Connection Emphasized
The direct connection be

ed by Bowles, who told the
crowd Oregon was not going
to have any more fawns than
the ground crop would sup
port. "The worst thing we could
do for you hunters," he said,
"would be to permit deer
herds to grow beyond the ca
pacity of the range,"
In closing the hearing,
Bowles took time to explain
HB 15S1 which is concerned
with the sale of state land to
the Fish and Wildlife service
for the establishment of bird
refuges. It conditions permis
sion tor the government to
acquire state land upon prior
written approval of the gov
crning body of the county in
which the refuge is to be lo
cated. Bowles described the
bill as a reaction to plana to
establish a water fowl refuge

Belongs to All Peoplt
Bowles was trying to ex
plain to a dissident hunter
from Grants Pass that the
game commission has to re
member that the game be

state, not just to the people
who buy hunting licenses.
And that all the people do not

ciation, and Robert Haworth,
Medford parks and recreation
director, will participate in
sessions at the Northwest Dis
trict Recreation and Parks
conference of the National
Recreation association in Eu
gene April 21 through 24.

worth will be in the session
on youth center programs.
More than 600 persons from
Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Ore
gon, Washington, Alberta,
British Columbia and Sas
katchewan plan to participate
in the annual meeting.
Young's complaint that the
commission listens to other
minorities (why not to the
sportsmen), Bowles declared
that in the five years he has
been on the commission no
one has come before the com
mission without being heard.
"There are M million peo
ple in Oregon," Bowles added,
"just 263,000 of them held
deer tags last year."
First To Ttstify
First to testify at the meet
ing was Brian Mercer of Med
ford, who asked that the sea
son and bag limits for archers
not be curtailed. The archers
take just one half of 1 per
cent of the big game harvest,
Mercer said.
A different opinion on the
archery season was voiced by
William Doernbach of Med
ford. representing the Oregon
Sportsmen's club of Jackson
county. Make the archery sea
son the same as the other
hunting season, he suggested,
adding that the archers har
rass the game and flush the
elk and deer out of their usual
places before the regular hunt
ing season opens.

complained. "There is too
much livstock on the range."
A still stronger opinion, re
garding the infractions of live
stock, was heard from Ken
neth R. Buxton, Medford. "I
believe deer and elk should
have preference over cattle."
he declared. "The hunters
contribute more money to the
state than grazing fees do."
Otto Hcckert of Jackson
ville maintained that the deer
are just about at the "end of
the trail" in his pica for elim
inating the doe season. He
called for the show of hands
which was later recorded to
show the majority agreed
with him. His statements
were given loud applause in
the overcrowded auditorium.
Answering references to the
diminishing antelope herds in
Oregon, now nearing extinc
tion, Bowles pointed out that
there have been no doe ante
lope permits issued in Oregon.
Not Short of Don
"It's fawns, not docs we're
short of," Don Garner of
Medford volunteered. "Where
did they go?" he asked. "The
doe hunters didn't get them,
they couldn't hit a fawn. If
you fellows would get out of
your cars and go into the
brush, you'd find deer," he
added, intimating that cars
are responsible for the short
age. He said he had hunted
for years, and had hunted
when venison was the only
meat he had to eat.
Traffic was also blamed for
a great loss of deer, when
Wayne Turpin of Medford
testified. He referred particu
larly to the interstate herds.
Bill Brewster of Central
Point called for a more com
prehensive method of count
ing deer but described hunt
ing here "as great."
Bowles answered that no
herd in the United States has
had more study devoted to it
than the interstate deer herd
moving between California
and Oregon. The count used
is the one devised by Oregon
Stale university, Bowles ex
plained.
Never Killed a Deer
Joe R. Hosick of Medford
opened his testimony with the
statement that he had never
killed a deer, then gave his
explanation of the shortage.
There were 77,659 deer killed
in Oregon in 1952 and 131,
638 in 1962, he said. He advo
cated issuing a doe tag one
year and a buck tag the next.
Hank DcVoss of Talent,
speaking for the Jackson
county chapter of the Izaak
Walton League, asked that the
present form of big game
management be continued,
based on biological research
by trained personnel.
