A challenge to junior riders
at the Alaska State Fair in
Palmer this year will be Bob
Webb’s troupe of rodeo steers,
already pretty well versed in
tossing the younger buckaroo
set. The well-traveled livestock
have attended all the rodeos in
this part of the state this sum
mer, according to Bob Webb,
chairman of the horse show
events at the fair.
“Although kids have tried to
ride them at all the shows,
they’ve seldom been caught or
ridden,” Webb said.
Juniors, who must have writ
ten permission from their par
ents to enter the event, can
earn $1 a second if they can

Caribou Hunters Asked to Help
With Game Department Health Study
The Alaska Department of
Fish and Game urged this
week that all caribou hunters
bring in the lower jaw bone
: and the reproductive tract of
their caribou to the game
checking station with them
when they check out. Hunters
SHEEP HUNTING
REPORTED GOOD
The Alaska Department of
Fish and Game have announc
ed that many areas in the
Wrangell Mountains, as well as
the Kenai and Talkeetna
Mountains, are affording good
sheep hunting. Many hunters
reported seeing legal rams in
addition to the animal they
took.
The Department also wishes
to remind sheep hunters that
the sheep harvest tickets are
a necessary prelude to sheep
hunting. Although many li
cense vendors recently ran out
of the tickets, they are again
available. The Protection Of
fice of the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game also will dis
I tribute the sheep harvest tic
kets.
As the name of the ticket im
plies, much information will be
: gained from the tickets which
I will allow the future regula
' tions concerning sheep harvest
I to be made with much more
precision.
Some hunters apnear to have
been misinformed regarding
the time the sheep harvest
ticket is to be attached to the
sheep. It should be done im
mediately after the kiil and
should be kept intact until the
carcass is processed. Sheep
heads presented to taxidermists
or for trophy measurements
should have the harvest ticket
attached to the horns.

blood samples from their cari
bou and moose.
The jaws and reproductive
tracts will be utilized in stud
ies on caribou productivity.
Through the analysis of these
specimens the Department will
be able to obtain information
on the reproductive potential
of the caribou of the Nelchina
Herd and further evaluate the
seasons and regulations per
taining to this species.
The Alaska Department of
Fish and Game in cooperation
with the Animal Disease Eradi

tions. Hunters may obtain
blood vials and information
sheets at the game check sta
tions on their way to the hunt.
