The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore- Thursday. Feb. 10. 1977 M.NE Honkers out reboun Cards A fourth period effort fell short Saturday when lone hosted Arlington. The Honkers flapped to a 68-57 win despite Dennis Stefani's 20 point ef fort. Stefani and Gary Smythe traded high point honors for Kickin' things around (Cont. from page 8) killed by cars. More deer and more cars mixed can only mean more deaths. The 181 counted Friday was only about half the number Ward counted in the area in January. There was more snow on the ground, which made them easier to observe, he said. In January, Ward counted nearly 50 bucks and around 350 deer. Right now is a good time to observe deer, but observers should do it with caution. Never run the animals, because even though this is a mild winter, the season is still the hardest for the animals. The cold and freezing takes its toll no matter if the sun shines or not. Observe the animals, take pictures and have a natural high in the mountains. But don't shake the animals up by chasing them with rigs or honking horns to get them moving. We noticed Friday that the animals in the mountains were spooked, running at the first sound of the pickup engine. Usually in the hills this time of year, a rig can move up close as we did in another, isolated area. The muddy roads showed signs of many rigs, which means people are looking at the animals. We all know how spooked the pretty critters are in the fall, so it's nice to get a good look and maybe a picture or two during their calm time of year. Take a look, but be cautious and concerned and appreciative. And everybody pray for rain.
