'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.
Thank you Mayor,
but what is it?

It's a good spirit. Working together
