I C15 Wi SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT CHAINS I f 1 Trtoun Spending part of your hunt mired in a bog can put a dent in the time spent stalking that trophy buck and reduce the enjoyment usually associated uith any trip into mountains this time of year. Being ready for winter weather helps. Getting Stuck Ruins Many Trips By Craig Hansell Tribune Sports Writer Its the season for back country navel and as Utahns drive to the mountains for firewood or m search of the big buck, being ready for road ind weather conditions is important Spending time stuck in the hills is nut what most people consider enjoyable. Mountain weather changes qmckly and the shirtsleaves of morning can be inadiquate in the blizzard nl afternoon. The Handyman jack can not only help you change a tire if. for some reason, it goes flat on the bottom. But the jack can lift your truck out of a ditch or pull it out of a bog vehaving a hicle is not a cure for road conditions The drive doesnt prevent netting stuck; it just insures that wherf you do get stuck, you get VERY bar And four-whe- stuck. Using a length of towing strap or nylon rope you can use a Handyman or High Lift like a winch to pull you out and the simple jacks are considerably cheaper than a bumper-mounte- d electric or mechanical winch. have to do is tie the jacks to a tree or bury a deadman and then hook a tow strap or chain to the jack's hook and use the jack to pull you back to solid ground. You can also use the Jack's pull to enhance the However taking some extra gear and being ready to extricate your vehicle can save you some time at a time when time can become your as an anchor If you cant find a log. your spare tire will do the job well. Use a length of chain or nylon webbing through the tire as a point to secure the tow line from your winch or jack There is a lot to be said for a tow line which doesn't stretch, especially when using a Handyman or High Lift jack which will only give you about 40 inches of travel before you have to rerig the system Attitude is a significant key for a successful solution to the problem at hand and haste is often part of the problem If the extracation is an exercise in pioneering spirit it becomes a more enjoyable task en- emy.

All you vehicle's traction and drive the cle out of the goo vehi- When you have your plan in mind, think about a good place to secure the tow cable to the vehicle. If your vehicle is mired up to the doors, you might want to use the jack to lift it enough to secure the tow line to the frame or a spring shackle before beginning to pull it out The bumpers on most vehicles are not designed to take the pull needed to get them unstuck It is a real trauma if the only part of your vehicle which gets unstuck is the bumper which falls off leaving your vehicle still mired. If you use a tree as the anchor, a piece of nylon webbing around the tree, as the anchor point, will prevent the tree from being damaged by the tow cable or chain. If you find yourself in an area without any large rocks or trees to use as an anchor for your winch or Handyman jack, you can generally create your own anchor by digging a hole and then burying a log with a chain wraped around It (a deadman) to use V! ,..!? tire chains, a shovil, extra Staff Artist Mark KnuUten kewiecott Hunting Open Portions of Kennecott property on the Oquirrh Mountains west of Salt Lake City will be open for the deer hunt, but hunters who wish to go into those areas will be limited to muzzleloading rifles, archery tackle and slug shotguns in the Coons Canyon area. The land has been opened after a two-yeclosure due to a cooperative agreement between the Division of Wildlife Resources. Kennecott and Hercules. "We're very pleased with the agreement, said DWR assistant director Homer Stapley. Weve been concerned about this and other hunting closures from both a game management and recreational standpoint. There aren't many places left along the Wasatch Front where a hunter can go after work or on a Saturday and have a chance at taking a deer. Reopening the Kennecott property will help the hunters who don't have much time to get away, and it will sure help us manage the deer herd there." Entrance to the property will be at 8400 West 4100 South. The access road was built right before the bow season. The property will be patrolled throughout the hunt. A good Handyman jack, a rope, gas and water are worth taking on any mountain excursions.
