Wintering Goose Numbers on Texas' Coastal Plain Down
from the Houston Chronicle
 The arch of Texas coastal marsh and prairie from the Louisiana border to near Victoria hosts the largest wintering populations of snow geese in the nation, providing some of the best goose hunting opportunities around. No state sees hunters take near the quarter-million or so “light” geese annually bagged like Texas does. But there’s a nagging undercurrent of uneasiness concerning the future of goose hunting on these areas. More

Managing Feral Hogs not a One-shot Endeavor
from Media Newswire
More than 2 million feral hogs roam Texas. Managing them will take more than just a few hunters, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialist said. An increasing interest in feral hog hunting leases and guided hunts might be a silver lining to the problem, but it certainly won't solve the entire problem. They offer landowners, however, a way to recoup some of the money lost to the damage they do. More

Anti-gun Politics Detrimental to Wildlife Conservation Efforts
from the Las Vegas Review-Journal
As the new year dawns, America's sportsmen and the wildlife resources we treasure face an uncertain future. Sportsmen face two primary issues. On one hand is our collective concern for the future of the constitutional right to own the firearms we use for hunting and personal protection. On the other is concern for the future of wildlife and wild places. Public access to those wild places is as much of an issue as protecting them. What most people don't understand is the vast majority of funding for wildlife and wild places is tied to personal firearms ownership. More
Cameroon is No Place to Break Your Back
from NRA Hunters Rights
One of the great thrills of hunting in Africa is the experience of spending an entire night in a tree blind, waiting for a lion or some other animal to come to a bait or waterhole at dawn. The sounds that waft up from the darkness below are mesmerizing—grunts, snarls, scrapes, cries, tiny clicking sounds of hooves. Over the years, I have spent many a night in a tree blind in Africa, but none as momentous as the night of May 5, 2005. I was in Cameroon, West Africa, that night with professional hunter Dougie Stephenson. The animals we were hoping to see at daybreak were a western buffalo and, if we were lucky, a forest sitatunga.

Charged by a Gizzly
from American Hunter
Mark Matheny carried a longbow into the Montana wilderness in September 1992 with his long-time friend Dr. Fred Bahnson. Snow had fallen overnight, lying white under aspens flaring autumn gold. Early that morning Bahnson downed a 4-point mule deer in the crisp air and they smiled and felt triumphant. As the sun rose the snow melted, softening the earth, letting them slip silently along hoping to see more game. Matheny was leading as they emerged onto a wooded bench. He saw two grizzly cubs run away. Then their mother charged. More
