Front row L-Niel Sorensen, Mary Lois Madsen and Jack Madsen, Vice President. Pheasant hunting in Utah is a very popular sport. Unfortunately there is not a lot of space in Utah that is a natural habitat for pheasants. As a result the pheasant hunt becomes rather restricted to areas where hunters know there will be pheasants. Consequently the opening day concentrates the hunters in these areas to such an extent that many times hunting areas would tend to attempt control of numbers entering the areas. This also helps reduce damage to fences and other property of the land owners. Because of the concentration of hunters, particularly on the opening day of the hunt ideas have been discussed how damage to property, crops, livestock and the like can be reduced and at the same time allow orderly harvesting of the pheasant crop. Some people feel an earlier hunt, some think a longer hunt, some support both a longer and an earlier hunt, and many with any combination in between. It is apparent on occasion that no time and length of hunt will satisfy everyone. It is therefore significant that in establishing a length of hunt consideration should be given to the fact that most pheasants find their natural habitat on private lands. Ownership of lands where sportsmen, which includes farmers, hunt should be considered. Economic crops yet to be har-vestedsho- be important. Pheasant mortality rate should be taken into account Weather and season prospects should not be left out, along with a multitude of other In Utah also be significant that the hunt this year will run for two weekends in Salt Lake and Utah counties and three weekends in the rest of the state. This will be a year for evaluating the success of both a longer hunt and later hunt. Will this combination satisfy more people? These are matter Farmers and ranchers considering issues related to hunting should consider in the next few weeks in every county. Predator Control The recent publicity , about the death of eagles in Wyoming and Colorado has stirred up a lot of fuss among the instant ecology experts and certain conservation groups over the predator control program. Many of these people are saying that predators are no longer a menace to the sheep and livestock industry and that killing of them should be stopped. The livestock industry points out that predators, even with the present control program, still do thousands of dollars of damage annually. With the profit margin as narrow as it is, they say that if predators were allowed to increase unmolested, most sheep and cattlemen would be forced out of business. Money for the financing of the control program comes almost entirely from taxes assessed on the owners of sheep and cattle. The general public pays none of the cost of this program. Big game animals also benefit points. from the predator control The hunt this year will start later With the increasing in the year than it has in the past at program.of hunters each year, number the request of farm people who continues to mount for pressure helped make Farm Bureau policy herds. away for the past two years. It should larger game controlDoing would not with predator help increase big game. Some people have suggested that agricultural products being provided to the public have never been more nutritious, and carefully wholesome are now. But than they prepared there is room for improvement We aim to help people agriculture achieve it, declared. in he control programs should be completely eliminated and that the livestock industry be reimbursed for its losses from public funds. This they say would let the balance of nature to function, which would benefit everyone, so all should share in the cost of the damages done. |
