Emergency hunt possible...
Lots of deer
NRA sets meeting

Over the Tee Cup j
await hunters
The special doe hunt last
weekend was termed success
ful by all involved and
upcoming hunting seasons
appear to offer the best of
many years.
Glen Ward, Oregon De
partment of Fish and Wildlife,
said emergency hunt rosters
are now being compiled if they
are deemed necessary later
this year.
"We had about 80 per cent of
the hunters bagging their
animal by noon of opening
morning last weekend," said
Ward, "and there's still a lot
of animals out there."
Ward and Oregon State
Police Game Officer Vic
Groshens both commented
that very few problems with
hunters were encountered.
"It was one of the best
opening days I've seen for
awhile," said Groshens.
Ward noted that although
rains came recently, the fire
danger is still extremely high
and hunters are asked to be
extra careful, observing rules
in the game manual.

The Heppner junior varsity
football team evened its
season record at 1-1 after a
16-0 shutout at the hands of
Oregon Trail Monday.
The JVs had begun the
season with a roust of their
own in posting a 6-0 win over
pilot Rock the previous week.
In that game Heppner's lone
score came on a 25-yard
return of an interception by
Bryce Powell. The team
picked up 225 in total offense
and Coach George Koffler
cited the play of Eric Clow, the
team's leading ground gainer
and a defensive standout.
In the second game loss,
Clow again played well, rack
ing up six tackles and eight
assists. Freshman quarter
back John Bier directed the
offense which gained 117 total
vards.

If camp fires are permitted on lands where you
plan to hunt, then make sure the fire at your
hunting camp is built in an open spot which is
tree trom flammable material such as dry grass
or forest litter. Camp fires are not to be left
unattended, and must be completely
extinguished before leaving your camp to hunt.
Fires are not permitted outside your camp area
during the closed fire season. The season will
not end until general statewide rains occur and
an official proclamation is issued terminating
the fire season.
If you smoke in the woods do so in a safe place.
Do not smoke while traveling on foot or
horseback. Stop, clear a spot, then rest and
enjoy your smoke. Don't flip cigarettes and
cigar stubs or pipe ashes. In the spot you have
cleared, grind the ashes or snipe into the earth
with the heel of your shoe.
District Foresters, Forest Rangers and Range
Managers are asking your cooperation again
this year to protect your hunting areas and to
KEEP OREGON GREEN.
Good luck. Hope you get your buck, fellow hunter.
