Boeing lands near Boardman
open to public hunting
After more than a year of
discussions the door has been
opened for public waterfowl
and upland bird hunting on
more than 10O.0O0 acres of
previously closed land in the
Columbia Basin near Board
man, the Oregon Dept. of Fish
and Wildlife announced Mon
day. An agreement between the
Department of Fish and Wild
life and Boeing Agri-Industrial
Company has been
signed which permits public
recreational use beginning
with the hunting seasons of
1983.
The Boeing lands agree
ment was the major key to a
hunting package developed to
disperse massive concentra
tions of waterfowl which have
shifted into this area in the
past three years. Increased
corn production in combina
tion with large sanctuary
areas, abundant water and
minimal harvest, have drawn
as much as 70 percent of
Oregon's total wintering wa
terfowl population to the Co
lumbia Basin in northcentral
Oregon and southcentral
Washington, the department
said.
Also included in the total
package are U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service plans to ex
pand hunting opportunity on
adjacent Umatilla and Cold
Springs national wildlife
refuses, and a proposal to
open a 25-mile portion of the
Columbia River Refuge from
Boardman to Arlington.
Under terms of the agree
ment with Boeing, the De
partment of Fish and Wildlife
will control the public hunting
program, administer the
areas open to hunting and

berous begonia blossoms now.
These large waxy-appearing
flowers with their dark green
leaves range in brilliant
shades from yellow through
deep red. Most of the Gilmans'
begonias are the double flow
ering ones, although they have
a few with single-type flowers.
Along the driveway fence
between their yard and that of
Bob and Theta Lowe, the
Gilmans have a bed of phlox,
roses and petunias which is
also very colorful now. It
features mostly shades of

Boeing leasees, and camping
will not be permitted on the
area. Denney said. It will be
important for hunters to coop
erate in observing all regula
tions and restrictions, he
emphasized, to insure that the
area remains open in future
years.
None of the areas included
in the hunting program except
portions of the national wild
life refuges have previously
been open for public hunting.
According to the Dept. of
Fish and Wildlife, biologists
have become increasingly
concerned over the past three
years as the waterfowl popu
lation has continued to grow in
the Columbia Basin area. The
area has always been impor
tant for wintering waterfowl,
especially mallards and
Canada geese. Traditionally,
the basin area has hosted
about 20 percent of the state's
wintering waterfowl popula
tion. But during the past three
years, this has increased
sharply and the area now
concentrates about 70 percent
of the waterfowl found in the
state during the winter
months. More than 750.IHM)
ducks have been wintering in
the Columbia Basin area.
The Fish and Wildlfie De
partment is now developing
details of the hunting pro
gram, and further informa
tion, maps and permit appli
cation procedures will he es
tablished and publicized be
fore bird seasons begin in
mid-October.
