Show Pheasant Hunt Starts Saturday, Birds. Are Plentiful Utah pheasant hunters should find a good supply of birds in the fields as this hunt gets underway un-derway Sat. Nov. 7 at 8 ajn., according to the department of fish and game. The department noted that late season brood counts throughout the state indicated there would be about the same number of birds for this hunt as was the case during the 1958 season when the pheasant cycle was at a peak. Once again, all hunters were reminded to respect the rights of the private landholder where nearly 100 per cent of all pheasant pheas-ant hunting takes place. The law, as written each fish and game license, decrees that it is illegal to trespass upon private property prop-erty at any time without the express ex-press pel-mission of the landhold- er or person in charge of such lands. Spokesmen noted that much has been gained during the past three years to better these problems prob-lems through ' tha work of the State Triangle Committee. This committee is now functioning func-tioning on the state, county and local level in an effort to better the problems of private land use for hunting and at the same time project an equitable harvest of the fish and game resources produced pro-duced on these lands. On each level of operation the committees are composed of representees rep-resentees from the organized landholders, organized sportsmen and department personel. In meetings held throughout the year the problems common to such use of private lands are dis-cused dis-cused and solutions arrived upon to better them. One outgrowth of these meetings meet-ings has been printing and availability avail-ability of several triangle committee com-mittee signs calling attention to the law, the use of land as the individual landholder desires it to be and the obligation of the sportsman going afield upon such land. These signs are available through farmer and department offices over the state. Department director Harold S. Orane urged landowners to use these signs and reminded sportsmen sports-men of the trespass laws and the neeid to observe and respoct all signs if hunting upon private lands is to continue in the future. |
