Fires of any kind, including campfires, are not allowed at any of the state's WMAs. The WMAs include more than 500,000 acres of some of Utah's best wildlife habitat.

For more information, call the nearest DWR office or the Salt Lake City office at 801-538-4700.

UPLAND GAME BOOK

Utah's upland game-hunting guide for the 2007-08 season is now available.

In addition to sporting goods stores and the DWR's Web site — www.wildlife.utah.gov/proclamations — the guide can also be found at the nearest DWR office.

Utah has 15 different species of upland game, ranging from white-tailed ptarmigan high in the Uinta Mountains to chukar partridge and turkeys.

The Utah Legislature has removed the minimum age at which a person can hunt small game in Utah.

Hunters must still pass the state's hunter education course before they can hunt.

Once they pass the course, students will receive a free hunting license.
