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.
