The Cards controlled the non-league game from the start and used punishing defense to keep Wasco County completely off-balance. The Cards held a 22-6 advantage at the half and allowed only one ad ditional Redsides' score. Five Car dinal players were in double figures in tackles, including Deacon Heideman with 17, Jim Holtz with 16, Ryan Halvorsen and Brent Sheir- bon with 12 each and Eric Orem with 11. lone racked up 266 yards of total offense, 183 yards on the ground and 83 in the air. Mac Lovett was the leading rusher, carrying the ball 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Gabe Garcia had four carries for 48 yards and two • - ^ ; •'. » :jj v ' À*V'-y- V * touchdowns and Jim Holtz gained 41 yards in five carries. Quarterback David Wagenblast was 9-11 ft pass ing for 83 yards and he threw for three of the Cardinal touchdowns. “ We did what we wanted to do both offensively and defensively,” said coach Gregg Rietmann. “ We finally got a good defensive game going,” he added. Rietm ann credited Deacon Heideman with a great game for leading the team in tackles. He also said that Jim Holtz did some excep tional blocking, and that linebacker Brent Sheirbon had a solid defensive effort. “ We played a total game,’’ said Rietmann. “ We played both sides of the football very well.” The Cardinals travel to Lyle, Washington this Friday for what is likely to be a tough game. Kick-off time for the non-league contest is 7:30 p.m. ■ *» r \:. :< s-..- ' . >■/.- •*«-• •>✓ ...> , *. •;> t- :* V .A ■v. '/ ; • - ‘ ». ■ ' • V ÿ ■ ’t 4 - • « -’ ' - • ■ * /: ^ .

In fact, when asked where they would go to find a buck that would earn a slot in the Boon and Crockett record book, I’d wager that many of our more experienced buck hunters would name the craggy seclusion afforded above timer line as their first choice. But to be honest. I’m of the opinion there aren't as many monster bucks flirting with the eagles during hunting season as we’ve been led to believe. For years, we’ve been advised that the largest, wise old bucks always stick to the high country until deep snow or the November rut pushes them on down the mountain. Could be, but I’m starting to think it takes very special conditions to keep the big bruisers right on top, conditions that vye very seldom see in this part of thé state. Such conditions include at least moderate amounts of rain plus warm, frostless nights to keep the forage green and growing. In dry years such as this, I believe the “ mossy horns” —bucks five years of age and older-wili follow the green forage right down the slopes. As the feed dries out on top, they gradually work downward into the cooler, shaded draws and canyons at the upper fringe of the timber where the browse is still putting on succulent new growth. Here they have food, water and shade, and are required to move very little. The trouble with hunting these upper-mid-elevations is that it’s tough to spot feeding bucks when they remain beneath the timber canopy and, given the dry, noisy conditions, slipping up on one is nearly impossible. This fall, after scouting several miles of rubble-rock peaks and bone- dry, sub-alpine plants at the 7,000-to 8,000-foot elevations without see ing any sign until I had dropped a few hundred feet into the timber, I bounced my theory off of several wildlife biologists. Though they all pointed out that big mule bucks are tough to predict under any condi tions, most agreed that weather and forage conditions heavily influence their habits. “ Generally, when you see shifts in distribution of the critters,” says Brad Smith, assistant biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in John Day, “ it’s related to either weather conditions-and we really haven’t had anything to force them out of the high country-or water, or food. The last couple of dry years, maybe some of the things that they usually work on up in that high country is kind of burned up and they’re coming down after something else.” “ Another thing, too,” adds ODFW district wildlife biologist Greg Hattan, “ is that we’ve had such hot diy weather. People don’t realize how important it is for deer to have thermal cover in the summer. They lose body condition in the summer pretty rapidly if they don’t have something to thermal-regulate under-a tree canopy that has eight or 10 degrees cooler (temperatures).” But what about last year? We had plenty of fall rains and a good green up, yet very few big bucks were killed in many high country areas. Here’s where the need for warm frostless nights comes in. After I’d hunted the peaks with no success last season, a biologist explained that while good forage production did occur up high, several hard freezes thereafter killed the new growth, sending the deer in search of succulent, live vegetation beneath the protective, mid-elevation timber. If the high-country wall hanger you’ve been holding out for has elud ed you so far this season, try pulling down the north or east slope until you begin to notice green forage. And if you figure these ctitters out, be sure to let me know. I’ll more than likely be the one still circling the top of the mountain. ______________________ Feed Can lead to Big Bucks To receive a free statement of your ear nings covered by social security and your estimated future benefits, see LOUISE BYRD, our Financial Counselor, in our Financial Services Department, Mondays between 11-2. .
