Following two mild winters, mule deer have contiuned to show improvements. Popula tions in some central and northeast Oregon units are now back up to normal and even the high desert country of southeast oregon, which has been slower to recover, shows improvements in fawn survi val and buck numbers this year. A few eastern Oregon units with postseason buck ratios below desired levels will have an earlier season closing date this year. Again hunters in the Beatys Butte, Steens Mountain, and White horse units can only take bucks with at least four points on one side. Blacktail deer hunters should find populations equal to or improved over those of last year in most areas, with a good carryover of older, mature bucks in the herds. The rains in late August and early September have sharply improved hunting conditions in much of western Oregon. Elk populations are little changed from recent rears. There was a good production of yearling bulls, which in many units provide most of the hunting, but also a getter carryover of older bulls in TH H HUM M m a.

The season will close a week early in several eastern Ore gon units where bull ratios are low. Two units, Chesnimus and Sled Springs, will be restricted to 2,500 and 3,500 permit holders, respectively, for bull hunting. And three other units, the Snake River Unit in northeast Oregon and the Chetco and Dixon units in southwest Oregon , will open only for bulls with at least three antler points on a side. It is important for both deer and elk hunters to remember that a tag sale cutoff will be in effect this year. No deer tags will be sold after mid night, Septimber 30; no Rocky Mountain elk tags after mid night, October 28; and no Roosevelt elk tags after mid night, November 11. Vehicle restrictions in effect last year during deer and.or elk seasons will be continued this year and there will be a few new areas as well. In most of these areas a few major roads remain open to allow access but side roads and all off-road vehicle travel is restricted, thus giving game animals a more even break and putting the hunter on foot or horseback. Vehicle restriction areas are listed in the Game Mammal General Regulations with Ron D, r - 4o4r at the discs third with a 70 in the championship flight to make it a clean sweep for the Hood River threesome. In the first flight, John Edmundson won the top trophy with a score of 67. Edmundson also claimed the $5 prize presented by the Bank of Eastern Oregon for his KP Girl's volleyball booklet and hunters are ad vised to consult the list to see if any restrictions will be in effect in or near the areas where they hunt. Detailed maps of individual areas are available for those who need them. Production of most species of upland birds was down this year, apparently due to weath er factors during the nesting season. But there was an excellent carryover of adult birds through the winter from last year's crops. Overall, upland bird hunters will find adequate populations of most upland birds for good hunting but there will be fewer numbers of young-of-the-year in the flocks. An exception is sage grouse which again remains at the bottom of its population cycle and for which no season was set in 1977. s E A S 0 n s li CALL 422-7147 422-7140 SSlWaiaalaakaa&fttlLHriajSMl crown on the fifth hole. Wayne Kuhn's 69 was good for second place, followed closely by Treve Gray in third with a 70. Herb Wright of Fossil came on strong after the qualifying round to claim the first place trophy in the second flight with a 67 and was followed by his playing partner, Milt Boring with a 73. Third place went to Bill McLeod for a score of 74. McLeod, playing with a broken foot, also won the $10 prize for KP on the fourth hole. Other KP winners included Doug Gunderson who claimed the Boyce Insurance award of $5 and Jim Stanton collected three golf balls for his KP on the third hole. Golfers from Hood River, Pendleton, Fossil, Kinzua, Boardman and Heppner par ticipated in the Saturday event. Proceeds from the tourn ament will go to the Oregon Lions Sight Foundation and Eye Bank to help continue sight conservation programs. take to the woods Pheasant production was below normal in many areas this year but it should be another fairly good hunting year in parts of Umatilla and Malheur counties. Game farm birds will again be released on a number of public hunting areas throughout the state during the season. Although chukar production was down sharply in many areas, there was an excellent carryover of adult birds and there should be adequate numbers to provide hunting. Another very good water fowl season is anticipated. Production on the Canadian wetlands was good this year and a duck migration similar to last year is expected. A better than average flight of dusky Canada geese is expect ed to the Willamette Valley wintering grounds. Produc tion of local ducks in Oregon GAME SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC. JAN.

There are several important regulation changes from last year. The Snake River and Wenaha units close on November 6 instead of November 13 as in other units. The Snake River unit is open for 3-point bulls or better only and Chesnimnus and Sled Springs are limited for bull hunting to permit holders. mm it i - it I IWHli 11 GHEG0U 1 in portions of the state where water supplies were more abundant. In Heppner Unit hunters will find elk scattered and in small herds throughout the higher elevations. A high percentage of the available bulls will be taken opening weekend due to the extensive road system. Adverse weather will improve hunter success after opening weekend. A good season is expected in Umatilla Unit for mostly yearling bulls and in Ukiah Unit elk numbers are equal to or improved over last year with a fair number of branch antlered bulls this year. Chesnimnus Unit has a similar number of mostly yearling bulls but hunter numbers are limited to 2,500 by a limited entry permit system. Success will be large ly keyed to weather condi tions. Desolation Unit should pro vide good elk hunting this year but success is expected to be limited in the Northside, Murderers Creek, and Beulah units for bulls. Minam Unit has a good bull carryover and this may be one of the best units for a trophy animal. But hunters must be equipped with pack animals and prepared for severe winter conditions in a remote area.
