2 Oregon Kate Brown., Governor Department of Fish and Wildlife Heppner District Office Highway 74 PO Box 363 Heppner, OR Voice (541) FAX (541) February 8, 2016 Jim Morrell, A&H Chair 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr. SE Salem, OR Dear Mr. Morrell: This letter is in regards to the application for the Heppner Regulated Hunt Area that the Department and the landowners have submitted for your review. I would like to take this opportunity to endorse this project in the hopes that the Board will continue to fund this access area. This proposal will continue to allow public hunting access to 39,624 acres of private lands in the Heppner and Fossil units. The hunt area which was originally established in 1967 continues to be very popular with the public. One hundred and eighteen vehicles were counted on the hunt area on the opening morning of buck season in As more and more private lands in the area continue to convert to fee hunting operations this vestige of private land continues to provide access to the public on a Welcome to Hunt basis. I strongly urge the Board to continue to fund this project. Please feel free to contact me at (541) if you have any questions or concerns on this proposal or on the comments in my letter. Respectfully, Steve Cherry District Wildlife Biologist

5 Form Updated 2/18/14 Provide year-round public hunting recreation on 39,624 acres of private land (5 landowners) by operating a cooperative hunting program. The Heppner Regulated Hunt Area has been in effect for 49 years. The project proposed is to continue in that Welcome to Hunt program. The A&H request is to fund the $2.40 per acre, for five years, for the access payment portion of the project for the seasons. Note: Filing of this application does not guarantee acceptance of the proposal nor any portion thereof. Applicants whose projects are approved by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will be notified by mail. 1. Background: Describe the project area and explain the wildlife habitat and/or access challenge or opportunity this project will address. Address how current management actions benefit public access and/or wildlife and their habitat needs. Access These properties are very heavily used by the hunting public and have the highest deer hunter densities in the Heppner Unit. In addition, they have the highest total upland bird hunter use in the Heppner Area. In 2015 the Heppner RHA provided access to an estimated 872 hunters totaling 3,725 use days. While this is primarily comprised of big game and upland bird hunting, it also includes fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing opportunities. In a unit that has suffered dramatic public access declines in recent years, the Heppner RHA, although diminished in total size, remains attractive to a variety of hunters. This is a request to fund the access payment of $2.40 per acre for a five year period. Habitat The Heppner RHA is currently comprised of 39,624 acres, most of which lies along the foothills of the Blue Mountains near Heppner. It serves as very important winter range for both deer and elk, but also contains some valuable summer and transitional range. It provides habitat for pheasant, Hungarian partridge, chukar, quail, blue and ruffed grouse, turkey, mourning dove, and antelope. A variety of typical nongame species are also resident in this area. All of the RHA properties are working ranches. As such, the Department works cooperatively with all of these landowners to maintain and improve habitat including completing 80 acres of habitat seeding in the last three years to improve upland bird and big game habitat in decadent stands of CRP. By operating a year-round road closure program on these properties winter habitat is improved and big game is not disturbed during this critical time. 2. Past A&H History: (Describe any past Access & Habitat project, especially if the proposed project deals with the same objectives.) The Heppner Regulated Hunt Area has been open to the public for hunting since Since that time the area has changed in size and shape, but has provided Welcome to Hunt access continually since its origination. The Access and Habitat program has been providing funding to the area since 1995.

6 Form Updated 2/18/14 3. Project Objective(s): (a) What is the objective of the proposed project? 1. To maintain Welcome to Hunt public recreation on 39,624 acres of private land in the Heppner area. 2. To implement a motorized travel regulation program on RHA properties. This will positively affect elk and deer distribution and will continue to reduce big game damage on neighboring properties. The travel management program is insisted upon by participating landowners and is highly favored by hunters. (b) How will the project benefit wildlife habitat? The project will benefit wildlife habitat by utilizing an active road closure program that will improve available habitat and optimize big game distribution in the Heppner Unit. In addition, the cooperative nature of this program allows excellent opportunity for landowners and Department personnel to work cooperatively on habitat improvement projects. ODFW and the local SWCD worked with several of the landowners over the last three years to complete 80 acres of habitat seeding to improve upland bird and big game habitat in decadent stands of CRP. (c) Select species that will benefit from habitat improvements: Big Game Upland Bird Migratory Game Bird Deer Chukar Ducks Elk Mountain Quail Geese Bear Valley Quail American Coot Cougar Pheasants Wilsons Snipe Pronghorn Forest Grouse Mourning Dove Bighorn Sheep Turkey Band Tailed Pigeon Mountain Goat Gray Partridge Sage Grouse (d) Length of time benefits provided <3yr 3-6yr X >6yr x Examples of Project Benefit Duration Noxious weed...2yrs Forage planting...5yrs Aspen fencing...10yrs Range fertilization 2yrs Forest thinning 5yrs Aspen plant/fence..10yrs Rx Fire-grassland..2yrs Aspen (conifer removal).5yrs Road closure..10yrs Rx Fire-forested 3yrs Juniper removal...7yrs Road decommission...10yrs Fence Removal 10yrs Water Dev./Enhancement..10yrs (Source: Blue Mountains Elk Initiative Project Evaluation Criteria) (e) How will the project benefit public access? If limited access, how many hunters will be permitted?

7 Form Updated 2/18/14 Public hunting access has continually been reduced in recent years in the Heppner area by private landowners primarily through the increase of fee-hunting operations. This project maintains a substantial acreage of private land for no-charge public hunting/recreation use. The access is on a Welcome to Hunt basis and is open year round. (f) Select species for which public access will provided: Big Game Upland Bird Migratory Game Bird Deer Chukar Ducks Elk Mountain Quail Geese Bear Valley Quail American Coot Cougar Pheasants Wilsons Snipe Pronghorn Forest Grouse Mourning Dove Bighorn Sheep Turkey Band Tailed Pigeon Mountain Goat Gray Partridge Sage Grouse Other: Coyote (g) If damage related, how will the project alleviate/eliminate the problem? The Heppner RHA is open year round and the public access and disturbance helps keep large numbers of big game animals (primarily elk) from concentrating on the properties. While there are still lots of deer and elk on the properties the increased disturbance keeps numbers at a more manageable level for the landowners and helps alleviate some of the damage on the RHA. 4. Project Location: (Attach a map and provide description of the location and how to get there from a major highway.) The project begins approximately 2 miles SE of Heppner and continues upslope for many miles to the forest. Access is provided from several public roads and highways. See attached map. 5. Procedure: Specifically describe how the project will be conducted--use separate page for additional information, drawings, or pictures. Heppner RHA activities will be conducted year round with posting and patrolling occurring mostly during the fall hunting seasons. However as the area is open year round patrolling, posting and project administration occur throughout all months of the year. 6. Permits: Have all of the appropriate permits been secured or applied for? (Examples: Water Resources Department for water rights, Division of State Lands for fill-removal or wetlands projects). There are no permits necessary for this project.

8 Form Updated 2/18/14 7. Scheduling: What is the estimated project schedule?
