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.

the dip nets used by fisherman, are
used to reach out and drop over
the kids before they can get up
and run. 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
