Trapping Still Successful
Ik-splte the fact there is more cov-
er and natural food for deer In the
Southwt stern part of Texas than
there has been for many winters,
trapping of deer by the Texas Came.
Pith Oyster department by use of
new. individual traps continues to
be sin • es.ful. The first three week-*
of trapping brought 151 deer Into
the traps, they are transported to

Starts Speckled Trout Research
The marine biologist for the Texas
as game* department will soon start
research on speckled trout, an ex
(client sport fish which fa far front
tains as plentiful on the Texas coast
as It w-a« ten years ago. The biologist
is being equipped with s boat. «1V
study ail phases ot troui and Hopes
to ascertain tb«-ir habits, the typ*
of water and bays in which they
breed best and other data bearing
on their number along the Texas
roast.
It Is possible coastal residents of
Texas will cause a bill to be proposed
before the legislature at its next
session to take speckled trout off
the market. It is considered likely
commercial fishermen will offer lit-
tle ohje< tion due to the fact that the
market for trout is so sporadic that
they find it necessary to create a
market every time there is a good
run of trout.
Many Deer Ruined Accidentally
Ho you got a deer, as thousands of
Texans are dniug during the open
season. Hut. dd >ou reach home with
the meat sweet and clean, or was
It something at which even Rover
turned up his nose?
Proper care of venison will allow
you to reach home with good meat,
the executive secretary of the Texas
(Same. Fish and Oyster Commission
pointed out recently. The outstand-
ing reason for the loss of venison
through spoiling is because hunters
carry it borne, tied on the fenders
of their cars, up against a hot motor
hood. Yep. It's nice to breeze along
the highway with your buck being
admired by hundreds of persons
That's a thrill, but it is hardly com-
pensated by the lewis of much good
venison, the executive secretary has
pointed out. The only time it is safe
to do that is tghen the weather Is
extremely cold.
A lew simple rules, which, if fol-
lowed, will allow you to take home
excellent meat. After the buck is
killed, bleed It. remove the Intestines
and then skin It out and quarter the
carcass. Wrap the quarters In cheese
cloth, after putting n little salt or
pepper on plncra where you have
trimmed out the bloody meat.
If y<>u do not want to skin out
your buck, you should hang It so
that It ran fully drain and fully cool
If body heat la left in the carcass
when it Is tied to your car. there Is
b excellent chance that the must
will sour before you reach home, em
pec tally If the weather ia waram
Bucks can he brou^rt in wlgiont
skinning aad quartering. If the day
is cold and if the carcass is cooled
ouL
Most hunters are extremely anP
ious to ge home right after killing
their buck or bucka. Take another
night In camp to allow the meat to
cool. You'll enjoy those steaks and
roasts far more, and so will yoiF
family and friends.
Here is the proper procedure to
follow after killing a buck: stick the
knife in bark of the brisket to bleed
the buck. Insert knife st rear rlhw
cut stra ‘-^osard the throat, thru
cartilag-*! .ere r'.i, enJl N'-D.'kM ti*
way to the brlaket. Never cut throat
or neck. To dYesa. split pelvic bone
with knife or ax. Cut entirely aroutA
tall and large intestine, leaving lat-
ter attached. Pull and cut free from
split pelvis. Open the body straight
along the stotnai b front one cut to
the other by working slowly at^
thus insuring cleanliness. Do not
puncture the intestines Cut the dla-
phrarn loose and work out heart, liv-
er and contents of chest cavity. Af-
ter draining, wipe out blood w|#
dry cloth. Keep the forepart elevated
and keep the deer In the shade if
possible. Prop open body with sticks
to Insure its cooling and to prevent
souring. 0
Hang the carrass with a gamble
stick fixed through the tendons of
the hind legs or hang by antlers. *
Wrap loosely by day. for protection,
but remove cover at night SprmkN
salt or black pepper on exposed part
of meat.
