Hefty sand trout frenzy

For Lone Star Outdoor News Sand trout don’t receive much attention from the saltwater angling community.

However, when large quantities of them are schooled up, with many reaching sizes worth filleting, the species becomes a subject worth talking about.

Recently, Portland resident Jesse Drewa was fishing with his college buddy, Devin Leissner, in Corpus Christi Bay when the duo landed 15 sandies that measured more than 15 inches in length.

“We were fishing over some deep rocks in about 20 feet of water along the edge of the La Quinta Channel in the northeast corner of Corpus Christi Bay where we had originally

Mom’s big buck Woman takes giant at 87 years young

By Craig Nyhus

Lone Star Outdoor News Laura Berry has previously won the Muy Grande Deer Contest

with a buck she shot in McMullen County, and has won several other categories.

This year, at age 87, she’s leading again with the buck she shot over the weekend at another South Texas ranch, the Gloriosa Ranch.

The deer was 7 years old and had 24 scorable points on each side, with five points broken off.

“It had so many points it looked like a porcupine,” Laura said.

“I knew about the deer,” said her son and ranch owner Marty Berry. “She saw it the day before

but didn’t get a shot.”

The deer was unusual, in that its body was small.

“It only weighed 126 pounds,” Marty said. “But he had a big rack.

He covered nearly a third of the ranch; you never knew where he was going to be. I think it was

Google rejects hunting advertisements Texas ranch has ads removed for reason of animal cruelty

By Craig Nyhus

One Texas hunting ranch, owned by Brent Oxley, who made his fortune with a website hosting business, believes people at Google are unfairly targeting hunting ranches.

On Oct. 26, the Ox Hunting Ranch in Uvalde was notified by Google that they believe an ad promoting bongo hunting promoted animal cruelty.

Google cited ads for dog fighting and cock fighting as examples.

Oxley replied, requesting the matter be forwarded to Google’s legal team.

“I’ve read your policy and what is happening here is a clear case of your enforcement team overstepping Google’s policy and enacting their own prejudice and interpretation unfairly against our business,” he wrote. “Animal cruelty is a very serious accusation that you’re making not only against Ox Ranch but over Please turn to page 16

HUNTING

Great deer with rifle, bow

By Craig Nyhus

Lone Star Outdoor News The general deer season opened Nov. 3 across Texas, with a large percentage of the estimated 700,000 deer hunters pursuing the 4.5-5 million white-tailed deer in the state.

In some counties, hunters witnessed behavior suggestive of the rut, while farther south, some deer were still at the tail end of their summer pattern, with a little bit of tussling going on between younger bucks.

Deer movement improved with a cold front and wind switch during the opening weekend, especially when the cloud cover came.

In Houston County, Dustin and Kayla Rogers both bagged their bucks, with personal bests for both of them.

“The bucks had their noses to the ground and were moving fast,” Dustin said. “I made a grunt call and a buck came looking for trouble. He was a wide and heavy 8-pointer.”

His wife had success the next day while hunting with her father on another property.

“She was hunting an oat patch and saw the buck come from two fences over,” Dustin said. “He was a main frame 8-pointer with a kicker.”

Bucks were reported chasing does in Palo Pinto and Erath counties, but to the west near Rising Star, little movement was reported.

On the Managed Lands Deer Permit Uno Mas Ranch near Bandera, Bo Shrum, of San Antonio, had been hunting a specific buck with his bow for the better part of a month.

The ranch benefits from a breeding program, but the bucks are released as fawns and left to live a natural life on the ranch.

The wide 9-point main frame buck had been seen and Shrum’s patience eventually paid off.

“I probably had seven sits over three weeks trying to get him,” Shrum said. “He either came in too early or stood around at 70 yards and waited until dark and then came in closer.”

The day of the hunt, he came in too early again and left.

Teal dominate coastal prairies opener

Sandhill season underway out west

By Nate Skinner

For Lone Star Outdoor News

Lone Star Outdoor News

The opening weekend of the South Zone duck season resembled an extension of the early teal season for waterfowl hunters on coastal rice prairies. There were more than enough birds to go around, and the majority of them were blue-winged teal.

Owner and operator of Red Bluff Prairie Hunting Club Mike Lanier was not surprised when the majority of his parties bagged their limits on opening weekend by filling straps with bluewings.

“If someone would’ve asked me a decade ago what the chances of harvesting limits of blue-winged teal on opening weekend were, I would’ve probably laughed in their face,” he said. “In recent years, however, there seems to be a growing trend of bluewings hanging around later and later into the first split.”

The weather on opening day felt a lot like teal season, too. Air temperatures warmed up quickly under the bright sun and bluebird sky, plus there was very little wind.

Jackson Taff and his father, Michael, hunted with Lanier on one of his operations’ ponds in the heart of the Garwood prairie on the second day of the season. Their friends, David Fanta and Bobby Lewis, joined them and the group was met with drastically different conditions compared to the previous morning. This required them to adjust and adapt their game plan in order to be successful.

Sandhill crane season opened in Zone A covering the Texas Panhandle and far West Texas on Oct. 27, and outfitters are reported having success.

Thumbtack Ranch, established by Trinity Oaks, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will become the first ranch in the U.S. to be designated as a Purple Heart Ranch by the National Military Order of the Purple Heart.

A formal ceremony recognizing this Purple Heart designation will take place on Nov. 9 in Georgetown.

MOPH Texas Capital Chapter 1919 in Austin and Alamo Chapter 1836 in San Antonio made the joint nomination based upon Trinity Oaks’ support to combat wounded service members and their families during the past several years.

The nominations were endorsed by the Texas Department of MOPH, and a proclamation was presented to the Texas Senate for signature. The Texas Senate Proclamation will also recognize Trinity Oaks as a “Purple Heart Supporter” organization.

Thumbtack Ranch is Trinity Oaks’ 2,000-acre sportsmen’s paradise located in Batesville. The ranch serves as the primary venue for Trinity Oaks’ hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities.

“A front hit right at shooting time,” Taff said. “The wind began howling out of the north, blowing directly into our faces. As if this wasn’t enough, heavy rain followed and it poured for about 15 minutes before the birds ever started flying.”

Taff said that once the rain let up bluewinged teal began swarming the pond they were hunting.

“The birds were flying from all directions, but they weren’t decoying well,” he elaborated. “The birds’ behavior showed us they didn’t like what they saw, so we decided to lay tucked up against the levee on the edge of the pond and face the direction the ducks were continually flying from. This put the wind at our backs, along with the water, and it was the perfect setup for getting shots at teal that we may not have even seen if we would’ve stayed in the blind.”

El Campo outfitter and hunting guide

Steve Biggers, of Rocky Creek Retrievers Team Waterfowl, said his ponds were covered up with blue-winged teal on opening weekend as well.

“Our hunters harvested a few big ducks like gadwall, spoonies and redheads, but for the most part bluewings provided the most consistent action,” Biggers said.

To the east of the Houston Metroplex, outfitter Will Beaty, of Central Flyway Outfitters, said his hunters were able to harvest a mixed bag of duck species after the front arrived near Winnie on the second day of opening weekend.

“From our marshes to our flooded fields and stock tanks, our hunters experienced success across the board during opening weekend,” Beaty said. “There were plenty of blue-winged teal crashing into the decoys at shooting time, but it seemed like more and more big ducks and geese began to show up after the front passed.”

Commission may consider statewide five-fish limit A potential regulation change would reduce the speckled trout limit to five fish from Matagorda north to the Louisiana border.

Photo by Lone Star Outdoor News.

Possible speckled trout limit change Lone Star Outdoor News At the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission November meeting, a potential regulation change to the spotted seatrout limit will be discussed.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s coastal fisheries division is recommending a five-fish speckled trout daily bag limit coastwide.

Currently, the five-fish limit covers all waters south of FM 457 in Matagorda County, and the potential change would cover waters to the Louisiana border.

“It’s not a proposal submitted at this

time,” said Lance Robinson, the deputy director of TPWD’s coastal fisheries department. “It is presented as a preview of statewide potential proposals.”

An official proposal would be presented at the commission’s January, 2019 meeting.

Middle coast high water reds

By Robert Sloan

For Lone Star Outdoor News The good news is that all the water that moved down the rivers to the middle Texas coast put redfish on a big-time bite that lasted about two weeks. The bad news is that all the rain, upwards of 40 inches around Port O’Connor, caused a major hatch of mosquitoes, big ones that learned how to suck blood really fast.

But as of Nov. 1, the area received its first good cold front. That helped to cull the mosquitoes, but also moved all the high water out of West Matagorda Bay and San Antonio Bay out of Seadrift.

“It was a very good bite while it lasted,” said longtime POC angler Frank Bradford. “We started out catching daily limits of reds up around Greens on West Matagorda Bay. Then we slowly moved our way south to the Army Hole and on down to San Antonio Bay.” At the Army Hole, wading and throwing soft plastics worked best.

“The water was so high we were wading on Please turn to page 15

Choke Canyon catfish kick into gear

For Lone Star Outdoor News

Alfred and Linda Sekula team up to fillet catfish they caught using stink bait at Choke Canyon Reservoir. Photo by Robert Sloan.

October rains washed out a lot of dove hunts, but it was the best thing that fishermen at Choke Canyon Reservoir have seen in years.

The rivers and creeks feeding into this South Texas hotspot brought the lake level up 15 feet, making it 52 percent full.

That 15-foot rise flooded miles of brushy shoreline that had been high and dry for years, and will likely jump-start catches of bass, crappie and catfish.

“It’s definitely helped the fishing here,” said Alfred Sekula, who along with his wife Linda, just bought a house about a half-mile from the Choke Canyon State Park boat ramp. “This is a very good lake for catfishing. The rise in the lake level will definitely help us catch more catfish.”

But it’s changed the way a lot of catfishing anglers on this lake catch blue and channel cats.

“We normally fish in the creeks,” Linda said. “But with all this high water, we’ve moved out on the points. That’s where we have been catching lots of blue catfish in the

18- to 19-inch class. We don’t set out trotlines or jug lines. It’s all fishing on the bottom with stink baits. It seems to work well during fall and spring when we do a lot of fishing here.”

The bait they use is Big Marv’s Punch Bait and is made in Gillet.

The most popular is the cheese bait. You tie on a treble hook, drop it in the bait container and punch it down with a stick. The bait wads up on the hook. Then, you add a weight and drop it down to bottom.

Fish impact minimal from flooding Hill Country rivers, especially the Llano, Colorado and Perdenales, experienced epic flooding in October.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists do not believe the flooding will impact fish populations.

Hill Country rivers naturally experience periodic floods and droughts, and fish native to those systems are adapted to persist under those conditions. During floods, some fish will be After heavy flooding along Hill Country rivers, biologists expect the fish displaced downstream populations to survive and return to their normal haunts. Photo by TPWD. while others avoid being swept away by hunkering down behind boulders, wood, or other structures in the river channel, which offer a refuge from high current velocities.

“Recent fish tracking studies conducted by TPWD and Texas Tech University on the Colorado and Trinity Rivers showed that some species of fish seek refuge in smaller, calmer tributary streams during floods, while others move into the slower moving waters on the floodplain,” said David Buckmeier, director of the TPWD Heart of the Hills Fisheries Science Center. “Once the rivers settle back down, fish will often move back into the same reaches of river that they previously occupied.”

While receding flood water can leave some fish stranded on land, as was seen at Lake LBJ, fisheries biologists do not expect these localized fish kills to cause an overall decline in fish populations in rivers and reservoirs of the region. In fact, access to nutrient-rich floodplains during flooding can provide a boost to some fish species by increasing foraging opportunities and providing access to important spawning habitat.

While many anglers have expressed concern about the fate of Guadalupe bass, biologists believe the floods will ultimately result in positive outcomes for the official state fish.

“Floods benefit Guadalupe bass habitats by clearing out excess sediment, rebuilding gravel bars and riffles, and adding boulders and woody debris to river channels, enhancing habitat quality for Guadalupe bass and other sport fishes,” said Tim Birdsong, chief of Habitat Conservation for the Inland Fisheries division.

Team USA wins in Mexico At the 14th Annual Black Bass World Championship on Lake Cuchillo near China, Mexico, Team USA won the gold medal with a total weight of 135.36 pounds for two days and a total of 49.5 penalties.

There were 15 countries represented, each with three teams of two anglers. Each team was assigned a group and penalties were assigned based on performance. If you finished first for the day, you got 1 penalty point. If you finish 10th, you got 10 penalty points.

On day two, the team of Terry Bolton and David Dudley led the charge with a five-bass limit that weighed 25.41 pounds. Scott Martin and Scott Canterbury followed up their day one catch of 34 pounds with another limit weighing 23.63 pounds, and James Watson and Fred Roumbanis fell off their 30-pound-bag pace from day one with a day-two catch weighing only 4.6 pounds.

The combined team effort was enough to win the event by 34.5 penalties and nearly 40 pounds over the teams from Mexico, with the Italy teams finishing third.

Team USA used a combination of flipping trees in 8 to 12 feet of water and fishing deep with crankbaits and worms.

GAME WARDEN BLOTTER DOING THE RIGHT THING A Val Verde County game warden visited a large local meat market/ cold storage processing facility recently purchased and reopened by new owners. The new owners requested to have a game warden come by and inform the new staff of the rules and regulations they need to follow.

POOR CHOICE OF PLACE TO PARK Along the boundary of White Oak Creek Wildlife Management Area, game wardens observed a vehicle parked along the shoulder of Interstate 30 next to the Sulphur River, which is not a legal access entry point for the WMA. About 30 minutes after sundown, two men came out of the woods holding shotguns.

The two subjects had been hunting for hogs and both received citations.

WELL-EQUIPPED ROAD HUNTERS At approximately 12:45 a.m., a Houston County game warden caught a group of four individuals using a spotlight and rifles outfitted with thermal scopes while hunting from the roadway. Cases are pending.

TRAMPOLINE USED TO HOUSE FAWN An anonymous Operation Game Thief reported a fawn being kept captive under a trampoline at a Smith County residence. The game warden located the fawn being held under a trampoline surrounded by chicken wire. Appropriate citations were issued.

DEPUTIES CATCH TWO OF FOUR POACHERS Two of a group of four individuals hunting deer at night from the roadway were detained by Brazos County Sheriff’s deputies. The deputies informed game wardens of two other individuals who ran and were armed. The two detained suspects were booked into the Brazos County Jail for warrants and

COOLER WITH OVERSIZED REDS People keeping oversized red drum were reported in Matagorda County near Sargent. Game wardens found two individuals in possession of three oversized redfish measuring 33-40 inches. The fish were found inside a cooler. Charges and civil restitution are pending.

NEW HUNTER LOST IN FOREST In the Sam Houston National Forest, a San Jacinto County game warden approached a vehicle and found a hunter waiting for his buddy. The man said it was their first time hunting public lands and they had become interested in hunting after watching Lone Star Law. He had been waiting on his friend for a couple of hours and was worried he might be lost. The man led the warden to the location he had hunted and said his friend had been hunting approximately 100 yards away. After about an hour of searching, the missing hunter was located in a thicket and safely returned to their vehicle.

hunting without landowner consent after a doe was found dead, and hunting white-tailed deer at night and from a vehicle. Later, the names of the two suspects who ran were obtained, and warrants are being issued.

THOSE DARN SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS A post on Facebook showed a 15-point deer taken with a bow during a hunt near Laredo. A Webb County game warden saw the post and photos and verified the shooter’s name and information.

The individual was from Louisiana and had harvested the deer without a hunting license. When the subject was questioned regarding the harvest of the deer, he denied hunting and requested the warden prove he had. After the warden advised him of the photos he had obtained, the man apologized and admitted to harvesting his trophy deer without a hunting license. Cases and civil restitution are pending.

SPEARING LARGEMOUTH While patrolling Longhorn Dam on the Colorado River, a Travis County game warden observed an individual with two gutted largemouth bass, a homemade spear gun and a Hawaiian sling. The individual admitted to using the spear gun to catch the bass and not having

a fishing license. He said he knew it was illegal but he wanted some bass because it was getting late in the season. Multiple citations were issued and the fish were seized.

MAKING HIS OWN INVITATION In Concho County, game wardens assisted in a trespassing case. An irate landowner explained a flatbed trailer, an ATV and two empty bow cases were located on his property.

With an idea of who the suspect might be, the individual was found to be checked in at a nearby motel.

Game wardens and a sheriff’s deputy located the suspect, his girlfriend and the girlfriend’s brother.

The suspect had been invited to hunt on the property the weekend before but did not have any luck.

The landowner agreed to take the suspect on another hunt but explained he had prior commitments the following weekend. The suspect later decided to invite himself to the deer camp that weekend not knowing the landowner’s brother would be in the camp.

PERMIT BUT NO LICENSE At Lake Georgetown, a game warden observed a subject operating an unregistered ATV on a public road with a bow and arrow. When stopped, the operator said he lived nearby and came back from hunting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ land and did not have his permit with him. The man did have a valid permit, but he did not have a hunting license. He was cited for no hunting license and operating an unregistered motor vehicle on a public road.

FROM TEXAS TO CANADA Game wardens helped solve a case regarding a mule deer taken in Canada. After being notified of a mule deer possibly being harvested by a South Texas individual, a Webb County game warden interviewed the subject and determined the location of harvest. The Canadian Ministry of Environment identified the area as being a closed area for hunting. The subject said he no longer had the trophy mount and had given it to a family member in Mexico. U.S. Fish and Wildlife contacted the suspect and obtained the mount, which scored 216 inches.

To avoid criminal charges in the United States, the suspect agreed to testify against the outfitter and guide in Saskatchewan.

Heading to the jetty Angler’s boat in shop, finds success from rocks

By Tony Vindell

For Lone Star Outdoor News For the last 30 years or so, Ron Stone and his family have been making an annual trip to South Padre Island for dual purposes.

He calls it fishing while his wife, Ginger, says it‘s vacationing.

Stone said they have always chosen the whole month of October for their trip.

This year, they came to the island hauling a 24-foot bay boat to fish the Lower Laguna Madre.

Unfortunately, the boat found its way to the repair shop.

Stone, still wanting to fish, made a trip to the jetty and joined scores of anglers trying to hook an invasion of redfish and black drum during the last week of October.

Stone situated himself on a spot about halfway along the jetty. And a little past noon, he walked back to his vehicle holding three redfish measuring 24 to 26 inches.

Stone said he generally catches what he calls the usual suspects Austin angler Ron Stone landed his three-fish limit of redfish off while here — speckled trout, a red the South Padre Island jetty. Photo by Tony Vindell, for Lone here and there and a few mangrove Star Outdoor News. snapper. But he’s never had such success with redfish from the jetty.

Stone said their annual trip to the island has been a family affair. He started coming with his wife and, as time went by, they brought their children. Now they bring their grandchildren.

Three days later, Stone returned the jetty as his boat was still in the shop.

He landed a 24-inch flounder using a live finger mullet.

“I caught this large flounder at the jetty,” Stone said. “I had never caught a flounder before off the jetty.”

Leissner landed two smaller-sized mangrove snapper on back-to-back casts while fishing with live shrimp along the bottom near the rocks and riprap below his boat.

rains, it only averaged 13,056 acres for the past two years.

It’s located on the Frio River in the Nueces River Basin, about 80 miles south of San Antonio. The reservoir has a history of substantial water level fluctuations.

In a 2017 Texas Parks and Wildlife Department fisheries survey on Choke Canyon, it was found that blue catfish numbers remained high with a wide size range of fish. Angler success for blue catfish was high and anglers harvested an estimated 40,156 fish. However, channel and flathead catfish were present in low numbers.

Choke Canyon State Park is a great place to camp along the shoreline of the lake. There are air-conditioned cabins available along with tent and RV sites. There is an excellent boat ramp in the park. But if you go, make sure to take along all the gear and supplies you’ll need. There are no marinas on the lake and the nearest store is about 15 miles away.

what used to be dry land,” Bradford said. “The tide had flooded into the mangroves. My best bite was on a rat-tailed Deadly Dudley in a golden croaker color. It was a good bite on a 1/8-ounce jighead for a slower fall.”

The best bite for slot-sized reds was farther south on San Antonio Bay. “We moved down there as the water level slowly began to fall,” Bradford said. “We set up on drains that were loaded with shrimp and mullet.

The bite was best early on top-waters, then I went back to a croaker-colored Deadly Dudley.”

Bill Evans has been fishing out of Seadrift and doing best on reds by fishing the backwater lakes on the south side of San Antonio Bay. “We were drift-fishing on an outgoing tide with Mirrolure Top Dog Jr.’s up shallow and catching limits of reds within the first two hours of daylight,” he said. “While the tide was still moving out, we fished the mouths of the drains with Mirrodines with a black back, orange belly and silver

sides. That’s where we also caught some nice trout that were feeding mostly on small finger mullet.”

The most dependable redfish bite after a good front moves through will be at the mouth of a drain, or in the deeper holes in some of the backwater lakes, according to Fred Anderson.

“As the water begins to move out with the north wind, reds will definitely move off the flats and into deeper water,” he said. “We had limits of reds on November 1, while fishing the back of the Army Hole. The high pressure had moved in, and with the falling tide we fished in 7 feet of water with jigs and live croaker. We caught a lot of undersized reds. But two of us ended up with a nice box of slot reds and one trout weighing about 4 pounds.”

Those heading to the Army Hole may want to stay in the boat for now. Several fishermen reported seeing a big alligator hanging around the south end, up on the flat in about 4 feet of water.

DSC adds three chapters The DSC Chapter network, now three years old, has added three new chapters: DSC Oklahoma, DSC Texas Panhandle and the East Texas Sportsman’s Club, aka DSC East Texas, The additions bring the total number of chapters to 11.

Boasting nearly 150 members, DSC Oklahoma will service the entire state of Oklahoma.

Recently, the chapter brought in television producer, hunter and host of DSC’s Tracks Across Africa, Dave Fulson, to speak to an enthusiastic crowd about leopard hunting with a video presentation.

The Texas Panhandle Chapter was chartered, bringing in a seasoned and dedicated group of hunters from the Texas Panhandle.

The chapter has already scheduled its first fundraising banquet for February 9, 2019.

The East Texas Sportsman’s Club is led by chapter president Bill Gandy and his wife, Barbara.

“If we are to be successful in passing along this most precious resource of hunting to our children, we must get them involved so they can learn all about the challenges we face and how to deal with them,” Gandy said.

Van team takes high school event The Van High School team of Grant Housden and Justin Pierce topped 136 teams at the Texas High School Bass Association East Division tournament on Lake Palestine.

On a tough fishing day, with clear skies and warm temperatures, the team weighed in four fish totaling 13.5 pounds.

Oakwood’s Trisdon Bynum and Bastion Pickens finished second with 12.64 pounds.

According to the team, most of the fish bit early on top-waters and buzzbaits, but once the day brightened, fishing was difficult.

100 million Americans.”

Oxley, the ranch owner, started Hostgator while in college at Florida Atlantic University, and the company grew to having more than 1,000 employees and $100 million in annual revenue. The company sold in 2012, and Oxley purchased the Ox Hunting Ranch.

Since owning Ox Ranch, Oxley has been very active with internet promotion, spending more than $1.6 million in the past few years, according to his posts.

“Our hunting and gun rights are under attack,” he said. “It’s a big internet, but unfortunately, the bulk of the traffic is controlled by a few companies that have anti-gun and hunting agendas.”

Oxley said a prior video was pulled from Youtube of two giraffes mating, with YouTube calling it beastiality.

“According to this logic, Animal Planet is the most vulgar network on TV,” he said.

Oxley also reported videos from others for testing purposes, but those videos were not pulled and no response was received.

In the hundreds of comments to posts by Ox Hunting Ranch, a number of other posts reported the removal of posts related to hunting and firearms.

“But about 45 minutes later, he came back in behind me to chase some other bucks away,” Shrum said. “I took the shot at 26 yards and it went through both lungs.

He ran 135 yards and went down at the edge of the field I was hunting.”

The buck was 27 inches wide.

“We think he was at least 6 years old,” Shrum said. “We had him at 184 inches.”

Coy Sako of Uno Mas Ranch was happy the years of effort had paid off.

“I’ve been to Wyoming several times for pronghorn, and I’m going on a cow elk hunt in New Mexico later this month. And I have gone fishing at the coast with advertisers in the paper.”

Gore’s bull elk hunt will take place soon with the H3P Ranch in Cooper.

FLW College winners The East Texas Baptist University duo of Brett Clark, of Center, and Cody Ross, of Livingston, won the YETI FLW College Fishing tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir with five bass weighing 19 pounds, 3 ounces. The victory earned the school’s bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship.

The team fished a sharp drop that was 4-feet deep on top, with their boat sitting in 20 feet. With no luck at first, their boat wouldn’t start. However, they started catching fish on a worm and finished their limit at that spot.

Texas A&M University’s Connor Whisenant, of The Woodlands, and Carter Henderson, of Tyler, finished second with 15 pounds, 2 ounces; followed by Henderson State University with 14 pounds, 6 ounces.

NATIONAL WASHINGTON, D.C.

Act signed to protect waters The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 – which includes the Water Resources Development Act of 2018 — was signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.

The bill authorizes key dredging programs, Everglades restoration projects, the use of new technologies to detect and prevent harmful algal bloom outbreaks, projects to combat aquatic invasive species and streamlines U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ procedures.

—Staff report

Skipworth nominated to head Interior President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to nominate Aurelia Skipwith to be the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Skipwith currently serves as deputy assistant secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks in the Department of the Interior. Previously, she served as assistant corporate counsel at Alltech, Inc. Skipwith is the first African-American, and third woman, to be nominated to the position.

ALABAMA

Officer honored The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council presented the 2017 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award to Senior Conservation Enforcement Officer Kyle “Bull” Rabren with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Marine Resources Division.

In 2017, Rabren participated in 817 vessel boardings, intercepting nearly 3,000 commercial and recreational anglers and assisted in 107 state and federal citations or cases. In one interception, 88 sharks were seized totaling 2,733 pounds.

—ADCNR

Cobia minimum limit increases After hearing public comment at its October meeting in Mobile, Alabama, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council chose to modify the commercial and recreational minimum size limit for Gulf cobia in federal waters.

The Council selected to increase the cobia minimum size limit to 36 inches fork length.

The Council decided to address Gulf cobia management measures after numerous anglers expressed concern for a perceived decline in the Gulf cobia population. Increasing the Gulf cobia minimum size limit to 36 inches fork length is expected to reduce landings by 10.3 percent for the commercial sector and 26.1 percent for the recreational sector.

ARKANSAS

Tagged crappie mean cash Crappie anglers on Lake Dardanelle may be able to win cash if they notice a special yellow tag behind the dorsal fin of fish they catch in the next few months. Fisheries biologists with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission have been busy netting and tagging several hundred crappie with special reward tags as part of a study on the crappie fishery.

According to Nicholas Feltz, AGFC fisheries biologist in Russellville, the project will help biologists learn more about crappie survival in this section of the Arkansas River and how the fishery changes throughout the year.

Cash prizes range from $5 to $100.

Anglers must call the number on the tag to claim their reward.

NORTH DAKOTA

Democratic Party sends misleading warning to hunters Ads traced to the North Dakota Democratic Party appeared to warn hunters if they show up at the polls they may miss out on the next hunting season. The ads stated, “Attention Hunters: Voting in North Dakota could cost you your out-of-state hunting licenses.”

The North Dakota secretary of state and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department said they couldn’t think of any reason why voting would endanger a hunting license.

TENNESSEE

Record black bear harvest likely Tennessee hunters have harvested 551 black bears since the season opened Sept.

22. The record of 589 black bears was set in 2011.

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Black Bear Program leader Dan Gibbs said an increasing black bear population and a spotty acorn crop this year may account for the high harvest.

It is estimated there are approximately 7,000 black bears in the state.

Quite the buck Continued from page 1

because he was so small — he was always getting bullied around.”

His mother has been a dedicated hunter as long as Marty can remember.

“I sat in the blind with her when I was 5 years old, and shot my first deer with her when I was 6,” Marty said. “She hunted every day. If you didn’t want to go, she was still going.”

On the fateful day, they looked at 15 bucks waiting for the deer to show up.

“We only have eight blinds on the ranch,” Marty said. “It doesn’t make it easy when you’re hunting a particular deer.”

The deer finally showed, and Laura made the shot with her .300 Weatherby Magnum.

“It was 7 minutes later than when I saw him the day before,” she said. “After I shot him, I was shaking so bad I thought I could be having a heart attack.”

After the shot, there was time for a few photos and then a trip.

“Marty gutted the deer and we went straight to Muy Grande,” Laura said.

Marty describes the Gloriosa as his personal ranch, with a specific management plan.

“We cleared the deer off the place and brought in does and 24 bucks,” he said. “This was almost 10 years ago. All of the deer on the place now are wild bred and born.

If you start off with the right foundation, feed them and have good water, you can have big deer.”

Another key is to let the deer get old enough.

“This buck was 240 inches two years ago, but I knew he was going to get better,” Marty said.

He also knew his mother was up to the task.

“She can stay in a blind all day,” Marty said. “She’ll do 25 hunts to get a certain deer. She stays in the blind and doesn’t want anyone to come near her or the blind.”

Marty plans to submit the buck for the Big Game Awards.

“It meets the criteria completely,” he said.

His mother will just keep hunting.

“She told me she was going home to rest for a few days, and then going to McMullen,” Marty said.

Laura said it was the calendar that made her go home for a few days.

“I had to go vote,” she said. “If I had thought about it sooner, I would have voted early so I could keep hunting.”

Even though Laura has shot a lot of big deer and done a lot of hunting — she still shoots live pigeons competitively — this deer had her excited.

“I was as excited as when I shot my first deer 40 years ago,” she said. “Never in my life did I expect to shoot a deer like this.”

Texans take IFA Redfish championship Kevin Akin, of Corpus Christi, and Dwayne Eschete, of Alvin, weighed four redfish totaling 35.31 pounds to win the 2018 championship event for the IFA Redfish Tour presented by Cabela’s at Hopedale, Louisiana.

The team won a Ranger 2260 Ranger Bay Boat prize package powered by a 150-horsepower Mercury outboard valued at $43,795, plus $3,825 in cash.

Akin and Eschete fished in the Venice and Pointe á la Hache areas.

“We knew we were in a good area,” said Eschete.

“It was all about being patient and waiting for the fish come to us and not try to force it. We didn’t see the bigger fish that we thought we would see.”

The team caught their fish on a scented mullet imitation in black and chartreuse and white and chartreuse.

Britt Ordes, of Pearl River, Louisiana, and Travis Land, of Seguin, finished second with a two-day total of 33.65 pounds to win $4,046.

Dark Horse still making suppressors

New company name, location Lone Star Outdoor News Candys Adams (formerly Hemphill) wants people to know that Dark Horse (formerly Dark Horse Arms) is up and running.

The suppressor company became known for its fully suppressed rifles in .22 and .308.

Then based in Coleman, the company has moved to an all-new shop in Santa Anna.

“Now, we’re doing a bunch of new stuff,” Adams said. “The top seller is the 6.5 Creedmore and we’re doing more AR and precision rifles.”

Paperwork is part of the deal when purchasing a suppressed rifle or a removable suppressor.

“We can do everything here,” Adams said. “We do the fingerprinting and the photos. You can come and shoot and play, and we’ll take care of everything you need

to file to get your permit and meet the requirements of the National Firearm Act.” Dark Horse became a favorite of shooters and hunters, but founder Brent Hemphill died in Oct., 2017.

His ex-wife, Candys, reentered the picture to get the company back on track.

“I took over in January of 2018,” she said. “All of his orders needed to be finished out by June.”

Then, with current husband, Doug Adams, they started building the new shop in March of this year, and moved in by June.

In addition to the manufacturing facility, the new shop and grounds provide areas for shooting and a gun room.

“We just want to let everyone know we’re still here,” Adams said. “We’re focusing on some new, high-quality stuff. It’s been a rough few years but we’re back on track.”

A new logo has been developed, along with a new website, txsilencers.com.

You’ll need to call ahead to shoot or purchase your new firearm, though, as there is no sign above the door at the shop.

Candys and Doug Adams now operate Dark Horse out of a new facility in Santa Anna, making fully suppressed rifles and handguns. Photos from Candys Adams.

BUG BITE THING: An angler can easily throw this compact and easy-to-use suction tool into his tackle box. It painlessly and effectively extracts insect venom from under the skin to eliminate the itching, stinging and swelling that result from the bites and stings of mosquitos, bees, ants, hornets and more. When the irritant is removed, the problem is eliminated and the body stops producing the reaction that causes the itching and swelling. The reusable Bug Bite Thing sells for under $10.

DIGITAL MAPPING APP: Fishidy offers anglers an interactive digital mapping platform that hooks them up with proven fishing spots. This platform is a one million-member strong social network that has partnered with Fishing Hot Spots, a premium mapmaker. Fishidy’s premium subscription at $49.99 a year offers access to researched fishing hot spots, mapped bottom composition areas, and fish-attracting vegetation and structures plus the ability to connect with over a million other Fishidy users. Additionally, its offline mapping feature allows anglers to download maps to their mobile device, so if there’s no internet connection on the water, they will still have access to their maps.

>> HANGING JUDGE GAMBREL AND DIGITAL SCALE: Ranew’s Outdoor Equipment offers hunters who process their own game a secure way to hang, weigh, skin and quarter large game at a convenient height. This device keeps the carcass suspended off the ground to ensure the meat stays clean. Hunters can measure live weight and dressed weight and continue skinning or processing the animal without damaging the scale. This removes the need to raise and lower the animal to remove the scale between steps. Its MSRP is $69.99.

FOAM-FILLED REDHEADS: Avian-X describes its life-sized decoys, which are built to withstand rugged open water conditions, as “indestructible.” Core-Loc technology fills each bird with marine-grade foam to 100-percent capacity to leave zero extra space for unwanted water. Carefully selected head positions and body postures mimic the natural personalities of these open water divers. Fill them with shot, and the decoys will keep floating with lifelike movement on a weight-forward swim keel. A set of six redhead decoys costs about $120.

ARMADILLO LT GAITERS: These lightweight, high-performance gaiters by Hillsound are constructed from breathable material to keep outdoorsmen’s feet dry. Features include 1,000 denier nylon on the bottom of the gaiters to protect against scrapes and punctures; a waterproof YKK zipper that gives the gaiters a snug fit; and a breathable three-layer fabric on the upper half that offers four-way stretch.

The gaiters sell for under $50.

Spotted seatrout continue spawning during hurricane New findings from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute show some important fish species are able to continue spawning even in a severe storm.

“This data gives us a little insight into how key species will handle changing and unpredictable conditions,” said Christopher Biggs, a Ph.D. candidate studying fisheries ecology and lead author on a paper published in Biology Letters.

Biggs and a team of scientists from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute and the University of Florida discovered that spotted seatrout kept spawning in late August 2017, even as the eye of Hurricane Harvey passed overhead, bringing with it windspeeds of up to 134 miles per hour and a storm surge of 8-10 feet.

“These fish are resilient and productive, even in the face of such a huge storm,” Biggs said.

“On land, it was complete destruction, but these fish didn’t seem disturbed.”

The scientists study spawning patterns and behavior by placing underwater microphones in known spawning locations and leaving them there to record what follows.

Seatrout are actually not trout but a type of drum fish, and males make a distinct pulsing noise when spawning. The sound allows researchers to map and observe changes at spawning sites.

In reviewing recordings captured in 2017, the scientists were surprised to find that the fish were spawning every day during the spawning season. And when Hurricane Harvey hit, they were more surprised that the storm did not disrupt the spawning. The only difference was that immediately after the storm, the fish began spawning 2.5 hours early. Over the course of the five days after the storm, the spawning patterns returned to normal.

them pretty much daily,” said Jeremy Zint. “We’re seeing good numbers hitting the peanut and wheat fields.

In other areas, milo or any kind of sorghum fields are working.”

Zint uses both full-body and windsock-style decoys to help bring in the birds.
