This Is the most pups he has ever found in one den and believes it to be a record number. Seven Is an average litter. McDaniel said. Tve found 12. 13 and 11. but never 16 before," he add ed The hunter, who Is working for Mrs. Kuggs on the cattle part of her operation, is devot ing only part time to hunting predators at the present. He believes that all of the pups are from the same moth er since thev were In the game den. A dog aided In ex tricating the animals and suf fered a healthy bite from ona of the pups. 'Their teeth are like fish hooks and are sharp as a ra zor." McDaniel said. He spotted a female In the area and this led him to search for the den. McDaniel wasn't able to bag the moth er. Mrs. Rugg has four band of sheep and coyotes have been taking a toll In three of them.

Their combined labor and manage ment, thev feel, makes this type of organization adapted to their farming enterprise, iney start ed out with their father, Henry Peterson, in 1954. In 1962 the senior Peterson retired and the brothers entered into a working agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Holmes Gabbert for the Gab bert Ranch. The Gabbert ranch is now leased. They feel that a great deal of credit for the progress they have made in putting conserva tion on the land should go to Vioir lanrilnrHc thf Gabbert family, who are conservation minded. Their father, Henry, was one of the early prime movers in the organization of the Heppner Conservation District.
