Managing Hogs Or Managing the Damage?
Wildlife Resources
The feral hog problem in Texas has some new possible solutions on the horizon.
The South Texas Turkey Standard
Wildlife Resources
A collective, Texas-sized movement from landowners, hunters and all those that appreciate the outdoors to continually protect and preserve wild turkey habitat will ensure that strutting long beards will put on their springtime show for years to come.
The Wilson’s Snipe
Wildlife Resources
The snipe is probably the most misunderstood and underutilized game bird in North America. It is only one of two shorebirds that can be legally hunted under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Fair Chase Part II: Mule Deer
Wildlife Resources

Fair Chase Part I: Whitetails
Wildlife Resources
During rut, when bucks are on the move, a combination of careful still hunting and rattling can pay off. Sure, you’re likely to see a lot of deer while sitting in a stand watching a feeder, but you’re narrowing your real hunting time to the half hour the deer need to eat all of the dumped corn. Rattling tends to be most effective just before the rut’s peak when does are coming into estrus and bucks are looking for a fight. At the actual peak of the rut, the big boys are likely to be with does and can be impossible to call away.
What’s Happened to All The Pintails?
Wildlife Resources
Waterfowl managers across the nation know there is a big problem with the Northern Pintail. Starting in the mid-1990s, precipitation returned to the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of southern Canada and the northern plains of America. Populations of all puddle ducks species escalated to some of their highest numbers since the 1950s, but pintails languished well below their long-term average, disappointing sportsmen with reduced bag limits and perplexing biologists with a population that should have rebounded with conditions.
