Keep Oreg o n Green Association (KOG) has been partnering with state and fed- eral wildland fire agencies for the last 75 years to increase awareness of Oregon’s wild- fire risk and to educate the public in the prevention of human-caused wildfires. “Besides the fact that we have had more than 50 ille- gal or unattended campfires lead to wildfires this sum- mer; patrolling fire crews have extinguished nearly 100 campfires that were not com- pletely put out before people left,” said KOG Executive Director Kristin Babbs. “It only takes one of these careless acts to lead to the destruction of our forests. Our plea to the hunters and public in general is to be vigilant and have fire prevention front and center in their minds when enjoying what our state has to offer.” As hunters prepare for the 2016 season, the Oregon Department of Forestry, ODFW and its partners ask that hunters take extra cau- tion to keep fires from occur- ring. Know about restrictions before you go afield and fol- low them. Below are some of the most common restrictions: • Campfires are either prohibited or only allowed in approved campgrounds in many areas. • Smoking and off-road driving is also prohibited in most areas, which includes motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. • Vehicles must have either a gallon of water or a fully charged and operational 2.5- pound fire extinguisher and shovel (except when travel- ling on state highways or county roads). • ATVs must have a charged and operational 2.5- pound fire extinguisher. For a list of corporate clo- sures on private timberland, visit ODF’s website at http:// www.oregon.gov/ODF/Fire/ Pages/Restrictions.aspx and see the Corporate Closures list. The chart also contains phone numbers to get the lat- est information from timber- land owners. Some Travel Management Areas may be affected by these closures. Contact the landowner for the latest access information. Federal land: Check the U.S. Forest Service or BLM website or call them for clo- sures and restrictions. Hunters should always check the What’s New section at the front of the annual Big Game Regulations to learn about changes from the previ- ous year. Lighted arrow nocks are now allowed for bowhunters. Lighted nocks increase vis- ibility of an arrow and make it easier to follow an arrow’s flight and retrieve it. — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — This Week’s Crossword Sponsors WE CAN FIX IT ALL Pump & Electrical Contractor IRRIGATION/WELL PUMP SERVICE FREQUENCY DRIVES • MOTOR CONTROLS • PUMPS A Division of Sisters Owned CCB#178543 24-HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE CORK CELLARS HAVE YOUR NEXT CELEBRATION AT CORK!
