Most staff recommenda
tions made for 1979 deer and
elk hunting seasons were
adopted by the Fish and
Wildlife Commission, though
several major changes were
made in response to public
testimony at town hall meet
ings and public hearings.
Three-point bull elk regula
tions were retained 1 in all
areas where they were in
effect last year, and the
four-point buck rule was
retained for deer hunting in
Steens Mountain Unit and the
southwest 4 of Whitehorse
