"The stamp is intended to expand upland bird management programs," Durbin said. "Some of it would go into propagation of other birds, with the focus on birds that have potential of providing self sustaining popula twins in the wild f)ne thing we're looking at is an experimental program with a subspec ies of ringneck pheasant that Michigan is pioneering that they got directly from China a few years ago Then we re looking at ex paneling a juvenile hunt program Currently the only “ juvenile hunt ” available is a special two weekend hunt held annually in September at the E E Wilson Management Area near Corvallis, where young hunters accompanied by an adult (who may not hunt) can hunt an abundant population of stocked pheasants " It's intended to provide a good opportunity for the youngster to have a gmid hunt for pheasants." Durbin said “ We've had it at just this one management area for years, and we'd like to expand it to other manage ment areas around the state ” Durbin said other projects for the stamp monies will include habitat enhancement programs, improving hunter access through the acquisition or leasing of lands and creating informative extension materials available to landowners wishing to create and enhance upland bird habitat on private -acreages Propagation efforts are designed to introduce new upland bird popula tions into areas for which they may be well suited, ultimately providing additional hunting opportunities One ongoing effort has been the introduc tion of the French red legged partridge into many parts of the state, although the project thus far is said to have produced spotty results "By the end of this biennium we re going to have to decide whether to continue that program or not We re getting mixed success with it; in a few areas it appears to be doing fairly well, but in other areas it doesn't seem to he taking hold--although it may Mil! be too sixin to say." Biologists had hoped the "rcdlcg.” which is similar in appearance to the popular chukar partridge but prefers lower elevations and brushy habitat, would be ideally suited to the valley areas of WcMcm Oregon, but Durbin said the best propagation so far has been achieved in Umatilla ¡County, near Pendleton Durbin said sales of the new stamp will also give the department a bet ter idea of the number of upland bird hunters throughout the state "O ne of the things that has always been difficult is getting a good han dle on upland bird hunters because they're just sort of mixed in there with our overall license buyers Wc really don’t know how many there arc or , where they arc " Gaining this type of information, Durbin said, will allow department researchers to conduct more accurate harvest surveys which, in turn, may point to more efficient management practices, "Upland bird management has always been sort of a ‘weak sister,' Dur bin said "You know. our state like nioM western states -has a pretty strong hxus on big game, so bird programs generally tend to take a back scat. But there is a strong interest, and there is a lot of things that we can do and that need doing, and this (stamp) is really an encouraging thing in that it gives us an opportunity to expand some efforts " _____________ TRUSTWORTHY 1 [ • by M ark Raitrtt Final barbecue held at WCCC , V : -:-Thc Rchckah Card Party was held Saturday evening at the hall Prccecding the playing the ghosts and scary people in costume was judged with Dot Halvorsen of lone winning Hi and Darryl Vinson In stead of the senes of parties with pn /es at the end of the time, the group voted to draw for women and men. steak dinners at the V & G Tavern The more times one plays the more chances they have of win ning. so try and join us for this fun time Winning prizes were hi men John Tellechea. second hi-Tom W ilto n ; high w om en-Joycc Buchanan, second hi Luella Taylor; traveling Joyce Buchanan and Dot Halvorsen and door prize Sue Vinson -:-Monday Gcri Martin.
