Optimistic hunters
Oregon hunters can look
forward to another good year
with most game species at
levels equal to or better than
last year.
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

many units due to the dry
weather and difficult hunting
during last year's elk season.
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

a clean sweep for the Hood

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

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.

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

Elk forecast
appears bright
Elk hunters should have a
good season in northeast
Oregon with populations gen
erally similar to last year and
improvements seen in some
units. 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.

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.
