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!
