Page 3 October 8, 2009 Spilygy Tymoo, Wgrm Springs, Oregon Natural Resources seeks hunters’ help in monitoring for deer, elk disease Dave McMechan/Spilyay A Fire M anagem ent crew, including Hot Shots, used fire to clear the plot o f ground behind the adm inistration building. The land will be used fo r agriculture next year, said Flint Scott .whose m other Brenda is the owner. Flint prepared the lot fo r burning by plowing the perim eter to keep the flam es from spreading. The tribal Natural Resources Branch is asking hunters this year to help in the monitoring of a disease that is fatal to deer and elk. Chronic wasting disease at tacks the brain of infected deer and elk, causing the animals to become emaciated, display ab normal behavior and coordina tion, and eventually die. There has been no case of chronic wasting disease in hu mans. The disease has been devas tating to deer, elk and moose populations in Colorado and Wisconsin. There has not yet been a case of chronic wasting disease re ported in Oregon, said Jaime Hurd, Natural Resources wild life biologist. The concern, though, is that an incidence of the disease on the reservation could spread rapidly with devastating conse quences for deer and elk, said Hurd. To prevent this from happen ing, Natural Resources is recom mending testing of harvested animals. Early detection would help prevent a widespread outbreak, said Hurd. Natural Resources will be taking samples from deer and elk that are harvested on the res ervation. This is a simple and non-invasive procedure. Natural Resources staff will remove two lymph nodes from the neck o f the animals and send them in for testing. Hunters can take their ani mals to the Natural Resources building to have the samples taken. “We hope the hunters will participate in this process and support healthy wildlife,” Hurd said. Hunters who participate will receive a free reservation hunt ing map, value of $7. D eer season this year is through Oct. 25. Elk general season is Nov. 1-30. Hunters are also asked to re turn their tags once used, and complete a hunters’ survey. For more information, call 553-2044.
