Nationally we watched helplessly as the Clinton administration took management control away from regional and district managers by railroading through the Grand Staircase National Monument and the Roadless Ruling Why do we need local management if those that are unfamiliar with the issues are making the rules based on sentiment and donations made? Regionally lawmakers in California caught up in the fervor of saving the kitties passed legislation that eliminated cougar hunting in the state Since that time the big cats have lost their respect for humans Increasing attacks on household pets and humans have been cause for legitimate concern Hikers and joggers have been advised not to use trails in areas inhabited by the increasing cougar population Professionals have been hired to remove problem animals Legally it's impossible ers to use for wildlife managtheir most effective management tool that of wise Mil Mu liif M" Ml!

Sports and appropriate hunting seasons Locally we're seeing another example of why lawmakers should stay out of wildlife management and let the people they hire do the job they're paid to do The Utah Division of Wildlife recently made the decision to lower the statewide trout limit to four fish Whether you agree with the change or not it's based on sound reasoning There are limited numbers of hatcheries that can produce limited numbers of fish In order to make fishing more consistent throughout the year the DWR has reduced the limit to spread out the pressure on fish populations Therein lies the problem The Utah Legislature has ruled that the trout limit for children under 12 that do not buy a license will be half the adult limit This law will make the juvenile limit two fish Not many kids will want to go fishing if they can This will only catch two fish compound the ongoing problem of keeping our kids interested in outdoor recreation After all there's no limit on the number of bad guys they can blast on the Nintendo There will be a push this winter to have the law changed to help make fishing more attractive to youngsters but it would a dow Management by Legislation by Bob Bahlmann Staff writer October Valley NewsSalina Sun be a lot simpler if lawmakers would let the biologists biologize and leave wildlife management to those they pay to manage wildlife While we're on the subject maybe it would be wise to have the Director of the Division of Wildlife an elected position rather than an appointed one Let the people choose the man in charge of our precious wildlife resources Several years ago Bill Geer one of the most qualified directors we ever had was released from his position There were justifications given by the powers that be but the scuttlebutt is that he stepped on some toes The way I heard it Geer expressed some concern about the possibility of whirling disease being present in a trout farm run by a prominent Utah It wasn't long before Geer was looking for a job and another DWR Director was appointed Geer's expertise was well known and he was instantly hired by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation where his abilities are being used to improve elk management Isn't it interesting that Utah's elk herds are in their best shape ever? Makes you wondeh where the rest of the state's wildlife would be if Geer had been allowed to continue to do his job! at and then send you the billl JJWD Utah South Salina - 100 West 529 - 7488 ysMrsMsMsMrsMsMrsMrsMs Mi 51 "i Mil 5a Mil ali aai Mil Mi Ml M"i Bail MU Ms 5a it!
