Show September 29. 2000 - The Eureka Reporter - Page Three Low water means better duck hunting lower Great Salt Lake water level, coupled with one of the largest fall flights of ducks on record, are providing Utah's waterfowl hunters reasons to be excited about the states upcoming duck hunting season. Utah's general waterfowl season begins Oct. 7. Shooting begins at 8 a.m. in Box Elder. Cache. Weber, Davis and Salt Lake counties, and 7 a.m. across A the rest of the state. waterfowl Tom Aldrich, coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says the water level of the Great Salt Lake has dropped about 1 12 feet from last year and that should help hunting. The decreased level has kept salt water from intruding into fresh water marshes, providing more aquatic plants for ducks eutaiLIIIMWBQStMg I PRESIDENT HOMES and geese to eat. Also, as the water level has dropped, shallow water and shovelers are 73 percent above their long-teraverage. Pintail numbers fell, however, dropping 5 percent from last year. Pintail populations remain 33 perent below their long-teraverage. Canada goose numbers should be average, or above average this year, Aldrich said. The number of Canada geese pairs breeding locally last spring was up 13 percent from 1999, and up 6 averpercent over the long-terage. The number of young produced was up 30 percent from last year, and up 28 percent over the long-teraverage. Tundra swan hunters should also see good numbers of swans migrating through Utah again this season, Aldrich said. Aldrich said habitat and access conditions are good at state waterfowl management areas along the east shore of the Great Salt Lake. Because of the dry year, some of the Divisions spring-fe- d marshes, such as the Clear Lake WMA near Delta , will be drier this year. Water must be pumped to the Browns Park WMA near Flaming Gorge Reservoir, and it also will ! c drier this year. Aldrich enourages hunters to biush up on their duck identifi-caiio- n before the season begins. He also reminds hunters that the Pintail Unit of the Public Shooting Grounds WMA; the East Pond and Rainbow units of the Harold Crame WMA; and the South Crystal Unit of the Farmington Boy WMA are closed to the use of motorized boats this season. The use of motorized boats by waterfowl hunters has increased rapidly in Utah over the past few seasons. Aldrich said the Division wanted to close a few areas to provide additional places walk-i- n and nonmotorized boat hunters could go for a quality hunting experience.

These are important to ducks and geese when hunting pressure pushes them off fresh water marshes. The birds will loaf and rest in these areas during the day and then return to the hunting areas in the mornings and evenings to feed. Many of these areas didn't exist last season and when hunting pressure became too intense, birds left the state. "With the decline this year over last year, were expecting the Great Salt Lake to probably hold more birds for a longer period of time than what weve experienced the last few years, Aldrich said. "Because of that. Im looking forward to a season thats probably going to be slightly improved over last year, and last year was an OK season. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates the number of ducks migrating across North America this season at about 90 million birds. Thats the third highest count since the Service began issuing a fall flight report in 1970. A portion of those ducks will migrate through Utah.
