I was thinking the same thing. Nobody wants to pray until something goes wrong. Asking for God to protect and prevent is much better than heal or revive.

Cool! Micah gettin it done.

WHITE-TAILED DEER *Special Youth Season Oct. 27-28, Jan. 19-20 Ducks *Special Youth Season Oct. 27-28 Get them kids in the woods, hunting and fishing. I saw a political bumper sticker on a truck with Lousiana license plates yesterday that said, "Kids who hunt and fish don't steal and deal."

Don't forget that youth can go a week early for deer or duck. October 27-28 for both.

;D He just got his cats mixed up.

Oct. 17, 2007 Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting Report Weekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February. High Plains Mallard Management Unit: The regular duck season opens this weekend (Oct. 21–22), then closes for four days, then reopens and runs Oct. 26–Jan.27. Plenty of ducks are using playa lakes and stock tanks; and, the region is in good shape since summer rains dumped buckets of water on the High Plains. However, some of those playas have dried to dirt since significant rainfall has not occurred since. Dumas, Amarillo, Spearman and Knox City should see good hunts for gadwalls, wigeons, teal, shovelers and mallards. A few specklebellies have made it to the Knox City area; however, the brunt of the Canada goose population along with sandhill cranes have not made it to the Panhandle. A few sandhills have been trickling down the flyway. The West Zone goose season runs Nov. 3–Feb. 5. Prospects are good. North Zone Dove: Mourning doves continue to hang out in soybeans and other agricultural fields near water. Better shoots are coming around stock tanks in the afternoon. Hunting picked up last week with the cool front which brought new birds from Kansas, though few hunters are taking advantage of the hunting opportunities. Panhandle hunts have been best around sunflowers and corn. Treelines and watering holes have been good in Harrison and Red River Counties. The season runs through Oct. 30. Prospects are fair to good. Central Zone Dove: Brownwood hunters are taking limits and near-limits of mourning dove around watering sources in the afternoon. San Antonio, Uvalde and Hondo have been fair to good for whitewings in corn, milo and along established flyways. Many whitewings have figured out the hunting scenario by flying out of shotgun range until they reach their roosting trees in the city. San Saba and Waco saw new birds last week as a result of the front. Fields around Winnie, Devers, China and Dayton have been fair to good for mourners. Hunter participation has waned despite new migrants in the region. The first split of the season runs through Oct. 30. Prospects are fair to good. South Zone Dove: Hunting for mourners and a few whitewings have been fair to good around Goliad, Beeville, George West and Three Rivers. Best shoots have been around water in the afternoon. Falfurrias and Alice has been good for limits of whitewings and mourners. Solid shoots have come from the Laredo, Freer and Cotulla areas. Drier conditions recently has doves concentrated around water in the afternoon. Whitewings are solid near Port Mansfield, Harlingen and Brownsville in wild sunflowers, milo and corn. Better shoots came from Wharton County this week. Fields with long treelines and gravel sources were good for limit shoots around Bay City. The first split runs through Nov. 11. Prospects are good. Waterfowl Update: Ducks are building along coastal ponds and coastal prairie ponds. Shovelers, wigeons, pintails, gadwalls, teal and lots of shovelers are using available water sources. Snow geese are still two weeks away from arriving in force, provided a significant temperature change to the north. Small groups of specklebellies have been spotted near Eagle Lake, Garwood, Wharton and El Campo. Northeast Texas has not seen significant rain in the last six weeks, which has dried up shallow pond. Lakes and reservoirs are in good shape and expect ducks to concentrate if the absence of rainfall persists. Duck season for the North and South Zones run Nov. 3–25 and Dec. 8–Jan.27.

In a word = Ugly. Ozen can move the ball, but the just can't seem to do much inside the 20 yard line. They get down there with the run and then start throwing the ball. They can pound 4, 5, up to 7 yards a carry if they want. IMO

Detached ligament in his ankle, he is doing good though. Next year he will be playing 2 seasons worth in 1. ;D

Oct. 15, 2007 TPWD Dedicates Justin Hurst WMA in Honor of Fallen Warden FREEPORT, Texas — The site formerly known as Peach Point Wildlife Management area near here is being formally rededicated as the “Justin Hurst WMA†in recognition of the game warden and former wildlife biologist who was killed in the line of duty earlier this year. The renaming of the site was made official during a special ceremony Oct. 12. As a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist, Hurst devoted six years to the 15,612-acre WMA known for its lush wetlands and coastal plains harboring waterfowl and numerous aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species. As Peach Point’s area manager he was instrumental in the development of many waterfowl conservation projects on the site, including research into mottled duck ecology. "Justin was dedicated to Peach Point,†recalls Hurst’s widow, Amanda. “He worked here every day, many nights and weekends. We had our first date at Peach Point. His love for waterfowl, especially the mottled duck, was evident in his work as a biologist and a game warden. Now, Peach Point will be dedicated to Justin." Hurst started his career with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as a biologist in August 1995 specializing in waterfowl management along the mid-coast. Fellow wildlife biologist Matt Nelson remembers joining TPWD at the same time as Hurst. “He went to Peach Point and I went to Mad Island (WMA), both of us worked on the central coast wetlands project,†Nelson says. “We had numerous research projects going on at the same time and spent most weeks together; fish sampling, working up alligators and mottled ducks. A lot of late nights together running around the marsh in air boats. Justin was very enthusiastic, dedicated towards the resource and approached everything full-bore.†At Peach Point WMA, Hurst was able to submerse himself in his passion for waterfowl and the marsh habitat. For six years, he built a reputation as a wildlife biologist who understood both the resource and conservation, and carried that reputation with him into conservation law enforcement. Hurst became a part of the 48th Texas Game Warden Academy and graduated in August of 2002. While at the academy, Hurst shared his knowledge about waterfowl with fellow cadets and taught duck identification techniques. After graduation, Hurst served about a year in Brazos County when a game warden slot became open in Wharton County, which allowed him to return to the marshland he cared about. On March 17, Hurst’s 34th birthday, he was killed while attempting to apprehend a suspected poacher. The Justin Hurst WMA becomes the fourth wildlife area in Texas dedicated to a fallen game warden. A special monument has been erected at Justin Hurst WMA detailing his career.

I don't know about bitter but we aren't very happy about it. I wish we could have applied some of the points from last years game to this year.

19 Days, in the teens.

Farm Bill at a Critical Juncture Hunter Harvest Expected to Drop If Programs Lose Funding Funding for conservation programs is under attack as the Senate continues their work on the Farm Bill. Programs that are critical to waterfowl population success, like the Conservation Reserve Program, Wetlands Reserve Program and Grassland Reserve Program are in jeopardy. These programs are vital to keeping more habitat on the ground and more ducks in the sky. Without these programs, we could see a negative impact on waterfowl hunter harvests across the United States. Without these programs there could be 2.2 million fewer ducks in the air every year. You Can Help Guarantee Our Waterfowl Hunting Heritage Together we can make a positive difference for our waterfowl hunting heritage. But, we all need our voices to be heard. With two simple phone calls you can help make sure the Senate Agriculture Committee does not take a step backward on conservation.

Gonna be a good one, I would like to see that game.

I said it last year and I will say it again, Vidor sure does look good on the field to lose a game so badly. They move the ball and play hard. They just can't seem to make the plays when it counts.

Impressive, Congrat Indians!

Man that is gonna be hard to find anywhere in East Texas.

Yeah, they do have an element in them. Corbon monoxide and the fumes of the pad could build up.

Here is what it looks like if you have never seen one: Looks cheesy but works well.

Anybody else try the Thermocell mosquitos repellent device? I have asked this before but couldn't find it again. Anyway, I have and it seems to work pretty good, as long as it isn't windy. But, if its windy you usually don't have to worry about skeeters.

TVC you need to hook me up with those old duck hunting spots if ya'll killed hundreds. I want to get burnt out. ;D

Oct. 10, 2007 Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting Report Weekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February. North Zone Dove: Lows reached the high 40s in the Panhandle this week, which should push migrant mourners to the region. Mourning doves continue to work corn and milo fields in the morning, and watering holes in the afternoon. Hunter participation has waned as of late. The Abilene and Knox City areas have been good in the afternoon. Soybean fields near Bogota and Paris have been fair at best. Some harvested cotton fields have held birds. Collin County fields have coughed up limits around treelines. The season runs through Oct. 31. Prospects are fair to good. Central Zone Dove: Shoots around the San Antonio area remain good for limits and near-limit hunts. Corn, milo and wild sunflowers are best bets for morning shoots and any watering source is steady for afternoon affairs. Uvalde and Hondo is fair to good, though many whitewings have been reported too high to shoot until they hit the city limits. Waco, San Saba, Brownwood and Stephenville is fair to good for mourners around water holes in the afternoon. Fields near Winnie, China, Devers, Sealy and Katy have been good around water and treelines. Cooler weather forecasted this week should deposit new birds to the region after two weeks of abnormally hot conditions. Prospects are fair to good. South Zone Dove: Willacy and Cameron County hunters have enjoyed steady shoots for whitewings in wild sunflowers, milo and corn. Drier conditions in South Texas have concentrated doves around water in the evening. Laredo, Freer, George West and Three Rivers saw limits or near-limit hunts for mourning doves and a few whitewings. Milo fields around Alice enjoyed good shoots. Matagorda County fields have been fair at best. Wharton County fields near Pierce have seen the most action. Prospects are fair to good. Waterfowl: Northeast Texas lakes, shallow flats and ponds are drying from the absence of rain during the past month; however, water throughout the region has been abundant enough to sustain the lack of precipitation. Lakes and reservoirs are beginning to see a few shovelers, gadwalls, wigeons along with blue-winged teal. The coast has received one to two inches of rain during the past two weeks, which has recharged shallow flats. Pintails, shovelers, gadwalls, wigeons and teal are on the prairie and in the marsh. Mild conditions have done nothing to prompt a migration; however, cooler temperatures this week could bring new birds. Specklebellies are arriving daily and expect more this week with the cooler temperatures to the north. Duck and goose season opens in both zones Nov. 3. The High Plains Mallard Management Unit season opens Oct. 20-21.
