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

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 Conservation En-
forcement Ranger Pro-
gram also recommends
that you have your wood-
cutting permits and hunt-
ing tags on your persons
while out in field.
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.
Natural Resources to ob-
tain one. Wood permits
can be obtained at the For-
estry building.
Have a good hunting,
woodcutting, and fishing
season and be safe.
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.
