Show I 1 biant violations OF THE GAME GAMB LAWS f alt it Is a well known tact fact that the agamo f dawg of tho state are being b openly I 1 and brazenly violated dally daily in washington county oy ff wrt 0 all j we doer aro are being killed butof out of season ki squall quail 4 have been slaughtered without 4 any regard copen ta open beason acason and fishing 8 ft la Is ti year ear round sport it Is sato safe to ta t ts a ay that very few ot of these violators of the fa law w carry a hunting or fishing jt 11 r cense with no warden in the county these the game hogs hoga have little to fear I 1 alie aaa ablaing sportsman who buys ai a license and does docs his hunting during season Is out of luck thoro there la Is vai very little little left for him to take ak I 1 f ev even n pheasants which wore intro deuced in this valley four years ago and on which there has never been IE ijen open season have hava been slaughtered aed to such an extent that it Is doubtful it there areas are as many birds now as were brought in at the beginning this in spite of the tact fact that each pheasant hen hatches out tour four to six sit young every spring tpring A striking instance of pheasant killing was witnessed last friday two hunters with shotguns were seen by motorists on th the e highway east to cross tho road about a hundred yards ahead of their machine nt at a point about halt half ft a mile west ci of f washington the men wore were going through the fence as aa the car drew draw abreast of them and ta 1 fr from ni the belt of one hung huhg a dead tl pheasant lien hen the car was slowed t and turned turied around but by this time i clip the men who had broken into a run its iia soon boon as the car slowed up had crossed an open field and after separ acing disappeared in the brush to the w north horth of the highway washington county needs the services of a full time game warden not protection for only six s ix months of the year washington county news Ly i it appears that the dixie people are gei getting beiting ting peeved and we do not blame them garfield county la Is in the same same condition and now it appears aliat that they want us to furnish a warden to donate his services or the services of tour wardens during the time the fishing season Is closed just when aneed we en eed one bad and then than the state i to hire one during the open season now it seems that tho the state depart 4 ment havo have deputies in other parts of the state regular we can mention 4 these counties it if necessary as they are not very far away from us and those these counties have very little water 10 lo watch but wo must 10 lo do without without a deputy until fishing season opens we v can aso also safely say that no season ever er opens without a deep walk made uri up and down every stream in tills i s se section action or any other section where a paid warden Is not employed it seems that the department wants to balance up tho the amount of fishing license sold in this county against the amount paid a warden that Is all wrong the writer of this article has been quite a 0 fisherman has haa always bought two licenses overy every year and has usually been among the first on the streams and lake never yet have wa we been up at the lake but what what we could find ten to one outsiders fishing and very few people iron from i this section one trip we count ed tyone ty one people from outside of grfield county fishing on the streams and two men from garfield Gartl eld and kane counties so therefore we ve believe it IH all wrong we have a wonderful hatchery here now and are mighty thankful tor for it I 1 t and a great many fish are aie being planted aud and we are grateful from the bottom of our hearts for af that but why lot let the results and efforts of this hatchery go to waste by turning the public publia loose six sit months during the year to willfully do as they please and as aa the washington county news states the ones that commit these deeds are not sports and never buy a license Neit neither iier does the news believe that a couple of politicians should have the appointment of a game warden to servia a population as aa big as we have down this way wa would suggest that they take the cli chairman airman of the he county commissioners of each pollyl cal party the preb ae def t of the nod hod and oun gun club the commercial club and any other organization and let them nil lill get together and appoint a real ile he man some borne man that has a always purchased seda a fishing and hunting hunta license has been among the sports enough to know their ways and above nil all id 19 not afraid to lo go eo direct to them and make them pay tho the penalty for or breaking the game laws this mamby pamby mealy mouthed business should not go we abou should id protect the fish and game business for or all it Is worth and no one Is going to do this for or nothing and no pot of some politician to la going to do it either no matter who ho he Is or from what state town or county ho he comes from arom it must be a man that will do hla his duty in every sense of the word it if there Is not enough money in the department to do this raise the foes fees until there Is enough and it la Is a cinch that fishing and hunting will be better when there Is better protection wo do not claim to be smart laough to say we are right but elleve bellevo that we are pretty good guess ers and that the scheme la Js worth trying out anyway we hato hate to wait till the ibah of juno june to go fishing and then find a beaten path on both sides of every creek in the country and all kinds of signs that someone has been fishing through the ice fee at panguitch Pan gultch lake and a path two feet deep up and down ipson creek during the spawning season the columns of 0 this paper are open for the discussion of this matter pro and con but unless you know what you are talking about dont waste time writing articles tor for we do know and can cah prove that every word wo we say bay is true |
