Many of the nation’s homeless will
be a little less hungry this year, thanks
to the humanitarian efforts of thousands
of big-game hunters.
Throughout the past year, an increas
ing number of America’s sportsmen
have been participating in a special pro
gram which collects donations of fresh,
wild-game meat taken by hunters and
distributes it to the needy.
The idea for the Sportsmen Against
Hunger program was bred last fall
while several officers of the Safari Club
International, an elite order of hunters conceived to educate the public
about wildlife management and conservation and to protect hunters’
rights, were hunting exotic game in Texas. The campaign soon spread
throughout Safari Club chapters from coast to coast, and during its first
six months and with only limited publicity. Sportsmen Against Hunger
provided over 50 tons of nutritious, big-game meat to homeless or other
wise hungry people.
In September of this year, some 300 hunters-all well-known sport
smen. celebrities, politicians and businessmen from the United States
and Africa—were asked to share a portion of their take when they gathered
to participate in the 50th anniversary of the famed One Shot Antelope
Hunt in Lander, Wyoming. The One Shot Hunt is a colorful, tradition-
rich annual invitational in which hunters must stalk the speedy, farsighted
pronghorn with a single cartridge.
The request resulted in a great many of the participants offering part
of their kill to Sportsmen Against Hunger, according to information from
Safari Club International. So impressed was Wyoming Governor Mike
Sullivan with the effort that he donated his entire antelope to the program.
“ We’re pleased with the response to the program,” said Sportsmen
Against Hunger Committee Chairman John Harvill. “ The comments we
received in Lander from people who heard about the program for the
first time were great, and we’re looking forward to seeing the results
of other celebrity hunts that will be held this fall.”
Hunters wishing to contribute to the program’s fight against hunger
are asked to share a portion of their game by delivering it in two-pound
packages of commercially ground (at the hunter’s expense) hamburger
to their nearest Salvation Army outlet. Since many hunters have their
meat professionally processed anyway, it seems such a small gesture
to part with a few packages, yet it accomplishes so much.
Though the program was initiated for the single purpose of aiding the
needy, hunters as a whole could realize long-term accomplishments in
the fight for the protection of their sport by the favorable public opinion
it has already begun to generate.
“ I can’t imagine that it won’t (help protect the future of hunting),
because it's such a win-win situation” said program coordinator Donna
Lam. “ 1 received a letter from a young lady-and it was one of those
letters that when I started reading, 1 thought, ‘Oh dear, it’s going to be
very anti-hunting,’ but by the time I got to the last paragraph, she was
volunteering to work for the program. That’s the kind of effect it’s go
ing to have on anti-hunting.”
Sarari club International is urging sportsman’s groups, individual
hunters, Salvation Army outlets and other possible distribution centers
in Oregon and across The nation to receive more information by contac
ting Donna Lam at Safari Club International, 4800 W. Gates Pass Rd.,
Tucson, 'Az. 85745.

“ We need to track donations and give America’s sportsmen the credit
they deserve in helping fight hunger and homelessness, ’ ’ said John Har
vill. “ We intend to set an army of hundreds of thousands of people into
action to reach our goal of 200 tons of meat to feed the hungry this year,
and to compound that amount each year into the future.____________
Hunters Rally
to Help the
Hungry
Fall Fishing
Heats Up
With Cooler
Weather
With the 1990 eastern Oregon buck
deer season little more than just a vivid
memory, many sportsmen’s and sport
swomen’s thoughts have already turn
ed to elk hunting-or to upland birds-
or waterfowl. Surprisingly, very few
ara fueling their boats and heading back
to their favorite lakes. After all, it’s get
ting a bit cool for fishing—and besides,
that’s just something to do when we
can’t go hunting, right? To paraphrase
Waylon Jennings in one of his more
profound, one-syllable analyses:
“ Wrong.”
Traditionally, some of the best fishing of the year begins during the
period between deer and elk season, often lasting until just before the
lakes freeze. The end of the summer doldrums cues a marked increase
in activity among both lake and river fish for several reasons. Cooler
water temperatures usually mean higher levels of dissolved oxygen-a
refreshing respite from the stressful, low-oxygen conditions of the hot-
water months. Also, most game fish feed quite actively throughout the
fall in order to increase the fat reserves that will carry them through
the fast-approaching winter months.
Trout fishing can be superb; big rainbows and browns start spending
more and more time in shallower water, often attacking any moving ob
ject which resembles their preferred forage size. Their cousins, the char-
-brook trout, lake trout, bull trout and Dolly Vardens-also perk up this
time of year, as these are all fall spawners. In the Metolius Arm of Lake
Billy Chinook, for example, some of the best action of the season for
big bull trout is expected to take place from now until the Arm closes
October 31. Another fall spawner, the kokanee, offers exceptional late
season fishing. Limits of 25 per angler are now being taken at Billy
Chinook (the Metolius Arm again), while Simtustus, Paulna Lake and
other waters where kokes occur are also giving up good catches of the
small salmon.
It may be difficult for neophytes to imagine how bass fishing could
improve during fall (given the present drawn-down, mud-bank condi
tion of most of our reservoirs), but seasoned bassers know not to let
this productive time of year pass them by. Depending upon the water
levels and where their forage can be found or easily caught, the bass
may or may not move back into the exteme shallows to feed, but be
assured of this: they will be feeding somewhere-heavily.
With the reservoirs drawn down to only a fraction of their capacity,
most of us spot all the prime structure areas we wished we would have
fished earlier in the year, while they were still under water. But Dub
LaShot, a top western tournament contender and fall-fishing specialist,
uses these dried-out habitat areas to point to concentrations of hungry
autumn bass.
“ What I’ll try to do on those drawn-down lakes, as long as they're
still falling or have stabilized and not started (to fill) up,” LaShot says,
“ is look for the points that drain the largest flat area. I’ll try to find
the areas that have drawn the most fish out of the best habitat.”
LaShot figures that by concentrating his efforts in these areas, he is
apt to find almost the entire bass population of an expansive, albeit dry,
prime-habitat area, bunched up on the first deep-water point below it.
“ If you can get on to those kinds of spots in the fall,” he claims,
“ shoot, you don’t have to move anywhere at all; you can really load
the boat."
LaShot wavers from this pattern only if heavy fall rains begin to raise
the water levels. Then, he claims, bass will migrate from the points into
the backs of the coves and creeks to take advantage of increased nutrients
entering the reservoir and the baitfish that gather there to feed on it.
So. by all means, go hunting; I certainly do But don't forget: hunting
season is one of the best fishing seasons, too.

hear...Shirley Swecker, manager of
the Northwestern Motel shared what
we hope will be come repetitious in
the months to come. A couple were
guests last week as a result of glow
ing reports from their son on his Cy
cle Oregon visit to Heppner. “ We
just had to come visit this wonder
ful town,” said his mother.
* Chamber, with the cooperation
of the Morrow County Museum,
Forest Service and the Methodist
Church Women will be hosting a

a tour of the museum and an authen
tic St. Paddy’s Day stew feed while
they hear the highlights of Morrow
County’s scenic bi-way trip. We
hope the end result will be some bus
tours to Heppner.
* Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day,
it’s high time to think Irish again.
There will be a meeting Wednesday,
Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Shoe Box
Conference Room. We would like to
see organizations take on some of the
events this year. We have a good
time and it’s worth all the work.
Come join the St. Pat’s Committee
if you want to help. Everyone is
welcome.
* Tuesday. October 23, Chamber

Tips_____
How to protect you and your car:
If your car should break down and
you’re not near enough to one of
your safe spots follow these stops:
Get off the roadway out of the path
of oncoming traffic, even if you have
to drive on a flat tire. The tire is
replaceable;
Turn on your emergency flashers.
If you have an emergency roadway
flares in your trunk, position them
conspiciously;
Raise the hood and tie a hanker-
chief to the aerial or door handle;
If a motorist stops to render
assistance it’s better to remain in the
car and ask him to get help.
October is crime prevention
month so let’s take a bite out of
crime.
