In the past, Nephi and Juab County was the place to get your deer, then bottle it and keep for dinner throughout the Winter. That is not the case of today, as most deer we see-would be in the Zoo. Although the State Game Rangers would contest it, that just may deny that, as they don't get their funds from the State Legislators, but they keep increasing the cost of deer tags and they even give blind people the right to shoot a deer, as long as they have a Deer Tag and a co-partner to pull the trigger. In addition, they push for heavy penalties if you shoot a deer if they cross the road to get a deer in a premium hunt where the hunters and the State DWR gives thousands and thousand's to the land owner, and many years ago, one farmer showed me photo's of deer eating his corn and he would get a large check from the DWR. He said he makes more money that way instead of feeding corn to his cattle. Dishonest he was. Perhaps that is why many of the Fish Cops never did like me, as I was once was in the Capacity of a Administrative Law Judge and after traveling to the west desert where an adult hunter and his son inadvertently shot a monster deer and the Judge gave him a fine of thousands for restitution and sent him to prison. When I handled the case, I dropped the restitution and released the man from prison. It was then that I compared that on many of the dishonest Politician's I had to deal with in my 46 years. I also place blame on the people and business owners who speed fast in Nephi Canyon and the deer are killed by speeding cars. And at least one Developer is making plans to have more homes in the canyon, and that will cause more death and destruction when the deer come down for a drink in Nebo Creek. I have asked if the State; Juab and Sanpete County Sheriff" to put a muzzle on the speed and noise, but it was like talking to a deer dead on the road, that couldn't understand the words of "Dam" and Hell. Jimmy Ockey Jr. has a rough time getting in and out of his home as to many people are using home in Sanpete- where the Governor has been promoting more homes to get drivers closer to their Utah County jobs. The south end of Nephi and the golf course used to be the winter feeding grounds for deer, but my co-horts at Nephi City were not going to upset the apple Cart. With all that said, the Jones Boys still go on the deer hunt, but don't buy licenses or even take guns. Years ago, it was the deer hunters that put pressure on Utah Legislators' to change the law in order to protect the Does. That saved the deer for awhile until Game Wardens changed the law to lower the shooting age of kids. Although that helped, we took a photo of a Dad with his kids gun and shot the deer. No, we didn't report him but we told the Fish and Game and he signed a note we could have it, as we did, and out Mother was happy to have more food to wrap and give to locals that loved it. Wish their were more of the Erma Garretts; Clead Blackett and Irv Jarett around who loved Venison! Below should be some photos of those we legally shot deer in the past, and we forced the Fish and Game to not shoot Does and it was local hunters that pushed it through to the State Legislators. The photo clearly shows Weston Jones is in Dire Straits. He has been hunting deer with brothers; sister and sons and grandkids for 80 yeas or so, and never ever cleaned a deer, so the brothers forced him in to it. A Fish Cop was coming up he road, and none of us would even tag the buck. After unloading a wheel barrow of Bullshit, Weston finally tagged and cleared it up. We later had to laugh when he went to his work buddies and bragged it was the biggest 8 pointer he ever shot. All together, we all shouted "Bullshit" as the Fish and Game guy came up and he thought we were joking when we asked him if he would gut it for the "Old Man". Another photo shows Weston's kids on top of the fruit cellar, and three Jones Boys shot the three bucks, all with handguns and each one was "Kinda by Pole". One photo is of Alma Jones and his four sons, who are now at the age of Dad, who died at 84, and each of his kids are no longer hunting as we the people have killed the deer off with shooting them or too many speeders who kill them on the many asphalt roads we have. Come and gaze at the wild beasts we have on God's green earth and go back to protecting their winter feeding grounds. We now know what our Ancient Ones were forced out of our area by we he Palefaces.
