I got some pictures, my sister does, she lives in Amarillo, of wagon loads of the squaw fish," he said. Don Hatch (Vernal, Utah) would bring fish he and his father seined from the Green River into Vernal and give them to the townspeople, some of whom he thought used the fish for fertilizer and chicken feed. "I remember we'd dump them all out on the lawn and sort through them," he said. "Some of the townspeople would come and get the fish. I'm not sure what they'd do with them, even use some of them for fertilizer, and I think they'd use them for chickens, grind it up for poultry." Kenneth Johnson (Delta, Colo.), who trapped Colorado squawfish from the Gunnison River talked about feeding fish to his family's chickens: "All I can remember is if there was a fish we wanted to eat, we used it, if there weren't, we hung it up on the fence and slashed it for chicken feed." Steve Radosevich, a Browns Park rancher and ex-Utah game warden, recalled feeding razorback suckers that he caught in the Green River to his cats. Green River fish were used for coyote bait, according to ex-Browns Park rancher Bill Allen (Vernal, Utah). Allen remembered a coyote trapper using a chicken wire fish trap to catch fish for bait during the 1930s and 1940s. Tom Hastings (Green River, Utah) also used to feed his cats river fish: "We caught them roundtails, bony tails and suckers. We didn't do anything with them. If we happened to catch them, we'd toss some of them to the cats," he said.
