Drawing to be held at 5:30 p.m. on April 8, 2004 at the Fish & Wildlife Committee meeting at the Natural Resources office. Prizes sponsored by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Fish & Wild life Committee. Why: The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Natural Resources Division, in cooperation with Oregon Department of Fish & Wild life and USDA Veterinary Services, is collecting biological samples from deer and elk to learn more about diseases that may be affect ing our deer and elk herds. Deer Hair Loss Syndrome is already present in the Grand Ronde area. Samples may help determine the cause and method of spread of deer hair loss syndrome. Chronic Wasting Disease has not been detected in Oregon. We want to catch this disease early if it shows up in Oregon as it can have devastating affects on deer and elk populations. Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease is not known in the Grand Ronde area but has been detected in southwest and central Oregon. Samples will help determine where adenovirus is found in Oregon. How to Participate: D Allow the Tribes' biologists to collect samples of brain stems from elk and samples of lice, blood and brainstems from deer. D All samples must be collected within 48 hours of death, 24 hours preferred. D Bring hunter harvested animals to the Tribes' Natural Resources office at 47010 S.W. Hebo Road, Monday through Friday from 8 to 4:30 p.m. D If you are unable to bring an animal in we may be able to come to you to collect samples. Please contact the Tribe's biologists for more information. B If the entire animal can't be brought in, then provide the hide for lice samples, the heart for a blood sample and the head for a brain sample. All parts can be returned after samples are taken. B Hunters will need to provide the general location of where the animal was killed (to be used in the event that a disease is found). B Your name will be entered in the drawing for each useable sample we are able to collect, up to one for each elk, and up to three entries for each deer. B Fresh road kills can be reported to the Tribes' biologists so we can pick it up for sampling. Your name would then be entered for any useable samples we collect from the road kill. B Tribal members and the general public are eligible to participate. B Animals must be harvested legally. The Fish & Wildlife Committee and Natural Resources Division thank you for your help in gathering information to help us main tain our deer and elk populations. Happy Hunting.
