Spawning season, bass staging By Nate Skinner

For Lone Star Outdoor News

The spawning season for largemouth bass is getting cranked up across many Texas lakes and reservoirs. Smaller, buck or male bass are beginning to move in the shallows and around beds, while the heavier, female bass seem to be staging just offshore. Stretches with shallow grass and aquatic vegetation have been producing plenty of bites. Most of the larger

catches are taking place in deeper areas leading toward the shallows, such as secondary points or channel swings along creeks near the mouths of shallow coves. Kellie Renfro was fishing with her husband, Brandon Renfro, on Lake Nacogdoches when she set the hook on what she thought was a soft bite, but then gave her the impression that she had hooked a stump or some other form of underwater obstruction. “There’s this running joke with my husband that I’m always the one to Please turn to page 9

Wildfires impact ranches, small towns

By Craig Nyhus

The names of the small towns about 100 miles west of Fort Worth may not be known to many Texans, but they are to dove, duck and turkey hunters. Seven wildfires, now known as the Eastland Complex, have burned more than 54,000 acres, with the Kidd Fire in Eastland County at 42,333 acres. It was 60-percent contained as of March 22. The town of Carbon, located on Highway 6 south of Eastland, suffered much of the losses. Hunting outfitter Benny Prince said 95 percent of the town, population 348, burned to the ground. Prince owns a building in town where dove hunters meet before heading out. “My building in Carbon made it,” he said.

“I don’t know how.” Prince said his dove-hunting properties and his home have survived so far. “About a third of my land is burned,” he

Traveling wild game chef By Nate Skinner

For Lone Star Outdoor News Holly Hearn is a Texas-based wild game chef who loves to hunt and fish. Rather than serving as a chef for a particular establishment, Hearn works for herself, and travels wherever her services are needed. She is often hired by private entities or individuals to prepare gourmet meals for special occasions, events or adventures. This has allowed her to pursue her passion for cooking on many private ranches and sport-fishing vessels, all the while being around what she loves the most — the outdoors. Hearn’s work has provided her with the opportunity to meet many people, some within the food and culinary industries, whom she has been able to introduce to the outdoors. Growing up on the northeast side of Houston, her earliest memories of the outdoors began on her parents’ boat on Lake Houston. “My dad was always into big boats, and hunting,” Hearn said. “I grew up around deer hunting, but at age 14, I fell in love with quail hunting. Bird hunting was the first outdoor endeavor that I was successful at and got to do completely on my own, and I was just eaten up with it.” As she got older, she had opportunities to travel to many different places with her parents, due to the nature of their jobs. “I was able to experience the outdoors in different places,” Hearn explained. “This is what really developed my love for a variety of cultures and foods.” After graduating high school, Hearn began college but after two semesters, she decided to take a break. “I really just wasn’t happy with what I was doing and I needed to make some lifestyle changes,” she said. “I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to take in terms of a career path.” During her break from school, Hearn moved to Beaumont to work for her family’s business, and during that time she began cooking a variety of foods and found her calling in the kitchen. “I had access to freezers full of wild game, because of all of the hunting and fishing my

Quest for swimming hog on Bird Island By Robert Sloan

For Lone Star Outdoor News Feral hogs aren’t often associating with swimming long distances, but one hog made the swim from Matagorda Island to Bird Island, just under a mile, where it wreaked havoc on bird nests and eggs. Tim Wilkinson is 62 years old and has been the Audubon Coastal warden on Bird

Island for 11 years. This is the second major malfunction he’s had on the island. The first was a few years ago when he came across a 55-gallon drum that was half buried in the sand. It turned out to be full of diamondback rattlesnakes (covered in the Oct. 23, 2020 issue of Lone Star Outdoor News). Then, from May 2021 through Jan. 2022, he had to deal with hunting down a

wild hog that was eating eggs laid by ground-nesting birds that inhabit the island. Summer is the breeding season for most year-round and summer resident birds, and up to 18 species nest on Sundown Island, an Audubon bird sanctuary off Port O’Connor. One of the largest breeding colonies of brown pelicans on the Texas coast exists on Sundown Island, locally known as “Bird Island,”

and covers about 70 acres. “That hog terrorized the island for around eight months,” Wilkinson said. “He was eating eggs, birds, snakes, and at night would wander down to the shoreline to eat crabs and dead fish.” In other words, this wild hog had found paradise. But it eventually came to an end. “We had a horrible time on bird counts of ground Please turn to page 11

Turkeys running late in South Texas By Craig Nyhus

Lone Star Outdoor News

For years, South Texas turkey hunters asked for an earlier opening to the spring season after listening to the birds gobble for weeks before the opener. This season, the later opening day might have been more favorable. The good news, though, is there are plenty of birds of all ages. Chris Swift guided hunters near Goliad and said everything seemed to be a few weeks late compared with past seasons. “The birds are just getting together,” he said. “We saw huge groups of hens with a few strutters — and good luck calling them away.” Although there was plenty of gobbling coming from the roosts, Swift said the birds got quiet as the day went on. “There was no afternoon gobbling at all,” he said. The numbers of birds in the area was impressive, though, and a few hunters in the group were successful. “There were lots of jakes, jennies, and 2- and 3-year-old toms,” Swift said. Habitat conditions, although dry, were good with plenty of available vegetation. In Frio County, hunters reported lots of jakes, with mature gobblers not talking. “The mature gobblers were grouped up together, and there were large groups of hens and jakes together,” said Lone Star Outdoor News contributor Nate Skinner, who guided Jesse Bock to a mature tom. “There isn’t any green vegetation and we didn’t see any bugs, so the birds weren’t in their typical spring routines yet.” The North Zone general spring season opens April 2.

Second chance at old buck By Nate Skinner

For Lone Star Outdoor News Trey Reinhart is a hardcore archery hunter who loves pursuing axis deer. He was recently able to arrow what he considered to be the oldest axis he has harvested, while hunting on a low-fence plot of land he leases in Comal County. “The axis first showed up on one of my game cameras back in January,” Reinhart said. “On this particular piece of property, you really have to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself when it comes to hunting axis because they seem to move around so much. I might see them for a few weeks, and then

not see them again until the same time period the following year.” When the axis buck started hanging around an area where Reinhart had a blind and protein feeder, its antlers were not fully grown out. “He had some distinguishable characteristics that helped me tell him apart from the other bucks I had on camera, and I wasn’t going to harvest him until he was completely grown out,” Reinhart said. “So I took a chance, hoping he would stick around.” Fortunately, his plan worked. The axis deer maintained its regularity around the setup for several weeks.

“Once I felt like his velvet antlers had reached their full potential, I made plans to hunt him,” Reinhart said. “I was seeing him nearly every day on camera and felt confident about sneaking into the area with my bow and getting a chance.” Reinhart made two failed attempts to harvest the axis before getting a shot opportunity on his third sit in the area where the buck frequented. On the first attempt, the buck did not show, and during the second, the axis only showed for a short period of time, staying well out of range and on the move. Reinhart was able to seal the deal during an afternoon hunt that provided its fair share of Please turn to page 11

Alaska Rep. Don Young dies at 88 Lone Star Outdoor News Alaska Rep. Don Young, a stout conservationist and regular attendee at the Dallas Safari Club and Safari Club International conventions, died March 18 at the age of 88. Young was the longest-serving republican in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives, and moved to Alaska in 1959, the same year Alaska became a state. He was elected to the House in 1973. Young was campaigning for reelection, traveling from Los Angeles to Seattle when he lost consciousness and was unable to be revived. Known for his humorous and sometimes brash style, Young was instrumental in the establishment of the trans-Alaska pipeline and in the passing of the Magnuson Stevens Act. He was the former chair of the Natural Resources Commission and held strong stances on hunting rights and gun rights, often taking on what he called “extreme enviromentalists.” Young, a lifelong hunter, angler and conservationist, was a past recipient of DSC’s Bull Elephant Award. He also received SCI’s Legislator of the Year. Young was the Chairman Emeritus of the U. S. House Natural Resources Committee and DSC Life Member, and well known as one of hunting’s strongest allies in Washington D.C., promoting the idea of conservation, management of wildlife through hunting.

said. “I had plowed around my house, that probably kept it from burning. And I plowed the dove properties in February so it didn’t hurt them.” Prince said light rains were falling the morning of March 21, and he was hopeful the moisture would help contain the fires. “It burned a lot toward Cisco, and both south and north of Carbon,” he said. Several areas were evacuated, including Lake Leon, Ranger, and Huckabay. According to the Texas A&M Forest Service, the Eastland Complex fires had damaged 147 structures (including an estimated 50 homes) and Eastland County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Barbara Fenley died in the line of duty while assisting with evacuations. The complex of fires was estimated to

be 30-percent contained on March 21. Josh Irving was at his family property in Rising Star, and said they lost a barn, some equipment inside and a deer blind. “It did burn 99-percent of the property, though,” he said. “But all other structures are currently good.” The Forest Service said numerous additional fires have developed over west and southwest parts of the state since March 17. “Over the past seven days, firefighters responded to 178 wildfires that burned 108,493 acres across the state,” the service said in a March 21 release. Additionally, a wildfire in parts of Hood and Erath counties resulted in the evacuation of the town of Lipan, which was later released.

Add the garlic to the pan and stir for 45 seconds. After the garlic becomes fragrant, add 1/2 cup of stock and stir until fully absorbed. Repeat this until you have 1/2 cup of stock left over. Add the parmesan and stir into rice. Add final bit of stock and stir until fully absorbed. The process should take 18-20 minutes for the rice to be al dente. While the risotto is finishing up, in a cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp. of butter and 1 tbsp. of high-temperature oil over medium-high heat Sprinkle quail with salt, pepper and garlic. Place the quail, breast side down, and place a foil-wrapped brick on top. Sear for 2 minutes, flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Plate risotto and place quail on top. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the dish, zest a lemon with a micro plane on top of quail and risotto. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Hearn’s absolute favorite recipe is risotto. “It’s impossible to be sad when you’re eating risotto,” she said. “Also, I’ve successfully made it in rough seas, so I know that the average cook can make it at home.”

FISHING

Hooked up on spring break By Craig Nyhus

Lone Star Outdoor News Guide Garry McAninch had boats full of kids the last few weeks, and the kids, including Brandon Rushing, caught plenty of speckled trout. “It was all spring breakers,” he said. “I had a bunch of trips, mostly with kids. It was a lot of fun.” McAninch said fishing in the Galveston system is finally returning to normal. “It’s been a weird couple of months,” he said. “There have been a lot of northwest winds and no water, plus low water temps. But the last 10 days it’s been pretty much back to normal. The fish are cooperating.”

Most of the trout have been on the smaller side, but McAninch said there have been a few 4- to 5-pounders come in. “The bigger fish are just starting to show up,” he said. “They caught some 8-pounders in the Legends tournament this past weekend.” The bait of choice with the kids? “We threw nothing but live shrimp under popping corks,” the guide said. “It’s easier for the kids and I can tell when they get a bite and tell them to set the hook. I’ve been seeing popping corks in my sleep at night.” Kevin Diehl guides at Matagorda Bay, and his spring breakers had to deal with high winds. “The fishing has been decent, but the winds don’t help,” he said. “When the wind really blows, we switch and target the redfish.” Over the break, he had two 11-year-old youngsters on the boat, and the morning forecast was for more strong winds. “When we headed out, it was dead calm,” he said. “We fished open water for a few hours and caught some trout, and then the wind kicked up to 30.” One of the youngsters, Cade Smith, landed a good redfish in the morning, and then in late afternoon, the other, Christian Au, hooked up after a cast toward the bank. “He brought in a 29-incher,” Diehl said. “There was a lot of excitement on the boat that day.”

Winning team tops 38 pounds The team of Justyn Parrish, of Lago Vista, and Garrit Afman, of Canyon Lake, brought in a 12.70-pound bass during the Bass Champs West Region tournament at Lake O.H. Ivie on March 19. It didn’t even win the Big Bass payout. That went to the team of Mark Doremus, of Early, and Tim Manley, of Brownwood. They landed a 14.64 pounder to take the $500 prize. The $20,000 first place was earned by Adam Amick and Josh Beckett, both of Boerne, with a whopping 38.02 pounds for five fish, for an average of more than 7.6 pounds per fish weighed. Brian Hall, of Bronte, and Kale Beck, of Sterlena City, finished second with 31.93 pounds, earning $3,500; and the 12-pounder helped Parrish and Afman finish third with 31.50 pounds, winning $2,150. Big bass were the story, as four bass topping 10 pounds were brought in, two topping 9 pounds and two more weighing more than 8 pounds. —Bass Champs

Canada relaxes travel restrictions Fishermean and hunters planning a trip to Canada will finally have fewer travel restrictions as of April 1. Fully vaccinated travelers will no longer need to provide a negative pre-entry COVID-19 test result to enter Canada by air, land or water. Passengers may still be subjected to mandatory, random PCR testing at the airport, although they will not be required to isolate while awaiting their results. Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travelers will still need to isolate and be tested on arrival, and again eight days later. The requirement to be fully vaccinated with a governmentapproved COVID-19 vaccine remains in effect. In addition, travelers still have to use the ArriveCAN app to enter their proof of vaccination and other required information before arriving in Canada. Travelers who arrive without completing their ArriveCAN submission may have to test on arrival and quarantine for 14 days, regardless of their vaccination status. — Lone Star Outdoor News

Six species of Texas bass on fly By Robert Sloan

For Lone Star Outdoor News Texas is a diverse state when it comes to fishing, and the fly-fishing opportunities stand out. Greg Welander is a North Texas guide who specializes in one thing — fly-fishing for bass — and not just one, but six species of bass. The species include largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky (a.k.a. spotted) striped, hybrid and white bass. To say the least, Welander covers a lot of water, and over his past 24 years of fly-fishing he has found out that the bass fishing in Texas is some of the best in the world. He fishes both private and public waters, including the Brazos River, the Paluxy, a tributary off the Brazos, Granbury, the Trinity River, Whitney, Possum Kingdom and Ray Roberts. For smallmouth bass, Welander heads to lakes Whitney and Possum Kingdom. For a mix of hybrids, whites, Kentucky and largemouth bass, he’ll be on Bridgeport, a clear-water lake with a variety of bass. He can catch striped bass all

winter long on Possum Kingdom. For largemouth bass, he’ll head to Ray Roberts. “Most of what I do is fishing from a boat,” Welander said. “But there are areas where I can wade or fish from a kayak. My favorite is from my boat that’s wide and sturdy and easy to fly-fish from. It’s a

Hog Island boat that is powered by a jet drive outboard. I can fish the big water lakes, or the smaller creeks and rivers.” With his boat’s electronics, Welander said he can eliminate unproductive water and locate suspended bait balls while fishing for hybrids or stripers. Please turn to page 11

get my lure hung up on something, so after I set the hook, I really did think I had just hooked a stump,” Renfro said. Renfro quickly changed her mind as the stump she thought she had hooked started to pull. “Once the fish surfaced near the boat, we knew it was a giant,” she explained. “It ran around the boat and jumped twice before we were able to net her.” The Renfros realized they had just boated a special trophy. The bass weighed in at 13.27 pounds and became a family record for them. Renfro was throwing a lightweight Carolina rig with a watermelon-red V&M Baby Swamp Hog in 8 feet of water off of a secondary point with scattered grass, while using a spinning rod and 12-pound test line. “We had caught several fish over 5 pounds and one in the 8-pound class about a week prior in the same area,” she said. East Texas guide Wyatt Frankens said Lake Nacogdoches is holding some hefty bass. “If you’re fishing near grass, you’re in the right area,” he said. “Traditional staging areas, such as secondary points in 8 to 9 feet of water, are holding trophy-sized fish.” Shaky heads, lipless crankbaits and other reaction strike baits have been producing bass pushing double digits for Frankens on the lake. Frankens also has been fishing on Sam Rayburn Reservoir, where he said the bite has been a little more consistent. “Areas with hydrilla seem to be holding the most bass right now,” he said. “Most of the hydrilla is located from mid lake areas and to the south.” The action outside of areas with hydrilla has been slower. Frankens has been fishing

fairly shallow around vegetation and over grass, focusing on stretches with 5 feet of water or less. “Small, 3 to 4-inch swimbaits have been the ticket around shallow grass and hydrilla,” he said. “Most of these fish are males in the 2 to 4-pound range.” Anywhere there is a creek channel that makes a hard swing also has provided action. “From the mouth of major spawning creeks to the back of them, water depths from 8 to 15 feet have been producing a ton of bites from heavier, female bass,” he elaborated. “Shaky heads in natural color patterns have been hard to beat along these creek channels.” On Choke Canyon Reservoir, guide Travis Cockerham said most of the bigger fish are holding in and around the outside of drains in anywhere from 3 to 7 feet of water. “Just about all of the bass we have been catching lately have been fooled by a chatterbait,” Cockerham said. “Swim jigs have also been drawing a few strikes.” The smaller, buck bass are pushing up to shallower areas ahead of the larger females. “Most of the trophy fish are staging, waiting to move up shallow towards the backs of creek,” Cockerham said. On Lake Fork, guide Stoney Stout said there are plenty of females staging ahead of the peak spawning period. “I’ve been locating fish suspended from 8 to 15 feet of water on creek bends,” he said. “Suspending jerkbaits have been producing the most strikes for me. Spinner baits with a willow blade and Colorado blade combination in natural color patterns have also been working well.” Most of the fish Stout has been catching have ranged from 3 to 7 pounds.

excitement. “I got into the stand fairly early and didn’t really have any expectations of seeing the axis until later in the evening,” Reinhart said. “Then, about 15 minutes into the hunt, I saw him come into view. He just stood in the brush about 50 yards away without moving a muscle for almost 45 minutes. The axis didn’t appear to be spooked by any means, but he wasn’t getting any closer either.” The deer finally began to approach Reinhart’s feeder, but then stopped at about 38 yards from his blind. “He just stood there facing me for another 10 minutes or so,” Reinhart said. “I watched him for over an hour from my elevated bow blind before he ever gave me a shot.” The axis eventually came in, standing broadside at 28 yards. Reinhart drew back his bow and let an arrow fly. “To my disbelief, I actually missed,” he said. “My shot was low and went right under him. It was a clean miss.” To his surprise, the axis simply looked around a little bit, and then went back to eating. “I couldn’t believe it, because there were four other axis deer there when I shot and they all ran off,” he admitted. “I shook off my mistake, ranged him again, nocked another arrow, and took another shot. This time, the arrow hit right where I wanted it to, and I felt confident that I had made a great shot.” After trailing the axis buck for nearly 100 yards, Reinhart was finally able to put his hands on the animal. Reinhart said the buck only had eight teeth left on his bottom jaw, which included four on each side. “This was without a doubt the oldest axis buck I have ever taken,” he said. “And the fact that he was in full velvet made the harvest that much more memorable.”

nesters when the pig was on the island,” said Wilkinson, whose father-in-law, Chester Smith, was the island warden for 25 years. “During his time on the island he saw one pig that quickly disappeared.” Wilkinson said they tried everything to get rid of the big boar that in the end was estimated to weigh nearly 300 pounds. “He was becoming a problem and making wallows all over the island,” he said. “We did everything but run dogs. We got a guy out here that had killed lots of pigs that caused problems. Based on the pigs tracks he estimated that it was a boar weighing from 125 to 135 pounds when it first arrived on the island.” The attempts to eliminate the boar failed. “We used bait,” Wilkinson said. “That didn’t work. We used an electronic call. That didn’t work. We eventually used a drone with a thermal camera. We could only use it at first light. That didn’t work. We moved in a round mesh trap that was easy to relocate. We baited it up with corn. That didn’t work. We found his tracks

around the trap, but he wouldn’t get near it.” As spring approached, desperation was setting in. “The spring birds were beginning to come in,” Wilkinson said. “We set up a game camera for night photos and finally got a look at him. He was not only smart, but real big.” Wilkinson found a friend and pig hunter who owned a helicopter, and the next step in the quest for the destructive hog was planned. The helicopter took off in late January and jumped the beast. “They scared him into a wooded area and shot him with buck shot from the helicopter,” Wilkinson said. “They gave my brother and I the coordinates and we found him dead three days later.” The nest-destroying hog was no more, which was good news to the island’s warden. “I hope I don’t ever have to deal with another hog,” Wilkinson said.

Different bass Continued from page 8

“I use a Minn Kota trolling motor that can work with my Humminbird electronics with a spot lock,” he said. “The Humminbird tells the trolling motor where to go. Like maybe along a creek channel, or a ledge that drops from the shallow water to deep water. This kind of stuff was unheard of in the world of fly fishing.” Welander is not only a fly-fishing guide, but a sales rep for fly shops in Texas, and he stays on top of the fly-fishing scene. “I take both beginner and experienced people fishing,” he said. “If I book somebody that’s never been fly-fishing, I suggest we spend a couple of hours together learning the basics. In fly-fishing the main thing is to be able to make a cast from 30 to 40 feet long. That’s a big plus for catching more fish. I use mostly 7 and 8 weight rods. They are good for making a long cast and can handle big largemouth bass as well as stripers and hybrids. And they help in getting distance with bulky flies like poppers and frog imitations.” Welander uses both floating and sinking lines, with the floating line best for fishing frog flies, which are one his favorites for taking largemouth bass. For white bass, he’ll opt for a No. 6 or 8 Clouser, a minnow imitation, in chartreuse/white or gray/white. “It’s important to used flies that represent what the fish are feeding on,” he said. “For example, largemouth bass feed a lot on shad, frogs and crawfish. White bass, stripers and hybrids pretty much feed on just shad.” Toward the end of spring and the first month of summer, Welander targets bream that are up shallow spawning and on the beds. His favorite place to find big bluegill, and lots of them, are on the LBJ National Grasslands. “One of the most popular activities at the Grasslands is fishing,” he said. “It’s got large and small lakes to fish. The larger reservoirs provide largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, and catfish while the smaller lakes all contain largemouth bass, panfish and channel catfish.”

GAME WARDEN BLOTTER BOY SHOT IN LEG, BROTHER CHARGED A Burleson County game warden responded to a call of a 15-year-old male with a gunshot wound to his leg. The warden was the first officer on the scene where two volunteer firefighters and a neighbor were applying pressure to the leg, using towels and a shirt for bandaging. The warden located the wound and noted that no arterial bleeding was present, covering the wound with a pressure dressing. After a while, the bandage started to show blood saturation, so a tourniquet was applied. Additional units arrived, and the child was flown to a hospital in stable condition. After an investigation, the Burleson County Sheriff’s Office arrested the older brother for making a firearm accessible to a minor. NIGHT OF SHOOTING ENDS POORLY A Texas game warden received a call from a landowner concerned about road hunters driving near his property, shining a light and shooting guns. The warden met up with a deputy sheriff who had just intercepted the vehicle with three male subjects. In the bed of the truck, the warden found multiple loaded firearms, two dead jackrabbits, two dead raccoons and a piece of deer backstrap. After a roadside

Snakes in his pants A man who tried to slither past U.S. border agents in California had 52 lizards and snakes hidden in his clothing, authorities said. The man was driving a truck when he arrived at the San Ysidro border crossing with Mexico on Feb. 25 and was pulled out for additional inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. Agents found 52 live reptiles tied up in small bags “which were concealed in the man’s jacket, pants pockets, and groin area,” the statement said. Nine snakes and 43 horned lizards were seized. Some of the species are considered endangered, authorities said. The 30-year-old man was arrested. —USCBP

FLORIDA

Boat with 2,611 pompano over the limit The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission charged a vessel captain with the unlawful use of a monofilament entanglement net (gill net) to take pompano outside of the Pompano Endorsement Zone in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Officers with the FWC’s Offshore Patrol Vessel Program stopped a 48-foot commercial vessel, named Legacy, approximately 5.5 nautical miles south of the endorsement zone. The vessel’s captain was in possession of a gill net with a substantial amount of pompano in the net and on the deck of the vessel. Officers began a fisheries inspection and realized the vessel possessed well over the allowable bycatch limit of 100 pompano outside of the endorsement zone. Officers escorted the vessel back to Everglades City for further inspection and discovered a total of 2,711 pompano on board, weighing just under 4,000 pounds. —FWC

1 million registered boats The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced that Florida has passed the mark of 1 million registered recreational vessels across the state. —FWC

Licenses good for 1 year from purchase Hunting and fishing licenses and permits will be valid for one year from the date of purchase. All current yearly Tennessee hunting and fishing licenses expired Feb. 28. Exceptions will be captive permits, Federal duck stamp, migratory bird permits, and slat basket tags. —TWRA

OREGON

Special anti-poaching prosecutor An anti-poaching special prosecutor. Jay D. Hall, hired last month as a new Assistant Attorney General with the Oregon Department of Justice, will focus on prosecuting fish and wildlife crimes. The new prosecutor role is the final strategy of a three-prong approach legislators mapped out in 2019 to reduce poaching crimes across the state. Increasing detection of poaching through a public awareness campaign and increasing enforcement of wildlife laws by hiring additional OSP Fish and Wildlife Troopers were the first two strategies. The prosecutor will work with OSP and ODFW to locate, investigate and prosecute poachers, and support investigations and prosecutions by advising law enforcement agencies in evidence collection, case process and penalty options, and guide and assist county prosecutors in trying fish and wildlife criminal cases. —ODFW

MINNESOTA

Way too many walleye A Gilbert man pleaded guilty and paid $4,845 in fines and restitution for having 53 walleye over his legal limit in his freezer. James Dean Mattson, 60, pleaded guilty Nov. 19 to possessing 59 walleyes after being confronted by a Minnesota conservation officer. The state’s general possession limit for walleyes is six. Mattson was sentenced in state district court Dec. 10 under the state’s “gross overlimits” legislation, and paid his fine and restitution in full. The gross overlimits law was passed for special cases where poachers far exceed the state limit for fish and game, and when there is wanton disregard for the rules. —MNDNR

Department’s Turkey Program leader, areas with the best production include the southern portions of the Rolling Plains region, the Edwards Plateau, and the eastern portions of South Texas. “Much of the state had fair to good recruitment last spring and summer, and hunters should expect to see quite a few jakes,” Hardin said. “That also means there will be a lot of jennies (juvenile hens) on the landscape, which could distract gobblers and make a hunter’s calls and decoys less desirable.”
