PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1935. ONE HUNTER IN 30 GOT A BUCK, SAYS Officials Estimate 150 Deer Kiiled in Rogue River Na tional Forest Other Ani mals Are Estimated The annuel report to the regional format r of the wild life census taken thla year by officials of Rogue River national forest was released today, giving an interesting summary of the deer hunting season and the number of game animals, predatory animals, fur-bearing animals and fish estimat ed to Inhabit the woodlands, lakes and at res ma. Estimates of the number of deer seen and killed this year were made from actual check on the number taken out of the forevc during the rirst week of the seaon, and ttie number or bucks and does seen. There were 4.076 black-tail deer in Rogue River national forest this year, ac cording to the oenaus, while mule deer numbered 13. The number of deer killed Is etti mated at 150, or one buck for ap proximately every 30 hunters. A total of 3.310 hunters entered the national foreat boundaries this year, according to the census. Prom these figures It Is determined that about one-fourth of thy bucks seen were killed, and hat over one-half of the deer killed hl year were killed durin the first and last weeks of the season. There were about four does to every buck seen In the hills. Little mnrlitiig. It Is believed that there were very few eases of illegal hunting. Seven cases of night shooting elong the Crater Lake highway and "spotlight" activities were reported to state if fleets for Investigation, but no cases were turned over to the state for prosecution. One hundred twenty sis hunting licenses were examined during the season for foreat officers. Deer this season were in good con dition, snd the fawn crop was larfie. Due to the shortage of feed last year when the winter enows fell, several bucks whose carcasses were found were believed to have died of starv ation. On the east side of the Cascades, where elk may be found, the number of these animals la about the same as in the past, there help? little If any Increase noticeable, due to poach ing by residents and legal killing by Indians of the Klamath Indian res ervation. The report urged that a thorough Investigation by the fed eral government be made on the elk i situation In thla forest, to insure the increase of the herd and provide the animals wltlv feed, but stated that unless fed by the government, , the herd increased to any extent would cause so much damage to ranches that elk would become a nuisance. Would Halt Trapping. With a notable decrease In the number of all fur.bearlng animals except beaver, otter and weasel, the forest service bollnves it advisable to take steps toward closing the forest to trapping until the animals have had a chance to Increase. The report Indicates that the num ber of coyotes in the forest Is steadily increasing, especially on the Apple gate district, where there Is a heavy loss of sheep from coyotes. In the Carberry creek area, It Is estimated that this loss in some years becomes as great as one per cent. Coyotes and wildcat In the Klam ath region are responsible for the killing of many ducks and grouse, and have been seen running deer and '.awna. It was reported by residents of the district that 60 per cent of the ducks hatched, and 428 sheep were killed by coyotes this year. The re port recommended that an especial effort be made toward the extermin ation of predatory animals on both the App legate and Klamath districts, especially coyotes, cougar and wild cats. There have been no report made to foreat officials of bear kill ing stock or deer. Many Porcupines, The A pp legate district is overrun with porcupines thla year, according to the census, which are doing con siderable damage to young pine re production. Upland game birds are not found In the national forest In sufficient numbers to make It attractive to bird hunters, although lsrge areas In the mountains are adapted to blue grouse, and most of the bottom lands are suitable for native pheasants and ruffled grouse. Mountain and Cali fornia valley quail are found in lim ited numbers, because ol severe win ter killing and predators. On whst Is known as Klamath Wild Life Refuge, there are found many ducks and geese, but these are cne only migratory watrfowl that Inhabit ' the national forest, eioept a limited number on several of the mountain lakes. The wild life refuge has been pjsted and la hereafter to be closed to all hunting, which will cause a decided Increase of waterfowl in this ! area, as well as an Increase in preds- ! tory animals unless steps are takvn , to exterminate them. Fl.h Nrglerted. Regarding fish, the report says that there has In the past been no sys tematic management plan for stock ing and restocking lakes and streams in the forest, or in securing the bei species adapted to these lakes and streams. The result has been that tome of the lake receive a satisfac tory allotment of fish, some do not receive any and others are depleted. There Is also a lack of means of se curing fish from state and federal hatcher tee. the report says. Only three Ukea in the Applegite district are reported suitable for C&h. and, In these It is recommended that about 2500 eastern brook trout be planted Mtinually. Both Big and Lit t'.e Applegate are badly In need of restocking, but before any sctiifsc tory results can be obtained some adequate method of screening the numejouft umwttoa dltche ouut Pa Oldest Living 'Graduate' Of First Sanatorium RS.
