A chapter of Ducks Unlimited
may yet be formed in the Valley
following a visit to the area by
Jack K a m m a n of Colorado
Springs, a field representative for
DU. Dr. Earl Griffey of Browns-
ville consented to act as chair-
man for an organization com-
mittee. When formed, the chap-
ter may sponsor a Charity Din-
ner “for ducks.” Last year there
was talk of a buffalo barbecue
with the proceeds going to DU
but plans got started a little too
late. Tentative dates in October
and November have been dis-
cussed for this fall.
The excellent conditions in
the prime nesting areas for ducks
may heighten interest in the DU
organization which has spent
million of dollars preserving
nesting areas in Canada where
U. S. federal wildlife people are
not allowed to spend any money.

HUNTER’S GUIDE READY
The 1970 edition of “Hunter’s
Guide to Texas” by John Jeffer-
son is off the presses listing
available hunting lands as well
as general geographical informa-
tion on the diverse regions of
Texas written from the hunter’s
point of view.
The information in the first
edition issued last year has been
supplemented this year with ad-
ditional data. The major empha-
sis in the text is placed on deer
hunting since deer are the only
big game animal native to every
region of the state and are hence
a sort of common denominator
between areas.
Information and lease listings
also appear, though, for such! the ace of the staff can’t win a
game as turkeys, javelina, quail, j game.
SPORTS
ROUND-UP
THE HOUSTON ASTROS can’t
seem to get untracked 1 this sea-
son. Their pitching goes great
for a while but their hitting is
sour and then it is vice versa.
At this writing, it appears that
both pitching and hitting are the
poorest of the year.
The St. Louis Cards came into
the Astrodome last week having
lost about 20 out of their last 25
games and proceeded to win
three in a row over the Astros.
They (the Astros) had just lost
two in a row to the Chicago
Cubs.
The Astros have had streaks
of brilliant pitching but not con-
sistently. Larry D i e r k e r, who
started out like he was going to
win 25 or more games, had an 8-1
record and then lost seven games
in a row and was in three or
four more games in which he
was not involved in the decision.
Over a period of six or seven
weeks, he didn’t win a gime. And
that is hard on a team when
pronghorn antelope, ducks,
geese, mourning doves, white-
winged doves, squirrels, varmints
and the numerous breeds of ex-
otic game that have been stock-
ed on private preserves and are j weejc draw between 15,000 and
not native to this country. The
exotics can, of course, be hunt-
ed any day of the year.
Texas type deer rifles, the
Texas system of leasing from a
landowner, bow - hunting and
some suggestions for caliber, and
shot size for game are other mat-
ters covered in the digest.
A timely introduction by Rus-
sell Tinsley, outdoor editor for
an Austin paper and author of
“Hunting the Whitetail Dfeer,”
preceds the main part of the
book which sells for $3.95 plus
17 cents tax and can be ordered
directly from Pemberton, Press
Box 2085, Austin, Texas 78767.

I column and keep the name con-
fidential.
There is a great deal of miscon-
ceptions and misinformation
about hunting in Mexico that
should be clarified and it can be
done only by some of those who
hunt down there to do some talk-
ing.

ODDS & ENDS picked up here
and there in the world of sports
— Best sports headline seen this
week was: “Bouton Gets Ball
Four From Major Leagues.” . . .
All the coaches are in Houston
this week for the annual coach-
ing school. . HENRY A. LeBOW,
one of the owners of Warden
Pump Co., refutes a statement in
this column recently that a white
wing would not feed in a corn
field until it has been harvested.
He travels in Mexico frequently i
because of his business and he
says he has seen many white
wings feeding in unharvested
corn fields. They will peel hack
the shuck and get kernels right
from the £nd of the ear, he says.
... An all “black” white tailed
deer could be bred, according to
the Parks & Wildlife Dept.
Enough have been found that it
could be done if some one made
a try at it. . . . Smoked mullet is
a delicacy, so says the Parks &
Wildlife Dept, current magazine.

group of sportsmen on a fishing
safari 14,000 feet up in the An-

First few reports indicate that
there are very few young birds
up to now — that is, just off the
nest. Opening the season so
early, biologists over here feared
that many of the baby birds
would be taken. Also, there seem
to be more birds at this time I

HUNTING OF WHITE WINGS
IN MEXICO started August 1st
(as this column predicted three
or four weeks ago). First reports
are trickling in but this writer
has not talked to enough hunt-

brid introduced in that country
by Uncle Sam. They are big ones
weighing up to 6, 7, and 8
pounds. . . . New hunting "and

any day now. . . . Contrary to
popular opinion, white tailed
deer are not grass eaters but de-

The Valley’s first hunting sea-
son this fall will be the white-
wing shoots Sunday and Labor
Day, Sept. 5 and 6, and Saturday
and Sunday, Sept. 12 and 13.
Mourning doves may also be tak-

will be a separate season for
mourners later.

the previous estimates of the bi
ologists that there is an increase
in the population in both Mexi-
co and the United States.
Very little of the corn has been
harvested up to now. All the
grain apparently is harvested
and there is a great deal of stub-
ble for the birds to feed in
There are far more doves in i
Mexico this year than a year ago.
From this writer’s contact i
with a limited number of Mexico!
hunters through the years, we
have concluded that the Ameri-
can hunters make very little
dent in the over-all white-wing
population in the state of Ta-
maulipas. The white wings that
are 10 miles or more south of
the Rio Grande never fly into
Texas. They have all they want
in Mexico — shelter, resting
areas, food and plenty of dirt
canal water and just plain dirty
lake water — and there isn’t any
reason to fly into Texas to get
less than what is available with-
in a mile or two of their nesting-1
i resting areas
If any one who has hunted in j
J Mexico will talk for publication,

bushes and trees. They will eat
grass but it is not their main
diet, like it is for cattle. ... For
those who may be interested, the
bow season at Aransas Wildlife
Refuge will be from Sept. 10 thru
Sept. 30. . . .
More than 44,000 Texas hunt-
ers will be receiving question-
naires from the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Dept, this week as part
of the first statewide mourning
dove harvest survey slated for
this September.
Ted’ Clark, project leader for
the survey, urged that hunting
license holders who receive the
questionnaires complete and re-
turn them as soon as possible so
the final sampling can be com-
piled.
No postage is required on the
computer-keyed questionnaires,
and the only information re-
quested is whether or not the
respondent plans to hunt during
the season Sept. 1 in the north
zone .and Sept. 26 in the south
zone.
The hunters who indicate they
plan to hunt will form the test
group for the day-by-day survey.
The survey, actually began
several months ago, Clark said,
when Department officials took
every fifteenth hunting license
issued in the last year as a ran-
dom sampling. The hunters’
names and addresses were trans-
ferred to computer tape for use
in addressing vthe current ques-
tionnaire phase of the survey.
This September, each hunter in
the survey group will receive 10
numbered IBM cards on which
he is asked to record daily the
county he hunted, number of
hours spent hunting, number of
doves bagged and the date of
the hunt.
Sept. 11 — Donna, there.
Sept. 18 — Rio Grande City,
here.
Sept. 25 — Edcouch-Elsa, here.
Oct. 9 — McAllen there.
“We want to determine when,
where and how many birds are
killed in the State each year,”
Clark said. “Information from
the harvest survey added to our
ongoing banding program should
give us an indication of the to- _ _ .
tal mourning dove population.” j ^ ^an Benito, here.

ease, droughts, predators, pesti-
cides, loss of habitat and hunting
all are possible factors in this
decline, Clark said.
The harvest survey should de-
termine the number of birds kill-
ed during the season and, .in
turn, provide the basis for as-
sessing the effects of hunting
pressure on the dove population.
