TEACH KIDS HOW TO FISH
Volunteer training starts in February
Want to help a group of kids have one of the best experiences they'll have all summer?

Volunteers are needed in communities stretching from Logan to Washington City. The following communities have youth fishing clubs, and each club needs volunteers to help:
Logan (two clubs)
Brigham City (one club)
Ogden (one club)
Roy (one club)
Clinton (two clubs)
Syracuse (one club)
Clearfield (one club)
Kaysville (one club)
Bountiful (two clubs)
Murray (two clubs)
Riverton (one club)
South Jordan (one club)
Herriman (one club)
Highland Glen (one club)
Orem (one club)
Spanish Fork (two clubs)
Salem (one club)
Saratoga Springs (one club)
Payson (one club)
Washington City (one club)
Anyone can help
Adult volunteers make the clubs possible, and the clubs will be formed only if enough adults sign up to help.
Volunteer training takes only a single evening to complete. Depending on the community, the one-evening trainings will take place between the first of February and mid-March...

LEARN 2007 BIG GAME DRAWING ODDS
The odds of drawing a Utah big game permit in 2007 are now available in a Division of Wildlife Resources report.
"Drawing odds usually don't change drastically from year to year, so I think hunters who are applying for a 2008 permit will be interested in seeing the report," says Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR. "And the best part is, you can view it for free."
If you have access to the Internet, you can view and download the 2007 Big Game Odds Report for free.
To find the report, visit the big game information page at wildlife.utah.gov/hunting. Once you're there, scroll down to the big game statistics & drawing odds portion of the page. Click on the 2007 options, and the report should pop up.
The report is also available at DWR offices. You can read the report for free or buy a copy for $21.
