For some, the memories arent the greatest. Only one in every three Utah deer hunters are successful. For others, Lhough, this season is one theyll never forget. A number of unusual hunting stones surfaced during the annual big game hunts. Some are worth repeating. Arrow in Deer Take the case of Jerry Worthen of Kearns, who thought there was something a little strange when he shot a two-pobuck in the North Fork of the Duchesne area. The deer had an arrow that had gone Lhrough its left eye and come out just below the right eye above the nose. When Worthen saw the deer, he Am I a thought to himself: drinking man or am I seeing things?

Muzzleloader Hunter James Benton, also of Salt Lake, found black powder hunting to his liking as he bagged a six point buck with a spread 30 inches wide and 20 inches high while hunting in the Nebo Creek area.

Turner shot his deer at about 5 p m. on the final day of the season just as it was getting dark. The four-poibuck weighed 260 pounds dressed out. I had seen about six head of deer, all does, and I was kind of discouraged because it was the last day of the hunt, sa, j Turner. I was com jig riojwi the canyon and -- ' 400 So. 800 W.

You kind of have things all to yourself. Its not like the regular hunt, where you cant move Bags a Buffalo Then, theres the story of Dave Williams of Panguitcn who tried for 20 years to draw out a buffalo permit and was finally rewarded for his patience. According to Tribune correspondent Nancy Bales, Williams was rewarded by bagging a huge bull of close to 1,800 pounds in the Henry Mountains w here the hunt takes place. The Panguitch hunter got his bull on noon opening day in the Bitter Creek area. lie had to shoot seven times before dropping the giant animal. Monroe Iversen Salt Lake finished his moose hunt on a happy note, comirg home with a bull Lhat had a spread. We hunted in a blizzard and a storm for nine days, said Iversen, who bagged hi 5 bull in the Chalk Creek area. We needed a four-whedrive pickup chained up to get around. Snowmobiles were worthless. Snowshoes were also a problem in that fine snow." Iversen noticed the moose were starting to come back down during the storm. After nine days of hunting, he found three bull moose and shot the biggest one. Being successful was worth all I was the tune," said Iversen. very satisfied that the season is later in the year. My father shot a moose m October one year and it was a real struggle to save the meat. This time of year, you dont have any waste'. Its more of a problem getting around, though. Its harder hunting in the cold. You have to be prepared. Im glad the season is where its at." Rob Carter of Salt Lake was another successful moose hunter. He got his eight-poin- t trophy with a bow at Chalk Creek. It was easier than I expected," admitted the Salt Lake hunter, who put in for seven years before finally drawing out his moose permit. "We just walked up and shot him. We saw quite a few others in the morning, but decided to wait." h The heavy amounts of snow which have fallen in Utahs ski areas in the last three weeks have some ski officials calling this years start the best in 30 years in the Beehive State. I dont recall a better start since Ive been here," said Raivo Puusemp, executive director of the Utah Ski Association. Alta has had its best start since 1952. I feel very confident that, compared to recent history, this is as good a start as Somewhere, there must be a pretty disgusted archer who came closei than he realized to getting his buck in the North Fork of the Duchesne area. Perhaps the biggest buck taken during the deer season was the bagged by John atypical Strasser of Salt Lake. This buck, with a spread and antlers 23 inches high, won several local big buck contests. I got it in the Duchesne area on a long shot," said Strasser. I'd hate to say it was a lucky shot but it was 275 or 300 yards. I told the guy in our group that it had to be a four-poior bigger, but I didnt have any idea just how big it really was until we got up to it. One fellow said he thought Id shot an elk and I just got scared to death. But they were just having some fun at my buck won several big buck contests and may have been largest taken in Utah this year. hunting Benton. and get the side he was Ski Industrys trigger.
