Show SoJiilford Opened forPheasantShoot Elsewhere in this issue of The News appears an amended procla-mation procla-mation of the Utah Fish and -Game comlmission concerning the 1943 open season for the hunting of male pheasants in Beaver county. The original proclama1-tion, proclama1-tion, published in the state papers, was misleading, insofar as Beaver county was concerned, and the amended proclamation was made necessary. iFor that part of Beaver county lying east of the Mineral mountains, moun-tains, and including the Miners- j ville fields, the open season will be three days, October 30-31 and November 1 and the bag limit is three male birds each day. j For the first time in Beaver county the South Milford area will be opened this year, but for only two days (October 30-31) and only within a carefully described area, though the bag limit will be three male birds for each of the two days. The exact boundaries of the open area may be learned by reading the official proclamation proclama-tion appearing on page 5, but, roughly speaking, no hunting at all will be permitted north of highway 21 from the Minersville junction to the Union Pacific tracks crossing at Milford, nor on the Union Pacific right-of-way or ! west of the main line tracks from Milford to the Beaver-Iron county line. There should be, within the, open area, some of the best shoot- ing in the state, and wardens will j be on hand to see that the bound-! aries are not overstepped. I A few small areas within the pooled farm area1, those provid- j ! ing good cover, likely will be st I up as bird refuges and these will be specially posted against hunt- i ing even during this open season. ' I Incidentally, in order to hunt ' pheasants within this or any other : open area, it is necessary that a I hunting license be in the posses-! ! sion of the hunter, and, in order j I to hunt the newly opened areaj special permits, costing $1.00 each, must be purchased. All t funds realized from the sale of , these special permits will be used for improvement of the Sonth ! ! Milford Community club house ! and for other community purposes. ' l Not one cent will go to any indi- ! vidual though the fact that so j ' many pheasants are now thriving in the South Milford area is due , laTgely to the cooperation of the farmers with the Milford Wild- . life Protective association and the state fish and game commission, t who have furnished four and five times the number of pheasants ' for planting since the local club . was organized, as compared with conditions when there was only a county organization in existence. |
