trout have been planted by the Fish and Game Commission. Some 
of these are being caught. 
~ Above Rock Creek the United States Forest Service has built a 
network of trails, leading to many points of interest. The fishing, 
hunting and scenery in this territory cannot be beat. 
It is an interesting trip, to take the pack trail route to Diamond 
and Crater Lakes. There is an abundance of large game, deer and 
black bear, and the fishing is exceptionally good. It is about 10v 
miles from Roseburg to Crater Lake. 
That part of Douglas County which is drained by the South 
Umpqua and its tributaries, has long been noted for the large number 
of deer it contains. Cow Creek Canyon is a noted place for deer 
hunting. It is reached via the Southern Pacific railroad. Packers 
can be secured at Peck and West Fork stations for the various camp. 
ing places in that vicinity. Upper Cow Creek can be reached from 
Glendale by auto for about twenty-five miles. 
Middle Creek, another favorite hunting ground, can be reached 
by pack horse from West Fork, or wagon or pack horse from Riddle, 
about ten miles from Riddle. 
There is probably no place in Oregon where deer are more plenti- 
ful than in the territory around Tiller. There are “many beautiful 
camping places either along the streams or in the high mountains. 
The headwaters of the streams furnish good fishing for mountain 
trout. In addition to hundreds of deer, a great many bear, cougar, 
bobeats and wolves are killed in this section every year. Tiller is 
located twenty-eight miles from Riddle, a station on the Southern 
Pacific railroad. Auto stage runs from Riddle to Tiller. Hotel accom- 
modations, guides, horses and outfits, can be secured there. 
The deer in Douglas County are nearly all blacktail. There are 
a few whitetails in the vicinity of Roseburg, but they do not inhabit 
the high mountains and are not numerous like the blacktail. In every 
section where I have been the deer seem to be quite plentiful, and 
prospects look good for the nimrod to ‘‘bring home the bacon’? this 
season. 
WHERE TO GO FOR THE SUMMER OUTING 
By WARDEN O. B. PARKER, McMinnville, Oregon 
‘(Where to Go For the Summer’’ number of The Oregon Sports- 
man, I will mention a few of the best camping places for hunting 
and fishing in my district. 
One of the most desirable in every way is the old resort known 
as Meadow Lake; while Meadow Lake itself is a private fishing 
ground, below the lake, the Nestucca River is a splendid fishing 
stream for cut-throat, rainbow, and what is commonly called salmon 
trout. This is an ideal place to take a family for a camping trip as 
it can easily be reached by an automobile. It is situated fifteen 
miles west of Carlton and twenty miles from McMinnville. This 
location is a favorite one with our local sportsmen for both hunting 
and fishing. There are many deer and bear found in the mountains 
near by and hunting for the former is especially good as they are 
quite numerous. 
Another good place which is easily reached by automobile is 
Fairdale on the north fork of the Yamhill River at the foot of the
