The pos sibility for this inclusion was brought to light last week when the game commission's wildlife research unif at Oregon State Col lege revealed partial answers on the habits or the wily blacktail deer, important big game animal of the Pacilic coast. While probing into the mysteries of blacktail deer activities, re search workers seeking more re liable methods of census, tested the reactions of deer to various climatic conditions with surprising results. The partial answers (uund should be of interest to gunners who year after year are outwitt-d by this cunning frustrating crea ture of the rain forests. " ' Does a full full moon affect th? hunter's success? How about rain storms? Maybe it was tempera ture, humidity, or wind that it fluenced the hunter's success or failure. ' During the studies, deer were found to be much more active during the "Bright" phase of the moon. This would certainly 'in dicate that they spent considerably more time snoozing during the daytime. Hunters' chances during this time are considerably de creased, especially if still hunt ing alone or in a small group, High daytime tempTatures wsre found to be definitely not agree able to these temperamental crea tures. Temperatures over 70 degrees sent them into the coolest g'ens during the daylight hours, which resulted in increased night time activities regardless of other factors. In addition, any sudden temperature drop sent the animals into the thickest cover they could find where they bedded down and remained until temperatures level ed off. :..!' Wildcats .

Storms, o! course, sent the animals into hiding. ' The type of surroundings was found to have considerable in-flu-nce on deer movement. Animals living c'ose to agricultural lands where considerable human activity occurred carried out nearly ail of their activities under the protec tive color of darkness. They were found to be active all night except 1 during the hours immediately following sunset and preceding sunrise. Conversely, deer in Wilderness and less disturbed areas were more active in the hours following sunset and just preceding sunrise. Humidity, wind, seasons, and forage conditions a'l played a part in deer movement. All were interwoven with temperatures, rain, storms, bright and dark moon phases, and o'.her factors to form a complexity of influence af.ecting animal movement.
