Show ELK PERMITS DATED, RULING MADE Sportsmen were reminded this week applications for 1955 elk permits per-mits will be- received at department depart-ment of fish and game offices beginning be-ginning August 15 through August 22. Application is by mail only in the special envelope now available from license agents over the state. Envelopes postmarked later than midnight, August 22, will be returned re-turned to the sender. The department said application method for the 1450 elk permits over 13 hunting units, as set up by the Utah board of big game control this year, varied in only one major respect from the past two years. For the first time two people may make a dual application for elk permits. The board made this ruling following a recommendation for same from the state's organized sportsmen. The regular elk application envelope en-velope provides for either single or dual application. Where two people wish to hunt together they may include choice of hunting unit, names and addresses, big game license numbers, and double the single fee in one elk application applica-tion envelope. That envelope will be given a single number on the drawing for the district applied for. Should that number be drawn, each of the dual applicants would receive a permit to hunt. Elk permits may be issued only to bonfide residents of Utah who have purchased a 1955 big game or combination hunting and fishing fish-ing license. The fee of $15 must be in form of a certified check, cashier's cash-ier's check or money order. Personal Per-sonal checks or currency are not acceptable. The annual public drawing will be held at 11 a.m., September 2, at the state capitol. The general elk season is set for October 1 through 6 with earlier and later hunts scheduled for some districts. |
