manager of the Clear Lake Waterfowl Management Area the proclamation is so vague that some hunters may be confused as to the area set aside as well as the time frame in Salt Lake really “Somebody screwed up" stated Layton “They forgot to put in the legal descriptions of these areas and I’m concerned that some hunters may get caught hunting on the fourth or fifth day when the hunt is only for three days in these areas” continued Layton “Any hunter can get a highway road map and follow the legal description to determine the area" concluded Layton The legal descriptions for the areas are as follows: Current boundary description for Deer Herd Unit 14 (Tintic) 3 day hunt scheduled for October 1920 21 1991: Juab Tooele Utah and Millard Counties Boundary begins at then southerly along
