FYI
"Getting a hunting application just after the start of the year isn't something Utah's big game hunters will be doing in 2006.
"The Utah Wildlife Board has moved the state's big game application period back two weeks. The application period begins Jan. 17, 2006 and ends Feb. 16.
"Board members voted to move the application period back at their Nov. 22 meeting in Salt Lake City. All of the big game hunting rules approved by the board for 2006 will be available in the 2006 Utah Big Game Proclamation. The proclamation should be available during the first week in January....
"The following are two major items the board did NOT approve:
"- A recommendation to lengthen the general rifle buck deer hunt in the Southern and Southeastern regions from five to nine days. Board members voted against this DWR proposal after citizen representatives from the Southern and Southeastern regional advisory councils voted against it.
"- A recommendation to eliminate Utah's statewide general archery buck deer hunt and have archery hunters hunt in specific regions. Citizen representatives from the Southern and Southeastern RACs brought this proposal to the board. The Northern, Central and Northeastern RACs voted against the proposal, and the board also voted against it."
