PARKS AND WILDLIFE
Texas hunters had one of the worst opening
weekends on record for hunting accidents as
three hunters were killed and six were injured.
Another man died in a boating accident during
a hunt.
Opening morning in Llano County, a 48-year-old
man was shot in the chest with a .270-caliber
rifle after his hunting partner mistook him for
a turkey. The same day a 15-year-old was mis-
taken for a deer and shot in Palo Pinto County.
Also on opening day, one man died in Jasper
County when he and two companions were walking
bake to their vehicle and one of the companion's
gun discharged as he attempted to unload it.

The other death will be counted as a boating

ing trip opening day in Red River County.
Three hunters, a man, his son and his grandson, 300-400# @ 90o00-120o00
were trying to cross a slough in a boat with a 400-500# @ 85.00-110,00
deer stand. They overloaded the boat; it turn-
ed over, and the son drowned. Reports said
the slough was only about 50 feet across and
the hunters were about half way acorss when
the accident happened. The man who drowned
was wearing insulated coveralls, rubber boots
and had a gun slung over his shoulder, all of
which contributed to his drowning.

a woman shot a deer and her husband went into

father-in-law the deer was coming out of the
brush and the father-in-law shot the man in
the brush in the arm. In another accident, a

the animal on his four-wheeler and was shot
by his brother who was in another stand. The
bullet went through the four-wheeler's fender
before hitting the 48-year-old in the leg.
On November 3rd, in Cass fcounty, a man and his
grandson were hunting deer, they crossed the

The number of accidents is;,,surprising to some
because Texas hunters have shown to have been
much more careful the past few years. There were beef production
only 8 fatalities in Texas, last year, the first
time Texas had ever seen less than 10 fatalities
in a year. The three previous years had seen 12
fatalities a year. The 53 hunting accidents in
1990 tied 1979 for the lowest on record.
■ Consumers should serve beef
roasts at their holiday meals. That’s the
message in a checkoff-funded point-of-
purchase promotion that begins Nov.
11 and runs through December in more
than 25,000 retail outlets, saysthe Meat
Board’s Beef Industry Council.
■ Expect fed cattle cash prices to be
held in the $70-$73 per hundredweight
range through the second quarter of
1992, says John Nalivka, an economist
with Sterling Marketing Inc., in a KRF
News report. The culprits are abundant
competitive meat supplies and ample
