WILD TURKEY PROPOSALS
More hunters could be hunting wild turkeys in Utah next spring.
The Division of Wildlife Resources will present two turkey hunting proposals at a series of upcoming public meetings. The first proposal would increase the number of turkey permits in Utah by 30 percent for the spring 2008 hunts.
The second proposal would more than double the number of permits. It would also create a third hunting season and would allow hunters in two regions and a part of a third to hunt across those regions during the third season.
Interest in turkey hunting is growing in Utah and plans give hunters more opportunities.
The DWR is also recommending a change for Utah's upcoming waterfowl hunting season. Most changes would involve motorized boats.
FEE CHANGES POSSIBLE
The Board of Utah State Parks and Recreation will meet Friday to consider proposed fee changes for day-use, camping, golf and other state park facilities.
Proposed fee changes include day-use increases from $1 to $3; camping fee increases from $1 to $5; reduced fees for pedestrians and cyclists at selected locations; and a $5 increase for the Utah State Parks Annual Pass.
After board members review, change, and/or approve the proposed fee schedule, Utah State Parks will solicit public comment.
BRYCE CANYON RIM RUN
The 23rd annual Bryce Canyon Rim Run and Walk will be held on Aug. 25.
Starting time will be 9 a.m. at Ruby's Inn, located just outside Bryce Canyon National Park. The race is the first event to be held in Bryce Canyon City, Utah's newest town.
The 5-mile trail run and walk is one of Utah's most scenic races. It winds through meadows, forests and along the rim of Bryce Canyon.
"Every year we have participants that stop at the canyon's rim and pull out cameras," said Jean Seiler, director of marketing at Ruby's Inn.
The race has age categories for walkers as well as runners.
