Page 6 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Big horn sheep hunt We would like to congratu- late our son Chad Thurby, age 14 years, on his success- ful first big horn sheep kill. Chad entered his name in the lottery for the big horn sheep, and was contacted that he was drawn for the Alderich Unit. He went to the Alderich unit along with his brother Bobby, dad Bobby and uncle Mike, who he would like to thank for taking him out for his hunt. On the first day, he came upon a small herd and shot the biggest one in the bunch. It was very exciting to have him be able to fill his big horn sheep tag. Love Mom and Dad. Great time at Sacred Thunder hoops camp Courtesy Dena Thurby Chad Thurby with big horn sheep.

Time of year to be extra safe in the outdoors From the Warm Springs Conservation Enforcement Ranger Program Branch of Natural Resources Fall time is here and win- ter is close, and the weather conditions can be nice one minute and bad the next. This time of year we have many hunters and woodcut- ters out in our wooded areas, and not to forget some fish- er men down along Deschutes—people gathering food and wood to keep their homes warm through the win- ter. Each year the tribal Pub- lic Safety Branch receives calls from people worried because a loved one or friend has not returned home from the woods. Their vehicle may have failed to start or is stuck. Or a hunter may be lost due to getting turned around in ex- treme weather elements, such as snow or foggy conditions. When this happens, try to stay calm, and contact the Warm Springs Police Depart- ment dispatch as soon as pos- sible.

The permits and tags are no good when they are left at home. If you need a hunting tag, go the Branch of Dispatch will take the per- tinent information, and offic- ers will be assigned to help find your loved one. Don’t be surprised if an officer or a Search & Rescue staff member arrives at your home to gather more infor- mation for the teams who are searching. The more information we can gather, the better chance we have of finding the friend or loved one in a shorter time. The Conser vation En- forcement Ranger Program will play an vital role when this type of situation arises. We work cooperatively with Warm Springs Police Depart- ment and Fire & Safety.

Thank you for your time, the Conservation Enforcement Ranger Pro- gram. If you have a loved one or friend going out for the day, ask them some questions, such as when you can expect them back. And if you don’t hear from them by a certain time, you may want to call for help. Here are some questions you should ask: · Where are you going hunting, woodcutting or fish- ing? · What time will you be home? · Who all is going out, and what vehicle will you be us- ing (vehicle year, make, model and color is useful informa- tion). · Are they dressed appro- priately for the weather ele- ments? (Sweaters, jackets, footwear, gloves, etc. An ex- tra change of clothing if somebody gets too cold or gets wet.) · Does the individual or group have any medical con- ditions, or are they on any types of medication? And do they have it with them? · Ensure they have fluids to drink and a lunch or some type of snacks for the day. (Having extra food and wa- ter is beneficial should some- thing happen) · Take a shovel, axe, jack and spare tire. (Recommend a chainsaw if you have one.) · Take a flashlight/ headlamp, with spare batter- ies, water proof matches, cigarette lighter, flares, or some type of fire starting device. · Cellphones are good have, but they are limited as to the usage in remote areas. · Bring rope, a tarp, tow chain, a knife, small First Aid kit, and even toilet paper. These are just a few things you should have while outside. Putting a small day pack or large pack together is a good idea, and take it with you all the time. If for some reason you know you have to stay the night out there, at least you will have some essential sup- plies. Hunters, we recommend you have a small daypack. And if get turned around or lost, find the nearest road and get a fire going. Always carry water proof matches or a cigarette lighter in your pocket, at the mini- mum. A warm fire is always a relief, and makes a person secure. A fire will keep you war m and dr y out your clothes if wet. We all have loved ones or friends, so please be safe and carry some of the essential supplies that could potentially keep you safe, as we cannot predict what and if some- thing will happen. Each year we have Search & Rescues here on the reser- vation. So if your loved one or friend does not arrive at home at a reasonable time, please contact the War m Springs Police Department as soon as possible. The weather conditions can get extreme, and when this type of situation occurs we are running against the clock, especially if people are not prepared.
