Honkers out reboun

A fourth period effort fell
short Saturday when lone

flapped to a 68-57 win despite

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.

It wasn't a come from

Mustangs led throughout the
entire game, but let the Viks
grab a tie with 11 seconds to

Heppner stands 2-5 on the
season now. Pony mentor Jim
Ackley said he thinks lone
could be 3-5 if they hadn't had
to cancel an early season
contest with Condon.
There was a schedule foul
up and the two teams' buses
passed each other twice on the
highway between Heppner
and Condon. The game was
cancelled.
But Ackley predicts that the
Ponies will tame their next
two foes. The Ponies face Pilot
Rock and Umatilla and with
the wins would go 4-5 to end
the season.
