Help needed to increase wildlife populations Successful wildlife management programs have brought about a marked increase in reservation deer and elk herds. Hunters are now able to harvest a higher number of both deer and elk. Since the inception of seasonal hunting in 1984, records show an increase in harvest rates: In 1984 it took 14.7 days to harvest an animal while in 1983 the time was reduced to II days. In 1983, before seasonal hunting was instituted, 1330 deer tags were issued accounting for a 22 percent success rate. In 1984. after seasonal hunting was established, the success rate increased to 24 percent and in 1985 the success rate climbed to 29 per cent. More importantly in 1983 both male and female deer were harvested whereasafter 1984 only males could be taken. This managment strategy is vitally important to increasing population size since females are the key to deer and elk population growth. Increasing wildlife populations on the reservation is possible only with the cooperation of all tribal members. However, not all people feel that way. Poaching is a problem that affects the resources for the entire reserva tion. Harvesting a deer or elk out of season can result in greater Possible archaeological site Warm Springs Tribal Council recently approved a request by Warm Springs Crushing and Con struction Company, owned by Ted and Mickey Brunoe, to remove 1 0,000 cubic yards of basalt material from an undeveloped borrow source bordering the Deschutes River.

A pregnant elk found slaughtered on a recent helicopter survey could, in a 20 year life span of the cow and female calf found in her, produce up to 26 calves. Many of those offspring will also be female, in turn producing more young. The resources for the entire reservation are substantially reduced as a result of the poaching of a single elk. Whole deer carcasses hae. also been found at the sanitary landfill near Warm Springs. These deer may have been destined for market or were killed for the sport of it. Whatever the reason, it was illegal. The meat is wasted and the resource is diminished. By law, as cited in the Warm Springs hunting and trapping code. "No person shall at any time, leave through carelessness, neglect or otherwise. game bird orgameanimal or an edible portion thereof to needlessly go to waste." Tribal Council reserves the right to regulate and control all hunting on the reservation for the sake of the people. The preservation of resources is at the heart of the code, "These hunting rights and the wildlife resources on which they depend, constitute an invaluable and irre placeable asset to the members of the Confederated Tribes. They form an important cultural, historical road. The site is located 100 meters north of the Deschutes River. The original request for the rock pit site asked for a permanent rock pit but Tribal Council approved only this one-time use.
