This year a preseason hunt is ' proposed as a way to spread 200 permits out earlier in order to help reduce the herd. Success at late season hunting antlerless deer last year was only 57 percent and more deer should have been harvested than were due to poor snow conditions. Recently the amount of deer killed m a deer management unit in one year. The number is expected to go over 200 deer. This is not only a terrible waste of resource but also a great hazard to motorists.

The public is encouraged to attend local public meetings in the future and have a voice in the recommendation process. Hopefully archery regulations will remain relaxed as last year allowing archers a chance to harvest an antlerless deer in Davis County to help reduce the herd. Spring has arrived for early season stream fishermen Spring has arrived and Division of Wildlife Resources officers have good news for n fishing enthusiasts. In April, before the runoff hits hard, weather and water conditions are excellent for stream fishearly-seaso- ing. ' Water temperatures are beginning to warm and fish are becoming more active. During the winter months, it often takes very small lures or bait to catch a trout or get a whitefish to bite but in the spring-fi-sh become more agressive and will feed on a variety of offerings. A number of Utah streams are producing well right now, according to Division officers reporting from throughout the state.

He shot for a successful Air Force team and acted as a marksmanship instructor four years, until he completed his military obligation. While in the Air Force, Green was introduced to the Mormon Church by three fellow team members. There were eight members on the team, three were LDS to begin with, and Green and one oth- er team member joined the church in the service. When he finished his tour of duty, Green put down his shotgun and studied special education and educational psychology for four years at BYU on the G.I. Bill. I After his schooling, the Greens moved to Clinton. I wouldnt have minded going to Michigan, but my wife is from Bountiful and she wanted to stay near home, so we compromised and moved to Clinton," Green said with a chuckle. In 1972 Green made the tryouts for the Olympics, at which he finished 12th. But in trapshooting only two get to go, so I was way out of it, Green said. Twelfth best in the country and way out of the competition? Everythings relative. Green said his most interesting shooting trip was the one last spring to the Soviet Union. There were some big surprises for many, who were on their first trip behind the Iron Curtain. Some of the most noticeable differences between the Soviet Union and the U.S. is the drab buildings and clothes. Americans, often in brightly colored and blue jeans were obviously from the West, and many members of the group were approached to trade their clothes for Soviet items like wood carvings, pins or other memorabilia. Some of the guys came home with no clothes left in their suitcases, Green said. The Soviet people were very rts didnt shoot at all for four years. I figured Id have enough to do just getting through my studies. Green did, however, tear himself away from the books enough to meet and marry his wife, Trudy. They now have three children: Julie, 12; Jared, nine; and Adam 6. friendly and accommodating, . AH-A- m p From 5C and its like ughhhh I try to do a lot of visualization and positive thinking.

Some of the Soviet products, like ice cream, are better than those in the U.S. Others, however, are much worse. Our first day there they gave us some of their soda pop. It was green and it tasted like a sort of a cross between Scope and Grape Nehi, Green said. Even flying in to the U.S.S.R. was unique. There was no preflight briefing of what to do in event of an emergency. Green asked a very military looking stewardess why there was no briefing. She replied that the pilot was a very good one and there would be no problems, therefore, a preflight briefing was not needed. As the Soviet airplane landed and docked at the terminal, it was surrounded by about 10 armed guards, who stayed until all the guns could be identified and loaded into a d bus. The government then transported the guns to the sites of the competitions and loaded the guns back on the plane for the flight out, Green said.
