Eastman said the Heppner Project area is 5,700 square miles with 79 percent of that elk or deer range. To manage the elk and deer, hunting has been regulated to muintain 2,950 elk in the winter with a ratio of eight bulls for every 100 cows. They also regulate to have 29,500 deer with a ratio of 10 bucks for every 1(H) does. The Heppner Unit has had more than the desired 2.B50 elk for the Inst five years until last year when it fell to 2,280. The mule deer goal of 14,500 has been below that in the same area for the last five years except for 17B when there were I4,7it0. The demand for elk hunting has increased tag sales 19 percent from 1976 to 1978, Eastman said. Total elk hunters In the last 15 years have Increased 2'4 times. The 1979 strategy to reduce hunters by splitting t; bull elk season into two periods was generally successful, he said. Total deer hunters have doubled in the last 15 years, he continued. Tag sales In creased 52 percent from 1976 to 1978 for mule deer. The number of hunters for Rooky Mountain Elk recom mended at any one time is 3,000 in the Heppner Unit. On opening day in 1978, there were 4.4BO. The total that year was 6,280 compared to 2,800 total in 1970. The mos deer hunters at any one time is recommended to be 7.5(H) while there were 10,870 on opening day in 1978. Only about 12 percent of the bull hunters were successful from 1976 to 1978 with an average take of 6(H) elk each year for all of the hunters. Eastman said the deer take average was 5,800 a year from 1976 to 1978 but adverse weather conditions, rather than the hunting harvest, seemed to effect the deer crop the most. Eastman said.

Last year, the water content was 16.5 inches at this same time.
