(Data from Weber County was unavailable at press time.) Central Utah produced slightly better results than in 1975 for the average hunter. Although results were obtained from a small aampHug of hunters,' Juab and Salt Lake counties showed slightly leas success than bat year, white Sanpete, Tooele and Utah counties were up slightly over the previous year. In the southern region, hunters found the going about the same, or perhaps just lightly better than the 1975 hunt. Success increased in Sevier County, decreased in Beaver County and Uu comparable to 1975 in Millard County.' Ijo data was available at press time from r ( other areas of the region. Northeastern Utah showed marked increases in the pheasant harvest in both Duchesne and Uintah counties and consequently averaged a higher success ratio in the rest of the region alia The suemsi appear to have been the highest in the region since 1971 . Hunter success in the southeastern region waa lower than in 1975 in Carbon County but similar to the previous year b Emery County. The regional average was similar to the success experienced in Safety Tread Coatiauee The close of the general deer season b one time during the year that causes people to reflect many safety-conscioon hunting safety. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' Hunter Education Coordinator, Lee Robertson, is very happy with the continuing trend of hunting safety. "In the last 20 years, Utah has come from the bottom of the heap to the top in term of hunting accidents, Robertson said. Statu tics show that in 1956 Utah had the wont hunter accident nte in the United States. There were 128 hunting accidents that year with 38 of them occurring during the deer hunt Twenty-tw-o people died in 1956 from hunting accidents, 12 of them in the deer season. It haa taken time and pbnty of hard work by a great many dedicated people, like hunter safety instructors, but the trend has been steadily improving through the year. In 1966 Utah had 21 accident and four fatalities. Eight of the hunting incident and three of the deaths occurred in the pursuit of deer. Here b the clincher (knock on wood): Thus for in 1976 there have been only five hunting accidents and only one fatality due to hunting. The accidents happened in the deer hunt, as did the death. But the death was during the archery hunt, which wu unusual. Robertson said, "We have come a long way in hunter safety. We had 180,000 firearm deer approximately hunters and not one fatal accident. That's commendable. It's not good enough, but it . b definitely better. Robertson said he feeb that there are three principle reasons for the success in hunter safety. Hunter orange clothing requirements hive made hunters more visible, and the buck only deer hunts have made hunters look more closely before shooting. Both of those have contributed to the overall trend in hunter safety. The third factor, although somewhat more subtle, is perhaps just as responsible. Hunter safety instructors have been trained (some 8,000 statewide) and, in turn, have instructed approximately 285,000 students in the last 18 years. "We feel thb contribution, and we mean both the instructor's and the students', haa really made a difference" Robertson said. He added, 1 think we are seeing a whole new class of hunter beginning to emerge.
