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.

By far the biggest kill each
year is of mule deer, the most
popular oi uie uuee uregon spe

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.

Cardinals Hire Lane,
Give Walker Release
NEW YORK (AP) - Frank Lane
is in as general manager of the St.
Louis Cardinals and Harry Walker
is out as field manager of the Red
birds. Eddie Stanley, who Walker suc
ceeded as St. Louis manager last
May, may be back bi baseball as
manager of the Minneapolis Mill
ers, farm club of the New York
Giants in the American Assn.
These choice items were learned
last night as the baseball folks
gathered at World Series head
quarters on the even of the opening
game at Yankee Stadium.
At least one proposed deal fell
through. Paul Richards' plan to
step down as manager of the Balti
more Orioles and name George
Kell of the Chicago White Sox as
his succesor was vetoed by the
Baltimore board of directors. The
board insisted that Richards live
up to his three-year contract call
ing for the dual role as ileld and
general manager.
Lane, who resigned as White Sox
general manger last week, already
has conferred with Dick Meyer,
executive vice president of the
Cardinals. They were to meet
again either today or tomorrow
when the signing is to take place
and an official announcement will
be made. Lane's salary is to be
$50,000 a year for three years with
the understanding that he is to
have a free hand in running the
club.
The informant said that Lane al
ready has a successor to Walker in
mind but would not identify him
other than to say that he is "class
guy."
