  1. No joke, I had no idea they had Lion farms. They need to be shut down.
  2. Well after this next season some school is gonna get a good coach and Liberty is losing one.
  3. I have seen pictures of the Claypool Reservoir but, never video this is sweet: Scroll down to the video at the bottom of this article: [Hidden Content]
  4. I know most of us don't lion hunt. It looks like South Africa is finally doing something about canned hunts. [Hidden Content]
  5. There will be plenty of room for ya'll. Come on down.
  6. Playoffs 8 out of 9 seasons, sounds OK to me.
  7. All of our district opponents should be pleased to know that construction has started on the new Home side. Which means that the old home side is now the visitors side. There will be a lot more room for our 22-4A guests. I will try and post some pictures later.
  8. I can't believe that, never would have thought it.
  9. Dayton's QB Cody Green #21 is returning. 22-4A District Championship last year and second round of playoffs under his belt. I am not saying he is the best but, I do take exception to the statement "no play maker qb's are returning". ;D
  10. There is whole lot of football to be played before then.
  11. Dayton's David Howard 22-4A All District kicker signed with Southwestern Assemblies of God University. David was also a receiver at Dayton and will most likely be a receiver at SAGU. Congratulations David!
  12. There are always questionable calls, it just seems like more when you are losing.
  13. They played well, the second half they had a lot of missed shots. They just couldn't seem to get them to go in. By the way I was sending text messages I guess I got the wrong # or something.
  14. Hall is good, but man you sure do make some bold statements. Nobody is unstoppable.
  15. I know we have had several sightings around Dayton over the years of Black Panthers. I believe this explains it. With nothing even remotely close to come the size of the cat and the fact that they are mostly seen at night so you can't determine the color.
  16. Jaguarundis Linked to the Black Panther Mystery "Black panthers" exist in the United States. This isn't a theory, hypothesis or hallucination, but a verifiable, undeniable fact. No, science hasn't discovered a new cat species or a population of melanistic (black) cougars to explain alleged "black panther" sightings. They haven't even captured a black leopard that escaped from one of those circus train wrecks skeptics of cryptozoology so often speak of. Yes, there are "black panthers" in the United States but believing in their existence doesn't require a leap of faith. It just calls for a new look at a known species: the jaguarundi. The jaguarundi (Felis yagouaroundi) is known to range from South America to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. And although not widely known by the public, jaguarundis are prime candidates for spawning "black panther" reports. They are a medium-sized cat with a mean body size of 102 centimeters for females and 114 for males according to Mexican researcher Arturo Caso. Other sources list them as ranging from 100 to 120 centimeters with the tail making up the greatest part of the length. Most specimens are about 20 centimeters tall and sport a dark gray color while others are chocolate brown or blonde. A large jaguarundi crossing a road in front of a motorist or appearing before an unsuspecting hunter could easily be labeled a "black panther". Since very few people are aware of jaguarundis, it's highly unlikely they would report seeing one. The term "black panther" is quick and easy to report to others. Everyone can relate to a "black panther". North of the border Jaguarundis are known to range from South America to the Mexican borders of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. The key word here is "known". That means scientists have observed or captured the species within those areas, however they are reported to range much farther north in the Lone Star State and perhaps elsewhere. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) officials solicited information from the public and received numerous reports of the species in the 1960s, including several sightings from central and east Texas. Additional sightings were reported from as far away as Florida, Oklahoma, and Colorado. In a study conducted in 1984, TPWD biologists noted a string of unconfirmed jaguarundi sightings in Brazoria County, which corners the hugely populated areas of both Houston and Galveston. Brazoria County is more than 200 miles north of the counties of Cameron and Willacy, which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has designated as being the only confirmed areas of Texas that houses jaguarundis. This is even more interesting when considering what TPWD biologist Terry Turney has to day. Turney is now an endangered species biologist in Kendall County but spent the early part of his career in Port Arthur, Texas managing the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area (WMA). On this 30,000-acre tract of mixed coastal prairie and marsh according to Turney is a population of jaguarundis. "While I worked the Murphree Area one of the workers had seen three of them and the ranchers around the area as well as other members of the Murphree crew saw them fairly frequently. It was "those little gray cats" to them," Turney said. "I had two of them in my neighborhood near Houston in the late 70s and the dogs would tree them every couple of weeks. They're about the most secretive critters around," he added. The J.D. Murphree WMA is more than 300 miles north of the Service's estimated range. How is it that state workers are seeing these cats in Port Arthur while the official word is they're only in the southern extremities of Texas? In my opinion this is a great oversight by federal biologists who wrongly believe this cat to only inhabit a specific type of habitat. Jaguarundis are listed as an endangered species by the Service and full under federal jurisdiction. And for the most part what the Feds say goes with endangered species. A study conducted by Arizona and federal scientists states that jaguarundi habitat, especially in South Texas, includes dense, thorny thickets of mesquite and stunted acacias known as chaparral. It also state less than one percent of this type of habitat is left along the US-Mexican border. That's true but jaguarundis are known to live in a variety of habitats, including rainforests, prairie, deciduous forests and marshland. It could very well be that very few jaguarundis live in that zone because of a lack of habitat. Most of that area has been converted to farmland. The game and habitat-rich areas along the Texas coast along with the Pineywoods and Hill Country region however is housing a population of jaguarundis that have slipped under the radar screen of federal officials.

  17. Feb. 12, 2007 TPWD, CCA Texas Team up to Retire Record Number of Inshore Shrimping Licenses AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Coastal Conservation Association Texas teamed up to retire a record number of inshore shrimping licenses this year.

  18. A.J. Dugat will be back, Mike is a senoir this year. A.J. should still be a receiver, although he did run the ball some last season. John Gable will probably be the starting RB where M. Dugat left off. You can expect to see Ford Smesny run the ball and also Jeff Summers, along with several others.
