulls, yours as well as any left by others, in an effort to be respectful of private and public lands that may be hunted. While in the field for pheasants, hunters are encouraged to pay close attention to their shot zones. Annually, DWR conservation officers respond to complaints from landowners concerned about buildings, livestock and farm equipment being "peppered" by shotgun per Vz acre foot Call Arley (435) or Cliff (801) Afterwards, however, the Hawks displayed solid depth and easily disposed of challenges from Emery, Delta and Carbon.

"The thing we keep hearing from elk hunters is that the regulations are too complicated. They also want the regulations to be fairer and more consistent across the board," Jim Karpowitz, big game coordinator for DWR said about the proposed elk hunting changes. "At the same time, they dont want the quality of their hunting experience to decline. We believe weve come up with recommendations that will provide hunters what theyre looking for."
