REPORT OF THE UTAH DIVISION. 



Some good work was accomplished last 

 year in the way of legislation limiting the 

 kill on all kinds of game and prohibiting the 

 sale of same at any time, excepting water 

 fowl. We now have a continuous close sea- 

 son on elk, antelope and bighorn. Limit kill 

 on deer, with horns, 2 in open season no 

 sale. Grouse of any kind, bag limit, 12 

 birds in one day no sale at any time. Im- 

 ported game birds of any kind, and quail, 

 continuous close season until otherwise pro- 

 vided by Legislature. I regret to report 

 that a provision was enacted, against my 

 strongest protests, for a month's spring 

 shooting of ducks, February 15th to March 

 15th. This is unfortunate, although, being 

 so early, it is not so bad as it would be a 

 month later. . Still it grieved me greatly 

 after having worked so hard to have spring 

 shooting abolished, and thinking it was 

 abolished for good ; but such is life in the 

 far West. I hope to be able to knock this 

 barbarous practice out again, and to pro- 

 hibit the commercial traffic in ducks as in 

 the other game of this State but it will be 

 a hard fight. 



At present I am engaged in distributing 

 quail from this, Salt Lake, county to a 

 number of other counties in the State. The 

 birds, California valley email, are numerous 

 here in a few of the central counties and I 

 am anxious to get them distributed all over 

 the State. 



The law on fish has been put in fairly 

 good shape. How long it will be per- 

 mitted to remain so is a question. The 

 commercial traffic in all kinds of trout, ta- 

 ken from the public waters of the State, is 

 prohibited and provision made for the sale 

 of trout from actual private ponds at any 

 time. The limit on the catch of trout in any 

 one day, for private domestic use, was 

 placed at 20 pounds, which is too much for 

 any one but a hog. Our State hatchery has 

 done good work, approximately 2,000,000 

 trout fry having been propagated and dis- 

 tributed throughout the State during the 

 year. The varieties are Eastern brook, na- 

 tive mountain, steelhead trout and grayling. 

 I hope to do better the present year. The
