CALIFORNIA OUTDOORS Q&A

How are Antlers Different from Horns?

McKinleyville

Call or text 707 499-8900.

Antlers vs. horns Q: How are antlers different from horns and pronghorns in ungulate species like deer, elk and bighorn sheep?

A: California is home to ungulate species that have antlers, horns and pronghorns. Deer and elk have antlers, which are made of bone and grow from pedicels, bony supporting structures that develop in the lateral region of an ungulate’s frontal bones (on the top bones of the skull). Antlers are deciduous which means they shed every year. For most ungulate species, only males grow antlers and typically not until after their first year of life. However, female caribou and caribou calves do grow antlers.

Horns are made of bony core covered in keratin, a structural protein that can be likened to fingernails. Horns occur in bighorn sheep and grow continuously through an animal’s life. Scientists can generally count growth rings on horns of males to determine an animal’s age, but aging females from horn rings is far less reliable. There are also several herds of pronghorn antelope in California, including on the Carrizo Plain in San Luis Obispo County and throughout northeastern California. Pronghorns are comprised of a sheath that grows over a bony core. Pronghorn sheaths are deciduous and shed yearly like antlers.

Regulation booklets Q: Can I still get a paper copy of this year’s hunting and fishing regulations booklets?

A: As part of a broader effort to go paperless, the California Department CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE →

of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is transitioning to a digital format for its 2021 hunting and fishing regulations booklets and Big Game Hunting Digest.

Booklets will no longer be printed and shipped to license agents or customers, but electronic versions of the booklets will continue to be available online. The cost to print and ship booklets is significant, and the money saved by going paperless will be redirected to fish and wildlife conservation. The transition to paperless regulations booklets follows a two-year effort to reduce the number of hard copy booklets printed and shipped to license agents and is consistent with the governor’s directive to reduce paper usage, which is also good for the environment. As in previous years, digital booklets are available at wildlife.ca.gov/ Regulations and can be downloaded (and printed from home) as PDFs to your computer, cellular phone or other electronic device. Hunters and anglers are encouraged to download the digital booklets to their mobile devices and familiarize themselves with the digital format prior to hunting and/or fishing trips.

Iron Gate Fish Hatchery Q: Is Iron Gate Dam on the Klamath River being torn down? If so, what will happen to the Iron Gate Fish Hatchery and stocking of steelhead trout?

A: Iron Gate Dam is one of four dams on the Klamath River planned to be removed within the next few years. Iron Gate Fish Hatchery, which is operated by CDFW, will remain mostly in place but will not be operational following dam removal. Only the fish ladder and trap area, which is in the general area of the dam infrastructure, will be removed. A hatchery will be reconstructed and operated on Fall Creek following dam removal. The goal is to help support Coho and Chinook salmon stocks. Iron Gate Fish Hatchery has not produced steelhead since 2012 and CDFW does not plan on producing them at either hatchery in the future. Klamath River steelhead

are very resilient and will re-colonize the new river habitat created by dam removal.

Late season goose hunt Q: I noticed there’s a late season for goose hunting scheduled from Feb. 2024. Is that open to public land hunters, or just private landowners?

A: You’re referring to the late goose season for white-fronted and white geese from Feb. 20-24 (five days), except in the Sacramento Valley Special Management Area where the white-fronted goose season is closed, see CDFW’s 2020-2021 Waterfowl Regulations. During this late goose season, hunting is not permitted on wildlife areas listed in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, sections 550-552, except for Type C Wildlife Areas in the North Central and Central regions. ✦

Doctors’ Tips About the COVID-19 Vaccine (statepoint) More than 500,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 and there have been more than 28 million cases nationwide. Doctors say it’s vital that Americans get vaccinated when it’s their turn, and continue to take precautions against infection.

“Vaccinations are safe, effective, prevent illness and save lives. They offer an incredible opportunity for us to help defeat COVID-19 and regain normalcy,” says American Medical Association (AMA) president, Susan R. Bailey, M.D. “But with more contagious variants of the virus circulating throughout the U.S., now is not the time to let your guard down or scale back on the measures that we know will work to prevent further illness and deaths, such as wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and washing hands.”

To protect yourself and your loved ones, the AMA offers the following guidance: • At some point, likely in the next few months, it will be your turn to get the

vaccine. Talk to your physician about the vaccines, and ask any questions you may have.

• Any and all COVID-19 vaccines authorized will meet the highest standards of quality, safety and effectiveness set by the FDA’s rigorous regulatory review process.

• Be prepared to get vaccinated. Know that vaccines can have minor side effects, including lethargy, mild fever, body aches and pains. When these side effects occur, they typically last a few days. If you have any questions or concerns about side effects, contact your physician.

• Understand that public health measures like masks and physical distancing will still be required until the popula-

tion is broadly vaccinated.

• Science and ingenuity have given us an opportunity to control or even defeat COVID-19, but wide acceptance of the vaccine is necessary for it to be effective. Encourage loved ones who are eligible for the vaccine to schedule an appointment.

For more information about COVID-19 and getting vaccinated, visit ama-assn.org or getvaccineanswers.org.

While the roll-out of the vaccine is encouraging, doctors say we’re not out of the woods yet. Continuing to practice COVID-19 safety measures and getting vaccinated as soon as it’s your turn will help protect you and your loved ones from illness. ✦

GARDENING

Planning and Designing a Productive Vegetable Garden

By Melinda Myers whether planning your first, second or tenth vegetable garden it can be overwhelming. There are so many tasty vegetables and never enough space and

time to grow them all.

Start with a plan. Locate your garden in a sunny location with moist, welldrained soil. Save those partially sunny

areas for greens like lettuce, chard and kale as well as root crops like radishes and beets. These prefer full sun but will tolerate more shade than tomatoes, peppers, squash, broccoli and other plants we eat the flowers and fruit.

Review your favorite recipes and make a list of family favorites and those vegetables most often used. Then check the list to see which vegetables are suited to your climate and growing conditions and those that make the most economic sense to include in your garden.

Tomatoes and peppers produce lots of fruit from one plant and are common ingredients in many recipes. Sweet corn is fun to grow but needs lots of space for a relatively small harvest. If space is limited, consider buying your sweet corn at the farmers’ market and use that space to grow other edibles.

Every gardener struggles with determining how many of each type of vegetable to grow. This depends upon the productivity of the variety selected, your family’s eating habits and of course the impact of weather on the harvest. It is always better to start small, build on your successes and expand the garden in the future. Track your planting and harvesting results to help when planning future gardens.

You will need to plant more if you plan to preserve or donate a portion of your harvest. Purchasing vegetables from your local farmers’ market is a way to ensure you have sufficient fresh produce when you are ready to can, freeze and ferment.

Sound overwhelming? Consider enlisting help from Gardener’s Supply by using one of their vegetable garden plans (gardeners.com). You’ll find customized plans for those who like to cook, want to grow ingredients for a garden-

fresh salad, salsa or cocktails, or are following a Mediterranean diet. Many come with seed packets for all the featured plants.

Maximize the available space by growing vertically. Train pole beans, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers and even squash and melons up trellises. Growing vertically not only saves space, but also increases disease resistance by increasing light and airflow through the plants.

And picking beans at waist height is much easier than harvesting from lowgrowing, bushy plants.

Increase space with containers.

Consider growing some of your frequently used herbs and vegetables in pots on the patio, balcony, or deck for convenience. You can quickly grab what you need when creating your favorite meal.

Grow multiple plantings in each row.

Start the season with cool season veggies like lettuce, peas and radishes. Once the temperatures climb and these plants are harvested and enjoyed, replace them with warm weather vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumbers, squash and melons. Finish off the season by filling any vacant rows with fall crops like greens, beets and radishes.

Take some time to plan a garden that will provide you and your family with fresh produce you can enjoy all season long. Involving everyone in the planning process just might get them to show up and help weed. ✦ Melinda Myers is the author of more than 20 gardening books, including Small Space Gardening.

doc had just finished bringing us up to date on the world’s fight against the covid-19 virus when ol’ Windy Wilson raised his eyes.

“Now don’t ya find, Doc,” he said, “that the worse stuff in this old life is the junk ya can’t see?”

Doc looked puzzled, so Windy continued. “Aw, you know. It’s them mitrascopic stuff that are really dangerous to us.”

Doc nodded.

“Now you jest take in there a braymer bull? He can stomp a guy inta furry, pink Jell-o. And then dance on them bullfighters whilst they’re a-tryin’ to git yer carcass outa the reenur. But see this here now. That there bull is purty dang big.

Big enough to ride, right? So that means he’s big enough so’s you kin get outa his way if he comes a-stompin.”

Windy, our favorite camp cook, cowboy, philosopher, and interpreter of the English language, sipped on his coffee and looked at us each in turn.

“Now, can you see them coronary vibration bugs? No way! Too dang small.

They’ll sneak up on a guy, get married and have pups and then kill ya deader’n a hammer! Thass why, at the conjugal finish a-my thinkin’, I’m puttin’ them bugs in secondary place on my list of alltime tiny mean stuff.”

“Only second place?” said Herb, “What’s worse’n dying, Windy?”

“Cactus hairs,” he said. “A-course. Ya know, them miterscopic stickers that you can’t see when your eyes is nekkid.

But ya know they’s there, doncha? Oh yes, Aunt Sarah, I’ll say ya do!”

Windy nodded, agreeing with himself. No one else did, but that isn’t really necessary with Windy.

“Only way ya kin tell ya got ‘em is when ya brush up agin’ somethin’, like a shirt cuff or somethin’. Hurts like the Civilian War, it does, but ya can’t see it.”

He leaned forward and whispered.

“It’s flambastically insidulouss!
