Show Pheasant program explained the close of the recent pheasant hunt, any hunter could have told you that the wily ringnecks aren't as abundant as they once were. First brought to Utah in 1895, pheasant numbers peaked in the late 1950s when sportsmen harvested over 300.000 birds in one season. Since that time hunter success has declined on the average about two percent per year. Pheasants are the most popular of 18 small game species with about 80.000 hunters afield annually. But At pheasant management problems are among the most difficult to solve. There are two basic problems. First, pheasant habitat is shrinking and quality habitat is declining. Second, public access to private land is declining so there is less land open to hunters. Habitat loss is subtle and sidious. An in- increasing human population, from 689,000 in 1950 to 1.316.000 by 1978, has meant more roads, subdivisions and businesses which have consumed large amounts of prime agricultural land. The 1980 National Lands Study indicated Utah lost 100,000 acres of land agricultural to urban development from 1967 to 1977. Another 230,000 acres is expected to be lost by 1990. Agricultural technology has worked against pheasants too. and technology Improved mechanization have brought greater production efficiency and crop surpluses which depress prices. Depressed prices have caused a decline in small family farms in favor of corporate giants. indicate that statistics Agricultural in the next 20 years the number of U.S. farms will decline by about one third. Field sizes have also increased, since larger equipment is more energy efficient. Our surveys indicate that field size doubled between 1946 and 1966, removing miles of valuable fenceline nesting and tract land cover. Weedy fencerows have declined. More efficient water delivery systems such as concrete I)mmUr (. put into production. Fall plowing is the rule now, reducing the amount of corn stubble and waste grain available to pheasants. A proposed wildlife license fee increase, to be considered by the 1985 Utah Lesgislature, would provide much of the additional revenue necessary to reverse, or at least slow, this alarming downward trend in pheasant habitat. With adequate funding, the Division could maintain, consolidate, exchange, or lease additional prime upland game habitat. This would include marshes which have value for nongame and waterfowl as well. In order to provide for both habitat and the recreational needs of sportsmen, there should be at least 640 acres of upland game habitat per county, with no less than 160 contiguous acres managed for pheasants, quail, cottontail rabbits and doves. Without agressive management efforts in the next five years, upland game wildlife and Utah hunters face a dim future marked by continued loss of habitat and decreased hunting opportunity. But with enough money and time, the states remaining upland game habitat can be improved and managed at a reasonable level to preserve wildlife and to provide hunting opportunity for Utah Sportsmen. y. 1 EASY CHEESE FONDUE can (10 ounces) Frito-Lay- s brand Cheddar and Jalapeno Flavor Cheese Dip H cup tomato Juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce In medium saucepot combine all ingredients; mix well.
