The INDEPENDENT, December 2, 2004 Page 21 Ike Says… From page 2 ly hard to approach, especially when they bed in noisy habitat. Also this year there was very lit- tle rain, which is noisy and helps hunters walk right into elk. Rain also helps by making tracks look old, so a hunter can tell new tracks from those made just a day earlier. I noticed some questionable hunter conduct this year, but in- stead of preaching about it, I thought it would be interesting to have a quiz. THE SPORTSMEN QUIZ (1) Proper ways of scouting are? A. Shoot your bull before the season, that way he will be there on opening day. B. Do your scouting at night with a spotlight. C. Use your key to gain ac- cess to locked up areas off limits to those without a key. D. Drive in open areas, walk into locked areas during daylight hours only. (2) What do you do if some- body is parked at the spur road to the clear cut that you wanted to hunt? A. Drive right by them and proceed to hunt the clear cut before they can, even if it’s too dark to see. B. Pull up behind them with your lights on, get out of your rig and slam the doors a couple of times while ask- ing loudly, “Are you going to hunt here?” C. Rev your engine and roost mud as you tear off for somewhere else. D. Leave the area quietly for alternative clear cuts that you have as backup plans. (3) What do you do if some- body is watching a herd with their gun at the ready? A. Quickly find a stump and get ready for a shot before the other guy can. B. Yell, “What are you wait- ing for? Shoot.” C. Keep moving on your way even if it spooks the herd. Probably no bull in the herd anyway. D. Either withdraw immedi- ately or get down and be quiet and wait for the other hunter to dictate your next actions. (4) A timber company has locked up a large area, so you? A. Use your key to gain ac- cess. B. Drive over the rock pile they placed as a temporary gate. C. Sneak in by vehicle by going through a friend’s pasture. D. Walk, bike or horseback into the area. (5) You draw a tag for Eastern Oregon and go on the hunt, when the seasons start here at home you? A. Hunt the first season, too. B. Hunt both seasons, too. C. Hunt both Eastern Ore- gon seasons and both West side seasons. D. Hunt just the season printed on the front of your tag. (6) What do you do if you are hunting and suddenly four bulls are standing in a clear cut in front of you? A. Shoot two bulls. B. Shoot three bulls. C. Shoot all the bulls. D. Shoot just one bull as your tag says you are enti- tled to. So how did you do? Well, if you chose any answer other than D, you need to refine your sportsman skills. It’s sad, but a lot of the wrong answers hap- pened this year. If our sport is to survive, these tactics must stop. Have a happy holiday!
