INFLATED HUNTING SUIT HELPS IN STALKING WATER GAME (Mar, 1924) Source: Popular Mechanics 3-1924 INFLATED HUNTING SUIT HELPS IN STALKING WATER GAME To enable hunters to approach their quarries in deep water without giving alarm, a buoy that can be inflated with air has been attached to the upper part of a waterproof hunting suit. The wearer can paddle about with his feet, and also have a steady rest for his gun. The bag, when blown up, is about 12 inches in diameter. [Hidden Content]

I don't think the Eagles will have a tough time reloading. I don't believe in talking in terms of losing players. Players move on and there are hungry athletes waiting to get their chance.

Below 4.9 is very, very fast line. Here is an excerpt from an article on NFL.com about DB's 40 times. Excerpt from: Quick hits from Indy: Day 6 By Gil Brandt NFL.com Senior Analyst [Hidden Content] The 40-yard dash times for the first group of defensive backs were phenomenal. Among the highlights were safety LaRon Landry of LSU running a 4.32, Chris Houston of Arkansas (4.35), Leon Hall of Michigan (4.38), Michael Griffin of Texas (4.41), Tarell Brown of Texas (4.48) and Michael Coe of Alabama State (4.49). Overall, it was a very fast group. In the second group of defensive backs, 26 of the 27 ran in the 40-yard dash. The only one who didn't was Darrelle Revis of Pittsburgh, who chose not to work out. The highlights of the second group were Marcus McCauley of Fresno State and Kenny Scott of Georgia Tech with 4.35s, Eric Wright of UNLV with a surprising 4.40 and Josh Wilson of Maryland with a 4.32. Wilson, however, did not run as fast the second time. Wilson's father, Tim, was a second-round draft choice of the Houston Oilers and had a long career with the team as a fullback. If 4.4 is fast for an NFL DB, below 4.9 for a HS line is excellent.

There are alot of factors, while speed is a definite plus it does not mean that the fastest is gonna be the best. A combination of speed, strength, agility, and good field vision will determine the best. We will know about week 4 who the best RB's are for 2007.

May 21, 2007 Game Warden Field Notes The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports. Basic intelligence departs with sobriety — On May 5, A Marion County game warden arrested a subject on Lake O’ the Pines for a BWI. The subject claimed to have a college degree, but when the warden requested he recite the alphabet, the intoxicated individual asked if there was something else he could try. Acting guilty a good indication — Patrolling for fishing violations in the Horseshoe Bay area during early May, a warden decided to check some fisherman for compliance and bypassed several others to check some newcomers further down the bank. Shortly after he passed two young men, he noticed them leaving in a hurry. He had seen them arrive just a few minutes earlier. It was quickly discovered that neither had a license. Padded game warden takes on hawk — In late April, a priest in Milam County received stitches in his head after being attacked by a red-shouldered hawk. The hawk was protecting her nest in a nearby tree and was a constant threat to the parishioners and the priests. A Milam County game warden was called to solve the problem. Faced with the dilemma of protecting wildlife while also protecting the people, he came up with a plan. The warden used the city’s lift-bucket truck to get him high enough to secure the fledging hawks and relocate them to a rehabilitator so the female would leave the area. Dressed in the city dog trainer’s padded suit and his ATV helmet and goggles, the warden fended off two attacks by the mother hawk before securing the fledglings. No harm came to the warden or the hawks during the encounter. Always check the safety — A Gonzales County warden responded to a hunting accident in a rural portion of the county in early May. An individual who was walking through his property hunting varmints leaned his loaded rifle against a barbed wire fence before attempting to get beyond it. The gun’s safety was not on, the trigger caught on a barb, and the man took a shot in the lower abdomen. Luckily, the victim is expected to make a full recovery. Buyers bid on baby raccoons — On April 29, a Travis County warden responded to a call about a subject trying to sell baby raccoons on the Internet. When the warden responded anonymously to the online advertisement, the seller said there were six other interested individuals. The game warden then changed tactics and identified himself as a warden. He convinced the seller to meet him and bring the last, unsold raccoon to the meeting. The raccoon was turned over to a rehabber and charges are pending. Tornadoes not good for fishing — A Brady game warden was called to assist local police who were searching for a man reported missing on Brady Lake during a tornado threat. The boater, apparently in a kayak when the storm blew in, was found taking shelter in an abandoned boat house. All parties quickly got off the water, and the man promised never again to collect mussels during a tornado. If the mirror fits — On April 30, an Edwards County game warden was patrolling the north part of his county when he observed several knocked-down, run-over road signs. Next to one of the signs, he located a side mirror and kept it as evidence. He then proceeded to the local high school where he found a vehicle with considerable damage and a missing driver-side mirror. The warden’s evidence matched perfectly. Statements were taken from the driver and passenger of the vehicle. Twenty-one signs and one deer were run over during the teenagers’ night of destruction. Rowdy steer gets bulldogged — A Lubbock County game warden received a call for assistance from the Lubbock Police Department in late April after a 400-pound steer escaped from animal control officers and went on a rampage near downtown Lubbock. The warden arrived just after the steer had climbed over a Mercedes Benz at a local dealership. The warden and a police officer teamed up and managed to wrestle the steer to the ground. Animal control officers were then able to load and remove the steer to a more secure location. Speeding citation only skimmed surface — April 19th, a Freestone County game warden stopped a reckless driver who had been issued a speeding ticket by a state trooper less than 20 minutes prior. The subject was arrested for driving with a suspended license, possession of methamphetamine and reckless driving. When the warden asked why his truck was in such bad shape, the driver said he had intentionally run over four deer because his friends needed the meat. Later, the individual gave a videotaped statement about two of the four deer and implicated two other people. Apparently unaware of the consequences, the arrested subject also made a statement to the jailer about throwing a bag of marijuana out the window before he was stopped. Sure enough, when the warden returned to the scene, he found the ditched bag of marijuana. An additional felony charge of tampering with evidence was filed. The investigation regarding the dead deer continues. Warden prompts lawyer’s backpedal — A Kimble County game warden, continuing an open investigation on two suspects involved in harvesting an axis deer and two black buck antelopes without landowner consent, interviewed the younger of the two suspects via telephone in mid April. Shortly thereafter, the older suspect (who happened to be an attorney and soon-to-be father-in-law of the younger suspect) called the warden. The attorney/suspect accused the warden of violations of attorney-client privilege and playing favorites, but the warden wasn’t having it. He explained to the lawyer that intimidation tactics would not be tolerated and would not have any influence on the investigation. Consequently, the attorney quickly changed his tune and said they would be willing to make restitution on the animals. The warden is following up with the landowner and the county attorney to present the case. Warden gets play-by-play cell-phone S.O.S — On April 14, a Matagorda County game warden received a call from an individual who said a female friend of his and a teenage boy had called him because they were stuck in Matagorda Bay. While the warden was en route, the individual called back to let him know the stranded motorists were taking on water. A few minutes later he called again because they were sinking. He then called once more to say that they were capsized and hanging on to the keel. A rescue was made and no one was injured. Pyros or Insurance Fraud? — At approximately 1:00 a.m. on April 12, a Montgomery County game warden was patrolling near the San Jacinto River and the Spring Creek area where he observed two vehicles pull onto an isolated, dead-end lane. The warden followed, and after observing for a bit of time, one automobile suddenly burst into flames. The light from the fire made the warden visible, and the subjects quickly fled. The warden pursued and stopped the vehicle, got the driver out, and kept the other passengers at gunpoint until backup officers arrived. Investigation into the burning vehicle is ongoing. Reckless recreation endangers neighbor — A Schleicher County game warden responded to a call from a shaken individual who stated that his vehicle and house had been shot. The warden visited the caller’s residence and then proceeded to the property in the general direction from where the shots had come. There, he encountered two men and a woman. They admitted to shooting in the general direction of the complainant’s house, which was clearly visible, but stated they did not think the bullets would travel that far. They had also shot numerous holes into a nearby vacant house. The warden picked up 179 empty 9mm shell casings and counted 79 holes in the wall of the vacant house. SB 2007-05-21 [Hidden Content]

Its that time of year again. If anyone is interested the Wallisville project (Area around Trinity River and I-10) permit entry process has started through June 30. I can email the information to you if you are interested.

Vindicator Article [Hidden Content] Congrats!!! HD

3 is a good number. In some districts the 3rd place teams are better than alot of district champs in other districts. We want our local districts to go as far as they can, whatever team it is. It is to our local advantage to let as many of our kids in the playoffs as we can. Flood the market.

It hard to get hunting interest up in the summer.

I don't know, I guess it kind of died out. We don't get alot of people on the hunting forum. We should all try to spread the word a little more. Maybe?

9 Tips For Hunting Scent Setups by T.R. Michels Most hunters use scents to attract bucks. Remember that adult bucks responding to scent invariably try to get downwind to check the scent and to detect danger. Also remember that adult bucks try to remain in cover. You can setup in the cover if you are sure the buck won't detect you. Try to position yourself crosswind of the buck's travel route to avoid detection. If there is nearby cover the buck will use, and a more open area crosswind of the cover, setup in the open area. Give the buck the cover while you wait in the area it won't use, and where you won't be detected. You can also setup downwind of the buck's approach while luring the buck to a position upwind of you. If you are archery hunting be sure to place the scent close enough for a shot. If you have to setup upwind of the buck's approach take extreme precautions to avoid detection. Don't put your stand in a direct line with the buck's line of travel; you may be seen. For the same reason you should keep your stand site a comfortable distance from the trail itself; far enough away to avoid detection, but close enough for a shot.

Deer In September by T.R. Michels [Hidden Content] The Pre-Rut / Rubbing Phase and Transition Phase In September all of the deer are bulking up for the rut and winter; feeding on alfalfa, clover, green forbes, ripening soybeans and corn in some areas, and mast (acorns, beechnuts). Put out mineral licks and deer attractants in areas where you want deer to come to during the hunting season. Early in the month the bucks should be shedding velvet, and creating rubs and scrapes near late summer nighttime food sources. They may be still traveling together, and may begin sparring at this time. Later in the month both the bucks and does may move to fall home ranges. With their testosterone levels rising the bucks are less tolerant of each other, fighting may begin, and the buck groups break up as the bucks begin to establish breeding ranges. Scout to find out where the deer currently are; watch food sources for feeding deer and sparring bucks to determine what the bucks look like. Continue clearing deer trails, and shooting lanes. Hang portable stands for the archery season. Antler Growth If you want to see more large racked bucks in your area the first thing you have to do is use a little restraint. You must let the young bucks go so they can grow. I often hear hunters complain that they see nothing but small racked bucks in their area. These hunters often wait patiently through the season for a big racked buck to appear. Then, instead of going home empty handed they end up taking a small racked buck. If this pattern continues year after year those hunters will see nothing but young, small racked bucks, because the young deer never live long enough to grow large racks. Age and Antler Size Deer experts used to believe it took 4 1/2 years for a whitetail buck to develop a trophy rack. it is now believed that a whitetail doesn't achieve full body size until it is about 7 1/2 years old. Until that time much of the food and mineral a buck takes in is used to develop bone and muscle mass. Once the buck is fully mature excess food and mineral can be used to develop antler mass, and many hunters equate antler mass with a high score. A close look at any scoring chart will reveal that it is the number and length of tines that makes up the majority of inches needed for the rack to score high enough to enter the record books. The difference between a massive rack and a thin rack might only add 10 inches, which is 1/14 of a 140 class buck, not enough to really matter. Milo Hanson's world record whitetail has several tines with extremely long points and main beams, with a good spread, but it is not massive. The length of the tines is what made it the new world record. Game officials aged the buck at 4 1/2. Obviously it had superior genetics, and it lived until it was 4 1/2 years old. It is conceivable that a 3 1/2 year old buck could make the archery record book, but, most trophy bucks are over 4 1/2 years of age. In many areas bucks don't make it past their first year, and the chances of a 2 1/2 year old buck making the book are slim. If you want to see more trophy bucks you have to let the 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 year old bucks go, so they can grow. By letting the young bucks grow, and taking does, you not only keep the herd below carrying capacity, you increase the buck to doe ratio in favor of bucks. Eventually you will have more older bucks, which may translate into more trophy deer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About The Author Author: T.R.

Spring Cleaning by Rod Haydel [Hidden Content] With this season behind us we must now start preparations for next year. Decoys need repair, motors tuned up, and don't forget our calls need attention as well. Most calls will have some build up of saliva, mud, and rice stubble, pieces of sandwich and worse tobacco. Take the time to carefully remove these by running warm water through the backside of the call. Flossing between the reeds and sound tunnel. Check your reeds; any, which are bent or chipped, should be replaced. Calls that get above average use should usually have the reeds replaced once a year. Please take note on how the call is tuned before taking it apart. Even scribe the surface of the barrel and tunnel with a sharpie it need be. It will ease the frustration of putting the call back together and give you a starting point. When tuning a call, keep these things in mind: Shortening the working length of the reed will raise the pitch and make it a little easier to blow. Lengthening the reed; the opposite is true. On double reeded calls reeds need to be flush to one another with the dimpled reed on top. After your call is back in shape just don't throw it in a sock drawer, practice! A good time to do this is in the car going to and from work listening to an instructional cassette or CD (keeps the wives happy). You do however get some strange looks from other drivers at times. I like to mess with other drivers in front of me at a light. I've had them completely miss the light looking around for that duck! Summer is also a great time to get your kids started calling! You can work with them yourselves or even invest in a video to get them started off on the right foot. One very important point is to start them off with a good call not a squeaking hand me down. This will only develop bad habits. A good double reed is easier to get results. It is important in learning to call to limit the length of your session to about fifteen minutes. Fatigue and boredom will lend at no will to poor calling skills. The most important thing I try to stress is that if you're not getting the desired sounds; change the way you're blowing. That means mouth position or how you attack the note. Lots of people I work with have a problem changing their style and get the same undesirable tones. The DUCK is in there you just have to find it! Until next time look behind you at the next light — Tika- Tika- Tika!

;D They are living in a fantasy land. I didn't know they still had that over there.

THis guy seems to know what he is talking about. Good article.

Decoying Woodies by Rod Haydel [Hidden Content] Can you really call in Wood Ducks? I wish I had a dime for everytime I've been asked that question! In doing seminars all across the country, I've found that hunters seem to stand firm in their beliefs that wood ducks can not be decoyed in with calls. Wood Ducks, or Squealers as they are often called are very widespread throughout the United States. As a matter of fact, they sometimes are the only duck hunting that waterfowlers are subjected to in their local areas. Wood Ducks tend to migrate about the same time that most states observe their yearly Teal seasons, This is not just a coincidence, but rather planned intentionally so that waterfowlers have more opportunity to hunt Wood Ducks. Often hunters will elect to "jump shoot" them on creeks, or even " hunt the roost". However, I would like to suggest a method in which you can hunt the entire season rather than shooting the roost since that often only last a few days at best. This method evolves hunting near a roost (not in the middle of it), and then calling the birds in to you. Here's how it works. Set up in their flight pattern by scouting out an area both early and late. Wood Ducks usually have certain travel routes they take day after day which takes them between their roosting and feeding areas. Roost areas should be avoided because these need to be safe resting areas in order for the birds to consistently keep using them day after day which takes them on their daily commutes. Many hunters are familiar with the traditional "wheet-wheat" squeal that a woodie makes in flight and most call manufactures know these sounds as well as they produce these types of calls. These calls; because they are fairly loud, are effective in getting the attention of the Wood Ducks, But woodies have a much wider range in their vocabulary. Just listen closely to a roost one morning and you'll be surprised at the various sounds you'll hear. Most of these roost- type sounds can be achieved by choking down your call with your hand and modifying the way you blow into it. When I'm hunting woodies I'll usually get their attention with that "wheat" sound and then switch over to a completely different call such as the Wood Duck Whine. I have often times seen woodies produce this sound and once they get a response, They will then swim over to the rest of the flock. The WW-90 is a very soft call that cannot be heard at a great distance and it simulates a locating sound that the ducks make usually after they land. This is definitely the call of choice when the birds are within 150 yards. Try and watch them key in on this sound! Also, using a few decoys will certainly help in having a visual. The key word is "few" since it doesn't take many to make a difference. So, while you may not ever get woodies to respond as well as Mallards to a call, the proper techniques of calling them can open up a whole new way in how you hunt. Plus you will find it much more enjoyable as well. Perhaps the only problem you may encounter when the subject arises is proving to your buddies that a person can indeed call a Wood Duck. Come to think of it, That may not be a problem at all since there is a little ham in all of us! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About The Author Author: Rod Haydel Email: [email protected] Web Site: [Hidden Content] Details: Rod Haydel currently serves as president of Haydel's Game Calls.

Tips for Birds at the Buzzer by Steven Frambes [Hidden Content] While waterfowl seasons across the county begin to come to a close, hunters may start to feel a little bit of pressure as time starts to run out. Competing with crowds and getting pressured birds to cooperate may be frustrating to say the least. Here's a few tips and tricks to help you bag your limit of birds before time expires. Knowing when and how to call is essential in waterfowl hunting. With more calls on the market now than ever before, ducks and geese are starting to become call shy due to the hundreds of hunters that have honked, quacked and whistled to them along their distant journey. Calling to frequently will turn birds away, and will give them more of a chance to listen and study your call. Try calling once birds are spotted from a distance to grab their attention, once the birds are moving towards you, sit back and watch your decoys work. The only other time you should need to call now is if the birds spot something “fishy†and decide to turn away. Giving a few quacks or honks will sometimes change their minds and offer you another chance. Keeping a close eye on the weather and watching if any storms are headed you way is also a good factor to consider while hunting later in the year. Storms coming from the north will often push new ducks into your area that aren't as weary, and just want a place to rest. Decoys are an invaluable tool in the waterfowl world, and often is the difference between having a tasty meal, or going home skunked. Try setting out a smaller decoy spread consisting of only a few birds. The birds may feel more comfortable landing in small groups, and a larger decoy spread gives you a larger margin for errors and mistakes that can turn shy birds away. Place the decoys well within your shooting distance and leave a piece of open water or land between your decoys so the birds will land right in your face. Don't forget that ducks and geese land into the wind. It is critical that you have the wind at your back at all times. Watching and paying close attention to the ducks as they are coming in tells you if you need to critique or change your spread. Ducks that often circle but never commit is a hint that something isn't right. Now before you take a step out that front door, take a good look at yourself in a mirror, and make sure that you are covered from head to toe in camouflage. Ducks are underestimated for their amazing eyesight, and have been known to pick up the glow of a face from 1 to sometimes 2 miles away. Wearing a mask or putting on face paint will help in breaking up the human outline. Since your hands are constantly moving using calls and reaching for your gun and other equipment, make sure to bring along a pair of gloves as well. Know the habitat and the vegetation that surrounds the selected area that you are going to be hunting so you can buy your camouflage accordingly. If your hunting marshes with lots of cattails, or a field with 4 inches of snow, having a pattern such as sage brush or fir trees, probably isn't the best idea. Spending that few extra dollars for good quality camouflage, is well worth it. It may be close to the end of the season, but it's not to late to go out and grab your limit of waterfowl. Putting in time and effort will surely pay off in the end. Be mobile and be prepared to move your blind and decoys quickly, as mother nature often throws dirty curve balls.

Poor fellas only get 3 bucks. :'( :'( :'(

Conservation board to discuss possible vote on 3-buck limit Friday, May 18, 2007By ALAN CLEMONSTimes Outdoors Editor [email protected] Deer restrictions could be first for state in 40 years Generations of hunters accustomed to liberal daily bag limits during deer season could find changes on the way during Saturday's meeting of the state's Conservation Advisory Board. The board will meet at 9 a.m. at the Huntsville Museum of Art. It is expected to address and possibly vote on a proposal for a 3-buck limit, a tagging system for deer and turkeys and stiff penalties for anyone caught without a tag being filled out following a successful hunt. It also may hear information about high fence enclosures in the state, which restrict movement of wild animals and create a controversial situation involving landowner rights versus state regulation of those animals. That buck limit proposal was made at the board's February meeting, with members requesting the formation of a committee of biologists and others to study any ramifications to the state's hunters and estimated 1.5 million whitetail deer population. That committee reportedly recommended a 2-buck limit or 3-buck limit with hunter's choice, or a 3-buck limit with two deer being hunter's choice on rack size and the third needing at least 4 points on one side. Alabama's liberal policy is unique among the Southeast, with other states having buck limits or antler restrictions - or both - in place. The topic is controversial among hunters. Some want tighter restrictions and others want status quo, with no government intrusion into what they see as a personal choice. Hunters currently may kill two does, or female deer, a day or a doe and buck if it has an antler that has broken through the hairline. The season, counting the archery season that opens in October prior to firearms season, is roughly 110 days, one of the longest in the nation. Advisory board member Dr. Warren Strickland of Huntsville has been an outspoken proponent for changes to the current regulations. "I feel the board wants a change. I will be surprised if we don't have some changes in the way we manage deer in Alabama," Strickland said. "I can't say I have polled them. Of course, we all talk between sessions and I really feel ... I think it's going to pass. It's time for a change. We have a great deer herd and we need some more management. I think we're in a unique situation with enough deer to provide more opportunity for hunters to have a chance at a quality buck. You shouldn't have to leave Alabama and hunt somewhere else for that opportunity." Strickland was unsure about specific details, but doubted that a check-station system would be put into effect initially. He said a license tag hunters would sign could be used, and that a telephone or Internet check-system could be considered. Mississippi uses a tele-check system, while Tennessee still has a check-in station program. A statewide buck limit would be the first in at least 40 years, said Gary Moody, chief of the Wildlife Section with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. When whitetail numbers were smaller hunters had stricter limits and few opportunities for killing does. That changed in the late 1960s and 1970s. Since then, more liberal regulations have been enacted and hunters have become more aware of managing wildlife and habitat. "We have a different attitude about hunting and, naturally, it will continue to evolve," Moody said. "We're harvesting fewer bucks than years ago by over 50,000 a year. Our surveys show hunters are killing about 47 percent bucks to 53 percent does, and at least 60 percent of hunters, but probably more, are limiting their choice on bucks in some manner. "They're doing it through club rules or individual choice. We're seeing a tremendous attitude shift and hunters are understanding more about deer management through numerous sources available to them." Discussion about buck limits has been contentious through the years, with some Conservation Department officials steadfastly opposing any changes. Strickland said he expected that and discussed it with top officials. "This is going to be a huge change for our Conservation officials," Strickland said. "They have not been very happy and we have met some resistance. I really feel they have come around. I think they see the changes coming, that the winds of change are coming quickly. "There is no doubt in our mind the Conservation officials are going to work with the board to make sure the changes are executed. One of their big and very valid concerns is the state is short about 19 game wardens, and whether they would have to money to help execute these changes. That's why the license increase bills are so important in the legislature." Moody said if buck limits are enacted they will not be the single key some hunters believe will create monster bucks. It is a puzzle, he said, with many pieces that include habitat, management, allowing bucks to mature and helping reduce population numbers through doe management. "There is no single magic bullet," he said. "I encourage them to meet with a biologist to discuss goals, what to do and how to meet them. This is not going to happen in a year. You have to get started ... deer populations don't just come around overnight." [Hidden Content]
