A step has been taken to help deer hunters prepare for changes that will occur in Utah in 2012. On May 5, members of the Utah Wildlife Board reduced the number of general-season buck deer hunting permits by 7,000 for the 2011 hunts. Not all big game hunting permits for this fall's hunts went down in number, though. For example, the number of general spike bull elk permits was increased to 15,000. And the number of mountain goat permits — a once-in-a-lifetime permit that's difficult to draw — was increased to 133. Buck deer permits Biologists estimate the total number of deer in Utah at more than 290,000 animals. While many of Utah's deer herds are doing well, biologists are concerned about the number of fawns per 100 does, and the number of bucks per 100 does, they've seen in certain parts of the state. They're also concerned about how easy it will be for hunters to transition to deer hunting changes that will happen in Utah in 2012. "We don't know for sure yet," says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, "but we may have to recommend cutting general-season buck deer permits by as many as 13,000 by 2012." Rather than hit hunters with the cuts all at once, Aoude says biologists recommended to the board that they cut some of the permits HALE ART GALLERY OPEN NEW WORK NEW ARTISTS 63 N. MAIN ST.

Reynolds CPA, PLLC M••••••••••• 111{11 Till 19c' Forewarned is Forearmed With all of the schools in Utah at this meet, along with teams from Idaho and Wyoming the competition is very tough. Kalani Norris finished 2nd in all classifications 1A-5A in the discus, breaking the school record previously held by Halie Sawyer, her throw was 122'5 inches.

"If they start cutting permits now," Aoude says, "the final cuts won't have to be as severe in 2012." The DWR recommended cutting a total of 5,000 permits. In addition to approving the DWR's recommendation, the Wildlife Board also cut an additional 2,000 permits in the Northeastern Region. The additional 2,000-permit cut was recommended to the board by the Northeastern Wildlife Regional Advisory Council. (In addition to the rifle and muzzleloader permits, the board also approved 16,000 general archery deer permits for 2011. The 16,000 permits are the same number of general archery deer permits the board approved in 2010.) The deer hunting changes will happen in 2012 because the minimum number of bucks per 100 does has been increased in Utah's deer management plan. In the past, biologists managed the state's deer hunts with a goal of finding at least 15 bucks per 100 does after the hunts were over in the fall. Starting with the 2012 hunts, biologists will manage the hunts with a goal of finding at least 18 bucks per 100 does after the hunts are over. The Utah Wildlife Board won't set permit numbers for 2012 until next year. But biologists know the number of permits will have to be reduced to reach the new 18 bucks per 100 does objec- tive. More permits While members of the Wildlife Board reduced the number of general-season deer permits, they kept permit numbers for most of Utah's big game animals similar to 2010. And, in some cases, the number of permits went up. "Overall, Utah's big game animals are doing well," Aoude says. "There are plenty of opportunities to hunt big game in Utah." How to get a permit How and when you obtain a big game permit depends on which big game animal you'd like to hunt: With the exception of Utah's general bull elk hunt, applications to hunt male big game animals have already been accepted. Results of the 2011 big game draw will be available by May 31. Any limited-entry permits that aren't taken in the draw will be available — on a first-come, first-served basis — starting July 19. Permits to hunt during the state's general bull elk hunt will also be available on a first-come, firstserved basis starting July 27. Also, any general deer permits that aren't taken in the big game draw will also be available — first-come, first-served — starting July 27. You can apply for a doe deer, cow elk or doe pronghorn permit starting June 1. Results of the 2011 antlerless draw will be available by July 14. ART 6 PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS IN TROPIC, UT The Gallery at Clarke's is offering one-day plein air painting workshops and a photography field trip on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18. Brad Holt, of Cedar City, and John Huerta, Jr. of Ogden, are highly talented plein air painters that regularly participate in art events throughout the State of Utah. Brad concentrates primarily in Southern Utah, while John's venue is further north. Each artist has won numerous awards. This is a fine opportunity for painting enthusiasts to spend a day outdoors to hone their skills with patient, able teachers. You don't have to be an advanced painter to participate, only a willingness to have a good time while expanding your techniques is all that's required. The one-day photography workshop will be led by professional photographer Bob Hills with the able guidance of Wes Clarke. Bob Hills' stunning black and white photography of slot canyons throughout the Bryce Valley and surrounding area has been accepted by LensWork, the renowned premiere photography magazine. LensWork is published six times a year and features a very limited selection of photographers, the best in the nation. We are proud that Bob Hills was selected for this honor, and that his work was accomplished during The Gallery at Clarke's art activities. This is a great chance to get some cool tips from the professionals. The painting workshops and the photography field trip are each limited to five participants. Fees are $75 per person for the painting sessions, and $125 for the photography field trip.
