18 - Kirk Park Unit The eastern 2/3 of the Kirk Park unit was added as part of Fern Ridge Wildlife Area in 2009 during the re-license process with the Corps of Engineers. Beginning with the hunting season, a permit requirement was implemented for the huntable portions of the Kirk Park unit to get a better understanding of hunting activity in this unit. A hunter checkstation was installed at the East Kirk parking lot and free daily self-service hunt permits were stocked throughout the season. Hunting is allowed only in the eastern (wildlife habitat) portion of the Kirk Park unit. The western 1/3 of the unit is deveoped park land with mowed grounds, picnic tables, and courtesy fishing piers. Hunting and the discharge of firearms is prohibited in the designated park areas and along Clear Lake Road adjacent to Kirk pond. Concurrent with duck season dates, hunting is limited to Saturdays, Sundays, Wednesdays and holidays. The entire unit is closed to goose hunting except for the two week September Canada goose season.

19 2014 SEPTEMBER YOUTH UPLAND BIRD HUNT and WESTERN OREGON FEE PHEASANT HUNT PROGRAM The 25th annual Western Oregon Fee Pheasant Hunt program at Fern Ridge Wildlife Area from Sept 15 Oct 8 resulted in a monthly total of 1248 hunter trips to harvest 632 pheasants. Birds were stocked throughout the season; however the department did not post stocking schedules again this year for the hunt. Pheasants were supplied by Mortenson s Game Farm in Caldwell, Idaho. The pheasants again this year were of excellent stock and demonstrated the elusive and wary tendencies of their wild kin. Gary Wills handled all details of administering the hunt including unloading, loading, tending, and release of pheasants, and stocking, retrieving, and recording data from hunt permits. Field conditions were excellent for the majority of the season as dry weather prevailed. Sporadic rains throughout the second half of the hunt created some environmental challenges for hunter and quarry alike. Hunt tag costs remained at $17.00 for the two bird permits. 18

23 Fern Ridge Wildlife Area East and West Coyote Units Hunt Season Hunt Blind Layout SEASON: A total of 125 acres of food crops were planted for wildlife consisting of 33 ac. of corn, 82 ac. of sudangrass / millet and 10 ac. of buckwheat. A fairly dry spring led to optimal planting conditions, and with regular irrigation throughout the summer, most seeds reached full maturation well before the first fall rains. Waterfowl use remained consistent the entire season with a few lulls during some periods of cold weather resulting in ice coverage. The 15 acres of wild rice planted in 2011 once again provided an additional food source for waterfowl and other wildlife species in Crops were planted within diked impoundments of the East and West Coyote units. Remaining portions of diked areas were managed for moist soil management, which uses a combination of periodic soil tillage and water level management to encourage the establishment of native wetland plants beneficial to a wide variety of marsh dependent wildlife species. Field #4 in the West Coyote unit was once again closed to public access throughout the duck season to provide an area designated as wildlife sanctuary. 22

27 Thank You Hunters for taking the time each day to fill out the wildlife area hunt permit cards. Data retrieved from your permits is important for documentation of hunter success and species harvest. We appreciate your effort and support. On behalf of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Fern Ridge Wildlife Area staff would like to acknowledge participation of a special dedicated team of sportsmen that continue to work hard to improve accommodations for hunters and other wildlife area visitors. The Friends of Fern Ridge Wildlife Area - Volunteer Tuesday Crew is a group of talented and capable individuals that arrive at the wildlife area each Tuesday to complete a variety of tasks necessary to keep the wildlife area running. Along with many other projects completed this year, the crew helped with many preparations for the reservation hunt program including camouflaging and structurally rebuilding hunting blinds. Crew members also braved the ice, snow, mud, and water to maintain camouflage materials on the blinds each week and pick up litter and discarded shell casings at each site to make the experience more enjoyable for all participants. Thank You to the crew: Max Smith, John Harrison, Jim Jacobson, Sam Sears, Tony Mulder, Mike Farrell, Jim Barnes, Marvin Powell, Dave Walp, Gary Wills, Steve Taylor, Doug Dewald, Roger Hetzke, Bruce Tait, Marv Sherman and Chuck Courtney. Thank you all for your exceptional personal contributions! We would also like to extend a sincere word of appreciation to Master Volunteer Mike Bibbee for staffing the Reservation Waterfowl Hunt Checkstation again this year on Monday and Wednesday mornings throughout the entire season. Mike arrived at the checkstation two hours before sunrise to help with the hunter check in process. He provides an important service to the wildlife area in addition to his role as an ambassador of good will for the Department. Thank you Mike for your continued active support of wildlife area programs and we hope to see you again next season!
