Yep, Phil. There is plenty of info on the net and am not sure why they don't learn how the good benefits far outweigh anything bad. One can go to the websites of Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International, Quail Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, etc., to see where all the Billions of dollars that hunters, fishermen, and outdoorsmen in general goes to help the habitat of wildlife, keep animal populations healthier than ever and in greater numbers than ever before and yet in check so cities and towns are not overrun. These 'Anti' groups that go around burning forests, auto dealerships, warehouses, and such costing America Billions. If they would just take the time to study the solutions and work with us, the wildlife would be even better off than just us working on the problems.

I want to come back and read that article in depth. That looks interesting. Texas is so different than so many other states because most hunting is done on Private Land. So I want to see what is going on in a Public Land state. I have to return a few phone calls but, will be back to study it.
Colt
Thanks, OneBgg.
Wantoberich, Miami better keep Ricky Williams happy because everyone down here want him and the Chiefs Priest Holmes in Cowboy uniforms. LOL Talk about an uproar coming out of Kansas City and Miami. They'd skin us alive if that happened. But, heck, both are Texas boys and should be playing for the Home team. Ruellit would kill me if Dallas got Priest Holmes. <ggg>
Colt
TH,
Many of the bucks are still in velvet, although many have a bunch hanging off.
The picture was taken a couple weeks ago, in September. The hunter is from Minnesota and the buck was supposedly killed on the King Ranch where he had hunted it each of the past 3 seasons. I saw elsewhere that it was killed in Minnesota? I dunno, but, will try to get a confirmation. Sometimes hunters are like fisherman and don't want others to know where their Honey Hole is. Either way that is one good looking buck. It is even more impressive that it was taken via bow and arrow. Good Game Management is really working for the benefit of man and animal.
Colt
BTW, wantoberich, can you get us guys some autographed photos of the Cheerleaders at that game? We sure would appreciate it and I know you'd love to get them for us. Ha!
Colt
Wantoberich, who you pulling for? I am not really a fan of the dolphins, only now a bit because of Ricky Williams. I also like Dan Marino and Don Shula. I haven't followed New England much so far. Should be a good game. Wave to us when the TV camera comes by. LOL
Colt
Welcome, Peg. Don't you like my Dallas Cowboys just a little bit? LOL Don't answer! Too big of a rivalry between NY/NJ and Texas sports teams. I am a Yankee's fan though. Now I'll get piled on. Again, welcome to the board.
Colt
Bull, ol' Shockey, kind of reminds me of another Tight End in a past era, Mike Ditka. Both extremely talented but, both tended to march to the beat of a different drummer. I do think that Shockey would best be served if he just kept quiet and played the game. He is too good to be letting his remarks control his game. JMHO.
Colt
Sara, let's keep our fingers crossed. Maybe we can 'will' both teams into the playoffs. <ggg> Yeah, that was a bummer for Emmitt. Money and ego's (Owners and players, both being guilty) can ruin something that for years was a good thing. I think both Rice and smith would still be better off playing for their old teams. It is really hard for older players to switch teams at the ends of their careers to have much success. Just look at Michael Jordan. Jordan, Rice and Smith are the three greatest players of all time at their position and not much for any once they switched teams.
Colt
Bull, the Panthers are looking good. The Panthers/Colts game should be a good one. Sometimes the buildup doesn't match the game. But, this year seems different. I hope they show it down here.
Colt
Great post, Bull. I forgot all about the Heidi bowl. Was that Oakland and Pittsburg? Or maybe it was Oakland and Kansas City. America almost had another Civil War over that game. Football fans vs. movie fans. <g>
Colt
Welcome to the board, wantoberich. That was about as good a comeback as I've ever seen. Just goes to show that one shouldn't count on a win until the final buzzer. There was another great comeback (that fell a TD short) in the playoffs a few years back with the Oilers and Bills (I think). Anyway last night's game will be hard to beat.
Colt
Ruellit, I am looking forward to that game as well as the Panthers and Colt's game. You'd think that with the name of Colt, that I'd be pulling for the Colt's. Gotta stick with my San Antonio & Univ. of Texas boy, the Chief's, Priest Holmes. Also good ol' Ricky Williams with the Dolphins. I may even have to give up rooting for the Cowboys since they don't have one UT player on the roster. LOL
Colt
Well Ruellit, it looks like it's going to be a dog fight between the Chiefs and Colts. 35 points against the Tampa Bay Bucs in one half. Awesome. Glad I stayed up to watch it. Can't wait to see the Chiefs and Colts duke it out down the line. Both teams are 5-0.
Colt
Unbelievable game. Watching the Colts come back from 21 down with less than 4 minutes left in the game and then to win it in overtime. Amazing. Should be some records set in this one.
Colt
NLionGuy, that is sad. Us Cowboys fans saw yesterday, what happens to the Greats when they seem to stay longer than they should. Emmitt looked like he had never played a down of football in his life, cracked a shoulder blade during the game and was crying after the game in the press conference. I wish he had gone ahead and retired a Cowboy last year. One of the few greats to ever do it the right way was David Robinson, whose last game was winning the NBA Finals this year on Fathers Day. He had his dad and all three of his boys at the game. It couldn't have ended any more perfect for him. I wish the same could happen to Joe Paterno and Emmitt Smith.
This is definitely a wild and crazy football season. I'm looking for Miami and Ohio State to get knocked off soon. The law of averages is catching up to them with all their close wins. LOL They are both excellent teams but, I'd still like to see them get knocked off their perch.

If anyone here likes the Blues, you should get the new Harley Davidson Roadhouse Blues CD. It is awesome.
http://jazzreview.com/cdreview.cfm?ID=5291
Featured Artist: Various Artists
CD Title: Harley-Davidson Roadhouse Blues
Year: 2003
Record Label: The Right Stuff
Style: Blues
Review: The American institution Harley Davidson motorcycles and some of the best blues players on the planet join forces on the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse Blues CD. The company sponsored this CD compilation and they advertise some of their product with pictures on the inside of the CD booklet. There is no doubt that they are one of the last great U.S. based companies and one of the few that have not farmed out all their work to China or some other poverty stricken third world country. The bike is synonymous with the height of freedom that becomes yours from riding and listening to music. Strangely missing is one the all-time favorite biker bands Canned Heat. Even so, the lineup is mightily impressive.
George Thorogood, James Cotton, Luther Allison, John Lee Hooker, Steve Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Riatt and a host of others contribute tracks to this CD, chock full of different styles of the blues genre. If you are in the mood for rowdy party blues, you will not find it on this CD, with the exception of “Shake Your Money Maker.” That is not to say that you will not enjoy it, as it is all very good…just a bit mellower than the sustained hard driving energy that the electric blues always offers. The reason this is so? It is the wide variety of styles and artists offered on the recording. This can be a good thing when you are marketing a compilation and need to keep the listener’s interest for 18 tracks, which is a lot of music. I certainly enjoyed listening to this entire CD. I have to admit that the variety kept me entertained straight on through. If you are looking for a lot of great blues music by several different artists, check out this ride, it is top of the line just like the motorcycle.

Shake Your Money Maker performed by George Thorogood & The Destroyers
The Sky Is Crying performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
The Road's My Middle Name performed by Bonnie Raitt

Information Sought on Moose Poaching Near Vail - Colorado Division of Wildlife
10/03/03
The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) is seeking information from the public about a bull moose poached within the past two weeks along a U.S. Forest Service Road north of Vail.
The carcass of the moose was discovered Sunday, Sept. 28, along Forest Service Road 410, known as the Meadow Creek Road, and reported to the DOW. The route leads to Piney Lake in the White River National Forest.
The investigating DOW officers determined that the moose was shot and killed a week or more before the carcass was discovered. There is no hunting season for moose in the area where the animal was killed.
The rack of the adult bull was recovered by the DOW and measured 41 inches wide.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact the DOW’s Glenwood office at (970) 947-2920 or call the Operation Game Thief Hotline at (800) 332-4155.
A reward can be paid for information leading to an arrest in the case or if a citation is issued.

Harding County Hunter Advisory - South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks
10/03/03
With the start of firearm antelope season beginning Oct. 4, hunters are advised to check on the status of their favorite hunting spot before traveling out.
"Four landowners in Harding County have recently cancelled their Walk-In Area contracts," said Game, Fish and Parks Hunting Access Coordinator Bill Smith. "Their decisions to cancel their contracts came after the 2003 Atlas was printed, so those lands are still depicted in the 2003 Hunting Atlas as being open to Walk-In Area hunting, when they are not. These landowners will not be paid for their contracts, as they were cancelled before the major hunting seasons began."
Hunters can find out which areas these are by clicking on "WIA Deletions" on the atlas portion of the webpage at: http://www.state.sd.us/gfp/Publications/Atlas/Index.htm Hunters can also download an updated version of the maps on this portion of the webpage.
$38,000 Grant for Youth Hunting Program - Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
10/03/03
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has awarded the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department a $38,000 grant from its Hunting Heritage Partnership for funding the Texas Youth Hunting Program.
Announcement of the grant award was made at the recent International Association of State Fish and Wildlife Agencies meeting. Eighteen state agencies received more than $500,000 in grant awards from NSSF.
Texas will use the funds to expand its youth hunting program offering special three-day hunts to an additional 250 youth and retain these new hunters with hunts offered in the later years. The program will also recruit and retain adult hunters participating in the program as either parents or volunteers.
"Our programs allow us to continue to preserve our hunting heritage in the state of Texas. We provide new hunters with the hunt of a lifetime, teaching them safety and ethics at no cost to them," said Mike Berger, Wildlife Division director for TPWD. "To ensure that we have hunting in Texas for the foreseeable future, we must reach out to young people."
The Hunting Heritage Partnership was established by the NSSF, the trade association for the firearm industry, to provide much needed direct funding to state wildlife agencies to help them with programs that provide opportunities for, and remove barriers to, hunter participation.
"Officials with TPWD have designed a unique and dynamic recruitment tool and this grant recognizes their successful efforts and helps build on them. This is exactly the kind of creative approach that agencies in other states can look to as a model to help preserve our hunting and conservation traditions," said Doug Painter, president of the NSSF.
The Lone Star State’s 2.4 million anglers and 1.2 million hunters spent $4.1 billion in Texas last year in pursuit of their pastimes, which supported 73,000 jobs in the state, according to the most recent census survey conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Efforts to expand hunting, such as the Texas Youth Hunting Program, help boost the economy in a state where almost one of every seven Texas residents hunt or fish, generating $218 million in state tax revenue.
The Texas Youth Hunting Program was established by a cooperative effort of between the Texas Wildlife Association and TPWD to promote the hunting heritage in Texas. Young people ages 9-17 are eligible. For more information about the Texas Youth Hunting Program, call (210) 260-5588 or toll-free at (800) 460-5494. Applications and additional information is also available online at http://www.texas-wildlife.org/tyhp/ The program also is seeking volunteer adult mentors and landowners who will allow hunting on their property. Insurance coverage for participating landowners is provided, said Jerry Warden, Texas Youth Hunting Program coordinator.
DFW Seeks Access and Wildlife Project Proposals - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
10/03/03
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Access and Habitat Board is seeking proposals for projects that increase public hunting access and/or benefit wildlife habitat on private lands. The application deadline is Oct. 15.
Projects that have received funding in the past include wildlife forage seeding, water development, riparian protection, meadow fertilization, wetland restoration, regulated hunt programs, law enforcement patrol, travel management areas, and hunting leases.
Individuals, organizations or agencies wishing to receive a grant must complete an application describing the project and its benefits to wildlife and/or provisions for public hunting opportunities. Proposals are reviewed by Regional A&H Advisory Councils and the A&H Board. Recommended projects are forwarded to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission for final approval.
Created by the Oregon Legislature in 1993, the A&H Program is funded by a $2 surcharge on hunting licenses. Funds raised by the program are distributed through grants to individual and corporate landowners, conservation organizations, and others for cooperative wildlife habitat improvement and hunter access projects throughout the state.
For application materials or additional information about the Access and Habitat Program, contact program coordinator Susan Barnes at (503) 947-6087. Application materials are also available on-line at www.dfw.state.or.us on the main wildlife page.
Proper Game Disposal Reminder - Wyoming Game and Fish
10/03/03
Every October, Wyoming Game and Fish Department offices field calls similar to this: “I live in the country and somebody shot an antelope and left it on our road.” Investigation almost always reveals the sighting was only a carcass left as litter by someone who processed their own game.
Hunters may think they are completing the food chain by returning the carcass to nature’s scavengers, but discarding the carcass along a road is actually littering. It is also illegal, and shocking to the regular users, to throw carcasses in private dumpsters.
“Show some respect to the animal harvested and other citizens by taking care of the carcass properly so it is not seen by unsuspecting individuals,” said Steve DeCecco, Green River wildlife supervisor.
Proper disposal varies by community. In some areas, carcasses are hauled away with the regular trash. Casper requires hunters to deliver carcasses to a special landfill. In Cheyenne, municipal dumpsters specifically for carcasses are on Old Happy Jack Road near the intersection with Missile Drive during hunting season.
Hunters are urged to contact their local sanitation department for disposal instructions.
Primitive Weapons Deer Season Approaching - Georgia Department of Natural Resources
09/29/03
Muzzleloader users are eagerly awaiting the opening day of primitive weapons deer season, Saturday, Oct. 11, when hunters may use either archery equipment or muzzleloading firearms. Last year more than 64,000 muzzleloader hunters harvested approximately 23,700 deer, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). The 2003 primitive weapons season runs from Saturday, Oct. 11 through Friday, Oct. 17 statewide and hunters can take deer of either sex.
“The primitive weapons season continues to be of high interest to hunters in Georgia,” says WRD Chief of Game Management Todd Holbrook. “Twenty-three percent of hunters in Georgia used a muzzleloader during deer season. That number has increased over the past several years but is starting to level off.”
During the primitive weapons season hunters may use archery equipment (including crossbows), muzzleloading shotguns (20 gauge or larger) and muzzleloading firearms (.44 caliber or larger). All hunters must wear at least 500 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange above the waist during the primitive weapons season. Hunters may use iron or non-magnifying fiberoptic sights on muzzleloaders during the primitive weapons season. Scopes and other optical sighting devices may not be used on muzzleloaders during this special week-long season. Scopes are legal on archery equipment. In-line rifles, as long as they must be loaded through the muzzle, are legal.
Hunters who participate in primitive weapons season may harvest deer of either sex during the entire week of the season in counties open for firearms deer hunting. Hunters also should note that the season bag limit remains at 12 deer, only two of which may be antlered bucks. If two antlered bucks are taken during the season, one of the two must have at least four points (one inch or longer) on one side of the antlers. There are no antler restrictions for the other of the two antlered bucks except in counties with special antler restrictions.
Georgia sportsmen and women must possess both a primitive weapons license and a big game license to hunt deer during the primitive weapons season. Hunters also must possess a wildlife management area (WMA) license to hunt on a WMA. Hunters may purchase licenses at over 1,200 license agents, on the Internet at www.gohuntgeorgia.com or by phone at 1-888-748-6887.
For more information on the primitive weapons season, visit the WRD website at:

Three Recent Rule Changes Affect Hunters - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
09/29/03
Hunters preparing for fall big game seasons need to be aware of three new rules that were recently changed and are not included in the 2003 Oregon Big Game Regulations.
Hunters seeking more information about the new rules are encouraged to contact their nearest ODFW district or field office before heading out.
*Possession of firearms:
As a result of a recent legal review, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission rescinded all administrative rules that restrict the possession of firearms during certain hunting seasons. However, hunters must follow existing rules that govern the type of weapon used to hunt big game, game birds or furbearers. For example, it remains a violation to hunt bear with a centerfire or muzzleloading rifle without a valid unused deer or elk tag during many deer and elk seasons as listed on page 13 of the 2003 Oregon Big Game Regulations.
More information on the rules governing the possession of firearms may be found on the ODFW Web site on the Wildlife Main Page at www.dfw.state.or.us..
*Evidence-of-gender:
Rules adopted earlier this year provide resident hunters the option of following either the old rules from 2002 requiring the scalp with the eyes and antlers attached, or new rules, described in the 2003 Oregon Big Game Regulations, where either the head or reproductive organs must remain attached. Hunters leaving Oregon with game meat must follow both Oregon’s rules and the rules of the state where the animal was taken.
*Import of game meat:
A new permanent rule aims to prevent the importation of chronic wasting disease to Oregon. Hunters bringing deer or elk meat back from states with CWD cannot import any portion of the head or spinal column of unless it has been cleaned of all meat and brain tissue. Allowed carcass parts include: cut and wrapped meat, quarters or other portions without the spinal column or head, boned out meat, hides and/or capes without head, skull plates with antlers attached and no tissue attached, upper canine teeth and finished taxidermy heads. Hunters leaving Oregon with deer or elk meat must follow both Oregon’s rules and the rules of the state where the animal was taken.
Deer Hunters Asked: Reduce Deer Herd, Feed Needy - Iowa Department of Natural Resources
09/29/03
Iowa deer hunters are being asked to pull double duty this hunting season.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking them to shoot more deer, does in particular, to reduce the deer population. With the hope that hunters will shoot more deer than they want for themselves, a program has been set up to get the extra venison to the needy.
Help Us Stop Hunger, or HUSH, was announced today by the DNR, the Food Bank of Iowa and a number of other partners. DNR Director Jeffrey Vonk said that in this first year, HUSH will be piloted in a 55-county area of central and southeast Iowa. Most of the lockers that process deer in this area are participating, he said.
"Any deer hunter can take their legally harvested deer, any sex from any season, to one of the participating lockers and fill out a card. It costs the hunter nothing, and the locker gets paid $50 to process the deer into pure ground venison. The Food Bank of Iowa will arrange for the venison to be picked up and delivered into the system to feed the needy," Vonk explained.
Karen Ford, Executive Director of the Food Bank of Iowa, explained how valuable this new source of protein would be for its member agencies (pantries, soup kitchens, etc.) who feed the ill, the needy and children.
Several Iowa organizations and companies, most of them hunting related, have donated cash to pay for the venison processing, he said. Hunters will be given a chance to donate $5 when they buy their deer permit, beginning in a few weeks, according to Vonk.
Vonk said the motive for HUSH came from legislation last year that asked the DNR and the Department of Corrections to cooperate in getting deer hunters to donate venison to feed prison inmates. He said the prison program is still being developed, and an announcement will be made soon on how it works, and added that HUSH will encourage more hunters to shoot more does and it will be more widespread.
"This is another example of how important our natural resources can be. They can provide high quality outdoor recreation with the additional ability to help the needy," said Vonk.
Deer hunters can buy several permits during the seasons this fall and winter, depending on which seasons they choose. After a hunter purchases the first antlerless-only (doe) permit for $26, subsequent antlerless only permits are only $11 each. More than 30,000 additional antlerless-only permits will be available this year, compared to last year.
Contributions to the Food Bank of Iowa to pay for venison processing have come from the Iowa Farm Bureau, Whitetails Unlimited, Hunter Specialties of Cedar Rapids, Knight Rifles of Centerville, Iowa Bow Hunters Association, Iowa Outfitters and Guides Association, Safari Club, Izaak Walton League and Pioneer Hi-Bred.
