SPORTS BRIEFING
WOMEN’S SPORTS
U.S. appeals court to consider Idaho transgender
athletes ban — An appeals court on Monday will con-
sider the constitutionality of the first law in the nation ban-
ning transgender women and girls from playing on women’s
sports teams. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear
arguments in the case that will likely have far-ranging conse-
quences as more states follow conservative Idaho’s lead. Idaho
passed its law last year, and more than 20 states have consid-
ered such proposals this year. Bans have been enacted in Al-
abama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia.
Florida lawmakers passed a bill, and South Dakota’s governor
issued an executive order.
BASEBALL
Oregon drops in polls after series loss at Washington
State — Oregon baseball dropped in the polls following a
series loss at Washington State. The Ducks (27-11, 11-7 Pac-
12) are No. 11 in d1baseball.com, No. 13 in the USA Today
coaches poll, No. 15 Collegiate Baseball, No. 17 in Baseball
America and No. 21 in Perfect Game after dropping two of
three against the Cougars this weekend.
BASKETBALL
Oregon women’s forward Arielle Wilson retiring — Or-
egon women’s basketball is losing a player to retirement. Ari-
elle Wilson, who appeared in only 17 minutes over eight games
this season, has left the program and is retiring from basket-
ball, according to a UO spokesman. A junior college transfer
who joined the Ducks last year, Wilson attempted three shots
and had just one assist in her limited playing time at UO with
four of her appearances lasting less than two minutes. She is
the fifth non-graduating player to leave the program this off-
season, joining transfers Taylor Chavez, Jaz Shelley, Taylor
Mikesell and Angela Dugalic. Wilson’s departure leaves Ore-
gon with six returning scholarship players and two incoming
signees, including Sedona Prince, Nyara Sabally and Kylee
Watson returning at forward and center signee Phillipina Kyei.
FOOTBALL
Amazon to take over ‘Thursday Night Football’ pack-
age in ‘22 — Amazon Prime Video will become the exclusive
home of the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” package a year
earlier than originally anticipated. Amazon and the league an-
nounced Monday that Prime Video will take over the entire
package in 2022, which will make it an 11-season deal through
2032. It was originally supposed to begin in 2023 when the
league’s new media rights deals kick in. This is the first time a
streaming service has had the full rights to an NFL package.

The boss bird wind-milled
in the sun-cured grass and
its posse went up the hill and
disappeared into the fringe of
oaks.
I ran up the hill to claim my
prize, a 15-pound gobbler with
a beard that measured almost 6
inches long.
These are the good old days
of turkey hunting. I’ve been
saying that for a few years now,
and each year’s harvest seems
to outpace the season before.
The 2020 season was a
standout for social-distancing
turkey hunters.
Going by the numbers, Or-
egon’s best turkey habitat is in
the southwest corner of the
state in the Melrose, Rogue,
Applegate and Evans Creek
units.
According to the harvest
information from the 2020
spring season, the Rogue Unit
produced 518 turkeys for 1,249
hunters with a success rate of
.41 birds per hunter. The next
most productive unit was the
Melrose with a harvest of 443
birds and .62 birds per hunter.
Central Oregon’s White
River Unit comes in fourth
place. In the 2020 season,
1,722 shotgunners and ar-
chers hunted the White River
and tagged 391 toms. With
43% public lands, the White
River Unit has ample room for
a hunter to ply a call. Other
dry-side best bets include

Over the last three years, I have chased the Utah and Wyoming
Cutthroat Slams with a group of friends, collecting all the subspecies
of cutthroat trout on a fly rod. One of our go-to moves is to fish dry
and dropper. In the absence of a hatch, a beetle pattern is a good at-
tractor that will turn a trout’s head.
J’s Regal Beetle (available in black and tan) is a terrestrial pattern
that works great in trout streams and panfish ponds. The body is
sculpted from Evazote foam, segmented with wire, an orange hot
spot and Ice Dub on the belly. The orange parachute post makes it
easy to keep track of in the current. Rubber legs and eyes add realism.
In fast water, it is a good choice when the fish have been jaded by
other patterns and have quit biting. When fishing still water, let the
Regal Beetle sit for awhile with an occasional short strip every 45 sec-
onds to activate those shaky legs.

There has never been a bet-
ter time to become a turkey
hunter in Oregon. Since the
first introductions in the 1960s,
turkeys have filled in prime
habitat in every county.
It isn’t difficult for a tender-
foot to get started.
Start with a 12-gauge or

20-gauge shotgun and a box of
No. 4s, 5s or 6s. Pattern the gun
with the selected load out to
40 yards. Start at 10 yards and
work back to 50 yards, with a
target about the size of a silver
dollar.
Somewhere about 40 yards,
the pattern will open up. The
load ceases to be effective when
there are less than six pellets in
a turkey’s neck and head.
Calling is easy to learn.
There are several types of calls:
the pushbutton, the slate, the
box and the mouth call, easy to
master with a little practice.
Plan to wear camouflage
from head to toe and all the
way out to the fingertips. A
facemask and gloves complete
the costume.
Much of what the tender-
foot turkey hunter needs to
know has been covered in an

Oregon’s turkey hunt runs
through the end of May. The
daily bag limit is one male or
bearded turkey. Hunters are al-
lowed three for the season.
With a liberal limit and birds
in every county, there is a lot of
opportunity for a new turkey
hunter to bag one for dinner.
