The duck hatch has been amazing this year! The number of birds out on the refuge is just great! But, with the good comes the bad, the botulism is bad this year. Over 3,000 dead birds have been picked up this season. We are constantly working to get a hold on it though, and keeping them picked up every year slows the spread. Thanks to Cal-Ore for the many volunteer hours out there on the refuge picking up these dead and sick birds. Not a beautiful job, but thanks for oll the help and hard, nasty, work. Cal-Ore volunteers also spent many hours this year planting grain, and mowing trying to eliminate those nasty cockle-burrs, and at the same time providing excellent habitat for our many incoming fall birds.
We have had a lot of fun already this hunting season, opening day was really good compared to last years near freeze out.
The Junior Hunt BBQ had a great turn out this year, 150 Junior Hunters attended, all walking away with a bag of hunting information and goodies, and the 75 new Whitefront members that joined Cal-Ore got beautiful backpacks made by (Tanglefoot) embroidered with the Cal-Ore logo a gift from Cal-Ore for being a part of helping keep the quality hunting at the Klamath Basin Refuges. We look forward to seeing most of you again next year! (continued under Events)

This year the Refuge sponsered its first ever "Ladies Hunt" on saturday Oct. 24. There weren't too many ladies hunting this year but we hope to improve the numbers next year! America's women are becoming noticed as a new demographic in the hunting community. It is a sport that can fit a womans lifestyle and who doesn't love fresh unprocessed meat that you got yourself! Come on ladies, moms, sisters, and even grandmas, lets get out and support each other and have a great day watching the beauty of the birds on the marsh!
