  1. I don't recall seeing him drop many passes. Could be confusing him with another player, he has great hands. Here are 2 examples: Texas City Game Catch [Hidden Content] TD Catch in LCM Game [Hidden Content]
  2. This past weekend, Lake Amistad gave up this 46.8-pound catfish to Mike J. Scott. He tempted the fish with fresh shad soaked in almost 60 feet of water.
  3. Make your picks, lets see what or hunting population is made of. Looks like waterfowl is in the lead. ;D
  4. Tip Of The Week: Don't Confuse Practice with Sighting-In When sighting in a gun or bow, it is imperative to remove as much human influence from the shot as possible. Sighting-in is not practice - it is a process to get your equipment shooting dead-on. Gun hunters: use the best supports you can get your hands on. Sand bags or manufactured shooting rests are the best. For the ideal setup, touch the rifle as little as possible - your shoulder and trigger finger are all that are really necessary. Make sure that nothing touches the barrel itself; your sandbags should be placed under the fore-end and not the barrel itself. Bow hunters can't remove themselves from the sighting-in equation nearly as well as gun hunters, so archers should concentrate on good form. Go through a strict mental checklist to make sure everything is in order and done the same way for each shot. Both archers and gun hunters should start sighting in at short distances. Twenty-five yards for guns and 5 to 10 yards for bows is not too close. Many hunters make the mistake of moving back as soon as their shot is "on the paper." Take advantage of the short distance to really fine-tune your shot. You can make almost all your adjustments at short range. In fact, both bow shooters and gun hunters can sight in at about 1-inch high at short range and be dead on at hunting distances. Practice, on the other hand, is repeating proper technique over and over to make it natural. Where the shot hits is not as important in practice as the form of the shooter. All your emphasis and attention should be on what you are doing and not what the equipment is doing. The bottom line: sight in your equipment to make practice more enjoyable, but try not to mix the two.
  5. Old School Catfishing Jug-fishing and limblining let you fish many places at the same time — and they work. By Larry D. Hodge The Old School recreation area on Lake Aquilla near Hillsboro is hard to find, but for those wanting to pursue catfish with jug lines, it’s worth searching out. Its boat ramp gives access to areas... Read full article here: [Hidden Content]
  6. Good answer, I seem to have one of those suggestions mastered. lots of Ice Cream....
  7. A.J. Dugat - Dayton Should stand out this year. He stood out last year as a sophmore.
  8. They will start about 13 rows up and a few rows from the press box, I do believe. They have set amount of reserved seats but do not recall exact count.
  9. They should make the playoffs this year but, it will be tough for everybody. Should be a good Football year. Can't wait.
  10. Home = approx. 5000 when you take into consideration the Reserved seating(season tickets). Visitor = 3000
  11. Media Contact: Tom Harvey, (512) 389-4453, [email protected] May 7, 2007 “If You See an Alligator†Safety Tips Offered HOUSTON — Once an endangered species, the American alligator is now common in rivers, creeks, and backwater sloughs of East and South Texas. An ever-expanding human population continues to encroach upon the alligator’s domain, driving a trend of increased encounters between alligators and people. Late spring through summer is alligator mating and nesting season, when gators are more active and visible. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife biologists and game wardens stress education rather than over-reaction as a first step in dealing with gators and suggest a “live and let live†approach whenever possible. “Springtime is when alligators are most active,†said Monique Slaughter, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist who helps run the state alligator program at the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area in Port Arthur. “Courtship and mating begins in late spring and continues through early summer. April through July are peak months for nuisance gator calls.†Slaughter says most Texans in "gator country" will probably live in close proximity to these native reptiles with no confrontations. However, there are occasions when certain alligators become a nuisance and must be handled by the proper authorities. The TPWD Law Enforcement regional communications center for Southeast Texas in La Porte received 758 phone calls about alligators during 2006. A substantial number of these did not involve true problem gators, and the sheer volume of these reports is taxing available manpower and resources needed to handle the real problems. About 19 percent of these calls were handled by giving callers general information about alligators and how to safely co-exist with them, many of the situations were temporary and with patience from landowners or residents the animals simply moved on. Residential situations comprised 26 percent of the total calls, while 17 percent were in areas of high usage by outdoor enthusiasts such as hunters, boaters and anglers. “We have procedures in place where we try to educate callers that alligators are not normally aggressive, and if you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone,†said Capt. Albert Lynch, who supervises game wardens that respond to alligator complaints in the Houston area. “When you have an aggressive alligator there’s no doubt, but a lot of the calls are from people who just have no idea that there are alligators here and have never seen one before. The mere presence of an alligator is not cause for concern, and during the active months in spring and summer they may be seen in retentions ponds, drainage ditches and similar places.†Alligator experts at Murphree WMA report that 132 alligators were relocated from about 15 Southeast Texas counties in 2006, mostly from housing subdivisions adjacent to natural habitat. Relocating problem alligators is not always a viable option, and it can create greater problems, as by nature these animals are territorial and moving a problem alligator often creates a problem in a different location. Authorities say what is needed is a populace better able to recognize the few nuisance alligators and to coexist safely with the majority of alligators that are not nuisances. The current legal definition of a nuisance gator is “an alligator that is depredating [killing livestock or pets] or a threat to human health or safety†under definitions laid out in the Texas Administrative Code (Title 31, Part 2, Chapter 65, Section 65.352). For the public, the practical definition of a nuisance alligator is one that is at least four feet long and has lost its fear of humans so that it is approaching people or otherwise exhibiting aggressive behavior. The number one cause of nuisance alligators is connected with the cardinal rule for the public: never feed an alligator or allow it access to human or pet food. Once an alligator learns to associate people with a meal, it becomes a permanent nuisance, and often it must be killed, since it will be a problem elsewhere if relocated. Since October 1, 2003, it has been a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 for anyone caught feeding an alligator. In Texas, no fatalities have been documented due to alligators. In the past 20 years, there have been 19 injuries due to alligators reported to TPWD statewide, none life threatening. DOs AND DON'Ts FOR LIVING WITH ALLIGATORS Don’t — kill, harass, molest or attempt to move alligators. State law prohibits such actions, and the potential for being bitten or injured by a provoked alligator is high. Do — call your TPWD regional office if you encounter a nuisance gator that has lost its fear of people. Don’t — allow small children to play by themselves in or around water. Do — closely supervise children when playing in or around water. Don’t — swim at night or during dusk or dawn when alligators most actively feed. Do — use ordinary common care. Swim only during daylight hours. Don’t — feed or entice alligators. Alligators overcome their natural shyness and become accustomed or attracted to humans when fed. It is now a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500, to intentionally feed an alligator. Do — inform others that feeding alligators creates problems for others who want to use the water for recreational purposes. Don’t — throw fish scraps into the water or leave them on shore. Although you are not intentionally feeding alligators, the end result can be the same. Do — dispose of fish scraps in garbage cans at most boat ramps or fish camps. Don’t — remove any alligators from their natural habitat or accept one as a pet. It is a violation of state law to do so. Alligators do not become tame in captivity and handling even small ones may result in bites. In particular, never go near baby alligators or pick them up. They may seem cute and harmless, but mama alligator will be nearby, and will protect her clutch for at least two years. Do — enjoy viewing and photographing wild alligators from a safe distance of at least 30 feet or more. Remember that they're an important part of Texas's natural history, as well as an integral component of many wetland ecosystems. Nuisance alligators may be reported to the TPWD law enforcement communications center for Southeast Texas in La Porte at (281) 842-8100 or in Austin at (512) 389-4848. Information about alligators, including public safety tips, research reports and basic natural history, is on the TPWD Web site. ——— On the Net: [Hidden Content]
