DAVENPORT – If one doesn't mind freezing their tails off, there are several enjoyable spots for winter hunting and fishing in Lincoln County, even as temperatures begin to plummet and some animals go into hibernation. "By far" the most popular seasonal outdoor activity is fishing at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Fish and Wildlife Officer Curt Wood said. He said the water bodies there don't typically freeze over, so ice fishing isn't always an option, but added that...

DAVENPORT – It appears that this year’s ammo shortfall didn’t encourage the deer population to reveal themselves to hunters, as early hunting season has netted the smallest harvest in some time. “It’s probably one of the slowest, non-eventful deer seasons I’ve ever worked,” Officer Curt Wood of the Department of Fish and Wildlife said. Wood has worked in Lincoln County in his position for 25 years. He said opening weekend for deer hunting season was “one of the slowest weekends” he’s had on the job. “I think deer population...
