SALEM — Any hunter who
purchased 2014 big game or
turkey tags needs to report
their hunt results by the Jan.
31 deadline for most tags.
Hunters are required to
report on each deer, elk,
cougar, bear, pronghorn and
turkey tag purchased — even
if they were not successful or
did not hunt. Sports Pac
license holders need to report
on each big game or turkey tag
issued.
Hunters have two ways to
report:
• Online at www.odfw.com
or at www.reportmyhunt.com.,
or by visiting an ODFW office
with a computer available for
hunter reporting in Corvallis,
Bend, Clackamas, La Grande,
Portland’s Sauvie Island,
Roseburg, or the Salem
Headquarters.
• By telephone at 1-866-
947-6339. Talk to a customer
service representative. Hours
are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
seven days a week.
Reporting deadlines are:
• Jan. 31, 2015, for all 2014
hunts that end by Dec. 31,
2014.
Hunters need the following
pieces of information to
report, which takes just a cou-
ple of minutes:
• Hunter/Angler ID number
(located on ODFW licenses,
tags and applications; this is a
permanent number that stays
the same from year-to-year).
• The two-digit Wildlife
Management unit (WMU)
number of the unit you hunted
in most and the unit you har-
vested an animal in if success-
ful.
• The total number of days
hunted (including mentoring
youth), the number of days
hunted in the WMU hunted
most, and the number of days
hunted in the WMU you har-
vested an animal in if success-
ful.
There is a $25 penalty for
not reporting deer and elk tags.
Hunters who fail to report
2014 deer or elk tags on time
will be penalized $25 when
they purchase a 2016 hunting
license.
This penalty is assessed
once, regardless of the number
of unreported tags.
“The information is used
when setting controlled hunt
tag numbers and hunting sea-
sons,” said ODFW Game
Program
Manager
Tom
Thornton. “We really appreci-
ate hunters taking a few min-
utes of their time to complete
the report.”

Apply for handgun safety class
A handgun safety class has
been initiated due to the
Oregon state law requiring the
average citizen show a certifi-
cate of competence and safety
to their county sheriff’s
department before applying
for a concealed handgun
license.
The Lane County Sheriff’s
Office set the minimal require-
ments for that application in
Lane County, and the Siuslaw

Siuslaw. Lutz died from drowning in 2009.

over the railing down to the

effort of muscle and teamwork
that Wartnik says epitomizes
the qualities of a good
wrestling team.
“It takes everyone working
together for it to work,”
Wartnik said. “Those mats are
extremely heavy, and we’ve
been doing it this way for two
decades.

Henley last Friday, with the
Hornets coming out on top
45-39. But on Saturday, the
Vikings got a shot at redemp-
tion against Phoenix, who
they had lost to in December.
This time, Siuslaw sank
the Pirates decisively, 52-38,
to go 1-1 at the tournament.
The girls’ team, mean-
while, posted a pair of losses,
beginning with Klamath
Falls on Friday, 63-24, then
Hidden Valley on Saturday,
51-38.
This Friday, the girls will

Saturday at 9 a.m., following
weigh-ins, the first matches
will get underway as wrestlers
begin a day-long journey
toward the championships that
evening.
“It’s a long, grueling haul to
reach the finals,” said Wartnik.
“Our objective is to make this
invitational as close to a state-
meet experience as possible.”
Along with teams from
Brookings, Cottage Grove, and
the 2014 state champion
Elmira Falcons, Reedsport will
be competing for the first time
in several years, along with
newcomer Amity from the 2A
division.
“Essentially, just about every
team from a two-hour radius in
any direction will be here on
Saturday,” said Wartnik. “The
invitational has come a long
way over the years.”
Finals are expected to begin
between 5 and 5:30 p.m.
The cost is $5 for adults and
$3 for children.
Members of the Lil’ Toads
wrestling team will be admitted
free.

ting that lead down to a single
basket by the end of the quar-
ter.
With Chris Free getting into
foul trouble early in the game,
the Sailors’ offensive firepow-
er was reduced in the second
half just as the Wolverines
began to rally. Freshman post
Dominic Wells fouled out in
the fourth quarter and was
quickly joined by Free, leav-
ing no relief from the bench
and only four players on the
hardwood for the Sailors as
Alsea moved into the lead.
“Our guys played extremely
hard,” said Crook. “Once we
got into foul trouble, our
handgun safety class has been
structured to comply with the
requirements set by the sher-
iff’s department and State of
Oregon.
After passing the class,
most students can then apply
for a concealed handgun
license. Applications for the
Siuslaw Handgun Safety Class
are now available at the
Florence Police Department.

was able to use that to their
advantage.”
Ford led the Sailors in scor-
ing with a season-high 28
points, 10 rebounds and two
steals. Simington had 14
points, three rebounds and
three steals. Daniel Collins
had three points, two rebounds
and two steals. Free had three
points and seven rebounds.
Tyler Packebush, in his first
career start, had a free throw
and a rebound.
Wells had two points and
two rebounds for the Sailors.
Last night’s game against
Eddyville was canceled.
Mapleton will be back on
the hardwood this Friday at
Mohawk, beginning at 7 p.m.
