SIX The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, SepteiiiUer 13, 1979 Mule deer diminished but hunting for other big game looks good The outlook for the hunting seasons this fall is going to vary depending on the species of game you hunt. If you hunt mule deer, expect to find your opportunities diminished. But if upland game is your sport the outlook is much improved. Prospects for elk, black-tailed , deer, other big game and waterfolw may be pretty much on par with last year. A sever winter in parts of eastern Oregon this last yeat has reduced populations oi younger age-class mule deer in many areas, and even though there was a generally good carry-over of older bucks, hunters will find their ; prospects reduced in many units. A 12-day mule deer " season beginning September ; 29 is again on tap this year except in 11 management units where it will be only seven days long. A 4-point buck regulation applies only to Steens Unit and the southwest one quarter of Whitehorse Unit this year and a special permit is required to hunt there. Permits were issued first come, first served, and no more are availalbe. Black-tailed deer popula tions are in generally good shape, and long seasons have again been set for western Oregon. In the northwest part of the state hunters will again have a five-day either -sex season at the end of the C to C team still unbeaten Leading in the Tuesday Night Women's Bowling Sparetimers League is C to C with a 4-0 game record and 2,060 in total pins.

Rule changes foi school lunches Under a new Department of Agriculture rule, schools now have the option of sending . parents eligibility information only for reduced price meals served in the school lunch and breakfast programs. Previously, schools were required to send notices to parents giving income and family size criteria for both free meals and reduced price meals. general buck season. In south western Oregon that system was replaced this year with controlled management unit permits valid only in conjunc tion with an unused black tailed deer tag to take an antlerless animal. Elk herds are generally stable throughout the state although some reduction in productivity was seen in a few units, and a few areas there were also some winter losses . of calves. In western Oregon, mainly on the west slopes of the Cascades and central Coast Range, small herds are gradually expanding and pro viding additional new hunting opportunities. Heavy hunting pressure on the opening weekend contin ued to be a problem in more popular units last year, and a regyjatignja!as. adopted for this season which splits the elk, season for both Rocky Moun tain and Roosevelt elk: In eastern Oregon the first sea son runs October 27 .through ,31, and the second period is November 3 through 11. In western Oregon dates are ; November 10 through 13 and November 17 through 23. .The huner chooses one period when he buys his tag and his hunting is limited to that .period. V, : In western Oregon three point bull regulations will again be in effect in Saddle Mountain and Tioga units and hunters in those units must have a permit which restricts them to one unit or the other. ' There is no limit on the numbers of permits available. Chetco and Dixon units are also under a 3-point rule but anyone with a valid Roosevelt elk tag can hunt in these units. On the east side, the Chesnimnus Unit is restricted to 3,000 permit holders again this year, and Snake River is restricted to 1,000 permit holders and a 3-point bull regulation remains in effect. Hunters are reminded that the sale of deer and elk tags will end again this year before the general season begins. No deer tags will be sold after September 28, no Rocky Mountain elk tags after Octo ber 26, and no Roosevelt elk tags after Novermber 9. Bear tag sales ended August 31, the day before the general season opened. Vehicle restrictions will again be in effect in many parts of the state. In these closure areas a few main roads remain open to provide access, but side roads are closed and all off-road vehicle use is prohibited. Road clo sures are generally applied in areas where excessive road construction, usually for for est management purposes, has left game herds too vulnerable. They have been widely accepted by the hunt ing public, and they are all listed along with their effec tive dates in the game mammal synopsis.
