Show 'k Season Schedule1 To Begin Sept. 30 Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officers are expecting expec-ting a few more hunters in the field for the 1981 elk hunt September 30 through October Octo-ber 13 than in 1980. Division Big Game Coordinator Coordi-nator Grant Jense also predicts an increased harvest over 1980. He is hopeful that a continued cooling trend and another storm may be helpful to elk hunters. During the last several years, hot dry conditions have hindered elk hunting in Utah. In 1980. 16.694 hunters harvested 1,824 bull elk in the open bull areas. In the restricted areas, 1,921 hunters hunt-ers harvested 156 bulls, 537 cows and 74 calves. "All of our elk herds in the state arc stable or on an upward trend." comments Jcnse. |
