Hawk Was Very Hungry
A hawk which was so hungry
it would not give up its prey,
a mocking bird it had killed,
until it had been fired at three
times by a State Game Warden
using a shotgun, is reported to
the Austin office from South
Texas. The warden and his cap-
tain were patrolling when they
saw the hawk flying into an
oak mott with a bird in its
talons. The warden captain
walked into the mott, fired two
shots at the hawk. One was a
hit, but the hawk flew to an-
other mott. The captain follow-
ed, peppered the hawk with an-
other load of shot and it was
only then that the hawk gave
up its prey. The hawk was a
sharpshinned.
Most hawks are considered
beneficial, killing many rodents.
However, four hawks are not
protected by state laws in Tex-
as. They are Cooper hawk or
blue darter, sharpshinned, gos-
hawk and duck-hawk.

die your minnows carefully. If
your minnow bucket is not sup-
plied with an air pump, the
water should be changed fre.
quently or the bucket placed
in a stream or lake. A minnow
bucket should rot be towed
behind a rapidly moving boat.
All minnows remaining after
you are through fishing should
be dumped into the lake or
stream.

Help Save Texas Minnows
Now’ that Texas’ season on
all species of fish is open, the
State Game Department is
urging anglers to use care in
'he handling of minnows.
Those small fish are not only
excellent bait, but are essential
food for a large number of
fish found in Texas. Wasting
minnows means that you are
simply robbing fish of badly
needed food and that the fish
you do catch may not be as
large as they could have had
you helped conserve the min-
now crop.
Texas laws are specific con-
cerning minnows. Seines used
to catch them must not be
longer than twenty feet. Any
fish other than minnows and
minnows too small for bait must
be returned to the water.
It is an excellent idea to han-
Knterad as aeccnd-daM matter, Oc-
obcr 20. 1010, at the post office at New
Ulm, Texaa, under the act of March

‘•Planted” Turkeys Doing Well
As a result of restocking a
large area in Robertson County
less than two years ago and
managing the land, that is at-
tempting to control the preda-
tors, provide good food and
cover for game, there are bow
more than 300 wild turkeys
i-pon the area, a report by a
game manager for the Texas
Game, Fish and Oyster Com-
mission to the executive secre-
tary indicates. Only sixty-one
turkey were released upon the
area.
Work on the Robertson coun-
ty area, which was done with
the aid of Pittman-Robertson
federal funds, included fencing
twenty acres and placing a
score of birds inside. Their
wings were clipped. Not only
did the birds nest in the en-
closure, but proved excellent
decoys to the birds released
outside the fence. The birds at
liberty had a tendency to drift
back to the penned birds each
evening. That prevented their
spreading over too large an
area and into sections upon
which the Game Department
was not carrying on specialized
work.
The Robertson county area is
one of several the Game De-
partment has set up for deer
and turkey throughout the
state in an effort to restore
big game to areas which for-
merly had a sufficient supply
of game, but from which it had
been shot out.
Squirrel Battles Snake
C. C. Barton of Temple
cently came to the rescue
a mother squirrel which was
battling a large snake for one
of her offsprings, but apparent-
ly the little nut eater would
have triumphed over its enemy
even without assistance from
man.
Mr. Barton was driving near
4 creek on a farm he owns eight
miles north of Temple when he
noticed the large snake twisting
and rolling. He got out of his
car, picked up a club and start-
ed for the snake. Then he no-
ticed that an adult squirrel was
battling the reptile, twisting
and turning with every move

Hunting
More proof
Game Department’s contention
that hunting is big business is
disclosed in a report of a Game
Manager to the executive secre-
tary. The game manager and
his assistants checked 1,500
white-wing dove hunters in the
Rio Grande Valley and found
that they had spent a total of
824,600 to bag 25,500 birds
That is an average of 161/2
birds per hunter. When it is
considered that thousands of
persons hunt whitewings each
season it can readily be seen
that there is a huge turnover
in cash just for whitewing
hunting.
A survey of 102 retail and
wholesale dealers in ammuni-
tion in twenty towns of Hidal-
go, Cameron and Willacy coun-
ties showed a gross sale of
ammunition for the 1940 white-
wing season exceeding $45,614.
There was a net profit of ap-
proximately $7,754.38 in the
sales for the dealers.

“Planted” Beaver Doing
Beaver planted in east
lt.ro as after being trapped in
1 Texas are doing well, so
in fact, that it is possible
should the Texas Game,
and Oyster Commission be able
to continue trapping and trans-
planting those busy little dam
beavers it may be possible to
have an open season on them
within five years, according to
a report from a game manager
to the executive secretary of
the Department.
Beaver are fairly abundant
in parts of West Texas, but
there is not sufficient suitable
habitat for them there. The
Game Department and the wild-
life research unit at College
Station, a Game Department
co-operative agency, trapped a
few beaver two years ago. Last
season the Game Department
trapped more and plan addi-
tional activities next winter.
Beaver were planted in East
Texas.
Beaver build aams and thus
aid other wildlife. The dams
hold back the rush of water,
provide watering places for wild
and domestic birds and animals
and oftentimes provide places
for other fur-bearers to live,
as well as aiding fish life. Only
one complaint has been received
by the Game Department as
the result of plantings of beaver
in east Texas while many land-
owners who have had a few
acres of land flooded have wel-
comed the busy little animals.
The Game Department is ready
to trap beaver that are un-
wanted by landowners, but an-
ticipates few requests of this
nature. The animals are too
valuable.
One Bullet Equals Two Deer
P. B. Gerhart, a mechanic
of Canadian, Texas, saved plen-
ty of ammunition during the
last hunting season, according
to a belated report reaching the
Texas Game Department. Mr.
Gerhart and Sheriff Rathjin
went hunting on Dec. 16. Ger-
hart got out of the car at a
persimmon patch on the Hart-
age Ranch near Canadian. When
he was within 100 yards of
the thicket he saw a large buck
looking at him. He fired. Ima-
gine his surprise when he
reached the buck, a seven-
pointer, to see another buck
stretched out just a few feet
from the one at which he had
aimed. Gerhart had seen only
one buck, yet he had gotten
his season’s legal limit with
one shot. The seven-pointer
had been shot through the neck
and the four-pointer through
the head. The hunter was using
a 30-0-6. The bullet nearly tore
the head off the second deer
it hit.
