Show Pheasants And Quail Are Plentiful SALT LAKE CITY Utah pheasant and quail hunters should find a slight improvement in the upland bird population in the Beehive State fields and sagelands when the three-day 1947 hunt opens November 1. This was the prediction made today by Ross Leonard, Director, Utah Fish and Game Department, Depart-ment, following a recap of upland up-land bird conditions throughout all counties. The daily bag limit of three male birds, with a possession limit of six males, should give hunters an opportunity to satisfy their upland bird appetites, Mr. Leonard predicted. Areas for hunting will be the same as last season. The preserve pre-serve boundaries in Salt Lake, Weber and Utah counties are unchanged un-changed from a year ago, the Director said. The state this year will launch a heavy campaign against shooting shoot-ing of hen pheasants, Mr. Leonard Leon-ard said. "We will hire special wardens, appeal to sportsmen and do everything possible to save the broodstock for years to come." The Director urged that sportsmen's sports-men's organizations start "save the hen" campaigns within their own regions. |
