Show Utah Bobcat Population Signup Continues Good, Says State Agency Lakeside Ki iew, October 2, Bobcat populations in Utah are good, according to research of Division of Wildlife Resources biologist Jim Karpowitz. Permits for the upcoming bobcat season, December 13, 1980 to January 31, 1981, will soon go on sale in all Division offices. Permits must be purchased by November 14, 1980. Karpowitz bobcat data are based on two types of research a radio telemetry study in the Diamond Fork area and harvest information from last years season. The major purpose of his research is to develop techniques for creating a responsible statewide bobcat management program. Karpowitz believes an intensive management program is necessary due to the high price of bobcat pelts which puts undue strain on the population. For a bocat population, it is important for trappers and hunters to be cooperative in providing harvest information on bobcats. Until 1979, the bobcat was classified as a predator under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture. A total of 1,593 bobcats were har-- . vested on 1,362 permits during the 1979-8- 0 season. According to Karpowitz, 570 persons brought in bobcat pelts to obtain metal tags, for a true average of 2.74 bobcats per person. Up to four bobcats could be taken per permit. About 90 percent of the bobcats were trapped while 4 percent were taken by dogs and 6 percent by predator hunting. By sectioning over 1,000 teeth from a sample of harvested bobcats, Karpowitz classified the bobcats according to age. Adult bobcats comprised 71.4 percent of the sample. Karpowitz says the heaviest harvest occurred in the west desert areas. Good habitat and abundance of rabbits are reasons bobcat populations may be higher in the west desert. However, bobcats are distributed statewide from the mountains to the desert. Probably the only place bobcats are not found, says Karpowitz, is in the Salt Flats. Karpowitz says the density of bobcats varies according to amount of prey.

'i - ' ' Roy High Defeats Weber In Victory at Homecoming By BLISS FULLMER ' Staff Writer ROY In just seven plays, Roy scored three touchdowns and then played tough defense in downing the Weber Warriors 21-- 6 at homecoming. The first Royal score came on a pass and battle for possession between Webers Curt Smith and Roys Brad McCaulley. Smith deflected the ball, but McCaulley stole it from his grasp and gave Roy a at the line. Quarterback Wade Jacklin sneaked it in, and Graham McFarlane booted the extra point to give Roy an early 0 advantage. Roy scored again, after Kenny Tulane fell on a Weber option-pla- y fumble at the line. Jacklin hit McCaulley for the TD but again the ball was deflected this time by Shawn Sederholm and the Royals had 14 first quarter points. kickoff, and with the aid of Roy took the second-hal- f two major penalties, marched down for another score in the third quarter. Jacklin passed to McCaulley at to the six inch the 10, then Gary Ashley ran line, and Jacklin sneaked it over. Weber got its TD on a third quarter drive that was also aided by a major penalty. Just when it looked like the Royals had the Warrior drive stopped at the line, Vern Stacey spotted Kelly Johnson alone in the end zone, and Weber scored with 1 : 27 left in the first-and-go- al 7-- le 20-ya- third quarter. : The Warriors failed in their attempt at a two-poiconversion, and the 21-- 6 score became final. , nt Roy, with a super kicking game, and stout defense, kept the ball at Webers end of the field for most of the in control game. Weber actually had more clock-tim- e of the ball, but only because the Royals scored with such lightning quickness. .The Royal defense was strengthened for homecoming with the return of defensive tackle Bill Venstra. Venstra was injured early in the Olympus game but came back to make eight big tackles against Weber. Todd Taylor also got eight tackles, and Mark Eggington and Jay Winward each came up with seven. The Royals picked off sik Weber passes. Jay Winward snatched two, and Gary Anderson, Troy Thompson and Mike Reske each picked off one. Brad McCaulley also picked one off, but was flagged for pass interference for the theft. Roys Graham McFarlane kicked all three extra points for the Royals, to extend his streak to six in Region One play. McFarlane is a foreign exchange student from South Africa, and is living with the Eyler Runchell family. He learned to boot the ball in playing rugby and soccer in his homeland. He has become a favorite with the Royal players and fans. Coach Jacklin was elated with his big win over Weber. Now if we can get past Clearfield, well be around the comer, he said. The Royals did not win a single league game last season, and are regaining - confidence in Royal football. example, one bobcat per 30 square miles may be the maximum density in a certain area. Karpowitz' study in Diamond Fork, where he monitors the d activities of bobcats, radio-collare- deals with bobcat and density distribution in relation to prey base and in determining bobcat habitat requirements. Trapping bobcats is easy if you can find them, says Karpowitz, Trapping bobcats requires experience in reading signs such as scat and tracks. The cost of a bobcat permit is $25. Each bobcat permit will have four possession tags in addition to four bobcat jaw tags. When bobcat pelts are delivered to a Division office for obtaining permanent metal tags, there will be no charge for the first metal tag. For the three additional metal tags, the fee will be $25 each. No more than four bobcats may be harvested per permit. Bobcat pelts may not be sold or traded unless a permanent metal tag is affixed.
