Last year a full camp was conducted for 70 campers. "We expect as many again this year,” says Broderick, "so when your 4-H'er gets the flyer in the mail, be sure to return it to the Extension office as soon as possi ble." Campers will be taken on a first-come first-served basis. Broderick is looking for a used refrigerator and freezer for the camp. Many organizations in addi tion to 4-H use the 4-H facilities at Cutsforth Park and would benefit from having the appliances. Anyone wishing to donate a refrigerator or freezer to Morrow County 4-H should call Bill Broderick at 676-9642.

I’m going to kill a Boone and Crockett buck. And I’m going to get him on my favorite ridge, right here in eastern Oregon (a state which boasts relatively few mule deer Of sure, I could go elsewhere and substantially increase my odds of achieving this goal, but I’d rather not. I’ll just keep trying on my favorite ridge, thank you, until I succeed. Call me bullheaded, but I’ve seen several there over the years that looked as if they’d score high enough to make the book, and I’m gonna get one. As sportsmen, we sometimes get overly stuck in our ways. I like to deer- hunt the 7,500-to 8,000-foot elevations of my favorite (though barely ac cessible) ridge, in part to escape the scurrying throngs of my fellow man, who would inadvertently shoot me (which, I’ve reasoned, is basically the same logic subscribed to by the largest buck), but also because I enjoy the above-or near-timberline style of hunting. Last season was no exception. The fall rains had everything looking green again, and each day that I was able to hunt. I’d find myself scouring the lofty boulder patches and buck pastures of my favorite ridge system. Yet I saw not one deer. Later, a biologist told me why: “ The fall green-up produced a lot of new feed,” he said, “ but you were hunting too high. The cold nights that came after the rains froze and killed all the new forage in the high country (it still looked green to me), so virtually all of the deer-even the great big bucks—dropped way down below the frost line to fill up on all the new feed.” Well, that figures. Sometimes it’s not enough to be politely told the error of our bull- headedness; sometimes we are slapped in the face with it. Last summer, for instance, I took my cousin, Rex, down the lower John Day for some smallmouth bass fishing. Rex had grown up fishing for largemouths in mid-state Louisiana (and is quite good at it), but had never tangled with a smallie. Certain that I could hook him up with a big, river bronzeback that would provide him the thrill of a lifetime, I equipped him with a three- inch, curly-tail grub and a 1/8-ounce jighead. After a half-hour or so, I had landed a couple of smallish bass on a pum- pkinseed grub identical to the one Rex was using, and one quite nice fish on a jig-and-pig (my ultimate big-bass lure). Rex hadn’t been bit. “ Reckon this might work?” he asked, holding up one of the largest char treuse spinnerbaits I’ve ever seen. “ Quick, throw that back in your box before you scare all the fish,” I admonished. “ These are smallmouth bass, Rex. Those work great for largemouths. or the smaller ones can be good for smallmouths in dirty water, but these river fish are spooky; they like smaller, more natural looking baits.” “ B’lieve I’ll try it anyway, just to see what happens.” There goes this hole, I thought, as the bright, %-ounce lure smacked heavily down on the crystal-like water. The throb from the two huge, silver (ugh) Colorado blades nearly doub'ed his rod as he began his retrieve. “ I tell you, it’s not going to work; these Kalin grubs are your best bet here. See this?” I swam my grub past him, feeling a little smug that I had qualified my authority by having already landed three fish. “ Just ease it along the bottom just fast enough to make its tail swim.” “ Well, see this?” Rex sneered as a three-pound smallmouth shot skyward with what looked like part of a Mardi gras costume hanging from its jaw. His next cast produced a four-pounder. Yet in unhooking the biute, he discovered that hard-fighting fish had broken the spinner-blade arm off of the bait, rendering it useless. “ That’s alright, Rex.” I muffled a snicker. “ I’ve got lots of grubs.” One of the most blatant displays of bull-headedness I’ve ever witnessed happened last winer. I had been using my depth finder to look for crap- pies beneath the ice at Unity Lake, when a trout fisherman strolled over to see what I was doing. Amazed, he asked if I’d use the unit to see what was under his hole, explaining that he had been fishing on the bottom in about 25 feet of water, but had caught only two or three all day. “ Here’s your problem,” I said, analyzing the screen “ The fish are all suspended about eight feet deep—just reel up and I'll tell you when you're in among them.” “ Aw, forget it,” he said. “ I’ve never had any luck catching trout anywhere but right on the bottom.” Webster defines bullheaded as “ stupidly stubborn.” But what does he know? He probably didn't even hunt or fish. We Stand Behind Our Motto PO BOX 209 n f Little League board to meet minor, T-ball tryouts planned a Bullheaded Sportsman Kate J.
