Attention Tribal Hunters
The Natural Resources Com
mittee met with Oregon state officials
regarding hunting, fishing, and
gathering issues. The Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife has
cut back on the antlerless deer tags
again because of the hair loss disease
that the doe has contracted.
The Natural Resources Com
mittee has recommended that
antlerless deer tags be distributed on
a lottery basis, so watch for the
antlerless deer tag drawing appli
cation that will be circulated soon.
