GrOuSe and Deer
Season Will Open
Aug. Is This Year
NEW LAW MAKES GROUSE
SHOOTING START EARLIER
DEER HUNTING LATER.

Among local sportsmen there is
some confusion regarding the game
laws this year owing TO the fact
some changes were made by the last
legislature and the information has
not been dessiminated very thorough
ly.
The following extracts are from the
new law relating to the eastern Ore
gon district.
(k) Game animals-Deer with
horns. open season from Angus Is to
October 81 of each year Bag limit,
of such deer, three during any one
season.
Coz Blue or sooty grouse, ruffled
grouse or native pheasants, open sea.
sen from August Is to October 81 OF
each year Bag limit, five of any or
all such birds during any one day or
10 in seven consecutive days.
It will be seen from the foregoing
that under the new law the grouse
season opens two weeks earlier than
heretofore and the deer season opens
two weeks later than under the for
mer law.
