Show Utah Duck Hunting Good, Says Director The ducks are here and those hunters who are finding time to spend In the marshes are getting their four-bird quota. This was the statement made today to-day by Fish and Game Director Ross Leonard, following a Statewide State-wide survey of waterfowl shooting conditions. "The field men report fair kills all over the State. The birds, can-vasbacks, can-vasbacks, mallards, pintails and all of the big ducks are thicks, and with a four bird limit, the kill has been almost exclusively In the big duck bracket,'" Mr. Leonard said. What the snows and the possible freeze-up of the marshes will do to the huntinc, remains to be seen, he said. Ice will likely give added Impetus to the shoot for a week or so. Goose hunting has been good for those hunters who have forgotten the ducks and placed themselves in the flight lanes for the big birds, the director said. |
