Fire burns haystack, corrals
Sign up now for
free youth pheasant outside of Heppner
hunts in September
SALEM, Ore.—Reg-
istration is now open for
ODFW’s free pheasant
hunts for youth (age 17 and
under) happening around
the state in September. Lo-
cally, morning and evening
hunts are planned at Irrigon
Wildlife Area Sept. 24 and
Sept. 25.
Youth can register on-
line at www.odfwcalendar.
com/, at a license sales
agent or at an ODFW office
that sells licenses.
ODFW and partners
stock pheasants at these
special hunts that give
youth a head start on regu-
lar pheasant seasons, which
don’t begin until October.
Quail and dove may also
be hunted. Volunteers often
bring their trained hunt-
ing dogs to hunt with par-
ticipants. Some events also
begin with a shotgun skills
clinic, so participants can
practice clay target shooting
before hunting.
These events are only
open to youth who have
passed hunter education.
(ODFW has hunter educa-
tion classes and field days
available before the events.)
An adult 21 years of age or
older must accompany the
youth to supervise but may
not hunt.
“If your child made it
through hunter education
but is still new to the sport,
this is a great way to get
them started,” says James
Reed, ODFW hunter edu-
cation coordinator. “These
events happen before regu-
lar pheasant seasons open
and are a great opportunity
for kids to get out hunting.”
ODFW stresses safe-
ty during the hunts. Both
hunter and supervisor must
wear a hunter orange hat,
eye protection and a hunter
orange vest—equipment
provided by ODFW at
the clinics to anyone who
doesn’t have it. Hunters
also need to check in and
out of the hunt.
The hunts are free,
though participants need a
valid hunting license ($10
for youth 12-17, free for
age 11 and under) to hunt.
Youth hunters age 12-17
also need an upland game
bird validation ($4). Pur-
chase online, at a license
sales agent or ODFW office
that sells licenses. Licenses
and tags will not be sold at
the events.
While most areas have
a hunt both Saturday and
Sunday, youth hunters may
only sign up for one hunt.
They are welcome to hunt
stand-by on the other day.

HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES
188 West Willow • 676-9228
A county road department worker reported this fire in a haystack at the Kilkenny ranch on
Hwy. 74 out of Heppner last Thursday afternoon. Morrow County Sheriff’s Office was first on
the scene, followed by the Heppner Fire Department, mutual aid from Ione, and several local
farmers who showed up with a Cat, tractor and discs, farm water tenders and other equip-
ment. Heppner Fire Chief Rusty Estes says the fire started at the haystack, apparently from
spontaneous combustion, and burned the stack as well as about a quarter of John Kilkenny’s
wooden corrals. Kilkenny was out of town at the time. Estes says they don’t put out haystack
fires, but keeping the fire from spreading—and rounding up the eight bulls in the corrals—kept
firefighters and deputies busy until Kilkenny was able to arrive on the scene and take over.

ODFW wolf activity report:
Pups for Rogue Pack and new Silver Lake
wolves
Summer 2016 pup surveys by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ODFW confirmed at least
two pups for the Rogue Pack this year. These images were caught on remote cameras in the
Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest on July 12, 2016 and are courtesy of U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Oregon Dept. of Fish
and Wildlife (ODFW) and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice (USFWS) have con-
firmed that OR3 (an eight-
year-old male originally
from the Imnaha pack) has
paired up with OR28, a
three-year-old GPS radio-
collared female originally
from the Mt. Emily pack.
Based on remote cam-
era images, the two are
believed to have produced
at least one pup in 2016.
They are primarily using
the Silver Lake Wildlife
Management Unit in west-
ern Lake County and have
been dubbed the Silver
Lake wolves. A group of
wolves is designated a pack
when there is evidence of a
minimum of four wolves
traveling together in winter.
Wolf OR3 dispersed
from northeast Oregon’s
former Imnaha Pack in
2011, just a few months
before more well-known
wolf OR7. But unlike OR7,
OR3 had a VHS collar, not
a GPS collar. VHF collars
do not automatically trans-
mit location information,
and wildlife managers lost
track of him after the fall
of 2011. OR3 made a brief
reappearance on a trail
camera in the Cascades in
northern Klamath County
in the summer of 2015. His
radio-collar is no longer
functional. It is unknown if
OR3 bred before this year.
Other wolf activity in
southwest Oregon includes
the Rogue Pack, the Keno
wolves, and two radio-
collared wolves (OR25 and
OR33). Reproduction has
also been confirmed in 2016
for the Rogue Pack, with re-
mote camera photos of two
pups. Occasional remote
camera photos of wolves
are captured in the Keno
area of known wolf activ-
ity. Biologists will con-
tinue monitoring activities
to learn more about these
wolves. OR25 (Klamath
Co.) and OR33 (Klamath
and Jackson counties) are
both males dispersed from
the Imnaha Pack and are
each believed to be travel-
ing alone.
Give blood at the fair next
week
Blood donations urgently needed in the final
weeks of summer
The American Red
Cross urges blood donors
to give in the final weeks of
summer to help overcome
a critical summer blood
shortage, and locals will
have that chance at the Mor-
row County Fair next week.
The Red Cross says
summer months are among
the most challenging time
of year to collect enough
blood and platelet dona-
tions to meet patient needs.
Many regular donors de-
lay giving while they take
vacation and participate
in summer activities. The
need for blood doesn’t take
a summer break, though.
Two summers ago, Kel-
ly Griswold was involved
in a life-threatening jet-ski
accident while vacationing.
She was airlifted to a hos-
pital and underwent three
surgeries over the course of
two days. Griswold, a blood
donor prior to the accident,
suddenly knew what it was
like to be on the receiving
end of blood donations.
“Without the support of
people that can give blood,
the ones who have needed it
would not be here today—
myself included,” she says.
Donors of all blood
types are urgently needed
to give now to help ensure
blood is available for pa-
tients in need. Those who
donated blood earlier this
summer may be eligible
to donate again. Blood can
be safely donated every 56
days, and double red cells
can be donated every 112
days. In appreciation for
helping to save lives, those
who come to donate blood
or platelets with the Red
Cross now through Aug. 31
will receive a $5 Amazon.
com gift card claim code.
The Red Cross will
be at the Morrow County
Fair next Thursday, Aug.
18, from noon to 5 p.m.
for those who would like
to donate.
Schedule an appoint-
ment to give blood by
downloading the free Red
Cross Blood Donor App,
visiting redcrossblood.
org or calling 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
To help reduce wait times,
donors are encouraged to
make appointments and
complete the RapidPass
online health history ques-
tionnaire at redcrossblood.
