HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1955 Oregon Deer Season Opens Saturday; Marks Expected PORTLAND WV A new record deer kill probably will be made by Oregon hunters this year to set another national mark. The statewide buck deer season opens next Saturday and the State Came Commission says possibly 225,000 hunters will be fanning out over the countryside. That would be an increase of 10,000 over the number last year who brought home 112,000 deer for the highest kill in the nation. The buck deer season for mule. blacktail and whltetall deer ex tends through Oct'. 14. Next day an either sex season opens and runs through the 21st in Eastern and Western Oregon areas. This year. for the first time, an either sex season Is scheduled In the Metol ius River area, Oct. 18-21 inclu sive. The Tillamook archery area sea son coincides with the regular buck season By far the biggest kill each year is of mule deer, the most popular oi uie uuee uregon spe cies with hunters. It lives hi the - pine forests and sagebrush deserts east of the Cascade Mountains. In creasing numbers have made pos sible large annual harvests and have helped to make Oregon hunt ers among the. most successful in the nation.

B ih. bitterbrush And its consumption as teea is heavy in the winter, The nimble-footed blacktail deer, found only on the Pacific slope. lives in cut-over and burned areas of Western Oregon where feed Is abundant. While difficult to hunt in its favorite brushy habitat, the blacktail is a preferred meat ani mal to many hunters. PEL.ICIOUS The blacktail Is often in trouble with farmers of the Willamette Valley, where agricultural crops provide a delicious meal. The easily identified whitetail deer, best known to Eastern hunt ers. Is seldom bagged by the aver age Oregon nlmrod. It is most numerous in the Roseburg area where, until a year ago, a refuge was located. The refuge, like all others for big game In the state, was abolished by the last Legis lature. Besides its white tail, forward- curving antlers with points raising from the main beam distinguish it irom otner deer, Its favorite haunts are scrub oak thickets and brushy lowlands of Western Oregon, though occasional animals are seen on the east slopes of Mt. Hood and- in other parts east of the cascade summit Closely following the deer season Is the one for elk. opening Oct. 29. In Northeastern Oregon the sea son continues through Nov. 23 for a kill of one bull elk with antlers. The same dates apply to the sea son In Southeastern Oregon, but there an elk of either sex may be taken. SCHEDULED Similar dates are scheduled for the Cascade area for killing a bull elk with three points or more on one antler. The coastal area sea son runs from Oct. 29 through Nov, 13 for a kilt the same as that in the Cascade region. Oregon has two species of elk. the Rocky Mountain, which inhabit the Blue and Wallowa mountains of Northeastern Oregon, and the Roosevelt, which prefer open burned-over and logged-off areas of Western Oregon., Lodgepole pine thickets and mountain meadows provide shelter and lood during the summer for the Rocky Mountain elk. When deep snow forces them down, they seek canyons and hillsides at low er elevations. Rocky Mountain elk generally are smaller and lighter colored than Roosevelt elk. Antlers of the bulls usually have a greater spread but are less massive. They are considered a price trophy by the hunter, who must use great skill in bagging Rocky Mountains. Roosevelt elk. sometimes called Olympic, are most numerous in the Coast range, but some trans plants have been made to the Cas cades whre they have mixed with the Rocky Mountain species Already completed is the season for pronghorn antelope which are found In several large herds In the sagebrush sections of Malheur. Harney and parts of Lake, Crook and Deschutes counties. SAGEBRUSH They feed on sagebrush, which Is plentiful, and are famous for their speed, frequently choosing to race automobiles on highways crossing the range. The antelope Is distinctively marked with a cinnamon-buff body, contrasting black and white mark ings on the head and a large white rump patch. The buck has longer and heavier horns than the female and both sexes shed their horns each year. Oregon has no open season on Its few bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goats, but the Game Commission says it hopes to some day build up big enough herds to permit hunting them. A herd of about 35 California bighorn sheep live in a national refuge on the west slope of Hart Mountain In Lake County, Trapped in British Columbia in 1954, the California bighorn is similar in appearance to the Rocky Moun tain sheep, though the horns are less massive. Oame commission ers plan to build observation points in the refuge so visitors may watch the bighorns. Five Rocky Mountain goats, nev er native to Oregon, were trans plated in I960 from Washington state to the Wallowa mountains in Northeastern Oregon. The three males and two females headed for high places and have since been seen only a few times by moun tain climbers and high lakes fisher men. Oame agents report that at least one young goats Is now with the band. IAST NIGHT By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOLYOKE. Mass.
