Texas Parks Wildlife Commission
Sets 1969 Seasons And Bag limits
The Texas Parks and Wild-
life Commission in a regular
meeting in Austin last week set
the longest deer, turkey and
dove seasons possible.
The traditional deer and tur-
key season in regulatory autho-
rity counties begins on the
second Saturday of November
which this year falls on Novem-
ber 8th the earliest possible
date in the month a second
Saturday could fall. By the
same token, next year's season
will begin on November 14th
the latest date possible.
Dove hunters will get an
additional hour of hunting daily
because of the Daylight Savings
Time. Last year dove hunters
could start blasting away at
12 noon Central Standard Time
or 1 p. in. Daylight Time. This
was eliminated from the Fede-
ral guidelines this year and in
effect dove hunters can begin
shooting an hour earlier.
Several standard changes
were approved for all counties
under regulatory authority. Of
major important was the post-
ponement of setting this year’s
quail seasons and bag limits
until the Septemlfer Commis-
sion meet. Biologists said July
9th was too early to set the
seasons when many factors
could still influence this year's
population.
The Commission adopted de-
finitions of per season, evi-
dence of sex, final destination
and others which would bene-
fit to archers.
Per season, when used in
setting bag limits, refers to the
period of time for which a
hunting license is valid whe-
ther or not the taking of wild-
life is permitted in one or more
periods during this time. As
an example, the normal bag
limit of turkey is two per sea-
son in the Edwards Plateau.
However, with the experimen-
tal spring season in Kerr, Kim-
ble and Sutton Counties, the
hunter can take an additional
turkey ‘‘per season"
The following was added to
all regulatory districts: “a deer
tag and evidence of sex shall
remain on deer carcasses while
on storage and shall remain
with the carcass until reaching
it's final destination Final des-
tination shall be the perma-
nent residence of the hunter
or a commercial processing fa-

Check Herds
Carefully For
Screwworms
Mission. — Livestock pro-
ducers are urged to check their
animals closely for wounds that
may become infested with the
screwworms, and to spray
herds routinely with a product
recommended for that purpose
in order to reduce screwworm
cases.
‘‘The worst part of the screw-
worm infestation season — late
summer and early fall — is
just ahead, and now’s the time
to check potential case build-
ups,” reminds Dr. M. E. (Cot-
ton) Meadows, Jr., veterinar-
ian in charge of field opera-
tions at the Mission Screw-
worm Eradication Laboratory.
Although cases have declin-
ed in recent weeks as a result
of heavier sterile fly distribu-
tions, and hot, dry weather, the
situation could change rapidly
if rains should occur, he em-
phasizes. ‘‘It’s extremely im-
portant to continue to send all
suspected larvae samples from
wounds to the Mission Labora-
tory for identification, so that
immediate sterile fly treatment
can be started in areas where
positive cases are diagnosed.”
This week Texas chalked up
only one case of screwworm in-
festation, making the Texas
case tally 154 for the year; and
the national count 198 cases.
No new cases were reported
in Arizona. New Mexico or
California during the last part
of the week. Cases in Mexico
continued at a higher level
than those reported earlier this
month as the week drew to a
close.
