Denton Greenbelt Debacle Update

While my motivation is nearing its all-time low, a place I left it not so long ago for sweet Texas Gulf Coast salt, I still have a duty to report what tidbits come my way. And believe me, they are tidbits.

Also I'm not saying the Amazon Rainforest isn't EXTREMELY important. I'm pointing out my governments hypocrisy.

Also if the Amazon Rainforest is equivalent to the lungs of the the earth, weatlands are the kidneys! Wetlands are where tons of the fish we,along with other animals eat go to lay their eggs. Also Prairie lands have near to the amount of life diversity as the Amazon Rainforest and only 1% of Prairie lands remain in Texas today!

Amazing fucking news btw.

Once hunted out of Texas, black bears are reportedly making a big comeback to the state. Sightings of the state-endangered species have been steadily increasing in the Hill Country again, according to a recent report from the Killeen Daily Herald. John Tomacek, an associate professor of wildlife studies at Texas A&M University and a wildlife specialist with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, told the newspaper that the bears are expanding back into areas where they once roamed free because they aren't being hunted anymore."Black bears are protected—it's against the law to kill a bear in the state, so hunters aren't looking for them," he said. 

Per the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), in 2000 there were only 25 confirmed black bear sightings, with 20 of those occurring in the Black Gap region, which includes Big Bend. In 2021, those numbers shot up to 80 confirmed sightings and to 154 in 2022. Most recently, black bears have been seen in the western part of the Texas Hill Country, Tomacek told the Killeen Daily Herald. Kaufman, Menard and Kimble counties have each had confirmed sightings. Earlier this month, a black bear was spotted roaming the streets of Uvalde in southwest Texas and was swiftly caught and relocated.

Dana Karelus, a mammologist with TPWD, said there is not currently a system in place in Texas for estimating black bear populations but the state agency is working with the Borderlands Research Institute at Sul Ross State University in Alpine to collar and track Texas bears. 

Why the recent surge in sightings? Karelus told the Killeen Daily Herald she suspects drought has played a big role as bears move in search of food and water. Advanced technology also plays a factor. "Back in 2000, there were few game cameras in use, and today there are many," Karelus said. "That may explain part of the increase, but more bears are moving into Texas." 

Research is currently underway by TPWD to determine the status of black bears in Texas. Biologists are encouraging people to report recent bear sightings to the state agency. "It's going to take a long time, but there is no reason to believe that black bears won't repopulate the Texas Hill Country," Tomacek told the Killeen Daily Herald. "There are ample food and water resources, and the habitat is perfect for bears."

Central Texas:

Headline and screenshots from: Priscilla Aguirre. “Potential mountain lion sighting in San Antonio area raises awareness.” My San Antonio. 14 February 2023.

Excerpt from this article: Officials at the San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department are asking others and the surrounding areas to be cautious about potential mountain lions in Central Texas. Officials said the message comes after the department received a call about a potential sighting of a mountain lion at Upper Purgatory Creek Natural Area in San Marcos on Sunday, February 12. [...] In Central Texas, it’s extremely rare to see a mountain lion in person, according to a report from the San Antonio Express-News. [...] Only one mountain lion has been confirmed in Bexar County in the past decade, on November 24, 2013, according to TPWD. [End of excerpt.]

Great Plains and Nebraska:

Headline and screenshot from: Damon Bennett. “Nebraska mountain lion now looking for a name after 700-mile journey.” Lincoln Journal-Star. 16 February 2023.

Excerpt from this article: A Nebraska mountain lion that found itself in a sanctuary in Indiana after a 700-mile journey through four states is now looking for one last souvenir: a name. Back in the fall, the big cat made its way from the scenic Niobrara River valley all the way to suburban Springfield, Illinois, according to the GPS tracker that Nebraska Game and Parks had tagged it with a year prior. "A lot of people were watching him," said [the director of an “exotic feline rescue center”] in Center Point, Indiana, where the mountain lion has been since October. When the lion overstayed its welcome near Springfield, it was sedated by federal wildlife officials, who offered to return it to Nebraska. Nebraska declined.’ [...] "I'm incredibly impressed with this animal; he crossed both the Missouri and Mississippi rivers [...]." [End of excerpt.]

Ozarks and Missouri:

Headline and screenshot from: Julia Wilson. “Mountain lions in Missouri? We’re seeing more than usual this winter.” Columbia Missourian. 16 February 2023.

Excerpt from this article: Footage from a trail camera taken Jan. 3 confirmed that a roaming mountain lion made a rare appearance in northern Boone County. Since then, the Missouri Department of Conservation documented three additional sightings around the state last month — one in Callaway County, another in Montgomery County and a third that was hit by a vehicle south of St. Louis.  Reports of mountain lions, also known as cougars, pumas and panthers, have increased over the past decade in the state. Between 2013 and 2022, a total of 65 were counted around Missouri. Compare that to the years between 1994 and 2006, when only 12 were spotted. [...] The animals may come from an established colony in the Black Hills, cross Nebraska and wander into Missouri, according to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Missouri’s extensive forest coverage, which includes 35% of state acreage, then becomes an ideal destination for the animals. Mountain lions have roamed Missouri since pre-settlement times. Their range crosses the western hemisphere from Canada to southern Chile. [...] Although they are seen across the state, over half of all sightings have been documented within 40 miles of Mark Twain National Forest in southeast Missouri. [...] Trophy hunting by early colonists wiped out most of the population east of the Mississippi River. [...] Except for the recent encounter in Franklin County where a lion was hit by a vehicle, the last documented human contact occurred in December 2021 during another vehicle collision.

August 4, 2023 Restoration work on the Battleship Texas

"I am 'declassifying' Hunter Miertschin's 'Top Secret' picture from a few weeks ago.

Atlantic Theater Map Declassified

On behalf of our crew, our colleagues at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's (TPWD) Cultural Resources branch, and OnAim Conservation, I am pleased to announce that the stabilization, conservation, and partial restoration of the Atlantic Theater Map in the Captain's Cabin is complete!

This map of the WWII Atlantic Theater was painted on a bulkhead in the Captain's Cabin after September 1944 (based on references in the map). It shows the ports of call Texas made during WWII (white dots with anchors in them), where she performed shore bombardment (noted by little explosions), national capitals (yellow triangles), and a few surprise discoveries as the map was conserved.

The 1966 newspaper photo of Chief McKeown, with the map in the background. This is the only known photograph of the map prior to it being painted over.

Sometime after 1966 (which is when the only known historic photo of the map was taken), the map along with the rest of the Captain's Cabin was painted white. That act was not great, but not terrible either. What was truly terrible is a window was cut into the bulkhead right in the middle of the map sometime in the late 1970s, after the map and compartment were painted white. We believe that because the map had been painted over and the loss of institutional knowledge of the map, those who made that decision did not know it was there.

Fast forward to around 2000 when the map beings to reveal itself as the white paint begins to flake off and the map is rediscovered during the planning for the Captain's Cabin restoration. When the Captain's Cabin was restored, the window was welded up and the map was partially uncovered exposing the Mediterranean and most of Europe. In 2009, I discovered the 1966 picture of Chief McKeown with the map in the background, which spurred a lot of excitement about what possibly survived. However, due to budgetary constraints we were not able to perform any real conservation treatments to the map.

This is the map in 2002. You can see Italy, Southern France, and the Mediterranean emerging. At left you can see the frame of the infamous window.

The map sat partially uncovered and untouched until last summer. In partnership with TPWD Cultural Resources we hired OnAim Conservation to stabilize the remaining paint on the bulkhead, just prior to the tow to Galveston. This initial step preserved what remained and protected it from any vibrations from the tow and/or shipyard work. It also set the stage for uncovering the rest of the map and recreating the missing sections.

This is the map in 2011. During the 2002-2003 Captain's Cabin restoration, it was partially uncovered. But work stopped out of fear of damaging the map further.

All through July 2023, the incredibly talented husband and wife team of Zak Miano and Ariane Roesch (who own OnAim Conservation), with the expertise and hard work of artist and conservator Bob Pringle, performed the tedious work of uncovering the map by removing the remaining white paint, revealing that much more of the map survived than anyone thought. They also discovered that whoever painted the map, had painted the State of Texas in Africa in burnt orange!

This is the map as it appears today. The gloss is from Damar varnish that was used by OnAim to protect the paint and bad lighting.

Europe afte the remaining remnants of white overpaint was removed and the the destroyed sections of Spain and North Africa were recreated. You can see the explosions where the ship did shore bombardment at N. Africa, Normandy, and Southern France.

We made the decision to use French Morocco as Morocco was a 'protectorate' of France and French Morroco showed on a lot of 1940s maps.

Once the map was uncovered, OnAim added Kati Ozanic-Lemberger to the team to recreate the destroyed section and features of the map. In consultation with TPWD Cultural Resources, it was a unanimous decision to touch up the paint of the surviving sections of the map, fill in and blend in missing areas within surviving sections, and recreate the large missing sections. We made this decision for two main reasons, 1) it would preserve the existing map longer 2) it would allow us to tell the story of what happened to this map. The artistry of OnAim is phenomenal in how they blended the recreated areas of the map with the original, infilled and blended missing patches, and emphasized the surviving features that were being last. The map blew me away, but the skill of these folks was just as impressive.

The big surprise: TEXAS!

The Eastern seaboard of N. America, with all of Texas's Dec 7, 1941 to September 1944 ports of call. Another discovery OnAim made was the remnants of 'North'. THis do not show in the 1966 photo, Referencing period maps, we opted to infill the missing sections of 'North' and create 'North Atlantic Ocean'. As that seemed the most logical as to what was there -there was no 'South'. Because this was largely on the destroyed section we would not be harming the original map.

The faded areas are what survived of 'North'. The more solid and brighter blue is what was infilled. Same with the gray for the oceans.

I also want to add that Ariane, Kati, Bob, and Zach were working directly under the work going on the Signal Bridge. They performed their magic while having to deal with the sounds of needle guns, grinders, hammers, et al, right above their heads and occasionally getting smoked out from welding and cutting smoke that would get sucked into Captain's Cabin. How they kept steady hands and focus amid the normal cacophony of a shipyard environment is astounding.

Custom matching and blending colors

The detail work....

As to the future of the map, we plan to have it on exhibit in the Captain's Cabin shortly after we reopen and are planning to incorporate it into an AR experience."

Did You See A Jaguarundi?

Did you just see a Jaguarundi cross the road? Think again! These small, elusive cats were historically found in South Texas. 

However, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Mammologist Jonah Evans, this species may not have been as widespread as we once thought. Even though TPWD receives numerous jaguarundi reports each year, most of them just turn out to be house cats.

Trophy Hunters of Tomorrow

Tyler Poole of Hankamer, Texas, has been deer hunting several years and has seven whitetails and one mule deer to his credit. The 12-year-old seventh grader at Abeka Christian Academy got the chance to go after mule deer in the Texas Panhandle when his dad, Jared, applied for a Big Time Texas Hunt with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Each year, TPWD makes a lot of good hunts available on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and other places in Texas, and lucky hunters often come home with trophies of a lifetime.

Jared was accepted for the mule deer hunt on the Yoakum Dunes WMA in Cochran County, with Tyler as a guest hunter. The hunters gathered their guns and gear and traveled to Cochran County, where they met their guides at the WMA headquarters near the small town of Whiteface. Tyler carried his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor and a pocket full of shells.

At dinner on the day of their arrival, Tyler and his guide planned a hunt on the vast 14,037-acre WMA. The vast West Texas area is home to a good population of mule deer, and the hunters would cruise the backroads looking for a good buck. Long stalks to get in position for a good shot are not uncommon, and Tyler found out how difficult it is to get in rifle range of a mule deer in the sand dunes of Cochran County.

On the first day, Tyler and his guide got close to a buck or two, but had no luck in the stalk. The next day, they went back after a good buck that they had seen the day before. The deer was unusual, because the G-2s did not fork, but the antler tines were long and Tyler wanted to test his 6.5 Creedmoor on the buck.

In the afternoon, the hunters spotted the buck they were after, and Tyler decided to try for a stalk that would give him a decent shot. After walking and then crawling through the shin oak brush for hours, Tyler finally got a good shot with his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor at 170 yards. The buck went down, and Tyler had his first mule deer.

Jared had also taken a wide mulie buck, and both father and son returned to Hankamer, just east of Houston, with big smiles. The Big Time Texas Hunt for mule deer had paid off!

Tyler and his dad decided to enter their bucks in the 2023 Hunters Extravaganza Annual Deer Competition in Houston. Both buck were outstanding, but Jared beat Tyler for Best Texas Mule Deer by a few inches. Tyler plans to take a whitetail during the 2023-24 season, and it might be a hunt with his new bow. Jared is a bowhunter, and Tyler plans to take up the sport.

“The Panhandle hunt was special for me and Dad,” Tyler said. “We both enjoyed the sandhill scenery, and the guides were great on the Yoakum Dunes WMA.” The Houston deer contest was the first for Tyler—but probably not the last.

Tyler says he likes to hunt and fish, and has done a lot of both. He also likes Little League baseball. As for deer hunting, he likes it all—but prefers evening hunts. Texas Trophy Hunters Association wants to congratulate Tyler for his first mule deer buck, and hope it’s not his last. —Horace Gore

TEXAS FISH

TEXAS FISH

Texas, with its diverse landscapes and abundant water resources, offers a haven for anglers seeking a rich and varied fishing experience. From the Gulf Coast to the freshwater lakes and rivers, the Lone Star State boasts an array of fish species, making it a premier destination for fishing enthusiasts.

One of the most sought-after fish in Texas is the iconic largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Known for its aggressive strikes and powerful fights, the largemouth bass is abundant in the state's numerous lakes and reservoirs. Anglers flock to renowned bass fishing destinations like Lake Fork, Sam Rayburn Reservoir, and Falcon Lake, where trophy-sized bass are frequently caught. The thrill of landing a double-digit bass in the Lone Star State is a draw that keeps anglers returning year after year.

The Texas Gulf Coast offers a saltwater fishing paradise, with species like redfish, speckled trout, and flounder enticing anglers to its shores. The expansive coastal marshes, bays, and estuaries provide fertile grounds for inshore fishing adventures. The shallow flats and intricate bay systems make it a prime location for anglers pursuing the "Texas Slam," a coveted catch that includes redfish, speckled trout, and flounder all in one day.

Redfish, also known as red drum, are a staple of Texas saltwater fishing. These powerful and beautiful fish are known for their distinctive copper-colored tails and their willingness to strike a variety of lures. The Texas coast offers ample opportunities for both sight casting to tailing redfish in the shallows and targeting them around oyster reefs and grassy flats.

Speckled trout, or "specks," are another prized catch along the Texas coast. These silvery, spotted fish are known for their tasty white flesh. Anglers often target them using a variety of artificial lures or live bait in the grassy shallows or near structure like rocks and jetties.

Flounder, with their unique appearance and delicious taste, round out the Texas Slam. Anglers frequently target flounder by casting artificial lures or presenting live bait along the sandy bottoms and channels. The thrill of feeling that distinct thump on the line when a flounder strikes is a memorable experience for those fishing the Texas Gulf Coast.

In addition to the popular game fish, Texas waters host a variety of other species that offer diverse fishing opportunities. Catfish, crappie, sunfish, and striped bass thrive in the state's numerous rivers and lakes. Whether fishing from the banks, a boat, or a kayak, anglers in Texas can find suitable waters to pursue their preferred species.

Texas also has a strong tradition of freshwater fly fishing. The Guadalupe River, in particular, is renowned for its rainbow and brown trout fisheries. Anglers flock to its cool, clear waters for a chance to catch trout against the picturesque Hill Country backdrop.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) actively manages and conserves the state's fisheries. They implement various programs to ensure sustainable and thriving fish populations, promoting catch-and-release practices and monitoring regulations to maintain healthy ecosystems.

Cheap Texas Turkey hunts : Budget-Friendly Adventure

Texas, with its vast and diverse landscapes, offers an exciting and affordable opportunity for avid hunters to experience thrilling turkey hunts without breaking the bank. Whether you are a seasoned hunter or a beginner looking for a cost-effective adventure, Texas has numerous options for Texas Turkey Hunts that provide an unforgettable experience. In this article, we'll explore some key aspects of budget-friendly turkey hunting in the Lone Star State.

Abundance of Turkey Species:

Texas is home to various turkey species, including the Rio Grande and Eastern turkeys. The state's diverse ecosystems, ranging from piney woods to prairies, provide a unique opportunity to pursue different turkey subspecies. This variety ensures that hunters have plenty of options when choosing their preferred hunting location and targeted turkey species.

Public Land Opportunities:

One of the most economical ways to enjoy a turkey hunt in Texas is by exploring the numerous public hunting lands available throughout the state. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) manages various wildlife management areas (WMAs) and state parks that allow hunting. These public lands often offer affordable hunting permits and ample opportunities to bag a turkey.

Affordable Outfitters:

For those who prefer a guided experience, several outfitters in Texas specialize in providing budget-friendly turkey hunts. These outfitters often offer package deals that include lodging, meals, and guides, making the overall cost more manageable. Researching and contacting local outfitters can help hunters find the best deals and packages tailored to their budget.

DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Hunting:

Texas allows hunters to pursue turkeys on private lands with the landowner's permission. This presents an excellent opportunity for budget-conscious hunters to arrange their own hunts without the need for expensive outfitters. Building relationships with landowners, accessing online resources, and networking within the hunting community can help individuals identify private lands for a DIY turkey hunt.

Off-Peak Season Savings:

Consider planning your turkey hunt during the off-peak season to take advantage of lower prices. Outfitters and landowners may offer discounted rates during less popular times, allowing hunters to enjoy a fulfilling experience at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, hunting during off-peak seasons can result in less competition and increased chances of success.

Conservation Hunts:

Keep an eye out for conservation hunts organized by wildlife management agencies or organizations. These hunts often offer reduced permit fees and may include access to private lands. Participating in such hunts not only provides an affordable hunting opportunity but also contributes to wildlife conservation efforts. Cheap Texas turkey hunts are within reach for hunters willing to explore the state's diverse landscapes, public lands, and budget-friendly outfitters. With a bit of research, planning, and a passion for adventure, turkey hunters can enjoy an affordable and memorable experience in the Lone Star State. So, gear up, plan your trip, and get ready for an exciting turkey hunting expedition without breaking the bank.
