2 October 24, 1996 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Annual cerpmonial hunting Since 1986 the Fish and Wildlife Committee and the Longhouse leaders have chosen 20 to 25 hunters for the ceremonial hunt. This year's ceremonial hunt started October 12 and will end November 20. Another will start November 19 until November 27 concluding this year's hunt. Hunters usually bring in between 70 and 100 docs depending on how much meat is left in the freezer from the previous year. This year 75 to 1 00 tags were allocated for the ceremonial hunt. Deer from the ceremonial hunt is used for gatherings, funerals and memorials. The Tribal Council may approve use of deer meat for other activities. To become eligible forccrcmonial hunting a person must attend the hunter's meeting and sign up. The Longhouse leaders and committee members choose hunters from the list. Hunters must pass a drug test. A hunter must know how to hunt and take care of the deer meat. A person is ineligible for hunting if they have a felony on their police record. They may be cited for carrying a firearm. There are usually only two butchers, but they tend to fall behind because of the workload, so four butchers were hired this year. Hunters are paid $100 a day if they bring in deer. The vehicle owners also get mileage to and from the area they hunt. Butchers are being paid $ 1 0.00 an hour when there is meat to be butchered. The hides are available to tribal members. They need only to go to the warehouse and pick them up, while they are still fresh. If no one takes them they are stored in the freezer. The warehouse is located at the Industrial Park near the records center.

We have encountered at the least 14 incidents of this nature, we have also received information on some suspects taht are responsible for some elk kills and we are investigating those as they come in. Over the last few years, we have notice a big increase of illegal kills of elk during deer season, the illegal hunters have been quite consistent in wasting of the game that they kill. The Police Fish and Game Division will be working with the Fish and Wildlife Committee to come up with some idea's to fight this type of hunting. The game division has put on some operations that have strongly indicated to us that the hunters will shoot and kill an elk on sight, weather it be legal or not. two hunters have recently been cited for the attempted kill of big games out of season, this operation was a joint effort between the natural resources rangers and the police department fish and game division and with some assistance from the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife. We will continue to do this operations and others to detour the illegal hunting. We have been receiving comments and complaints from the legal hunters that indicate that illegal hunters are just making things bad for all the rest who hunt legally and with in traditions. These comments are true, we are doing all we can to stop these incidents from happening. We need the assistance of the legal hunters who feel the same way, the more information that we get on these crimes, the better our chances of prosecuting them for the crimes and hopefully the crimes will stop. If you have information on any illegal hunting and you want to report it, Please call and give all the information you can. You do nat have to identify yourself if you do not wish to, but we do need all the information we can get on the suspect. Sid Daniel Donna Happy Halloween to all of Diabetic? attend Flu season is fast approaching. Influenza (flu) is a highly infectious viral illness which can last from two to seven days. Symptoms include fever, headache, non productive cough, and sore, achy muscles. Flu germs are spread through the air by droplets from the respiratory tract of infected person(s) and also by direct contact Patients with diabetes should get a flu shot every Tall. Why? If people with diabetes catch teh flu, they are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill because their immune systems do not work as well as those of non-diabetic patients. When you Type of information we need is: date and time of kill or observation, who the hunters are, type of vehicle, address, and type of animal killed, also approximate location of the kill. You can call Sgt. Oswald Tias at 553-3272 or 553-3273, all information received will be held confidential for the investigation. Please help us put a stop to the illegal hunting and waste of game. Other incidents include calls of overdue hunters and woodcutters, with over 600,000 acres of land to look in, the chance of finding them in a short amount of time is not good when we do not have the general area where to look. It is important to have the area information, as the person or person's that we are looking for may be injured and not able to make it back. They may be stuck or have mechanical problems. They just simply may not be out there and in town or at a friend's house. The fish and game division is the first response you will get out to those areas and we will want to know a general area, the hunters or woodcutters should make a plan and stick to that plan as much as possible and the most important, tell someone where you will be at or possibly be at. We have been very fortunate to find that the overdue hunters and woodcutters have not been hurt or been out there for very long with out food or water. They have been in good health when they return. We have seven calls of this nature and expect more, the weather is not getting any better and we would like to see that all hunters and woodcutters follow our suggestions and take every precaution to assure a safe return home. We will repond as fast as possible and we know that family that is calling is very concerned about their loved ones out there and we will locate them as quickly as possible with the information that we receive.
