What to do with injured
wildlife?
Q. We have seen an in-
jured buck in our neighbor-
hood with a gash in his left
hind leg and bone sticking
out. It's swollen, probably in-
fected and he can't put any
weight on that leg at all.
I don't see how it will get
better and he doesn't seem to
have much to look forward to
other than a lot of suffering
and a painful death. He needs
to either be given a fighting
chance by tranquilizing and
treating him or to be put out
of his misery so this injury
won't fester and cause him to
suffer any more.
Is there anything someone
can do?

A. There are wildlife reha-
bilitation facilities that are
able to help fawns in some
situations, but for safety rea-
sons they cannot possess or
take in adult deer.
According to Nicole Carl-
on, the California Depart-
ment of Fish and Game's
(DFG) statewide coordinator
for wildlife rehabilitation
and restricted species, adult
deer can be very dangerous
and do not fare well in cap-
tivity to undergo medical
treatment, so a rescue is not
a good option. In this particu-
lar case, it sounds like hu-
mane euthanasia may be the
best solution.
Unfortunately, DFG does
not have the manpower to re-
spofid to most injured wild
animal calls. You should still
report injured wildlife to
your local DFG office. If
there is someone who can re-
spond, he or she will do so.
The DFG may also be able to
terference in most cases is
not beneficial.
This buck may succumb'to
his injuries, but there are
many times when deer can
survive severe injuries; they
just need time to heal.
Thank you for caring
about wildlife. For more in-
formation on what to do
about sick or injured
wildlife, please see the DFG

New trucks with locking
gun storage lockers?
Q. I have some questions
about a new crew cab style
pickup out this season that
includes a pair of built-in
locking Storage lockers un-
der the rear seats that can be
used to store firearms, My
questions are:
1) Would dual storage lock-
ers, separated by a divider
that must be unlocked on
both sides before it can be re-
moved, satisfy the storage
and transport requirements
of California law, providing
of course the gun is trans-
ported empty and the ammo
is kept separately in the oth-
er compartment?
2) In the case of long guns,
if pulling out the divider
links the two compartments,
would the owner then have
to store ammo somewhere
else?
The only other locking
storage compartment would
be the glove compartment or
maybe center console stor-
age, but that is within reach
of the driver.

Number of fishing lines in
saltwater?
Q. How many fishing lines
can I use at one time when
fishing in the ocean?
---Rob K.
A. In saltwater, you can
use as many lines as you can
handle, with some excep-
tions.
On public piers, only two
fishing appliances (lines,
rods, traps, hoop nets, etc.)
are allowed.
When fishing for rockfish,
lingcod, salmon and some
other species, the number of
lines you can use is limited
(see individual Species' regu-
lations for details).
When fishing in San Fran-
cisco Bay, only one line may
be used (and three hooks,
maximum)• See section 28.65
in the current Ocean Sport
Fishing regulations booklet
for more information.

• It was another quiet seismic week in
Northeast California as the number of
earthquakes registering M t.O or stron-
ger declined to only three events. This is
the fewest number reordered in several
years and it was the fourth consecutive
week that single-digit activity has been
recorded. The last time this relaxed level
of seismic activity was recorded was be-
tween December 2010 and January 2011
with six consecutive weeks.
M 1.4 earthquake was recorded about 1.5
miles southwest of Westwood and a mile
east of Clear Creek near the Mountain
Meadows Reservoir dam. It was a relative-
ly shallow quake, triggering at less than a
mile deep. It was too weak to be felt. The
tremor occurred slightly east of the
Walker Springs Fault on probably a near-
by splay. The Walker Springs Fault is a
west side down normal fault whereby the
ground on the west (the Clear Creek side)
has dropped down relative to the east side
(the Westweod side). This fault is capable
of earthquakes in the upper M 6 range.
