Agents Battle Weather To Study Big Game Herds
To big game hunters the
hunting seasons may be over
for the year, but to game bi
ologists in all game districts
of the state, the hunting sea
son for them is just getting
underway.
For winter is the time of
the year when these game
agents travel far and wide
inventorying Oregon's big
game herds. It's an annual
task that begins shortly after
the hunting seasons and con
tinues through the winter
into March and April.
First phase of the big game
inventories is herd composi
tion studies to determine the
ratio of bucks, does and
fawns on each range. Game
biologists begin gathering
herd composition information
immediately after the hunt
ing seasons close when they
make a systematic survey of
all big game ranges. All ani
mals observed are classified
as to sex and age and ex
pressed in a ratio of the num
ber of bucks or bulls, fawns
or calves per 100 adult fe
males.
Before Antlers Shed -
Herd composition must be
completed before buck
deer or bull elk shed
i their antlers. By mld-Janu-
ary, herd composition on deer
! is no longer feasible as bucks
rapidly shed their antlers,
t Elk often retain their antlers
as late as March before the
massive beams are dropped
and new growth begins.
Surveys are made on foot,
by automobile, horseback and
on some ranges by airplane.
Almost without exception,
surveys on antelope are made
from the air, preferably when
snow is on the ground. At this
time the pronghorns are
bunched on the winter ranges
in the short sage country.
Aerial observations at this
time are quick, easy and accurate.
Some elk herds are also
cheeked by airplane, especial
ly In rough mountain coun
try which prohibits other
means of travel. Deer ranges
are traveled primarily by
horseback, although on some
ranges, depending on snow
depth, sample routes are run
by automobile as well as foot
travel by snowshoe.
No Deterrent
Weather is no deterrent,
and the game agents must tra
vel in rain, snow, wind and
cold it the condition of big
game herds is to be accurate
ly determined. Throughout
the winter months game
agents hunt out the animals,
watch them as they go
through the winter, study
food supplies, keep a critical
eye on animal condition, re
cord mortality, sex and age
and the number of animals
observed on each range.
Herd composition does not
complete the winter surveys.
About the first of February,
game agents start all over
again, this time to count ani
mal numbers on each big
game range. Observations
continue until the herds dis
band with the spring break
up. Herd composition may be
conducted throughout the ani
mals' range and at all eleva
tions. But the annual census
is confined more or less to
the winter ranges at lower
elevations. !
During late winter, snows j
arc deep on the mountain i
ranges, forcing big game ani- j
mals ever downward to the
breaks and scablands near i
the valley floors. Animals
from an entire watershed cov
ering thousands of square !
miles nicy be forced by the
snow and cold into a narrow
belt a few miles long by a
mile or so wide. Heaviest con-.
ccntrations of animals will
be found In the food produc-'
ing areas of these narrow
belts.
Critical Tim
This is the critical time of
the year and the time game
agents dread the most. If the
winter is long and severe,
they will witness first hand
many animals dying from
cold and hunger. This is little
to worry about during mild
winters, broken by periods of
thawing and sunshine. Dur
ing such winters animals re
main scattered at all eleva-
Shrne Hospitals To
Treat Fire Victims
Mobile. Ala. - UTti - George
M. Klcpper, imperial poten
tate of the Shnne of North
America, said Wednesday tiis
organization plans to con
struct three hospitals for the
exclusive treatment of chil
dren burned in fires.
"These hospitals will treat
burned children under IS
years of age without regard
to race, creed or color," Klcp
, per said. "They will be the
first civilian hospitals estab
lished in this country tor such
treatment."
GIVES PARKING PRESENT
South Kingston. R. I. -1 PI' -The
police department has
presented shoppers here with
a Christmas present free
parking until Jan. 1. Patrol
men Wednesday covered park
ing meters with cloth hoods
marked "Merry Christmas." I
tions of the winter range and
manage to find enough food
to remain healthy and alert.
But hunger is the driving
force when snow piles deep
or temperatures skid to sub
zero levels. Winter ranges
produce only a limited sup
ply of food, and when much
of this is buried beneath
deep snow, competition is
keen for the meager supplies
that remain.
Under such conditions
many animals may starve be
fore spring, with fawns the
first to go followed by old
animals and yearlings. Ex
treme cold may also take its
toll, mainly of weakened ani
mals unable from the meager
food supplies to generate
body heat to withstand the
frigid temperatures.
Permanent Routes
Permanent sample routes
are followed on all big game
winter ranges. Small winter
ranges may have only two or
three routes, while large
ranges may have a dozen or
more traversing at intervals
from low to high elevations.
These routes are traveled
systematically year after
year. All animals observed
are recorded and expressed
in the ratio of animals ob
served per mile of travel.
Mortality is also recorded and
expressed in the same
manner.
Records on all ranges are
kept year after year and com
parisons are made to deter
mine if the herds are increas
ing, decreasing or remaining
constant. More than 7,000
miles of sample routes are
traveled by game agents each
year to determine big game
population trends.
Winter surveys give an ac
curate picture of population
trends, numbers of buck deer
or bull elk in each herd, fawn
or calf production, mortali
ties, range conditions, and
food supplies. This and other
information gathered around
the calendar serve as a basis
for the following year's hunt
ing seasons.
1,582 Scholarships Awarded al U of 0
Eugene - There have been
1,582 scholarships awarded at
the University of Oregon for
the 1962-63 school year, total
ing $508,076, the university
scholarship committee has an
nounced. In addition, the committee
estimated about 300 scholar
ships totaling $30,000 were
awarded directly to university
students.
The 1962-63 figures include
remission of out-of-state fees
of $330 each to 231 students
from Alaska and Hawaii,
totaling $76,230. In previous
years these students were not
included in scholarship totals.
Minus the Alaska and Ha
waii students, the committee
estimates 1,651 students re
ceived scholarships, totaling
$461,846. This compares to
1,524 scholarships totaling
$334,376 awarded to univer
sity students in the 1961-62
school year.
