Proclamations giving regulations reg-ulations on one side and colored maps detailing the types of hunts in each unit are available to anyone writing to or calling at department headquarters, 159C West North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. I The general season allows an either sex animal as legal game in most sections' of the state with the hunt continuing through Nov. 1 on nearly all units. Major limited lim-ited exceptions to these general terms are the buck only hunts' on the San Rafael, Tintic and West Desert units; the shorter season of Oct. 22 through Oct. 27 for the Heaston, Stansbury, Vernon and Raft River units. Longer seasons, extended week end hunts, 10 districts where the board set unlimited extra doe permits', and several other management man-agement rulings are all shown in the 1955 deer hunting proclamation. |
