Regulatory Law, Yes? No?
Medina County is one of 153
Texas counties under regulatory
power where fish and game laws
are concerned. It is one of five such
counties under the jurisdiction of the
county commissioner's court.
At a meeting of the commis-
sioners last year, opinion was equal-
ly divided Two favored continuance
of regulatory power, two opposed it.
Judge Duncan cast the deciding vote
and Medina County remains under
regulatory power.
Recently one section of our
county has been involved in a con-
troversy over the issuance of depre-
dation permits to destroy deer which
were said to be destroying one
man's crops. It has brought to light
new angles of t h e pros and cons
where regulatory powers are in-
volved. Times and circumstances
bring many changes.
Each June, a public meeting is
held to give landowners, sportsmen
and any other interested persons an
opportunity to voice their opinions
and offer suggestions about what
procedure might be best f o r con-
servation of our county's bountiful
wildlife resources. Usually, only the
same few pers ms attend although
the meeting is well publicized in ad-
vance. Tape recordings are made
of every word spoken for later eval-
uation by the state game officials
and their final recommendations in
any new laws.
During the past few weeks,
tongues and heads have wagged in
criticism, some in approval and some
in condemnation of present practices.
How many of the self-appointed
critics bothered to attend the last
June meeting? Were you there?
The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department was established to work
with county officials and with sports-
men throughout the state to initiate
and maintain the best legislation
possible for the common good and
preservation of this great state's rich
heritage of wide open spaces and
wildlife. They ask for and want our
cooperation. Their finakjaw-making
decisions are governed in a large
measure by the public's constructive
suggestions and reactions when the
annual hearing is held each July in
Austin.
June seems a long way off,
with January just beginning. Use the
intervening months to study our spe-
cific problems and prepare to attend
the public hearing this year with an
open mind, a listening ear, and with
an'eye to our future economic wel-
fare.
—EGM
Resolutions For Sportsmen
While the resolution-ary spirit is
still upon us, this seems a good, time
to offer a set of New Year Resolu-
tions for Sportsmen, supplied by
Charlie DuBuisson of Westfield,
Mass., v i a Vernon Snell’s outdoor
column in The Daily Oklahoman:
Strengthen the sportsman’s
J position by joining a club, learning
what is needed and directing your
efforts through organized and uni-
fied channels.
Become acquainted with your
legislators and alert them to the
problems, especially the anti-gun
movement with its cry for the control
of sporting firearms through regis-
tration.
Keep informed on all legislation
pertaining to hunting and fishing so
that you will be more effective in
fighting the bad bills and supporting
the desirable measures.
Take an interest in at least one
youth by educating him in sound
conservation practices, teaching him
proper gun handling procedure and
treatinq him to a day or two in the
field.
Respect the property of another
as you would your own. Don't lit-
ter, don't damage and don t enter
without permission.
If land is posted in your area,
find out why and make an effort fo
bridge the gap between landowner
and sportsman so that the barriers
will come down.
Support your fish and wildlife
biologists in the scientific manage-
ment of programs calculated to im-
prove hunting and fishing conditions.
Evaluate your sports from a
spectrum broader than that which
might reflect only your own personal
desires. '
Promise to put something back
in appreciation of the benefits you
receive. Sow a little seed so that
the harvest you enjoyed this year
will be more bountiful in 1967, but
don't fudge that harvest in terms of
bag or creel limits alone.
