Legal bag limit is one buck deer with visible antlers east of the mountains, and one buck deer with at least a forked antler west of the mountains. More Crowding Expected Last year more than 277,000 deer tags were issued; and if the annual trend of past years con- tinues, the number will be in- creased by about 5 percent this coming season. So, if the hunt- er’s favorite hunting area is a little more crowded than usual, he will know he is competing against several thousand more than a year ago. For the shotgun enthusiast, Oct. 1 means chukar and Hungarian partridge, feathered bombshells of the rimrocks, sage and cheat grass ranges. All gunning for these fine upland game birds is confined to eastern Oregon with no seasons scheduled for the west side. The season is a long one, ex tending through Jan. 15, 1967. Bag limits are also liberal this year, with the allowable take of eight birds per day, singly or in the aggregate, 16 in possession. Combination Trips Planned Since chukars, Hungarians and deer live side by side on many eastern Oregon ranges, many hunters will plan combination trips and include 'both shotgun and rifle for the event.
