(Before It's News)
Utah -(Ammoland.com)- If you enjoy hunting waterfowl or upland game in Utah, you can add something fun to your hunt while helping the birds and animals you pursue.
This fall, the Division of Wildlife Resources is offering nine Waterfowl Slams and seven Upland Game Slams.
If you complete a waterfowl slam, you’ll receive a colorful Waterfowl Slam leg band, perfect for hanging on a lanyard. Complete an upland game slam, and you’ll receive a colorful Upland Game Slam “coin.” Each coin, which is laser engraved with the slam details, looks like the brass end of a shotgun shell.
Every time you complete a slam, you’ll receive a different leg band or coin. In addition, if you sign up for the Waterfowl Slam, you’ll receive a leg band for taking your first duck, goose or swan of the 2015–2016 season. And your name will be entered in a drawing for prizes that include decoys, hunting apparel and cooking equipment.
The cost to participate in the Upland Game Slam program or the Waterfowl Slam program is $10 for those 17 years of age and younger, and $20 for adults. You can also participate in both programs by paying the registration fee for each.
You can learn more about the Waterfowl Slam at wildlife.utah.gov/slam. Upland Game Slam details are available at wildlife.utah.gov/uplandslam.
