Managing for your favorite game and fish species in Texas just got a little easier! Texas landowners, hunters and anglers will all benefit from this combination management guide and calendar that is "hot off the press" and just in time for the Fall 2007 hunting season.  Featured species include white-tailed deer, quail, turkey, doves, waterfowl, largemouth bass, catfish, feral hogs and more. Do you need fish stocking recommendations for a farm pond? When and how to fertilize that pond or control aquatic weeds? How about info on aging deer in the field or by tooth wear? How to conduct a deer population census by spotlight counts or through the use of remote-sensing cameras? All of this information is in the management publication. The idea was to provide a month by month guide for Texans to better manage their wildlife and fish resources.  Each month features a beautiful color photo of Texas wildlife, management recomendations by species for that month, a "Did You Know" fact about wildlife or fish and a "Management Tip of the Month". There is adequate space for notes to allow comparisons of management progress towards goals from one year to the next. Several appendices include field aging of deer and by the tooth wear and replacement method, using angler catch records to properly manage your largemouth bass population and tips on feral hog control based on an on-going study currently conducted by Texas Cooperative Extension.  The publication's author, Billy Higginbotham, is a Professor and Wildlife and Fisheries Specialist with Texas Cooperative Extension and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences with Texas A&M University. He has over 30 years experience in managing wildlife and fisheries resources on private lands, with the last 27 years spent helping Texas landowners, anglers and hunters reach their management goals.
