'73 Hunting DATED Except for Roosevelt elk, Oregon hunters will have sim ilar opening dates for the 1973 hunting seasons as they did in 1972, according to regulations adopted by the Game Commis sion January 5, following a public hearing at its Portland headquarters. Deer hunters will kick off the 1973 buck deer season on October 6, with the same date set for the opening of the chukar partridge season. Opening date for Rocky Mountain elk is October 27 and that for Roose velt elk November 17, the latter season one week later than usual. The primary reason for delaying the Roosevelt elk season is the possibility that the black-tailed deer season may be extended later in November than normal. Bow hunters will begin the early archery hunts on August 25. The season for pheasants and quail was set to open October 20. The Commis sion also adivised nimrods that the antelope season will probably open on August 18 although the date was not adopted as final. The Commission's objective in setting opening dates early in the year is to provide ample time for Oregon hunters to plan vacation periods to coincide with the game seasons of their choice. Length of seasons, bag limits, and other regulations for 1973 will be established at a public hearing in May for big game animals and in early August for upland game birds and waterfowl.
