The Tooele appeal, led i mnmhers of the Tootle County Wildlife Federation, won its campaign to save the bucki in .111 effort to preserve some of th" brood stock. The buck hunt was closed this year on portions of the Vernon and Grantsville , areas. There were also fioo deer cut out of the special hunts in Tootle County. 1 It took a petition of landowners, landown-ers, representing lfi, CKK) acres in Lost Creek area to bring the board up to a reconsideration of the deer take in this arm. The landowners protested the taking of any hornless deer on their lands, holding that the buck hunt alone would take more than enough d'er from their region. The board cut the 600 doe kill to 250, these animals to be hunted only on lands which were not Included In the petition. peti-tion. Most of the landowners it' question were from the uppei region, which means that Lost Creek doe hunting will be held only around the mouth of the canyon this fall. On Currant Creek, the board still didn't come to terms with the landowners, who, it was learned, planned to have a double hunt this year. The Currant Creek take was cut from 500 of either sex post-season to 400 does during the regulai season. |
