Oregon hunters who wish to be
eligible for emergency big game
hunts which may be scheduled in
1966 have until January 15 to sub
mit applications.
Dave Luman, chief of big game
said hunt *s wishing to sign up
should submit their applications by

Portland headquarters, 1634 S. W.
Alder.
Emergency hunts are established
to control crop damage which may
occur at any time of the year.
Since it is impossible to predict
in advance where and when crop
dam age may occur, county listings
of applicants must be established
at the first of each year.
Any resident 18 years of age or
older may apply. A hunting license
and tag are not needed in order
to apply, but will be necessary if
a hunt is called. Hunters are re
minded that if a season is auth
orized, they will be called to par
ticipate on short notice.
Luman advised hunters that the
chance to participate in an em er
gency hunt is small, but to have
that chance if it does arise, the
hunter must have his name on
the county roster. Since 1957 when
emergency seasons were author
ized by the Oregon legislature, on
ly a few such hunts have been
held.
