Changes noted for 2002 hunting season
By Bill Rhoades
Spilyay Tymoo
A reduction in the bag limit
on buck deer and increased
opportunities to harvest
antlerless elk are the major
changes awaiting hunters on
the Warm Springs Reservation
this season.
Tribal Council recently
adopted hunting seasons and
regulations for 2002 as pro
posed by the Fish and Wild
life staff and committee. For
the most part hunters will be
looking at seasons and bag lim
its similar to last year, with the
two notable exceptions being
those mentioned earlier.
The bag limit on deer will
be one antlered buck per fam
ily in September and one ant
lered buck per family in Octo
ber, down from three bucks
per season in 2001.
Hunters must return their
September tags to receive a tag
for October.
One designated hunting tag
will be allowed in addition to
a personal tag. Designated tags
will be issued only for elders
and handicapped tribal mem
bers. Biologists said the local deer
population has been increasing
gradually over the past 10
years, but buck to doe ratios
have fallen below management
objectives, which prompted
managers to recommend a re
duced bag.
A growing elk herd, cur
rently numbering approxi
mately 800 animals, has en
couraged managers to recom
mend additional hunting op
portunities for that species.
The 2002 season will feature
an antlerless elk season begin
ning Nov. 9 and ending Nov.
30 (a week longer than last
year) with a limit of one
antlerless elk per family. A to-

tal of 200 tags will be issued
for the 2002 season, up from
100 a year ago.
A hunter must exchange
their unused bull elk tag to re
ceive an anterless elk tag.
Antlerless elk tags will be is
sued on a first come, first serve
basis.
The bull elk season will run
Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 with a bag
of 1 antlered elk per family.
Regulations for hunting
bear are unchanged from last
season.
Bear may be hunted in
Sept., Oct. and Nov. The bag
limit is one bear per month per
family, except that cubs and
sows with cubs are protected.
Seasons and bag limits for
upland birds also remained
unchanged. The season is open
from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31 with
daily bag limits of 3 grouse, 10
quail and 10 chukar. One tur
key may be harvested per
month. The season on ring
necked pheasant is closed.
Regulations for migratory
birds, including ducks, geese
and mourning doves are estab
lished under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act.
Seasons and bag limits on
the reservation will be the
same as those set by state and
federal agencies for the state of
Oregon.
Hunting of all birds is re
stricted to the use of shotguns,
archery and pistol's (firing bird
shoot only).
