Show Waterfowl Season Prospects Good, Say Spokesmen Waterfowl gunners open the 80 day Utah season Saturday morning, morn-ing, Oct. 15, at 6:10 a. m. Shooting Shoot-ing continues daUy through Jan. 2, 1956. The department of fish and game said prospects were bright for duck hunting this year. Managers Man-agers for the six state-owned public marshes say average or larger numbers of ducks are present in nearly all hunting areas. The shoot is expected to continue con-tinue good as later migrating flights come down from the northern breeding grounds where a better:than-average hatch of birds is noted. Bag limit for ducks is nine, providing the limit contains three widgeon or pintail. These are bonus species again this year. Following two or more days of hunting a possession limit of 15 birds is allowed, again provided such limit contains at Jeast three of the bonus species. Both bag and possession limit for geese is six birds. Only two of these may be of the dark, or Canadian species. Waterfowl must be properly tagged whenever they are not in possession of the hunter who killed them. They may not be shipped or transported at any without head, head plumage, and feet attached. |
