Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank Spring is the season of the year when many people go out into the woods to find some of the quiet enjoyment found in past visits. Every year there are a few who, with the best of misguided in tentions, come wandering back out of the woods with fawns they are sure would starve without their good hearted interference. The fact that in most cases the doe is nearby and too timid to show itself doesn't prevent this type of thing from occurring every year. The additional fact that it is illegal to remove animals from their habitat in the wild Is of little importance to the misguided do-gooders. THE BEAR FACTS These thoughts are all brought to mind while read ing the story about the two orphaned bear-cubs in the Applegale area. There are questions which also come to mind. Why would any one want to shoot a bear at this time of the year unless it is doing some harm? The pelt certainly isn't any good and it certainly wouldn't be the best of bearmeat right now. Was the bear left where it was shot or was it put to use in some way? Many of the dog packs in use locally get their exer cise treeing bears which are shot and left where they fall. Do the bear-cub nurses know that they are in viola tion of a game law unless they have a permit to keep the cubs? Do they know thsy have to construct pens of a certain dimension and type in order to get a per mit? Bears can not be kept on a chain while in captiv ity. The bear-killers prob ably didn't realize that shooting one bear would entail so much responsibil ity, but it is hoped that next time they are less trigger happy. FISHERMEN BEWARE . The retriever trials are to be held this Friday through Sunday on the game commis sion's management area 'out by White City. The trials will require the use of several of the ponds, which will close them to fishing for the dura tion of the trials. The area to be used will probably be close to the old military bridge site and fishermen are cautioned to find other fish ing holes in order that the trials can be run off more ef fectively. No more than three ponds will be involved. PHEASANT REPORT The tally of the number of pheasants left over from the 1959 hunting season is reported to be 21.9 -birds per hundred acres. Since the 1959 spring census to tal was 14.6 birds, there is some reason to believe that .1960 may be a banner year for local nimrods. This ex cellent forecast is depend ent upon how well the broods survive the coming months and so far all indi cation's point toward a mild spring. The commission also reports that 384 adult birds released on Tuesday are al ready nesting and will give the carry-over tally quite a boost in number by next fall. NEW IMPORTS Next Monday the game com mission plans to release about 275 European grey part ridges. These birds come from Denmark and have been re leased in the Willamette val ley for several years without success. They will be turned loose from Sams Valley to Im migrant reservoir and perhaps they may take hold and event ually furnish local hunters with some fine hunting. LANDING REPAIRED Salmon fishermen should be interested to learn that the Elk creek landing has been repaired. The take-out has been graded down to about a 12 degree incline to the water. It will be fair ly easy to back a trailer right down to the . water now and those back-bending efforts, of former years will be just a memory. THE ANGLER'S LOG Most fishermen may not realize it but their tackle can be quite lethal in ways not expected. Three sick swans were picked up at Howard Prairie reservoir recently and all were suffering from a se vere case of lead poisoning. Since they had not been shot, two that died were autopsied in order to discover the cause of the symptoms. The answer was found in the stomach con tents, consisting of a variety of fishermen's sinkers! Chetco River Reports vary enough to make it a fairly sure bet that fishing isn't good enough to be worth the drive from here. Klamath River Fish on the California side are few and far between. They are showing in the river but most of those caught are spawners. The Oregon side around Keno and Big Bend dam is produc ing some fairly consistant trout fishing. Night crawlers are the ticket. Rogue River S a t u r d a y marks the opening of salmon season in the upper liver. Tht DeVoss water temperature has been ideal for fish movement and fish are reported to be show ing as high as Whiskey creek. However, the water is muddy in the lower river and chances are it will remain so during the weekend. Smith River About a doz en fish were caught just above tide water right after the last rain. This seems to be the best chance for making a catch, but it doesn't rain very often now. Winciauck River Some fish were caught last week but most of them had empty egg sacks. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The 1960 spring chinook run will probably be in ec cess of 18.000 fish. This con servative estimate is based on the facts of very little disease and no floods to cut down the downstream mi grants four years ago. Since the parent run was 29,000, we can look to the 1960 sea son with some optimism. And this is the best place to do that. GOOD LUCK!

The event, which includes four stakes, will continue through Sunday when the open all-age contention will include.
