Show WILL MAKE SURVEY OF NUMBER OF DEER f IN BEAVER DISTRICT Ranger Cox informs us that Forest For-est Supervisors C. A. Mattson and J. C. Olsen of Richfield and perhaps the State Game Commissioner Mr. Mee-ham, Mee-ham, expect to arrive in Beaver oti March 14, to make a short investigation investiga-tion of the numbers of deer in Piute and Beaver Counties. Sportsmen, cattle and sheep men who are interested are urged to be in readiness to make the trip. Ranger Rang-er Cox will be advised of further particulars. par-ticulars. It of course cannot be hoped to make anything like a 100 per cent count. In a general roundup of cattle cat-tle on the range it is seldom that 40 per cent of the cattle are seen. Deer are much wilder than cattle, stay in the rougher and more inaccessible places and are so much like the cover cov-er of the ground and are otherwise so difficult to see that their exact numbers are very har to determine. However, by riding out over the range one can at least learn more about actual conditions than by stay- ing on the city streets. One should be able to see from 1 Oto 25 per cent of the deer of the locality over which the inspection is made. hTe exact per cent seen will of course depend on the intensity and scop of the inspection. |
