2 September 7, 2000 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyaytymoo 2000 Reservation hunting season begins Ocean Waves of Basketry DEER SEASON:September (entire month) October (entire month) Dag Limit:Two (2) Antlcred deer per family in September (only on tag issued at a time; must return first tag filled out in order to receive second). One (1) antlcred deer per fam ily in October (must return Erevious month tags to receive Octo cr tag). Designated Hunting: Only one designated hunting tag will be al lowed in possession in addition to subsistence tag at any time. Desig nated hunting tags will be issued only for elders and handicapped. Justification: Deer popula tions have increased gradually over the last ten years on the Reservation. The past few years have featured ex cellent forage available for deer and relatively mild winters allowing for good recruitment. This was the first year since 1 996 that we met our man agement goal of 20-25 bucks 100 docs post hunting season. In order to maintain the buck numbers we rec ommend three bucks per family be allowed in 2000. Changes from 1999 Recom mendations: No special youth hunt for the last ten days of August and no August deer hunting based on the On Reservation Fish & Wildlife Commit tees recommendations. The harvest of two bucks in the month of Septem ber in lieu of August. Other Recommendations: No closure of the 22,000 acre South Mutton Mountain fire area. Although this area is more open and accessible since the 1996 fire and subsequent salvage of timber, there is sufficient forage in the form of browse to main tain a resident deer population and accommodate some hunting harvest. Increased enforcement for this area will be necessary as many animals have taken to this area as a safe ref uge and will be easy targets, espe cially elk during the deer season while rutting. We do appreciate those mem bers who respected this closure allow ing the forage to come back and giv ing the game a chance to recolonize the area, but recognize the challenges ahead at maintaining game popula tion throughout the reservation. ELK SEASON BULL SEASON: Novem ber 1 through November 30 BAG LIMIT: One (1) Antlcred elk per family ANTLERLESS ELK SEA SON: November 18 through 30 BAG LIMIT: One (1) Antlerless elk per family, 100 TAGS AVAILABLE. A hunter must exchange (hisher) unused bull tag to receive an Antlcrlcss elk tag. The Antlcrlcss elk tags will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, only to hunters that have not filled their bull elk tag and only Antlcrlcss elk may be harvested on these tags. Designated Hunting: Only one designated hunting tag will be al lowed in possession in addition to subsistence tag at any time. Desig nated hunting tags will be issued only for elders and handicapped. JUSTIFICATION: Elk popu lations are growing in most areas of the Reservation. The elk herd has reached the lower population goal number set in the Integrated Resource Management Plan. Reservation elk herds are estimated at approximately 800 head. Even though the herds have expanded gradually over the past two decades, bull and calf ratios are at the lowest recorded levels and below management objectives. In order to reduce over harvest on bulls while meeting public subsistence needs a limited antlerless elk harvest would provide tribal members with addi tional opportunity to harvest elk while maintaining or increasing the elk population. CHANGES FROM 1999 REC OMMENDATIONS: The Mutton Mountain (Simnasho burn) will be open to hunting this year. Designated hunting for handicapped and elders is allowed this year. BEAR SEASON SEASON: The entire month of September. The entire month of October. The entire month of Novem ber. BAG LIMIT: One (1) bear per month per family except cubs and sows with cubs area pro tected. JUSTIFICATION: The reser vation has a healthy population of black bear and there is very little hunt ing pressure by tribal members. One hundred forty three (143) tags were issued in 1999, only four bear were reported taken.

This checklist can help you keep your home safer, so keep it handy: In the bedroom: Install smoke alarms outside bedrooms and on every level of the home. For added protection, consider installing smoke alarms in each bed room. Test them at least once a month and change batteries at least once a year. Practice fire escape routes and identify an outside meeting place. Place a baby to sleep on his or her back in a crib with no pillows or soft bedding underneath. Use a crib that meets national safety standards and has a snug-fitting mattress. Never use an electric blanket in the bed or crib of a small child or in fant. Keep small toys, balloons, and small balls away from young chil dren. Check age labels for appropri ate toys. Make sure toy storage chests have safety lid supports. To prevent strangulation, use safety tassels forminiblinds and avoid strings on children's toys and pacifi ers. Install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms outside bedrooms to prevent CO poisoning. REQUEST FOR CONTRAC TORS Housing is compiling a list of local contractors for remodel work and other maintenance work, if you are interested please come to the housing office and leave your name, address, name of company, and all insurance papers. (Contractors insur ance, automobile insurance) We are in need of this list of contractors as soon as possible, as we are needing to start up our projects for the GAP Grant. Road rehabilitation project begins mid September The 2000 Road Rehabilitation Project will get underway around mid-September in the Seekseequa watershed. The project will eliminate 9.3 miles of roads that are not needed for management purposes. The goal of this project is to reduce road densities and the amount of ground that has been compacted within the watershed. Excavating unnecessary roads and reseeding the 12.4 acres of affected ground with grass and trees will provide many benefits to the area. When the affected acres are put back into production, erosion levels and sedimentation will be reduced, which will improve water quality in the Seekseequa watershed. The reha bilitated acreage will also provide habitat for wildlife and a potential source of future income for the Con federated Tribes. The project is scheduled to be gin September 13 and continue through October 30, or as long as weather permits. Contractors may be delayed by restrictions that are in ef fected to help prevent range and for est fires. If you have any questions or comments regarding the 2000 Road Rehabilitation Project contact Doug Dunlap in the Forestry Department at 553-2416.
