Show Shortage in Numbers Given for Poor Hunter Success The annual deer hunt which opened at daylight last Saturday morning doesn't seem to be turning turn-ing out very good, if reports' from hunters In the various surrounding surround-ing areas are true. While this I area has had the biggest infJux of hunters In its history, hunter j success seems to be the lowest in many years. i Parties who have hunted in a certain locality year after year, with almost 100 per cent success, returned home with only about a 25 per cent this year. It is reported re-ported that many large camps out in the special hunt area to the southeast of Parowan valley were having a hard time to find any deer on the opening two days of the season. But some hunters are bringing in deer during the week, with reports re-ports that the deer are high up in the mountains and" scattered, with no big herds banded together togeth-er as they are some years, this mostly because of the warm open fall with no storm or cold weather weath-er to drive them down to lower elevations. Many and varied reasons have been advanced as to the cause of the poor kUl, but It seems that most of the older regular hunters hunt-ers are of the opinion that the deer are "Just not there." |
