LETTERS to the Editor Turkey Coverage
Amber Borel caught this nice redfish while fishing on Sabine Lake. Redfish are doing great from Sabine to Lower Laguna Madre.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUTout to the awesome turkey coverage you’ve been doing. It seems like the Texas outdoors community does little on turkeys, but you guys go super in-depth on that and so much more. It’s appreciated. I especially liked the story you did on the new Pineywoods GPS research. Killer stuff!
Jason Phillips KUDOS ON A GREAT STORY ON THE LSU/TPWD study on turkeys in East Texas. It was cool to see you guys on the front lines of that one and for pretty much everything else related to turkeys in Texas. I also liked the photos you ran of the white and smoke turkeys. Keep up the good work!
Kale Johnson DO YOU THINK THERE ARE MERriam’s turkeys in the Trans-Pecos? I mean there are some just across the border in New Mexico.
Randy Murphy Editor: it’s great to see so much positive feedback on the turkey issue. In terms of Merriam’s in the Trans Pecos, they are there but no one is sure of numbers, etc. I have heard reliable reports of Merriam’s turkeys in the Guadalupe Mountains.
Redfish Question With trout seemingly more susceptible to freeze kills, do you ever see the day where the state allows us to keep more redfish? Maybe four a day? give anglers more redfish, but the public overwhelmingly commented against it. I don’t see anything coming in the near future but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Redfish are abundant and doing well in all
