Many eastern Oregon deer hunters
this year witnessed firsthand the
dramatic, deer killing effects of the
drought conditions of 1987 ami 1988
followed hy the harsh winter of
1988 89 Good populations of huntahle
bucks were simply not available in
many areas of the region
But tins year, finally, the rams came
And the resulting green forage that
emerged late this summer, known as
the "fall green up.” has biologists ami
wildlife managers optimistic that the
deer’s improved physical condition this tall will lend to increased fawn
production ami survival among many troubled herds
"I would suspect that with any kind of normal type winter." vaijOregon
rx-partnjent of Fish and Wildlife's chief wildlife biologist Rod Ingram,
"we oilfcht to come through in pretty good shape for tfh- spring (fawnl
drop nest year, and with fairly gmxl survival of what's out there now "
According to Vic Coggins, ODEW District Wildlife Biologist from
Enterprise. p»x»r forage conditions during tall can be as detrimental to herd
populations as severe winters When the two occur in succession, the results
can be staggering
"It does two things," Coggins explained earlier this fall "First, a
drought fall, what we’ve found, will greatly reduce twinning rale, so you
have a lot less fawns produced And the other thing is that the si/c of the
fawn is usually small because the doe is try mg to put every thing into just
living, so survival rate on small fawns is really poor And then the milk
supply, of course, is not good, and then you get these severe winters plus
these droughts, and about the time they're maybe starting to gain a little
bit if they've survived the predation and everything else, the forage starts
drying up. the milk supplies drop, and pretty soon you've got no lawns
"Predation is an important factor anymore loo. I know it is." Coggins
continued "But you couple all of it together ami you've got a deer herd
in trouble And I've got a bunch of them (in trouble! right now , but I've
got a little hope that with this fall forage maybe next year we ll be ublr
to start having some fawns again
Coggins emphasized that even severe winters can be survived by greater
numbers oi iteer it tall torage conditions allow them to begin the winter
in excellent condition
" I'd have to agree," said Rod Ingram " If (Iasi fall) we'd have had
deer in the condition they're in this year, our losses wouldn't have been
anywhere near as bad as what wc saw " Ingram said that deer stop gam
ing body weight and their condition begins to recede during November
each year, even when aided by supplemental teeding programs
"They virtually begin starving to death from November on ITieir
reserves (stored bods fat) will keep them alive until March ami April when
(hey start to see some relief If you don't have too bad of a winter or if
they’ve got a lot of reserves, they come through in good shape II not.j
they use up all their reserves and they starve to death "
Ingram said that while conditions appear to be improving, the young
bucks becoming available for next year's deer season arc still the product j
of last spring s fawn crop, the result of which will not be known until
biologists complete their herd composition surveys in mid December
Unless fawn production was much higher than expected. Ingram looks (or
the 1990 deer season to be subject to reduce tag numbers and/or shorten
cd seasons similar to those imposed in 1989
" There arc probably some areas that are not as bail as we thoguht they
were going to be. but wc probably still do not have a good fawn crop j
If I had to guess off the top of my head. I'd sa\ it'll probably be a pretty '
conservative hunting season next year
