OHA chapters feed starving wildlife, plan spring projects

The harsh winter weather took a toll on big game animals and upland birds in northeast Oregon this year, prompting several chapters of the Oregon Hunters Association from each end of Oregon to help out with supplies of hay that offered nourishment for big game animals and relief for local landowners besieged with damage due to wintering animals. OHA chapters also chipped in for cracked corn to feed suffering upland game birds.
