I received this via email from a student at UAF. Looks like good news and a reminder to take a kid hunting or fishing. -Janis Responsive Management Releases Results of Three New Hunting Studies <div>Three new Responsive Management studies completed during the first quarter of 2012 suggest continued growth and support for hunting across America. Examining initiation into hunting from three different angles, the studies together indicate that increased interest and involvement in hunting will follow increased exposure to the sport, particularly through several crucial sources: peer influence from friends, classmates, and neighbors; hunter education courses sponsored by state fish and wildlife agencies; and first-time apprentice licenses that temporarily exempt new hunters from hunter education requirements and allow them to "test drive" the sport for a certain period.

Great looking birds! Should be another fun season of gobbling action! This is such a fantastic and exciting time a year for a turkey hunter. The gobbling and strutting has been going on for weeks now at my house to the point where my wife is about to lock me in the closet. Great job Lance! Looking forward to seeing your pics from this year. Gobble Gobble

By Darr Colburn The last couple of years I have really gotten into crappie fishing. Crappie are fun to catch and taste great as well. I get asked frequently how I clean them. Last year for fathers day I received an electric fillet knife. This knife makes cleaning large amounts of fish a breeze. The knife I use is the Mister Twister electric fillet knife.

By Darr Colburn This is the third year in a row that me and my boys Parker and Paul have headed to San Carlos Lake for a day to do some crappie fishing during their spring break. We had a great time on the water even though the catching was a little slow. The storm we had last weekend turned things off a bit. We did manage a few fish and had a great time. The technique for this time of year is to slow troll with 2 inch grubs and minnows. You are trolling along right next to lots of other boats. Parker and Paul asked every other boat how many fish they had caught and showed off their catch. By the afternoon I am sure they had talked to everyone on the lake! The weather was beautiful and we could not have asked for a nicer day on the water. We headed off the lake by about 2 pm with 5 fish in the cooler. The water temperature was about 60 degrees and Paul even decided to take a swim before we headed home. Paul caught the biggest and the most fish this trip. Remember to take a kid hunting or fishing.

There are lots of tree carvings in the west. Most of us are familiar with the JJ+JP surrounded by a heart located about a half mile up your neighborhood trail. What I was not so familiar with is the art that the sheepherders leave behind. In CO, most of our arborglyphs are from Mexican immigrant and Central American sheepherders, but sheepherders from all over Europe have worked in and left their thoughts on the west's aspens. Some of the pictures you can run into are true works of art and usually have a story to tell. During CO's 1st rifle season last year I found the carving below. I've found lots of carvings in the past, but this was the first one I had seen that had anything to do with hunting or wild animals. I figured the sheepherder had seen lots of elk here. We hunted the area opening morning with great success, killing two cows. We were back three days later and called in a 5pt. bull, a week later my cousin killed a cow there. Next time I see an arborglyph in elk country, I'm going to pay close attention to what it says. My group killed three elk within a 1/2 mile of this tree!

Posted By Jay Scott I am a big fan of Roe Hunting Resources and the host Chris Roe. Chris has an amazing ability to communicate and educate in a very detailed manner. I have learned alot from being a full access member of Roe Hunting Resources. Chris has a very good understanding of how animals communicate and is able to explain the different sounds that they make and why they make them. Chris covers some great stuff on elk, turkey, deer and many other big game animals. I recommend checking out Roe Hunting Resources if you haven't already. View the full article

Posted By Jay Scott Darr Colburn looking at a buck that we jumped driving down the road Darr and I just got back from Sonora, Mexico where we spent three days on our lease for the 2012-2013 Coues deer season. We got in on Sunday night with about a half hour to glass, then had two full days and a final morning on Wednesday to look for bucks. We saw 74 bucks between us. We saw two bucks right around the 100 inch mark. We were kind of surprised to see as many deer as we did because the moon was full the day before we got there. We know the ranch has some very big deer on it and the fun part will be trying to find them! We were able to put up 14 trail cameras. We will probably have a good inventory of the ranchers cattle by the time the SD cards run out! We have a lot of pictures and videos we would like to share from our trip so look for more in the coming days. One of the things that intrigues me so much about these pretty deer is that when taking a global look at them they are a very rare animal because they only exist in a small geographic region. We are looking to book more hunters for next season so get in touch with us if you want to go on a Coues Hunt in Mexico our dates still have some flexibility . This particular ranch is 16,000 hectares which equates to 34,000 acres. Click on the links below to see other pictures from this property and other Mexico Coues Deer hunts.
