Early reports from the DWR indicate that the 1 978 season might show a little drop in success figures. A nice buck for Not the best year V & Antelope hunt good There were more antelope permits given out for years hunt and this could account for what might be a slight drop in success This year a total of 310 permits were issued to Utah sportsmen The season ran from Sept 2 to 10 According to Rodney .lohn big game supervisor for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, early indications are that the 1978 hunt was good A quick survey of officers in the field produced this summary: In the Central Region hunting was reported to be pretty good Officers reported that success might be down a little in the Snake Valley and Riverbed areas Hunters in those areas reported seeing lots of antelope but the temperatures were a little hotter and thus the ammals appeared to be more scattered It was noted that seven antelope were harvested on each of the units A total of 15 permits were Issued on each unit In 1977 hunter success on the West Desert herd was 72 percent In the northeastern area, it was noticed that conditions were very dry Here again, the animals were more spread out and not concentrated like on past hunts. While the antelope here were a little hard to find, fair success is being reported Officers noted that this year hunters were having to harvest the smaller bucks to fill tags before the closing as On the Daggett unit, hunting was good usual. This unit traditionally produces some of the highest success figures Last year, for example, 40 permits were sold and 40 antelope were harvested In 1976 and 1975 success was also 100 percent Again this year hunters generally had the pick of the herd . Many good bucks were reported taken on the openmg weekend On the Myton Bench unit, hunting is expected to hit between fair and good Here again the antelope were scattered so hunters had to spend a little time and expend a little more energy to make the success list hunters just did not have the time nor enough bullets and thus did not leave with their tags filled this r Officers reported that generally if a hunter was not successful, It was because he didnt have the time nor enough bullet. They noted that three out of four hunters Checked harvested antelope Success on the Parker Mountain unit was a little slower than officers had expected Last year success figures topped 92 percent This year that number should drop ;ust a little One of the reasons for the drop was the fact that the number of permits Jumped from 75 to 100 this year Here again, officer., reported that m many cases good Hunting on the Southwest Desert unit this year Officers noted that the animals were more scattered this year and that they felt it was due to the drought of last year and the dry summer this year. s Over in the eastern section of the state, reports are late coming in This is partly due to the fact that there is a problem plaguing the antelope 6 Rib Polyester Cord 16 goats spotted E78-1- 4 Barracuda Belvedere Century Sale Ends Saturday.
