Ibis is just one of the unnecessary regulations affecting the use of sporting arms which hopefully will be changed by our Washington law makers in the year upcoming Toxic Lead Takes Toll “Due to toxic lead still being used in today’s shotgun shells by leading American and Canadian ammunition manufacturers some one million ducks geese and swans will die this year because of lead poisoning” according to a recent Conservation Newsletter from the National Wildlife Federation Ibese lead pellets are mistaken by shallow feeding waterfowl for grit They generate toxic fluids in the birds’ gizzards resulting in debilitation and frequent death An estimated 6000 tons of lead shot is scattered across the bottoms of our wet lands by we waterfowl hunters each year Hie problem is not new in fact has long been recognized In 1965 a project was set up by the ammunition manufacturers to see what could be done with lead shot that might render it harmless in waterfowl systems Several years and $100000 later it was clear that little could be dime with lead shot to alleviate the problem Iron shot had appeared as a possible alternative for years New research in this direction suggested the use of a new soft iron that might reduce barrel wear and tear — but the question was just how effectively would it bring down a duck? By 1969 the answers started coming in as continuing work with and field testing of the iron pellets showed comparable performance and little difference in the wear of the gun barrels Some Feel Manufacturers Dragging Feet Now granted that changes in production of shot and other factors add up to some real money there are those involved in the total project who think the manufacturers are dragging their feet as they forecast that iron shotshells are still only on the horizon somewhere The big loser until this change in pellets is made is th avid waterfowler who has been willing over the long years through license stamp and contributions to place his money where his mouth is to perpetuate and manage this resource Since surveys show that the average hunter fires five shots for every duck he bags he is also the transgressor by any other name Which points up the need for waterfowl hunters to take pen in hand and tell the folks he buys his shotgun shells from to hurry up the move to get the iron pelleted shot shells on the market Why wait when everyone stands to gain — at least a million waterfowl a year Yours for fun Casey I FAMOUS NAME HARNESS BOOTS Board Sets Date For 9 71 : fc Opening Major action at the Fish and Game Board meeting held in Salt Lake City involved setting the 1971 fishing regulations Board members set Saturday as the opening day May allowing sportsmen a three day weekend if they desire Manorial Day is Monday May tw1- - THE BOOT CUT j REG IMS 798 LADIES' WESTERN WEAR nsBACK i CLEARANCE ' Special Groups - large Selection ed down with red sale tags names latest colors and styles AVtRIC LADIES WESTERN fiT - “ t WESTERN tj - PANTS a All mark- famous BLOUSES LADIES LADIES SUITS ?) rttf-- ' ’RICES SLASHED TO it!-- : Ill -- - tX 1 3 j “l X ' fL£K' & KIDS COWBOY BOOTS A1 LEWISTON (UPI)—The general fishing season for Idaho next year will open the last weekend in May That was the decision of the Idaho Fish and Game Commission at its regular meeting here The commission — THE SIZE that you have been looking for now at a price poiiibie only in the at Sunset most popular western leg cut This is a special purchase of slight factory imperfects All permanent press POPULAR OVER III County Thursday JEANS M Season length and fishing hours remain the same but changes were made in bait regulations bag limits and dosed waters Com will be Illegal as bait on some waters end chumming is also outlawed on the same waters The board said chumming will not be allowed on the Green River below Flaming Gorge upper Blacksmith Fork upper Weber and the Wild Strawberry and the Koosharem Reservoir Members expressed the opinion that chumming was a poor way to catch trout and they passed the new rules in line with the same thinking which guided their forbidding the use of corn as bait on the Green and other anti-chuwaters In another move the board lowered the creel limit on trout from the Green Rim to six The move which reduces the present limit of eight Ash was designed to protect the fishery below the dam One major restriction was applied to Bear Lake A limit of 15 fish or seven pounds and one fish may not contain more than two mackinaw trout This move was in line with a similar measure taken by Idaho in order to protect ttw mack fishery Idaho Sets ’71 Fishing Season FAMOUS BRAND THE JEA- N— THE CUT 31 The new proclamation which becomes effective Jan 1 1971 also lists several waters dosed to angling Most of these are waters chemically treated in 1970 or new impoundments Other action taken by the Board included approval of the 1971-7- 2 budget and recodification of the fish and game laws The Board authorized the Division of Fish and Game to negotiate with Mountain Fuel Supply Company regarding an easement on Division lands in Duchesne HERE THEY ARE AGAIN t'sV- - a 99 Sunset has a complete lit t??jyselection ' UjT of leather 1 coots and vests ' IVY ' v - for men ladies and children made few changes from this year's regulations and dates One of the major changes was to cut the limit on the St Joe River in northern Idaho to three trout per day The commission said this was due to depletion of fish in the river Last month a car load of caustic soda dumped into the river in a train accident causing an extensive kill of fish in the famous stream : The Herald Journal-- 13 Elk Herds Sportsmen Reap Big Windfall Sportsmen’s programs li 15 JUST SAY CHARGE iT! - Use your bank charge card NO DOWN PAYMENT INSTANT CREDIT iM SPORT CENTERS 585 NORTH MAIN STREET LOGAN UTAH |
