It’s time to be thinking about Tri-
County 4-H Camp, according to Bill
Broderick, Morrow County Exten
sion 4-H/Livestock agent. 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.

One of these days. 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.
