Clear, calm weather following a relatively heavy snow storm is the ideal condition for aerial counting. Pilots and field personnel flying the surveys report the animals observed in good condition. Elk herd surveys have been made on the Cache, Ogden River, Heastdn, Bear River, White pocks, Vernal, Daggett, Nebo, Fjshlake and Hill Creek Units. Department of Fish and Game pilots and planes headquartered in Price and Salt Lake City are taking part in the work with local Department field personnel acting as observers during these flights. Animal numbers, herd composition, condition, concentration on winter ranges, and other factors are among the Important information gained from these annual surveys.

Buchanan, P. Jeppesen, State chairman Rod Fredrickson noted that affiliated clubs of Utah Wildlife Federation will be working during the next weeks to bring this important conservation program to all communities of the State. Twenty-fi- ve pairs of Hun- partridges were garian brought to the Price Game Farm last week as a gift from the Washington Department .of Fish and Game. These birds were from a Washington game farm and were picked up by Utah Department of Fish and Game personnel in Idaho from Washington Department employees. The Hungarians will beheld at the Price game farm where birds from this brood stock can be reared for introduction into selected areas in Utah. Several sites have been selected as possible introductory areas for Hungarians. Earl Assistant Sparks, Chief of Game Management, also noted that limited trapping of wild birds in Box Elder County is presently underway. These birds are being released in Juab County. Many opportunities still remain for some good late winter angling, according to a report from the Utah Department of Fish and Game. Recent checks on several waters indicated fishermen were enjoying good success for rainbows, whitefish and bass. Ice fishing on Flaming Gorge has been excellent. Most of the pressure has been on Sheep Creek Bay near Manila. Lake Powell has been reported as good for rainbow and bass. Mantua Reservoir and Bear Lake have both been fair fishing; rainbow at Mantua and whitefish at Bear Lake. Mlnersville Reservoir in the southern part of the State has been one of the few waters in this area to see many ang- lers. 'Aff temperature begins to climb during the warm late winter days, fishermen must exercise caution and good judgment on when and where to go onto ice covered waters. The old ice of winter is now weakening and the danger of hidden air pockets is always present. Ice fishing Is a growing sport and it means everyone must learn the rules of this angling activity. IN THE FIELD Whats Hike Without Old Man Granddad? with Malin A F. Foster Sunday marks the beginning of National Wildlife Week, and the general admonition from the National Wildlife Federation is: Keep your gum wrappers off the wilderness trails. Emphasis this year is on preservation and enhancement of natures beauty. Beer cans, papers, wrappers, bottle caps, ad infinitum, blot many of And a foul sight our accessible recreation areas. a true testimonial of our affluent care they are lessness. During a hiking trek last summer into the real outback of the Uinta Mountains we remarked, as we shouldered the packs, that it would be a wonderful thing to get away from the beaten trash track. When we reached our destination Mr. Wrigley, Mr. Coors, Mr. Chesterfield and Old Grandad were there to greet us. Its a blinkin shame. The folks who left that litter around those high lakes deserve to have it all parked on their front doorsteps. Retrun Of Ths Bighorn Something else worthy of Wildlife Week attention is Utah resident, Ovis a proper welcome for an old Canadensis, nicknamed Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. Hes back, though not in force right now, and all we hunters are plenty happy to see him. Old Ovis is not only a romantic and beautiful animal to add to our wildlife list, he also ranks among the top five hunting trophies in North America. When the Beehive State was more grass oriented, Ovis was a regular. He was about as prominent in the as the Mule Deer is now. Game managers might have kept him around, but in those days the emSheep was simply too phasis was not on management good a table article. The Utah Fish and Game Department recently received 14 sheep from Wyoming. They were corralled on 100 acres along the rough Wasatch Front south of Brigham City. Norman Hancock. Utah Fish and Game Wildlife Chief, said the sheep will be kept on the range until they multiply Some 10-- 15 to about 25. years hence, limited hunting of them will be allowed, probably in north and central parts of the state. mid-180- 0s Firearm Brightener There is a bright capper for the current installment. For those diehards who like to keep the firearms warm on rabbits during the off season things may look up next year. Mrs. Cotton and Jack were very scarce this year.
