Hunters Wrong by Malin F. Foster A University of Utah professor of wildlife ecology said recently that Deer have been known to be extremely successful in avoiding hunters. Dr. Gerald Ray Smith followed his statement with one even more dangerous. There Is quite a bit of evidence that deer have not become all that scarce in Utah, he said. The controversy which raged over an apparent decline in Utah's deer herd has cooled a little... at least publicly. Much study remains and there are still feathers to be smoothed. Dr. Smith, firmly convinced that hes right, goes cm record backing the big game management policies of Utah's Fish and Game Department. The loudest cries going up over these policies come from hunters. After spending considerable amounts for equipment, licenses and trips, they have a right to make some noise but a longer look is in order. If the states deer herd is thinning, It may be good. Remember what happened to the controversy - ridden Northern Yellowstone Elk Herd? It began to die out g. because of The cry that went up when park rangers began to thin the herd is still echoeing in Mon tana, Idaho and often lets the children play few notes on an instrument and once a little boy even sang along as they played familar music.

It is the unanimous opinion of biologists and other scientists that when the hard winters of the late 40 s struck, Utahs deer herd was too big. We didnt know how big it was until we started flying hay to the snowbound Mulies. The herd was saved and on its way to becoming the nations largest. Scientists and many sportsmen and conservationists are of the opinion that if hunting is to be insured, herd size must be controlled. We havent had big deer herds in Utah very long. Many believe that our valleys were over-ru- n with them when the first settlers arrived. This is not true. When settlement began, Utah was primarily a grassy Grass is fodder for grazing animals. Deer are browsers. They simply were in other areas where there was more browse. As the sheep and cattle grazed off the grass, it was replaced by browse type plants; then the deer moved in. The deer flourished and have continued to do so. If deer herds are thinning we may have received a boon from nature. However, the consensus is that the herd is not really thinning that much.
