AUSTIN, August 24, 2011 - Hunters who need to take the mandatory hunter education course are urged to start looking for courses in their area now as classes are expected to fill up quickly leading up to dove season Sept. 1. Terry Erwin, coordinator for hunter education at TPWD, said courses are scheduled daily, so he advises interested hunters to check the calendar online frequently for the latest updates of courses in their area. By law, the agency is required to offer the hunter education course at least once in each county every year. “Nobody in the state should have to drive far to find a course,” Erwin said. Hunters can take the traditional two-day course that must be spread over a minimum of ten hours during that time, or they can opt to take the knowledge-base portion online then attend one day of training in the field. The hunter education course costs $15, but there are often separate facility-use or range fees associated with the course. To pass the course, students must take a 50-question written exam and get 70 percent correct if they take the traditional two-day course or 80 percent if they take the course online. The certification is valid for life and will be honored in all other states. A new law created by the 82nd Texas Legislature exempts active duty military and certain veterans from the live fire component of the course. Anyone born after Sept. 1, 1971, is required to take the Hunter Education Training Course to hunt in Texas, and individuals as young as 9 can take the course. Because TPWD prints proof of hunter education certification on Texas hunting licenses, hunters who have already completed the course are no longer required to carry their hunter certification cards with them into the field. Hunters who purchase a hunting license prior to taking the course and those who received certification in another state should still carry proof of completion. Hunters who are at least 17 years old and have not completed the hunter education course can defer completion for one year. However, hunters who took a deferral must complete the course before they can hunt legally this season. “The deferral is only available once,” Erwin said. “The license point-of-sale vendors are not allowed to sell a deferral once it has been purchased by an individual.” A database keeps track of hunters who have previously opted for a deferral and will not allow a second deferral to be sold to an individual. As a result of hunter education courses, hunting-related accident rates in Texas have noticeably decreased since 1966 when 12 accidents per 100,000 hunters were reported. This rate has decreased to 2.9 accidents per 100,000 hunters during the last four years. In fact, based on 100,000 participants, football players are more than 390 times likely to be injured in their sport than are hunters. “Our focus is to keep students safe in the field,” he said. Erwin said the agency is also looking for volunteers to become certified instructors of the hunter education course.

I know FB won... And we had some really heavy hitters on defense. Our defense is not as powerful this year, not yet anyway.. So I dunno...  :-\ [/quote] I think it was like 6 to 3 or somthing like that, i know it was a low score game.

Anyone know how humble did last night? I see them goin pretty deep this year.

Bragging rights on the line! ;D And maybe a potential first round playoff match.

What station will this be on?

AUSTIN, August 17, 2011 - Dry conditions don’t necessarily equate to bad dove hunting, wildlife biologists with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department suggest. An extended drought across much of Texas could be beneficial for dove hunters as birds will have to rely upon limited resources. Water, especially in close proximity to dove feeding areas, should be at a premium heading into the Sept. 1 dove season opener. “Dove hunting over a water source should be excellent," said Corey Mason, TPWD dove program leader. "Additionally, dove may be concentrated on food sources, so if you can find a stand of sunflower, goat weed, etc., hunting should be productive. Native food sources are going to be more important this year because agricultural crops aren’t as good as years past." Biologists say the drought will have some impacts on dove populations, with the greatest being on juveniles. However, they do not expect significant impacts to what hunters will see this fall. Texas boasts fall dove populations in excess of 40 million birds and its 300,000 dove hunters harvest about 6 million birds annually or roughly 30 percent of all doves taken in the United States. Texas dove season in the North and Central Dove Zones will run from Thursday, Sept. 1 through Sunday, Oct. 23 and reopen Friday, Dec. 23 through Sunday, Jan. 8, with a 15-bird daily bag and not more than two white-tipped doves. The South Zone dove season will run Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Oct. 30, reopening Friday, Dec. 23 through Monday, Jan. 23 with a 15-bird daily bag and not more than two white-tipped doves. The Special White-winged Dove Area will open to white-winged dove afternoon-only (noon to sunset) hunting the first two full weekends in September running from Sept. 3-4 and 10-11 and reopen when the regular South Zone season begins on Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Oct. 30 and again from Friday , Dec. 23 through Thursday, Jan. 19. The Special White-winged Dove Area season takes four of the allowable 70 days, so when the regular season opens, this area must close four days earlier than the rest of the South Zone. During the early two weekends, the daily bag limit is 15 birds, to include not more than four mourning doves and 2 white-tipped doves. Once the general season opens, the aggregate bag limit will be 15. Dove hunting also has a major economic impact, contributing more than $300 million to the state economy, according to published reports. Dove hunting provides an entry into the sport of hunting because it is relatively economical and accessible. Through its Public Hunting Program, TPWD offers affordable access to quality hunting experiences with the purchase of a $48 Annual Public Hunting (APH) Permit. Permit holders have access to more than 100 hunting units leased from private landowners specifically for dove and small game. A new online map feature allows for “virtual scouting” of these areas. By clicking on the locator points, you can follow links to detailed aerial maps with highlighted boundaries and links to information pages from the APH information map booklet. A downloadable Google Earth file (.kml) is also available that contains all the boundary information along with links to the corresponding APH map booklet pages. Hunters are reminded that in addition to a valid Texas hunting license, a state Migratory Game Bird Stamp, and certification in the Harvest Information Program (HIP) is required. HIP certification is offered when you buy your license and involves responding to a few simple questions about your migratory game bird harvest during the previous season. Hunting licenses expire annually on Aug. 31.

Waterfowl Facing Warm, Dry Welcome to Texas AUSTIN, August 12, 2011 – This year’s exceptional drought could have significant impacts on waterfowl this fall as habitats these migrants rely upon continue to degrade under a hot, dry Texas sun. The upshot for hunters: it won’t be a banner waterfowl season in Texas, but those who are mobile and do their homework have a shot at decent and even potentially great waterfowl hunting in some places. Between 5-to-6 million waterfowl on average call Texas home over the winter and this year’s migration is expected to be huge due to excellent habitat conditions throughout the breeding grounds in the Dakotas and southern Canada. Unfortunately, these birds will likely get a warm, dry Texas welcome when they begin arriving in September. “The same weather pattern that has left us high and dry has continued to bless the entire waterfowl breeding grounds up north with tremendous amounts of moisture,” says Kevin Kraai, waterfowl program leader with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “We’re projecting duck numbers as good as we have ever seen.” According to this year’s duck breeding population survey, which is conducted annually, most duck species are enjoying substantial gains. Shovelers, redheads and bluewinged teal reached record highs and pintail surpassed 4 million for the first time since 1980. Weather projection models indicate very little relief from the drought in Texas heading into September’s early teal season and dry conditions will have a severe impact on migration for months to come. And while the Aug. 4 NOAA U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook shows intense drought continuing in most of Texas through October, the forecast also shows a possibility of some improvement along the Texas coast. “The drought has impacted the wetlands, marshes, reservoirs, ponds, creeks and bottomlands across the state,” Kraai notes. “Natural food production will most certainly be limiting in many areas.” The playa wetlands associated with the High Plains are another story all together. This drought has left these shallow water bodies high and dry now for months. What little vegetation that remained or attempted to grow in these wetlands has mostly been utilized by cattle grazing simply because it is the last green succulent vegetation available on the landscape “It’s a bit too late for plant growth and seed development, so if and when it starts raining, the most important factor in successful hunting for ducks and geese in the High Plains will be water in close proximity to available irrigated waste grain,” Kraai predicts. “If things stay the way we see it now, those areas should be largely associated with more reliable water sources near urban areas and feed lots.” The impacts of the drought on Texas’ primary waterfowl wintering area along the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes have been severe. Marshes are dry and those areas still holding water have become extremely salty. The high salinities are crippling fresh and brackish marsh vegetation, and adversely impacting even some of the more salt tolerant vegetation. “The whole system is just not going to yield the food resources that we would like to see,” says Kraai. “But, the dry conditions are aiding in control of some of the less desirable plants, like deep-rooted sedge, cattail and phragmites, and drought has even allowed land managers the opportunity to open up some densely vegetated wetlands by disking and mowing areas previously impossible to access by mechanical means.” If conditions do not improve, duck hunters could see birds “flaring” before they even cross the border into Texas. Waterfowl have an uncanny sense of assessing habitat conditions during migration and could bypass the Lone Star State entirely. “They don’t just fly blindly in a traditional direction hoping that they will find favorable conditions just because that is where they were last year,” says Kraai. “They will set their migration sights to where there is ample food and water.” A good example of waterfowl responding to habitat conditions was illustrated with recent telemetry data that showed a hen pintail on the coast of Louisiana that reverse migrated more than 500 miles in the dead of winter to Missouri in response to a flood event that created tons of very productive new habitat. “Waterfowl have a tendency to know where the best habitat on the landscape can be found to carry out their annual life cycles, often from hundreds of miles away,” says Kraai. Absent suitable habitat in Texas, waterfowl have plenty of options — head east to the Mississippi Flyway, stay further north or even south to Mexico. “The ones that do venture to less the productive habitats we are expecting in Texas this fall are expected be sensitive to disturbance and hunting pressure,” Kraai predicts. “They will certainly have the potential to leave in quick order for greener pastures. Assuming no significant changes in weather, our wintering waterfowl in Texas are up for grabs by our neighbors this winter. On the positive side many of the Texas wetland ecosystems need periods of dryness for some annual seed producing wetland plants to germinate. So, receding reservoirs and ponds across the Rolling Plains and Blackland Prairies may be a potential bright spot, assuming the rain finally comes this fall and winter. The record populations of redheads and much improved pintail populations point to potential great waterfowling opportunity among seagrass beds in bays and estuaries along the middle and lower Texas coast. “Dryness tends to concentrate waterfowl in the more favorable places and I feel very confident that there will certainly be some hunters in parts of the state that will have excellent waterfowl hunting for no other reasons than the lack of water concentrating birds in some places and the sheer magnitude of the fall waterfowl flight,” says Kraai. “There is always water somewhere in the state of Texas and some of it will be near good food resources like peanuts, rice and corn. I am confident some fortunate landowners and hunters that receive rainfall or have access to water either from wells or irrigation canals are potentially going to experience a season they will soon not forget. Scouting and mobility during the season will be key this to successful waterfowling this coming year.” PROPOSED WATERFOWL SEASON DATES PENDING APPROVAL OF THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION 2011-2012 WATERFOWL HUNTING SEASON DATES (Shooting Hours: one half hour before sunrise to sunset) Ducks Zone Hunt Type Dates High Plains Mallard Management Unit (HPMMU) Youth Gun Oct. 22-23 Regular Gun Oct. 29-30 and Nov 4 -Jan 29 North Youth Gun Oct. 29-30 Regular Gun Nov. 5 -Nov. 27 and Dec. 10 -Jan. 29 South Youth Gun Oct. 29-30 Regular Gun Nov 5 � Nov. 27 and Dec. 10 -Jan. 29 DUCK DAILY BAG LIMIT: The daily bag limit for ducks is 6 and can include no more than 5 mallards only 2 of which may be hens; 3 wood ducks; 2 scaup (lesser scaup and greater scaup in the aggregate); 2 redheads; 2 pintail; 1 canvasback and 1 dusky duck (mottled duck, Mexican like duck, black duck and their hybrids) after the first 5 days (See below for “dusky” duck season dates).
