P-Ths Statesman. Sclem. Oregon, friday. October 21. 1841 Fair Seen; Opens Shooting Today Br Cenrsd Fmnre Staff Writer. Tb SUUamaa Fair shooting awaits Willamette Talley pheasant hunters when the season opens this noon, but the first half of the season on ducks and geese will be poor here, the state game commission said this week. The season In this area on ' pheasants and waterfowl opens today. The cease fire order for pheasants is October 26 and the bag limit is two cocks per day and not more than six during the en tire season or in possession. Seasons Vary Other areas in the state liave different seasons and bag iimits. The aeason oh ducks, geese, brant and coots is from October .21 to -November 9 inclusive and again from noon on December 19 to Jan uary 7, Inclusive. The bag limit la five ducks per day (including not more than one wood duck) and six geese (provided at least four are snow geese). " When the game commission says pheasant shooting is "fair" in the Willamette valley it is compar ing the shooting here with the rest ofrhe state. Compared' with past years the shooting here this year will be good. , . . Birds Declining The first Chinese pheasant was successfully introduced 16 the United States in 1881 in Oregon. They were protected for 10 years and about a half million were killed in the first open season. vJSince then maintaining a phea sant population has been nip and tuck with the number of birds Slowly declining. Most of the de crease in pheasants, says the com mission, is due to the breaking up of larger farms, expansion of cultivated areas and "clean farm ing" practices which destroys much of the natural cover. . The commission operates a number of bird farms ene each at Corvallis and Eugene. About 0,000 to 90,000 birds are liberat ed each year from these farms. Aids in Maintenance "ThiS," said commission mem ber, is only a slight aid to maintaining the pheasant popula tion." A recent innovation is the field rearing projects. In this program the state buys a strip of standing grain from a farmer. The grain is left standing and pheasant hens and day-old chicks are placed there in coops and left to scatter Into the wilderness at their own choosing. This system, now In its third year, has proven quite success ful, the commission said. Five such projects were launched recently in this area. The key to the pheasant popu lation is the pheasant hen, a brown colored fowl slightly smaller than the beautifully plumed male bird. .When a hen is killed 10 potential pheasants, which the hen would normally produce, are also crossed Off. . Hens Protected Pheasants are polygamous. One cock and 10 hens will produce 100 birds, but' 10 cocks and only one hen will produce only 10 birds. Cocks can be harvested yearly under controls and the overall pheasant population is not reduced, the commission said. The commission has launched a stiff campaign against the killing of hen pheasants. Last year sports men responded and the results were favorable. In one county two years ago, however, 75 pet cent of the pheasants were killed . In one season and half were hens. In the Willamette valley last year, when the season was opened I after being closed for several yearshunting was light and the kill 'moderate., 811f ht Increase Noted A check has shown that the pheasant I population in Marion, Polk and other Willamette valley counties has slightly increased since 1945. The highest concentra tion of pheasants in this area is in Benton county, said the commis sion. The season in this area on val ley quail is closed this year. This frail bird, better adapted to south ern climates, has just gone through a series of rugged winters which set the population back in some areas, the commission said. Duck hunting in western Ore gon will not be good for. the next several weeks, the commission said. The Willamette flyway is usually not full of the migrating waterfowl until later. Preserve Established One of the main reasons for the split waterfowl season, said the commission, is to give eastern and western sections of Oregon equal opportunity at -duck shooting. The, first half is good in eastern Ore-' gon. But later in December, that por tion of the state freezes over, the Everything YOU WANT IN A SHORTENING AT SAFEWAY ST0IIS ducks and gees leave and then western Oregon gets a chance in the second half of the season. . The duck and goose populations1 in the Willamette valley are ex pected to be helped by the recent-' ly-established 8,000 - acre game preserve at $auvie; island near; Portland. Limited shooting will be permitted there this year.
