OHA members work to ensure wildlife have plenty of
water during dry summer months
Volunteers from the
Oregon Hunters Association
have been making treks into
eastern
O re g o n ’s
backcountry over the past
two months to repair and
construct wildlife guzzlers
intended to ensure that big
game, upland birds and other
w ild life sp ecies have
adequate w ater supplies
during the dry sum m er
months.
The m ost recent
project took place in late
June when members of the
C apitol, Bend, Redmond
and Ochoco OHA chapters
gathered on the O choco
N ational F orest east of
Prineville to build three new
wildlife guzzlers in water
scarce areas of the Paulina
Ranger District.
"The Paulina Ranger
District is a dry district,” said
F o rest S ervice d istric t
w ild life b io lo g ist M ike
Feiger who oversees the
guzzler projects. "We get
less than 14 inches of rain in
a year and less than 10 inches
in the d rie r a re a s .”
C onditions like that can
make it tough for wildlife to
survive during droughts or
can limit their ability to use
areas that otherwise have
good habitat. Strategically
placed guzzlers can give
local populations o f big
game and upland birds a big
boost.
Wildlife guzzlers are
stru c tu re s d esig n ed to
collect and store water for
wildlife. They consist of a
flat surface that collects
rainwater and funnels it into
a storage tank with a place
out of which wildlife can
drink. Guzzlers vary in size
and some can collect and
hold more than 2.(XX) gallons
of water.
“The
g u zzlers
benefit a variety of wildlife
species,” said Kathy Kinkel,
of the Salem-area Capitol
Chapter of OHA. “We place
them in very arid areas that
don't have water. This opens
up m ore habitat and the
w ild life d o e sn ’t have to
crowd around a single water
source.” This is the third year
OHA members have helped
with guzzler projects on the
Paulina R anger D istrict,
which now has about 15 of
these structures.
O regon H unters
A sso ciatio n v o lu n teers,
along with volunteers from
the National Wild Turkey
F ed eratio n and Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation,
donate about 9(X) hours each
year working on guzzlers on
the Paulina Ranger District
and is equivalent to about
$9,000 worth of labor.
W orking w ith the
Oregon Department of Fish
and W ildlife, U.S. Forest
Service, Bureau o f Land
M anagem ent and private
landowners. OHA members
typically begin checking on
wildlife guzzlers for winter
dam age
and
o v erall
maintenance needs in the
spring as soon as melting
snow allows access into the
backcountry.
“It’s a yearly project
for us,” said OHA Klamath
C h ap ter m em ber Norm
Collins, “We try and go out
as early in the season as we
can to fix the guzzlers that
are damaged and get them
back in use." The Klamath
OHA members and staff from the Oregon Department of Kish and Wildlife examine a wildlife
guzzler on grasslands just west of Pendleton.

Chapter made their rounds in
late May. There are about
150 wildlife guzzlers in the
Klamath Falls area located
on both private and public
lands.
M em bers o f the
Lake C ounty C hapter of
OHA also went out in late
May to m ain tain som e
g u zzlers in the D iablo
Mountain area. "We will also
be going out to repair some
g u zzlers dam ag ed by
wildfire on Winter Rim.” said
c h ap te r p resid en t K eith
Reed. The Lake C ounty
C hapter is w orking with
BLM and ODFW to develop
a map o f all the w ildlife
guzzlers in the area so that
ch ap te r m em bers can
d ev elo p
an
on g o in g
maintenance schedule. The
Harney County Chapter of
OHA plans to build a guzzler
this summer on Elliott Ridge
west of Burns. Many other
OHA chapters around the
state build and m aintain
guzzlers on a regular basis.
