By Bert Lowry Once each year Utah has a day set aside for everyone (well almost everyone) to get out and enjoy our great outdoors It s a day w hen there is no fee to engage in the age-ol- d pursuit of the finny denizens of the water One may also visit any or all of our wondrous state parks and recreation areas w ith no entrance fee charged This "free" day is a golden opportunity to break the routine of everyday living If you missed it and still want to go fishing you now need to purchase a license I'm often amazed at those who cry and moan at the cost of a fishing or hunting license Someday someone ought to make a comparison of the use fees for the various outdoor sports I'm not a golfer or a skier but I pick up here and there w ill comments about what one must pay as a daily fee for green fees or lifts or run fees At the end of a day’s enjoy ment of cither of these two sports one must pack up all their tools (equipment) and go home with no possibility of picking up a product for their efforts With fishing or hunting one has the added bonus of the possibility of continuing the enjoyment by way of fresh mountain trout sizzling in the pan or a delectable venison roast garnering the dinner table there are few outdoor sports that give such a double whammy as hunting and fishing In fact Your options arc extremely varied in both of these endeavors If you don't want to keep the fish you catch you join the catch and release group If bait (worms cheese marshmallows etc) turns you off you can use straight hardware (spoons spinners etc) or you can go the artificial fly route If you want a greater challenge you can use the "last the water to foam" technique of the simple spool reel and a long rod w ith big old heavy fine or you can use a lightweight spinning outfit monofilament (fluorescent) with a water-fillebubble weight Or if you still have d and line for one around you might even go with the old casting reel w ith its propensity to backlash Everyone ought to have to get down and undo at least one good backlash Hunting also has variations of types of weapons to use: whether or not to use iron sights or scope whether or not to use a modem rifle or a muzzleloader or if you arc into a real challenge use archery tackle to pursue the quarry And for you animalrightixts there are actually some archers who use a blunt arrow that does nothing more than give the animal a thump on the side There are aNo the hunters who will not feel good about the hunt if they don't sneak up to within a few feet of their prey Most outdoor sports have the challenge of overcoming ones ow n inadequacies or challenging another participant Only hunting or fishing give man the challenge of overcoming the superior physical strength and inherent survival instincts of another creature a creature that has a high biotic potential to reproduce itself because it is by the edict of ole Mother Nature a prey animal The Ios of a high percentage of these animals is decreed whether man hunts them or not Properly managed wildlife can provide animals for photography viewing and harvest by man The key is on being properly managed Three Area High School Rodeo Stars Headed For Nationals HEBER CITY — Hay ley Jo Nielson and Jesse Sheffield won championship saddles at the Utah State High School Rodeo Finals over the weekend Nielson a sophomore at South Sev ier High School lied for first and won a championship saddle in goat tying She was second in both the first go around and the final go around Neilson also placed third in the first go around and second in the final go around to place third overall in the breakaway calf roping Sheffield a freshman at Wayne High School and member of the breakaway calf roping Marty Trapp sixth and Weston" Albrecht 10th in saddle broncs Blu Beck-stea- d placed fifth in the first go Henry Mountain Rodeo Club placed first in the final go around and first in average to w in the calf roping championship saddle He also won the 1994 Rookie Cowboy of the Year buckle Shantell Ogden won the second go around in the girls cutting event and was fourth overall She won one of two SI 000 UHSRA scholarships Nielson Sheffield and Ogden will go to the National High School Rodeo Finals at Gillette Wyoming in July Other lop ten performances included Amanda Sudweeks sixth in around in saddle broncs and Colby Smith of Piute along with his partner Yates Wright of Kanab placed ninth overall in team roping THE LlGIND OF CURLY'S GOLD" ft BILLY CRYSTAL Macauley Culkine and Ted Dansen in rr in Getting Even With Dad Rated pg Please Not: City Sllckr II and Getting Even With Dad ar both Special Engagement! -
