Show Friday February I-C-EU 14 1981 Deer make canyon driving hazardous By Vance Hang staff writer Dented fenders and dead deer along Utah's mountain highways seem to be a common sight for many Utahns around this time of year It almost seems that our fourlegged friends appear out of nowhere at the worst possible moment or in the worst driving conditions Many a Utah resident has been heard wondering out loud "How come I didn't see a single deer all hunting season and as soon as the roads get slick and the visibility gets bad I have them running out in front of my car by the dozens?" There is of course a very simple explanation to this perplexing question The answer is hunger Deer have a nature-givetime clock built into them that often allows them to avoid When the starvation situations weather begins to turn cold the mule deer’s (named for their long mulelike ears) inner time clock tells him that it is time to start moving to n lower elevations in search of easy access foods and browse Although the first snow has probably not fallen yet the mule deer instinctively knows that his present high elevation food supply will soon be almost impossible to cat or even reach as it will be covered with snow As the deer move down and begin to feed regularly at these lower elevations they often find themselves in a completely new environment that is not controlled by the winds and snows of nature but by an "enemy" just as deadly man Unfortunately for the deer most of these lower feeding grounds are over-ru- n by private and public roads as well as interstates and highways Not because they want to but because they have to in order to survive these deer quickly become accustomed to feeding alongside these roads with streams of roaring cars and trucks surging by 24 hours a day Therefore there are literally hundreds of deer browsing next to some of the busiest and most traveled roads in the state As a patch of food on onesideof the road is eaten it is only natural for the animals to cross to the other side in search of more This plus the fact that deer are more active at sun-u- p and sunset are the reasons for deer-ca- r encounters Most studies show that deer and other animals tend to "freeze" momentarily when caught in a sudden flash of light This explains why many people say they usually have close encounters with deer at night The driver doesn’t see the deer until it’s in his headlights The deer freezes and by the time either reacts it's often too late Although the deer population has been hit hard by recent winters the herds are once again on the uprise As recently reported to the Sun Division of Wildife Advocate Resource big game coordinator Grant Jensen stated in reference to Some of the regular Milky Way patrons enjoy a class break eating Doc and llene's famous home-mad- e cooking The the deer population statistics obtained after hunting season that "The harvest increased last year bui is still down about 50 percent from the five year average because of the harsh winter of 1983-8- 4 It will take another two to three years to get the harvest level back up where it should Milky Way College hangout the past 40 years be" It seems that the better the deer By Todd Green staff writer herds are the more deer are hit by cars each year This is yet another classic example where civilization and the animal kingdom come together and the end result is destruction So in these next few winter months especially at night drive The Milky Way has been the college hangout for about 40 years It was built from 1946 to 1947 and The opened in September of owners Dominic "Doc" and Been Oliveto were married in June of 1947 slowly and keep your eyes on the lookout fur hungry deer feeding along the highway Hopefully your next

time you go in The food’s good taste can be contributed to the freshness and care the owners use Their french fries are made from real potatoes cut up at the Milky Way They also grind their beef and
