Cardinals defeat Wasco
By Anne Morter
The lone Cardinals defeated
Wasco County on the gridiron last
Friday night 38-14 on the lone field.
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

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.

While trophy mule deer bucks can be
found in virtually all of the diverse
habitat and topography of central and
eastern Oregon, none can quite match
the images conjured of the huge, heavy-
antlered monarchs that live among the
pikas, boulders and bighorns near the
crests of our more predominant moun
tain ranges. 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.
