Wildlife Federation Leader Cites Views On Deer Herd Problem In Utah Eds note: The following article was taken from the Beaver Press, Milford, Utah. With discussions slated for this area in' the near future on the deer problem, we feel that any comment state-wid- e or otherwise, is well worth bringing to the attention of all. the' Utah Fish and Game Department, assisted by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, has had a definite policy and method in managing Utahs deer herds. It was a' combFor 20 years, ination of studies involving pellet counts, reading of browse transects, and riding the winter ranges early in the spring to observe the condition of the range and the number of deer in certain selected areas. These studies have been made at approximately the same time in the same area, and by approximately the same number of persons each year. No one can deny that this method has resulted in a fantastic deer harvest. Neither can anyone deny that there has been a definite adjustment of the herds to a declining supply of feed on the ranges. Many of Utahs hunters have been clamoring for several years that the special doe kill was too heavy, and some even have voiced a fear that some of the herds would, be wiped out This fear is probably baseless as it is practicably impossible to. wipe out a deer herd by hunting pressure alone. It is an indisputable fact however, that numbers can be drastically reduced, and this has been done in some cases. Now, however, as we get most of our problem herds in check with these proven methods, we are confronted with a demand by the Forest Service and the Bureau- - of Land Management that trend counts of deer be either discontinued or discounted greatly and a new method of pellet counting be substituted. After the proper preparation and agreement by the joint Interagency members mentioned above, it is posible that trend pellet count could be worked out that would substitute for the actual deer trend count. However, it must be understood that, before this can be adoped, a definte c FAMILY FALLOUT shelter constructed tn the basement of the Orval M.

No sudden change without the proper preparation could possibly work. Certainly, a pellet - trend count would have to embrace a considerable 'area and not just a few selected, heavily used spots. This, however, was the intention of some of the Interagency members this spring. The general feeling by others on this matter is that now the trend counts are show ing a definite decrease in the deer herds in some areas, it would be advisable to change methods so Fast service.
