Show Timpanogos not part of coming elk hunt The 75 lucky hunters who drew antlerless elk permits for the Salt Lake-Timpanogos unit - beware! The name of the unit is deceiving. It implies that lucky hunters who drew an antlerless permit may hunt on the Timpanogos part of the unit. If hunters will read the written description of the hunt unit in the 1985 Big Game Proclamation, they will notice everything south of the Big Cottonwood Canyon road in Salt Lake County is not included in the hunt area. American Fork Canyon and all of the Utah County part of the unit is not open to these permits. This area will only be open to possessers of open bull elk permits. Those with antlerless permits found hunting outside of the prescribed unit will be cited. The antlerless ' unit includes: beginning at the junction of Highway High-way 40 and Interstate 80 in Summit County; then southeasterly along U.S. 40 to the Summit-Wasatch County line; southwesterly along this county line to the Salt Lake-Wasatch Lake-Wasatch County line; then southerly along this county inp , Highway U-152 at Guardsman Pa, then westerly along ij.152-S; Wasatch Boulevard; then norther 1 ! along Wasatch Boulevard to l m 1 then easterly along 1-80 Highway J" i These permits are restrfcJ , because winter habitat is iimi,!5 I, and the elk are forced too close populated areas where conflict, V arise. 14 Remember hunters, only those nf J you with elk permits may carr' f rifles during the hunt.
