Grandison said The number of poaching inci In the southeastern corner of Utah, the number of deer taken in the San Juan and LaSal units was down about 10 to 20 percent this year, said Steve Flinders, Southeastern Region wildlife manager. Both units had some of Utahs highest success rates in 1998. Hunter pressure was phenomenal in the two units in 1998 and hunters really took a lot of bucks, Flinders said. That really hurt buck to doe ratios in the two, small units. Flinders said success on the portion of the Manti unit located in the Southeastern Region was about the same as last year. Included among the deer taken in the unit were several high quality, mature deer. In southwest Utah, the number of deer taken was up slightly, said Jeff Grandison, wildlife manager in . the Division's Southern Region.

We did see a greater than normal per3 centage of 2 and older deer at all of our Central Region check stations this year, Liechty said. In northeast Utah, the number of hunters appeared to be lower than last year and was probably more in line with the target number of 15,900 total permits allocated to the deer hunt area. Northeastern Region Wildlife Manager Steve Cranney said fewer hunters were checked by biologists at both the Strawberry Valley and Manila deer check stations. The number of bucks checked at both check stations was also lower, although the percentage of mature bucks was higher than previous years, with the Strawberry Valley station showing almost 50 percent mature bucks in the harvest 'Die only area that appeared significantly lower in success was the eastern portion of the South Slope unit north of Roosevelt This may have been due to heavy antlerless elk hunting pressure in the area for several weeks prior to the deer hunt opener Cranney said. 722-358- 290 Located RaQ'C 200 East 8 South with....

They dont realize that if you are running late and then see a clock set ten minutes ahead, and know you sue going to be on time, that if it wasn't set ten minutes ahead it would really be that exact time, causing you to BE It has come to my attention that the world is divided into two types people: those who set their clocks 1 0 minutes fast and those who dont. Humankind, plain and simple, can be categorized into two types of folks: 1) Those who understand the logic behind adjusting timepieces to re- fleet that there are 10 minutes less left in their day; and 2) Those who cannot comprehend why someone would try to trick themselves into believing that they are running ten minutes late when they are really on time. I happen to belong in the first, logical group, while the rest of my family, I sadly admit, dwell in the number 2 group a group which, through no fault of mine, cannot understand that when the clock says 8:10 (even though it is set ten minutes fast) that if it really were 8:10, it would indeed be 8:20 AND WE BE LATE FOR WOULD WHEREEVER WE ARE SUP- POSED TO BE.

VERNAL-La- st Perfect fall weather, scattered deer and fewer calls on the Division of Wildlife Resources poaching hotline were all part of Utahs recently completed general season buck deer hunt The hunt ran Oct. 23 - 31 and featured ideal fall weather for the estimated 80,000 hunters, and thousands of their nonhunting family and friends, who took to the hills and mountains of the state to eijoy a Utah tradition. For most of the hunt they were greeted with crisp mornings and warm days that allowed great access to hunting areas, and pleasant conditions for walking the hills in search of deer and relaxing at camp. The warm, dry weather also seemed to affect hunter success this year. In the Division's Northern Region, the number of deer checked at its six check stations Oct. 23 and 24 was up about 1 5 percent over last year, said Northern Region Wildlife Manager Lou Cornicelli.
