Most of the animals you saw were probably alive. But a fair number were probably dead, killed by vehicles flying down the road. “Roadsides attract big game animals because they’re plowed and salted,” says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “The plowing exposes the grass and other vegetation to the sun. That allows it to ‘green-up’ quicker than the other vegetation in the area. And the minerals in the salt are also something the animals want.” Deer, moose, and elk are usually cautious near roads during the day. But as soon as the sun goes down, everything changes. “The headlights of the vehicles blind the animals, and they can’t see the cars,” Aoude says. “They can see the headlights, but they don’t know there’s a vehicle attached to them.” Aoude provides the following tips to keep both you and the animals safe: - Slow down. - Put your cell phone down, keep your eyes open, and be alert. - Instead of looking only straight ahead, scan the side of the road as you drive. “By the time the animals are in front of you, it’s too late,” Aoude says. - If you’re traveling at night, keep your headlights on high beam as much as possible. - Watch for deer crossing signs. They’ll alert you to areas that have high numbers of deer, moose and elk. For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources, or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700. Kids can catch fish, shoot arrows, and drive remote-control ATVs at this year’s DNR Youth Outdoor Sports Fair. The sports fair is part of this year’s International Sportsmen’s Exposition. The expo will be held March 13 - 16 at the South Towne Exposition Center, 9575 S. State in Sandy. The cost to attend the exposition, which includes the youth fair, is $10 for those 13 years of age and older. Children 12 years of age and younger are free. The Youth Outdoor Sports Fair will be held on the south side of the exposition center. The Department of Natural Resources and three of its divisions— Wildlife Resources, Utah State Parks and Recreation, and Water Resources—are sponsoring this year’s fair. More than 20 activities await kids who attend the fair. Among the things kids can do: - Catch trout and possibly bluegills in a fishing pond and a fishing stream. - Shoot arrows at targets. - Make a survival kit, a turkey call and a petroglyph. - Tie fishing flies. - See how big they are compared to a deer, an elk or a moose! - Learn how to be safe in black bear country. - Drive remote control all-terrain vehicles. - Learn how to be safe while boating. - Learn how to conserve water. - Learn about a future career with the DNR. “The kids who attend the fair will have fun, and they’ll learn things that should make their next trip into the outdoors even more safe and enjoyable,” says Tammy Kikuchi, Marketing and Communications Director for the Department of Natural Resources.
