These hunters, with their primiabout zle-load- er tive weapons, will be out NovemOther than a few antlerless control permits, it will all be over for another year. For my family, deer hunting is more an excuse for a family outing than a serious hunt We spent the ber 2. first three days of the season in a remote corner of the Bookcliffs, a spot that is hard to get to because of a rough and rocky road, but isolated enough we had plenty of country to ourselves. Everyone had a wonderful time. We got our exercise, and as an added bonus, my oldest daughter and I were able to get nice bucks for the freezer. That was Carrie Maries second four-poiin as many years. Not bad for a seventeen-year-olnt d. Im sure every deer hunter the Bookcliffs are. knows where Thats the area south of the Uintah Basin between the Colorado line and the Green River. The same place the state is planing on putting a new paved road. This road will undoubtedly help the economy of the Basin in more ways than one. It will mean more jobs for the construction industry, at a time when unemployment is up. It will mean a vital link with interstate highway in central Utah. This is bound to increase tourism which in turn will help our local merchants. It will mean we will be able to drive to Grand Junction, Colorado in half the time it now takes. 111 be able to get to my secret deer ridge a lot quicker. It sounds like a wonderful plan, but every coin has two sides. Thirty years ago I went on a fishing trip with my father. We loaded horses before daylight, drove to the trailhead, saddled up, rode all day, and pitched our tent on the shore of Chepeta Lake with the help of a flashlight. We stayed Prime Cant Invites You In To get acquainted with the newest member of their fine staff of professionals. The cattle produced today mi Utah ranches are much leaner than those produced 20 years ago, thanks in large measure to a cooperative effort among feedlot operators and USU researchers.

It was a fishing trip I'll never forget Today it is possible to leave Roosevelt in an automobile and be fishing Chepeta in less than two hours. The only problem is, thirty yean ago, I could catch more trout in five minutes than Ive caught out of Chepeta in the last five years. The moral os this story is simple: where man progresses, wildlife suffers. All parents want their children to have abetter life than they had. Every generation wants to leave the world a better place than they found it. What we must decide is, what constitutes better. I only hope that thirty years from now, my childrens memories of the Book Cliffs arent like my memories of Chepeta. Something lost forever. As you put away your deer rifle for the winter, please double check and make sure no cartridges remain in the magazine or chamber. Always store ammunition away from your firearms and in a place inaccessible to children. (Formerly of Shear Pleasure) has 8 years experience in the finest hair & nail care.

"Our goal is to mako sure our cattle meet those demands." A group of northern Utah feed-loperators known aa the Ogden Area Beef Feeders, work with extension specialists and USU researchers to produce marketable beef at the greatest return. The research, conducted a few miles southwest of Logan at the Utah Agricultural experiment Stations south farm, tests a variety of feeds, feed supplements, feed additives, implants and parasite control measures. The feeds are supplied by the Ogden Ana Beef Feeders. In the past three years, 218 head of cattle have been tested. The results an often dramatic. For example, one brand of cattle implant increased rate of return by $26 for every $1 invested in implants. In another test, feed additives increased feed Stenquist efficiency by 10-1- 2, says. Researchers are tasting a product of biotechnology research called Melengestrol Acetate, which controls the estrous cycle to prevent range cattle from cycling before theyre brought into the feedlot for finishing: "This product, if successful, will have a direct economic benefit for Utahs ranchers and feedlot operators, sines a heifer that enters the feedlot pregnant is automatically worth $100 less, Stenquist says.
