W « Print Business Cards “Happy New Year I The Port of Morrow and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have announced an agreement to open a portion of port lands near Boardman for game bird hunting access through the end o f w aterfo w l seasons. These lands are open immediately and access is allowed seven days a week with no permit. O DFW d iv isio n adm inistrator Ron Anglin said h u n ters should a p p re cia te th is new opportunity. “Hunters who treat private land access with resp ect and obey the regulations will assist greatly in keeping public access programs for future hunting seasons,” Anglin said. Agricultural circles owned by the port, combined w ith ad jac e n t C oyote Springs Wildlife Area, offer nearly 570 acres for hunting. These lands primarily offer field hunting for geese. The five agricultural circles are planted with winter wheat or alfalfa. To reach the hunt area from 1-84, take the Port of Morrow exit (exit 165), travel north on Laurel Road, turn right (east) on Columbia Avenue, turn right on Rippee R oad, and trav el approximately 0.25 mile to reach C oyote S p rin g s Wildlife Area and the Port of Morrow Cooperative Hunt Area parking lot. Maps and specific area regulations will be available at the entry sign located in the wildlife area parking lot, or at the Oregon D epartm ent o f Fish and Wildlife’s Pendleton office. H u n ters are rem in d ed that th is area o p e ra tes u n d er sp ec ific restrictions. Hunters should carefully read the regulations provided on map boards and area maps.
