PETITIONS ASK
THAT REFUGE
RE
UNCLOSED
Petition! voicing oppoMtlon to
opening the mulo deer refugo to
buck shooting were forwarded to
the state same commission Thurs
day by Interested Klamath sports
men. Tnejr carried 7UJ names.
With them went a letter ex.
plaining the atand of the sports
men and discussing me coniro
verslal mule deer feed question,
It follows:
"Enclosed herewith find 11 pe
titions signed by approximately
703 sportsmen of Klamath county,
Ore., and vicinity, urging you not
to open the mule deer reserre In
Klamath and Lake counties. The
undersigned acting as commit
tee for the sportsmen had these
petitions prepared. They have
only been available to the sports
men for one week, from August J
to August 10, and we wish to call
your attention to the fact that
they were not circulated on the
streets, but were only placed In
the gun stores and other places
where sportsmen gather. We
mention this so that you will un
derstand that the petitions repre
aont the views and wishes of men
who know the game conditions
here. In order to get a more
complete expression from the
sportsmen we would haTe pre
ferred to leave the petitions In
the gun stores for at least 30
days, but the time Is limited and
we are forwarding them now.
We are satisfied that the petitions
would hare been signed by almost
every sportsman In this vicinity
had time permitted.
"On behalf of these sportsmen
we urge that you do not open this
reserve. There Is one thing that
all will agree upon, and that Is
that there Is not an excess of
bucks In the Gearhart region.
There may be some problems that
have to be met in connection
with the deer situation In north
ern California, but we are not go
ing to solve them by killing off
what few remaining bucks there
are In the Gearhart country. If
you throw open this reserve to the
army of hunters that will pour
Into It from all up and down the
Pacific coast you will exterminate
these bucks In very short order,
particularly In view of the fact
that the deer are hunted on the
migrating runways.
"With regard to the northern
California deer conditions, we feel
that there has been a great deal
of exaggeration mixed up with a
few facts. We should not take
hasty action, bnt should study the
conditions and meet them slowly
and surely in a way that will be
fair to the wildlife Involved. In
the first place. If you will visit
the winter habitat of these north
ern deer you will see that It cov
ers a very large area. It extends
from the Goose lake rim on the
east to the lava beds on the west,
and if you do not believe this Is
a large area drive over It and
hunt over It.
"In ordinary winters most of
these deer winter around the California-Oregon
Una and In the
vicinity of Blue mountain, which
is a few miles south of the line.
It an unusually hard winter comes
then some of these deer begin to
drift down into the Doublehead
country south of Clear lake and
from there on down to the cross
ing at George Courtrlgbt's ranch ;
north of Dry lake, it Is at this
point that there Is a real menace
to the deer. We all know that
when these mule deer travel they
use the same trails year after i
year. It happens that there Is one
of these trails coming from the
east that crosses directly on the
present site of the ranch buildings
of Mr. Courtright's ranch.
"In recent years the railroad
and the new highway have been
constructed Immediately adjacent
to each other at this point. There
fore xn will see that there are
four sets of wire right of way
fences, a railroad and a highway,
and the traffic Incidental thereto

their crossing at this place. The
result has been that there have
been a great many deer stampeded
and killed. Furthermore, Mr.
Courtright Is attempting to farm
there, and he has been greatly
damaged by these deer on his
fields. He has had to go to heavy
expense herding the deer off his
fields. But the striking feature
of the whole matter Is that Mr.
Courtright Is not bitter against
the deer, as most ranchers would
be.
"He does not want them killed

off, as some people are suggesting.
He Is a true conservationist and a
friend of the deer. He does feel,
and rightly, that he Individually
should not have to carry the loss
these deer are causing him. It
should be borno by the sportsmen
and those branches of our state
and federal governments that
have to do with the conservation
of our wild life.
: "It would seem to the under
signed with all the billions of
dollars our government Is spend
ing on every conceivable kind of
a project, that there would be
some way to place a little of the
money on a cause such as this.
Furthermore, we think we are
an to In saying that tho sportsmen
as a body are about as liberal a
group of men as you will find,
and that they would not object to
an additional llronse charge If It
beenmo necessary to meet such a
altitiition.
"liocently there has unfortun
ately been a tire In the lava beds,
extending from Tula lake for a
certain distance south and east.
There will be many exaggerated
reports Issue as to the daniage
this will do to the doer In their
winter feeding, hut If you will
travel down the west side of Title
lnke and then continue throiiKh
the Lava Bed Monument park to
the country west of Dry lake, and
then go east to the highway mid
then back north on tho highway,
you will see Hint this Is a large
area and that only a very small
part of It has been affected by the
fire. There are still miles and
miles of this country untouched
for winter grating.
"We have attempted to cover
briefly the northern California
deer conditions because we under
stand that It Is from this source
that the pressure Is coming to
open the Klamath-Lnke counties
reerve.
"Again we urge that the bucks
are already greatly thinned out In
the Gearhart area, and to throw
open this reserve and further de
plete the bucks would not In any
way solve the Cnlltornla prob
lem. "On behalf of the sportsmen
who signed tho within petitions
we respectfully ask that you grant
their request and not opcu the
reserve.
