Show Wednesday, June COALITION 19, 1974 Page 14 WILDLIFE Deer Hunt Discussed Recommendations for the 1974 deer hunt are generally more conservative than those in 1973, according to Division of Wildlife Resources Game Management Chief Norman V. Hancock. The state Interagency Com1974 mittee concluded recently meetings with local, state and federal field personnel where 1973-7- 4 big game information and winter range data were presented and hunting seasons recommended. The committee, a fact finding arm for the Board of Big Game Control, is made up of one representative each from the Division, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. Data from Utahs 74 deer herd units indicated a downward trend in most deer populations. Some factors influencing this trend, according to Hancock, who is also chairman of the Interagency Committee, were deer winter losses of a year ago, a reduction in fawn crops on most herd units where 71 fawns per 100 does were recorded, and an increase in harvest of antlerless animals during the 1973 359-223- hunt. The above 3 fawn :doe ratio is a reduction of 12 fawns per 100 does below the ten year average, added the chief. A uniform opening date for the elk season is strongly supported by the Interagency group. The next step in setting 1974 hunts is to take the recommednations to to the Big Game Board at their various public meetings throughout the state. This years meeting schedule is June 21, Ogden; June 24, Beaver; June 25, Richfield; June 26, Price; June 27, Vernal; and June 28, Salt Lake City. The time and place can be learned by calling the Division office nearest the meeting. These public meetings are the appropriate place for interested citizens to voice their recommendations for die 1974 big game seasons.
