If/^" Vacation Land — The National Forests in Oregon 



A new regulation has recently been approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, 

 which provides: 



"The going or being upon any land of the United States, or in or on the waters 

 thereof, within a National Forest, with intent to hunt, catch, trap, willfully disturb 

 or kill any kind of game animal, game or nongame bird or fish, or to take the 

 eggs of any such bird, in violation of the laws of the State in which such land or 

 waters are situated is hereby prohibited." 



There is effective cooperation in the administration of the Oregon game laws. 

 An agreement is in effect between the Fish and Game Commission, the Oregon State 

 Board of Forestry, and the Federal Forest Service for the purpose of coordinating 

 these departments in the protection of game, fish, birds, and forests. The Federal 

 Forest Service, by reason of its organization and distribution of officers and men 

 and their familiarity with mountain regions and forest streams throughout the State, 

 has assumed full charge and expense of the distribution of fish from railroad points 

 within territory adjacent to and administered by the Forest Service. Annual re- 

 ports are to be filed showing the results of such stocking of lakes and streams. 



Under the terms of this agreement it is the duty of all forest officers of the State 

 and Federal Forest Service to cooperate in game protection, and by personal action 

 and attitude assist in creating public sentiment for enforcement of the laws for the 

 protection of game, and under the new regulation it is now the duty of all forest 

 officers to prosecute vigorously in the Federal courts all game violations which occur 

 on National Forest lands. 



It is the duty of all officers of the State Fish and Game Department to extin- 

 guish any small fires they may discover, both inside and outside the National Forests 

 throughout the State. All fires discovered by them, whether they extinguish them 

 or not, are to be reported at once to the nearest United States Forest officer, if on or 

 contiguous to National Forests, or to the nearest fire warden if outside National 

 Forests. 



HANDLING KILLED DEER 



There are several ways of carrying a deer after killing. The following method 

 is one used by a great many experienced hunters: After removing entrails, cut the 

 skin around the legs close to the hoofs below the dewclaws, then split the skin of 

 the leg to above the knee joint. Cut legs off at knee joint and skin out, then tie 

 skin of legs together by tying skin of right foreleg to skin of left hind leg and vice
