Wild Life Groups Launch Antelope Field Program LAKE VIEW Alarmed by the steady decrease in antelope num bers in Oregon, an active field program to determine the causes of such a decline was recently launched through the cooperative efforts of the Oregon Game Com mission, the Oregon Wildlife Re search Unit and the United States Fish and WUdllfe Service. Lake County was selected for the initial study. This area is experiencing a slow decrease in antelope numbers and also contains herds that appear to spend part of each year in either Nevada or California and present a problem that is tri-state In scope. Prom May 13 to May .31 an an telope kid marking project was carried on every day from early morning until late evening on the Hart Mountain National Antelope Betug and the Drake Flat area. The Hart Mountain work was done by Ellis Mason, biologist of the Oregon Game Commission and Bi ologist Oscar V. Deming of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Drake Flat herds claimed the at tention of Cal Glesler of the Ore gon Game Commission and Otto C. Nelson and Edward Hansen of the Oregon Cooperative Wildlife Re search Unit, wbo were working un der the direction of Arthur S. El arsen, leader of the research unit. On both areas, tags were placed on the ears of the antelope kids as a means of future identification and to simplify a study of their movements, mortality and survi val. Anyone finding a carcass with any kind of tag on the ear can be come an active participant in this antelope study by returning the tag to the Hart Mountain Refuge, or Box 150, Lakeview, Oregon. Sports men, ranchers, and others who have occasion to be on the tagging areas are urged to cooperate and report any tags found. The apparent decrease in ante lope is not confined to Oregon but is also prevalent throughout the surrounding states of California, Nevada, and Idaho. In Nevada a kid marking project, similar to the one in effect in Oregon, was car ried out this year by the Nevada Fish and Game Commission and the Sheldon Antelope Refuge. Cal ifornia Fish and Game likewise conducted a kid marking project on areas bordering Nevada and Oregon. It is planned to expand this program in the future. The success of an antelope kid marking project is much on the same order of the old sbeepherd- er's recipe for rabbit stew that be gins with "first you catch your rab bit." For several days after the birth of the kids, which are often twins, the antelope doe keeps them well hidden in the short sagebrush and they can be located by the observers only when she nurses them. This demands that the field men spend long hours locating and watching does that appear to have kids, wait until the kids have nursed and been moved to a new hiding place, then locate and cap ture the kids for marking. Often observations must be made from distances up to a mile so as not to alarm the does and cause them to remain away from the kids. Binoculars and spotting scopes are used for this work, but even then It requires considerable sleuthing to find the kids in the wide expanse of rolling hills where every sage brush looks the same. As the kids are very active and can run when only a few hours old. large long-handled nets, similar to III!. A new erincipla has beee established eftectino ell - - farmer! who ese 2,4-D r 2,4,5-T.

It is an old Oregon In dian adage that a kid one day old can be ciuieht by a man. a kid two days old can be caught by a dog. a kid three days old can be caught by a man on a horse, and i kid four days old can be caught by the devil. By using the nets, the field men consistently caught kids up to a week of age. Aware of the possibility of the does disowning the kids alter they had been handled and ear marked, the field men spent considerable time in watching kids that had been handled and marked and it was found that after an initial sniffing and smelling period, would accept the kids, allow them to nurse, and resume their normal family life. However, It is advisable that ante lope kids and the young of any oth er game animal or bird be left: alone when found as they have not j been abandoned by the mother and j should not be disturbed except for scientific study. ' Kids caught and marked wben , they were several days old would run lor long distances when re- ' leased and it was thought that the does would be unable to locate them. Returning to the spots were such nimble-footed' kids had been marked the previous day. the field . men found that the mother antelope had rounded up her offspring and returned them to the vicinity of where marked. With approximately ten to IS per , cent of the antelope kids marked on the Hart Mountain Refuge and Drake Flat, field men will follow the marked animals through the summer and the coming winter in an elfort to collect information on kid mortality and survival, factors causing kid losses, and seasonal distribution of the herds. The work at Drake Flat will be conducted i by the Oregon Wildlife Research; Unit and the Oregon Game Com- j mission, while the Hart Mountain Refuge work will be done by the ; above agencies and the refuge per-; sonnet under the leadership of New- j ell B. Morgan, refuge manager. ; Similar studies will be carried on in Nevada and California by 8tate and Federal agencies. j T ' I am not "foolin" " when I say I can save "rood risks" money on I Fire and Auto Insurance.
