the habit, the poor little
rich boys of the NFL
decided to resume their
alleged football season.
Naturally, we had
drooled with anticipation
of again becoming one of
♦hose Sunday armchair
TV quarterbacks. Unfor-
tunately, the return of
NFL Sunday was a flop,
as far as what could be
seen on the picture box in
this area.
Instead of being able to
view a top caliber game,
the menu offered only
Bumbling Biles and the
Oilers in their “re-open-
er” against the Steelers.
Although their effort
hadn’t been that im-
pressive, the Oilers had
managed to hang in there
and, deep in the third
period, were in a 10-10
tie with Gifford Nielsen
at quarterback. Anytime
the current model of
Oilers can be involved in
a tie score in the second
half, especially against
the Steelers-tnat’s ach-
ievement.
But Bumbling Biles did
it again. He replaced
Nielsen with good ole
rich boy Archie Manning
and on his second play
Manning promptly fumb-
led the ball awav at the
Oiler 17 and on their first
play from that spot the
Steelers struck for the
winning TD.

in the 18-29 year old

Competing in the 5-

lin won first place in the

ert Solis, Jr. placed fifth

Field care
key to tasty
is vital to
Deer hunters will soon
be bringing home a lot of
venison, and its quality
depends a lot on how the
deer carcass is handled.
The entire process of
handling the carcass
from field to table can
add or detract from the
desirability of the final
product according to Dr.
Milo Schult. Extension
wildlife specialist with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service. Texas
A&M University System.
The hunter plays an
important role in deter-
mining whether a deer
steak is tender and tasty
or tough and bad-flavor-
ed.
Dr. Schult offers these
recommendations for
hunters to help improve
the quality of venison
they bring home.
1. Whenever a choice
is available, select a
female animal for less
flavor intensity (garni,
ness). This does not
mean that male animals
provide undesirable
meat, but rather that
most consumers may pre-
fer the less intense flavor
of the female.
2. Whenever possible
place the shot in the neck
or head to insure a clean
rapid kill. This prevents
post-shot stress and also
reduces tissue damage
considerably.
3. Field dress the
animal as soon as poss-
ible. If contents of the
intestine or paunch have
been spilled, rinse the
carcass with water. A
ublication, L-634, entit-
led “Field Dressing Big
Game” is available from
the county Extension of-
fice and provides more
information.
4. When weather per-
mits. leave the skin on
the carcass to help con-
serve moisture. Howev-
er, a little common sense
dictates that carcasses
should be skinned and
covered with a fly-proof
bag in hot weather if a
cooler is not accessible.
AlSft'a male in the rut
may have a strong urine
odor on the hind legs and
probably should be skin-
ned prior to storage.
5. If the family prefers
a somewhat intense flav-
or which is similar to
aged beef, hang the
carcass in a locker for
about a week before final
processing. Again, com-
mon sense dictates stor-
age in a clean locker
which eliminates contam-
ination of odors from
poorly handled carcas-
ses.
If a hunter has no
experience in handling
deer carcasses, or has
had a bad experience
with deer meat, these
suggestions may provide
a means of increasing the
use of deer meat. Further
suggestions on care and
cooking of venison can be
found in the publication
MP-|333, “Big Game
Cooking Care,” also a-
vailable from the county
Extension office.

Anglers miss good seafood dinner
by tossing back "unfit" species
Many a good seafood dinner has been
tossed back into the brine by fishermen
along the Texas Gulf Coast, according
to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment fisheries biologist.
Jerry Mambretti of Rockport said
anglers, particularly those who bank-
fish from jetties, often discard certain
'ecies of fish assumed to be unfit for
spi
thi
e table.
“The shark and stingray species are
two which often are wasted,” Mam-
bretti said, “but most of them can be
prepared in a variety of ways for a
wonderful main course.”
Another fish whose reputation as a
trash fish is undeserved is the Atlantic
cutlassfish, often used by offshore
fishermen for trolling bait. Their sharp
teeth make unhooking a delicate
operation, but their flesh is quite
edible, Mambretti said.
The Florida pompano so closely
resembles others of the jack family that
many anglers mistakenly figure its flesh
is unpalatable.
Mambretti said fishermen should
brush up on their fish identifying skills
and take advantage of some of these
lesser-known seafood treats. Recipes
for cooking a variety of Texas saltwater
fish may be obtained by writing to

Redfish, speckled trout...
TP&WD bans throwlines
The Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission has
adopted an emergency
regulation outlawing the
use of throwlines to take
red drum (redfish) and
spotted seatrout (speckl-
ed trout) in Texas waters
under the Parks and
Wildlife Department's
regulatory authority.
Exceptions are Cham-
bers, Harris and Victoria
Counties, where it will
remain legal to take trout
but not redfish with
throwlines.
The change redefines
throwlines as a type of
trotline in the regula-
tions. Retention of red-
fish and speckled trout
caught with trotlines be-
came illegal by commis-
sion action in September
1982.
Assistant Chief of Coa-
stal Fisheries Gary Mat-
lock said throwlines have
five or fewer hooks at-
tached to a line which
must be attached to a
permanent fixture at one
end.
Matlock told the com-
mission that since the
ban on retention of trout
and redfish caught on
trotlines was enacted in
September, some fisher-
men have been circum-
venting the regulation by
using large numbers of
throwlines, especially on
the Lower Texas Coast.
Matlock said the emer-
gency amendment to the
regulations is expected to
go into effect within two
weeks.
