  • High Desert Region Deer and Elk DEER Mid-Columbia District
    High Desert Region Deer and Elk DEER Mid-Columbia District (Hood, White River, Maupin, West Biggs) The West Biggs Unit has good numbers of deer and a strong component of mature bucks. Much of the unit is private. The Deschutes and John Day canyons are great public places to find weary bucks, especially later in the season. The Maupin Unit has great buck ratios and should provide good opportunities at older bucks for those hunters with access to private lands. There is some limited public access within the Deschutes canyon. Having a good map to ensure you know where you are is essentiall. Buck numbers in the White River are on the rebound, and good recruitment over the past couple years should continue to increase hunter success. For the best chance at harvesting a mature buck, hunters should expect to get away from roads and focus on higher elevation habitats. Hunters headed for the Hood unit should pay close attention to fire restrictions. Last year, most of the private timber companies in the valley closed their lands due to extreme fire conditions, and this summer may be even worse if fall rains are delayed. Finding open areas with good browse is key to hunter success. Deer activity is typically highest during first and last light. DEER MIGRATION STUDY: ODFW is conducting a buck deer study in the southern portion of the White River Unit to improve its knowledge of local deer herds. ODFW would appreciate if hunters could report any sightings of these deer. Radio-collared deer in this unit are legal to shoot but return collar and identify location of the kill to The Dalles District office (3701 W 13th Street, The Dalles, OR 97058, tel.

    MARKERS AND MONUMENTS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH List Gathered and Prepared by Daughters of Utah Pioneers (2010) The Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) is committed to preserving the heritage of our Pioneer ancestors who settled in Washington County, Utah. Part of preserving that heritage is in identifying historical locations and activities of those early settlers. The DUP has actively participated, along with many other groups, in establishing monuments and/or plaques designating specific communities, people, buildings, etc. This list has been compiled from up-dated information gathered during two Eagle Scout Projects, from data received from other organizations, and from various websites. It is not expected to be a final project, but is intended to be complete enough that it can be added to, or corrected as necessary, to become a comprehensive and current listing of all the wonderful monuments available for descendants as well as visitors to the area to see and enjoy, and to remember the legacy left to us in providing this beautiful area called “Dixie”.
