EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 19, 1990 to draw tags for, boasting higher hunter numbers and success rates, but fewer big bucks. In the 22 units managed under Strategy 2, 15 bucks per 100 does will be maintained. Perhaps the most difficult tags to draw will be for the eight units managed under Strategy 3, which is to sup port a minimum of 25 bucks (many of them older, mature animals) per 100 does, but will offer fewer available tags. According to ODFW District Wildlife Biologist Greg Hattan of John Day, Strategy 3 units will most likely include those with typically high buck ratios such as Steens, Trout Creek Mountain, Minam, Metolius, and so on. Many of these units have been limited-entry for some time and tags here have always been difficult to draw. On the other hand, many Strategy 1 areas were not previously limited entry, and Hattan 1 h\ M ark Bagett said higher tag numbers here should continue to offer increased hunting opportunity. The structure of the new mule deer "1 expect a lot of those units that have 12 bucks per hundred does management plan adopted by the will have tags left over,” he said. "In the first year at least, not all of Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission the tags will be taken.” ■ ... earlier this month is being touted by the Though ODFW admits some opportunity for mule deer hunting will p la n W ill Oregon Department of Fish and be initially reduced, biologists estimate that 90 percent of the applicants Wildlife to not only improve the overall will successfully draw a mule deer tag in 1991. quality of mule deer hunting in Oregon, "1 think it will be more than that,” Hattan said. “ I think what they but to provide hunters the option of ap looked at was the numbers they would cut from what is hunting there plying for hunts managed for bucks of now. And just going through the drawing process is going to eliminate varying quality as well. a lot of people who will choose not to even apply—like on the westem- The new plan calls for each hunt unit Oregon side, some will just say, ‘Well, I’m going to hunt blacktails in to be managed under one of three stead’. That’s the reason I’m saying that some of those units will have separate management strategies which tags left over.” will determine the number of bucks to be managed for each 100 does. One provision of the plan calls for developing incentives to make According to ODFW, 17 units will be managed under Strategy 1, which blacktail-deer hunting more attractive, possibly reducing the number of calls for 12 bucks per 100 does. Strategy 1 units will be among the easiest applicants for mule deer tags. Such a shift could mean increased deer hunting opportunities statewide. " I f I remember right, 16 percent of the western Oregon hunters who come over to hunt mule deer said they would remain to hunt blacktails if something was done to increase their hunting opportunities on the west side, like multiple deer (bag) or something like that,” Hattan offered, explaining that westside deer populations are currently not stressed. In the past, many mule-deer areas had varying season lengths—usually from five to 12 days, under the new plan, all mule deer buck season s will be extended to 12 days. Before all areas became limited entry, managers tried to protect suffering buck populations by reducing season lengths, but his was found to be ineffective. "Particularly in these units that are so badly roaded, 90 percent of Ann Spicer the deer taken are dead within the first four days,” Hattan said. “ Now (with a 12-day season), if someone wants to hunt toward the end of the Bill Kuhn season-or can’t come for the first of the season-they still have an op M ike M ills portunity to hunt.” The department also plans to develop a system to allocate leftover tags The office will be CLOSED Dec. 24 & 31st. from units which may not have been filled, as well as a "preference system" in which an unsuccessful applicant's odds of drawing a tag would increase the following year. EASTERN OREGON OUTDOORS H«f New mule-deer will manage fo r varied hunting opportunities We appreciate the good will and trust of our loyal patrons. Have a happy holiday. Ah, Christmas time. Eating, shopp ing, w ishing, receiving, plann ing...more eating. The holiday season brings with it the traditional values most appreciated by adults as well as enchan ting memories of our youth. It’s an ex citing, magical time for both young and old-and contrary to the belief of many _ spouses, eastern Oregon sportsmen are S p i r i t TOO far from exempt. * of course, as adults the magic takes on a somewhat different-though no less agreeable-hue. For instance, when I finally learned the real truth about Santa Claus I was relieved, if anything. The concept is much more acceptable now that I know that Saint Nick lives year-round at the North Pole only in the minds of youngsters-that, in reality, his off season (roughly January through October) is actually spent bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee in Florida. Incidentally, I can’t say as I blame the good elf; if I had his means of transportation I would likely do the same. Still, I can’t imagine why this information was with held from me as a child. Though the worries of finding enough money to get through the holi day season along with the high levels of commercialism that have taken over the entire scene these days can dull even the most festive spirit (if I see one more picture of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in a Santa suit I think I’ll bust), the excitement of opening gifts on Christmas morning remains as intense for adult sportsmen as it does for any ten-year-old. We never lose it; we just learn to disguise it. With all the wonderfully stimulating outdoor equipment on the market these days, the possibilities are endless for making this Christmas one any outdoors lover will never forget. Just as too many clothes (as op posed to toys) elicit forced smiles from children at tree time, the sport sman likes to get playthings too. Forget what he needs; he wants spor ting goods. Thanks to my wife’s flawless gift-buying system of having me mark down in my sporting goods catalogs virtually everything I’d like to have, she is assured of surprising me with something I truly want. And since I can easily use up an ink pen during a single session with a good catalog, scrutinizing and marking down all the nifty goodies is half the fun. Yet despite the almost endless selection, there remain a few articles on my want list that so far have eluded my close perusal of countless catalogs. These items include: The Spill-proof Tackle Box—Any angler would love this han dy, satchel-type box that alerts him when he has forgotten to latch its lid back down. When the handle is grabbed upon picking the box up, a pleasant electronic voice spouts "Watch it, you idiot. Do you really feel like picking all these lures up out of the dirt?” Electromagnetic Waterfowl Supplem ent-Scatter this high-protein game-bird treat wherever ducks and geese gather to feed. When hun ting season arrives, the feeds magentically charged iron minerals attract your steel shot (soon to become mandatory over all of eastern Oregon), making the birds impossible to miss. Also, using Electo’s Upland Game Supplement precludes you from ever having to buy lead shot again. No-Wonder Scope Mounts—Simply hit the release button of these precision scope mounts anytime you miss an easy shot at a big-game animal. Your scope will swing away and hang precariously from the side of your rifle, allowing you to exclaim to your partner “ No wonder. It looks like my scope got knocked off.” Guaranteed to snap easily back into perfect zero every time. Should you happen to run across any one of these hard-to-fmd items, purchase it immediately; you would be hard pressed to find a better gift for the sportsman in your family. And please, do me the favor of letting my wife know where you found it. Sportsmen Are Subject to Yuletide Too W E'D LIKE TO SEND YOU EACH A CARD But there's just too many of you!
