Sportsmen Spend
5 Million Days
In U. S. Forests
Hunters and fishermen spent
nearly 5 million visitor days
pursulnx their sports on Nation
ill Forest hinds In Orecon and
Washington in lH7. The lands
provide habitat (or approximate
ly half of the wild animals uf
the two states.
The U. S. Department of Ag
riculture's Forest Service coop
erates with Orcjjon and Wash
ington came and fish depart
ments In providing wildlife
needs. The states manage the
wildlife and set seasons and bag
limits while the National For
ests provide the food, cover, and
living space.
In noting the observance of
Wildlife Week. March 17-23, Re
gional Forester Charles A. Con
naughton said the cooperative
effort has paid off handsomely
In that harvest of deer and elk
is one of the highest In the na
tion. Oregon has been at or near
the top In deer harvest for many
years. Washington, with less
land area, has not been far be
hind.
This bountiful harvest of big
game has not occurred by ac
cident, Connaughton reminded,
Control of hunting through un
it-area management, jud 1c 1 o u s
timing of seasons and limits,
either-sex hunting, Increased
law enforcement, browse im
provement through timber man
agement, Improved systems of
livestock grazing, and wildlife
habitat improvement projects
all have been instrumental.
The Forest Service worked
with other federal, state, and
private land managers in 143
fish and game habitat improve
ment projects in' 1967.
Fisherman use was extremely
heavy on four fishing lakes con
structed cooperatively with the
Oregon Game Commission: Tril
lium Lake, Mt. Hood National
Forest; Cottonwood Meadows,
Fremont National Forest; Can
yon Creek Meadows, Malheur
National Forest; and Bull Prair
ie. Umatilla National Forest. A
filth, Jubilee Lake in the Uma
tilla National Forest, will be
open to anglers this year.
Hunting and fishing are im
portant uses of the National
Forests, which are managed to
provide maximum benefits to
owners of the lands the Amer
ican people, said Regional For
ester Connaughton.
