Summer Survival Of
Blacktail Fawns Seen
By DAN L. EASTMAN
Game Biologist
There is a deer problem in
the Pokegama winter range,
wholly unrelated to antlerless
Seasons, special archery hunts
or a host of other explanations
offered by certain imaginative
individuals. The problem is one
of production and survival of
young, the net increment to the
basic herd that provides .the
harvestable surplus.
The Pokegama blacktailed
deer winter range lies along the
Oregon-California border north
of the Klamath River and ex
tending approximately from Big
Bend west into Jackson County
and contiguous with other relat
ed wintering herds. The current
problem here involves summer
survival of fawns.
In 1959, net fawn survival to
the fall rut peaked at 67 fawns
per 100 does following a low
year of 58 to 100. Since then,
the fawn ratio has been declin
ing. Over the past four years,
the average fawn ratio is near
ly 20 per cent below the pre
vious four years.
What of the biological cause
for the problem? First, the
known potential of blacktailed
deer reproduction would nor
mally exceed 150 fawns per 100
adult does as embryos. The
addition of a substantial num
ber of unbred "jearlings" to the
doe group, following a. year of
high fawn production and sur
vival, would have only slight in
fluence on the net measurable
result in the fall. At any raie,
the best ratio since 1956 of net
survival to the fall from the
potential of better than one to
one has been 67 to 100 in 1959.
Buck ratios have consistently
been one to five or better for
the docs. so. logically, this is not
the problem.
The four-year decline of fawns
coincides with the four unfa
vorable range production years
starting one year previous, 1959
through 1962 which had a simi
lar measurable impact on mule
deer herds. However, mule
deer have responded favorably

Problem
With Bears
HOUSTON IUPI) - Louisiana
State's biggest problem in Sat
urday's Bluebonnet Bowl game
against Baylor will be stopping
an offense that many coaches
say "can't possibly work in col
lege football."
At least they were saying
this until Coach John Bridgers
Bears won seven of 10 games
this season against topflight
competition and came within a
hair of beating the nation's
number one team, Texas.
Bridgers did it with a pro
style offense that has quarter
back Don Trull passing out of
protective pocket, flankers scur
rying hither and yon and a gen
uine Iwo-platoon system.
Trull went on to become the
nation's top passer, breaking
several conference and national
records.
USU. with an identical 73 rec
ord, is expected to ptoy a ball

HERALD AND NEWS,
MAJOR BOWL
this year to the mild winter of
1963 whereas the Pokegama
herd did not.
Barring a host of intangible,
speculative possibilities, there
is one other single situation per
tinent to this area that could
explain the decline. The fall
off in fawn survival coincides
with the lifting of intensive win
ter predator control activities
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, caused partly by the
1961 liberation of fisher north
of Highway 66 and the end of
sheep grazing south of the high
way. In the spring of 1962, a meet
ing, was held in Medford with
major resource groups and
landowners to review the prob-
lem, confirm the value of the
area for recreational hunting
and to ascertain conflicts in re
source management. Obviously,
the area including the vast
summer range of the deer herd
has a high timber value and
direct unreasonable conflict with
this resource would not be jus
tified. Evolving from this meeting,
among other things, was an
agreement for restoration of
winter predator control activi
ties on government lands. This
is being carried out by a gov
ernment trapper this winter and
it is hoped, this will benefit
future summer fawn survival,
and in turn, the sportsmen.
As Hank DeVoss, lledford
sportsman - writer, so aptly put
it last March in reviewing the
meeting, "There are very few
simple problems and fewer sim
ple answer that satisfy the
whole problem." How much
easier it is to lay blame on
"doe-shooting."
Someday, it is hoped more
sportsmen will understand that
a reasonable balance between
forage and deer numbers is
foremost in the game manag
er's mind and if there is gen
eral public defiance to the ap
plication of proper management
tools relating to harvest, then
the immeasurable losses to
predators, disease or. vehicles
are essentially a loss beneficial
for the resource, at the suf
ferance of the sportsmen. On
the other hand, there may be
times and instances in which a
factor limiting the harvestable
deer numbers from year to
year may be partially alleviated
permitting greater potential
abundance for enjoyment. This
goal might well be more vig
orously pursued with a bit of
public understanding and sup
port. Following is fall composition
of Pokegama deer herd with
year, fawns per 100 does, bucks
per 100 does and herd percen
tages of bucks, does and fawns
in that order: 1963. 48, 23. 13

Chin up and head erect, Joe
Pepitone sat there in the dark,
fixed his eyes on the screen
and saw the error of his ways.
When the liglits came up aft
er a special screening of the
1963 World Series Wednesday,
Pepitone purposefully walked
across the room and made his
way over to Ralph Houk, the
Yankees' former manager re
cently elevated to general man
ager. "I didn't watch the last
game," Pepitone dead-panned
to Houk. "How did H come
out?"
Both men laughed because
they knew tlic picture ended
the same way as lite book with
Pcpitone's error leading to a
tie-breaking run that gave the
Dodgers a 2-1 victory and a
four-game sweep of the series.
"I saw the ball this time,"
said Pepitone, one of the six
members of the Yankees to see
the 37-minule color film at
Toots Shor's restaurant, "but I
still didn't catch it."

Winless
Victory
The initial victory of the sea
son. This will be up for grabs at
Areata, Calif., Friday night as
the Oregon Tech Owls face the
Humboldt State Lumberjacks.
Both teams will be seeking
the first triumph of the season
in the first game of two-game
set at Areata.
The Owls of Jim Partlow take
a 0-5 record into the series and
the Lumberjacks are 0-4. Both
teams dropped a pair of con
tests over the past weekend to
Northwest Conference teams.
The Owls were stopped twice
with little difficulty by (lie Pa
cific Badgers and the Lumber
jacks were downed by the Wil
lamette Bearcats at Salem
tw ice the first contest an over
time fray.
The Owls have been working
this week in an attempt to in
crease their offensive potential
which in the first three contests
found three of the starting five
scoring well, but last weekend
the scoring punch limited to the
two smallest men on the club in
5-4 Ralph Anderson and 5-8
Mike G lines.
Against the Badgers last Fri
day and Saturday, Anderson hit
for 12 and 17 points and Glincs
11 and 16.
This lack of overall team
scoring has been the cause of
much concern for the Owl head
man and methods of remedy
ing the situation has been the
prime target in practice ses
sions. Defense has also received a
large portion of time in t h e

improved in the mid-Willamette
Valley but lack of standing wa

management area has slowed
shooting there.
Northeast: Thawing conditions
are opening up more water In
the Grande Ronde Valley and
good-sized numbers of geese and
ducks are using both Cold
Springs and MoKay reservoirs.
Fog and low clouds continue to
improve hunting prospects along
the Columbia River in Umatilla
and Morrow counties. Excellent
hunting conditions are forecast
for special deer season opening
this weekend at Medical Springs
and Shaw Mountain.
Southeast: Fair shooting for
Canada geese is the prospect at

A national reputation works
its magic in various ways.
For New York University, one
of the largest schools in the
world, it is proving a disastrous
weapon. For Davidson, which
has a male enrollment of only
1.000, it's a spur for further
fame. And for Cincinnati, long
accustomed to a place in tho
limelight, it's a matter of ac
cepted routute.
' NYU, rated seventh among
the country's college basketball
teams and considered a good
shot in pro-season polls for the
national championship, fell vic
tim to little Wagner College, 77-
76, in overtime Wednesday night
in one of the major shocks of
the campaign.
' It was merely supposed to be
a tuneup for the Vdlets for next
week's big Los Angeles Clas
sic. It may well mark their
finish as a power.
Davison, for many years an
also-ran in the Southern Con
ference until a second - place
finish last season, continued
its resurgence by routing Fur
man, 69-63. It was the sixth
victory in as many starts for
tlie Wildcats, who squeezed
into a tic for d 0th place in
the latest UPI ratings.
Cincinnati is an old story as
far as success is concerned and
well-used to tlie pressure that
goes hand-ui-hand with recog
nition. The Bearcats, currently
ranked No. 5, ran over Color
ado, 82-64, Wednesday night to
end tlie Buffaloes' home court
winning streak at 28 games.
