Show Wildlife Board Reviews Night Hunting Rules at Recent Meet The Wildlife Board, at their recent Logan meeting reviewed night hunting rules and regulations regu-lations set for one year ago and heard recommended changes chan-ges from the Division of Wildlife Wild-life Resources and sportsmen. Assistant Law Enforcement Chief Dean Spackman outlined Division recommendations to the Board, which include charging charg-ing a fee for night registration, a definition of night hunting and elimination of the requirement require-ment to register with county sheriffs. The amount of the fee was not designated. Art Sandlin, of the Utah Wildlife Federation, told the Board he agreed with Diviison J recommendations and gave ad-to ad-to register vehicle numbers for identification of night hunters. This, he said, would aid night hunters to "police their own ranks." He felt a restrictive fee should be charged in order to "eliminate persons who only want to go out one night , as opposed to the dedicated night hunter." Sandlin noted that prohibition prohibit-ion of shining lights on game animals is to strict as it is necessary to spotlight animals to identify them. ''Our attitude is not to shoot at eyes. However How-ever if wc can't shine the light on the animal, we have to do just that," he said. |
