ODF&W biologists, they point-
ed out that the two fish bag is
hoped to provide fishermen the
chance to keep mortally
wounded fish while practicing
catch and release.
Talking about rivers, it is
worth noting that our dry spring
is definitely reflected in river
levels. The level of the Ne-
halem, as of May 26, was less
than half of the historic average
for that date. As we start sum-
mer, we are, once again, look-
ing at very low water condi-
tions. The City of Vernonia is
well prepared to gauge stream
levels this year and water cur-
tailment should go smoothly, if
it is needed.
There is a proposal by
ODF&W staff to reduce antler-
less deer harvest in the North
Coast units by 50 percent, a re-
sult of finally recognizing the
decline in deer numbers in
North Coast units. While many
of us think that ODF&W should
suspend all antlerless deer
hunting immediately, this pro-
posal is a step in the right direc-
tion. I would expect that, as the
deer population continues to
decline, antlerless deer tags
will continue to be cut. I have
not seen a fawn yet this year,
but as you read this article they
should be hitting the ground.
I haven’t seen many deer
this year on my travels back
and forth to work, either, and
those I have seen have usually
been road kills. At least one of
these deer fought back a little
as I observed a large piece of
the car lying beside the dead
deer. Please be careful the next
two months, especially if the
weather continues to be dry,
since female deer seem to go
to the bigger streams for water
and, of course, newborn fawns
are not road-wise. Over the
years I have noticed that deer
