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
