Trapping and distributing of
wild deer oy the Texas Game. Fish
and Oyster Commission next win-
ter is expected to keep apace with
other progressive moves made by
the Department. A total of 100
deer traps have been ordered
built. Twenty-two were construct-
ed and used with great success
last winter in the Hill Country
The Department, despite a late
start with the new traps, captur-
ed more than 100 deer and trans-
ported them to regions depleted
of big game. With a total of 122
traps operating next winter the
Department hopes to trap and
transplant several hundred deer.
Few deer were trapped in past
years due to the lack of a trap
which operated successfully. How-
ever, the trap now being used,
which catches one deer at a time,
was developed.
The executive secretary of the
Department, highly pleased with
the way the traps operated last
winter, ordered the additional 100.
. In the past many of the deer dis-
tributed have been tame or semi-
tame deer which were picked up
by ranchers as fawns. Those will
still be collected and distributed,
but the executive secretary has
high hopes of far, more rapid and
successful restocking due to both
the increase in number of animals
trapped and to the fact that they
will tp wild deer, better adapted
for restocking" purposes.
used nets in the lake, destroyed
many small fish and did other
damage. Now the lake is patroll-
ed by members of the Junior club
and the fish supply has increased,
it is reported.
The Gulf Coast Rod and Reel
Club is another of the many or-
ganizations in the state which are
backing the attempts of the Game
Departments to obtain a universal
license and regulatory powers.
SPOTTED JAVELINA SPOTTED
There have been a few instances
of albino Javelinas being captur-
ed and therfe have been some re-
ports of spotted javelinas. The
latest is a white-spotted peccary
reported by a cowboy on the Crane
Ranch nine miles from Pearsall.

Pheasants will not do well in
Texas except in captivity and oc-
casional reports that the birds are
spreading are minimized by the
Game Department. Records show
that in few sections of the state
will the birds do well in the wild.
For example, approximately 50
pheasants remain out of the 152
young birds liberated in the spring
of 1938 on a large tract of land
In Colorado County. At least seven
broods were reared in 1939 and
pheasant eggs were found this
year in March. Some of the pheas-
ants have roamed as far as five
miles from the point of release.

The Beaument Junior Rod and

in'Texas through which boys are
aiding in the conservation of wild-
life, it is reported to the Game
Department by N. E. LeBlanc,
secretary of the Gulf Coast Rod
and Reel Club of Beaumont, spon-
sor of the junior organization.
Among the projects being hand-
led by the more than fifty mem-
bers of the junior club Is the pol-
icing of Twin Lakes near Beau-
mont. Formerly, boys seined and

the carcass of gars on a tree be-
