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

if something was done to increase their hunting opportunities on the west

explaining that westside deer populations are currently not stressed.
In the past, many mule-deer areas had varying season lengths—usually

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.
