ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, MARCH 22-23- In this photo taken March 8, 2014, Mann Lake is shown near Burns, Ore. During spawning season, the trout venture close to shore and make for easy picking for wade anglers. Just five years after being devoid of fish, Mann Lake has re-established itself as the only place in Eastern Oregon to catch trophy-quality cutthroat trout. Located beneath Steens Mountain, the remote lake had long been known as a destination for catching stocked trout heavy with Lahontan genetics, a large desert subspecies that was native to the area before poor water practices drove the local population to presumed extinction.

FILE - This undated file photo shows a deer provided by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. North Dakota's deer population is lower than it's been for decades. Data released this week by the state Game and Fish Department show that hunter success last season was down from 2012 and well below the long-term average. Wildlife officials say loss of habitat is one of the biggest concerns, and without turning that around there will be little chance of a big rebound in the deer population.
