Mississippi Dove Hunters Have More Opportunity in 2008

Jackson- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has approved a more liberal season length and bag limit for dove hunting than what has been allowed in the past, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.  Past federal frameworks have only allowed a 60 day season and 15 dove bag limit or a 70 day season and a 12 dove bag limit.  A state had to choose one of the two options.  Hunters will now be able to enjoy the longer 70 day season with the larger 15 dove bag limit.

Through the work of the states that comprise the Eastern Management Unit (EMU) dove technical committee, in which Mississippi is a member, it was determined there was no significant difference in harvest numbers among those states that chose the 60 day 15 dove limit or the 70 day 12 dove limit season packages.  It was determined that the majority of the dove harvest occurs on the opening weekend with very little harvest occurring after opening weekend.

“Mississippi dove hunters will finally be able to have their cake and eat it too,” said Scott Baker, MDWFP Wildlife Biologist. “This coupled with our private dove field program will make a lot of hunters happy.”  

Dove hunters looking for a place to dove hunt in a safe, family like atmosphere need to look no further than the MDWFP’s Private Land Dove Field Program.  The MDWFP has partnered with National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF) to offer dove hunting opportunities on private property prepared just for dove hunting.  Interested hunters need to log on to the MDWFP web site, MDWFP.com, for regular updates on field location and permit availability.  Permits will available beginning on August 4.  For more information the MDWFP’s Private Lands Dove Field Program, please contact Scott Baker at (601) 432-2229.

Daring Rescue; FWC Biologist Saves Drowning Bear

A 375-pound male black bear with a penchant for beachfront browsing was on dry land Saturday after a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) biologist pulled the tranquilized animal from Gulf of Mexico waters in Florida’s Panhandle.

“I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when I jumped in,” said biologist Adam Warwick, who saw the bear struggling in the warm Gulf waters after it had been hit with a tranquilizer dart.

“It was a spur of the moment decision,” he said. “I had a lot of adrenaline pumping when I saw the bear in the water.”

The bear was roaming through a residential area Tuesday on Alligator Point, a neighborhood of about 100 homes on a small peninsula about 40 miles south of Tallahassee.

To prevent bears from wandering into residential neighborhoods, the FWC urges residents to secure garbage cans and other sources of food that might attract bears.

FWC officials responded to reports of a bear in the area and found the animal underneath a beachfront home. Their plan was to move it to a remote location, back in the wild.

The tranquilizer dart took longer than expected to work, and Warwick said the animal bolted into the Gulf in an effort to escape.

Warwick was worried the bear was already showing the effects of the immobilizing drug and that the bear couldn’t swim the four miles to land.

“At that point, I decided to go in after the bear,” Warwick said. “I wanted to keep him from swimming into deeper water.”

The animal was about 25 yards from shore when he jumped into the water.

“I was in the water swimming toward the bear, trying to prevent him from swimming into deeper water,” Warwick said. “He was now losing function (an effect of the drugs) in his arms and legs, and was obviously in distress.”

Warwick said he tried to splash and create commotion in an attempt to get the bear to head back to the shore.

“Instead, the clearly confused bear looked at me as if he was either going to go by, through or over me . . . and at times he even looked as if he was just going to climb on top of me to keep from drowning.”

Warwick said that after a few minutes the bear reared up on his hind legs as if to lunge at him, but instead fell straight backwards and was submerged.

“At that point I knew I had to keep the bear from drowning,” he said. “After a few seconds the bear popped his head up out of the water and thrashed around a bit, but could obviously no longer keep his head above water.”

Warwick kept one arm underneath the bear and the other gripping the scruff of its neck to keep the bear’s head above water. Warwick said he walked barefoot over concrete blocks crusted with barnacles in the 4-foot-deep water as he tried to guide and use the water to help float the bear back to shore.

He said he cut his feet on the barnacles and the bear scratched him once on the foot, but he was otherwise uninjured.

Area resident Wendy Chandler said Warwick looked like a lifeguard, pulling a tired swimmer to shore.

During Warwick’s trek, FWC Officer Travis Huckeba and a bystander with a boat approached Warwick and the bear in the water. The bear was startled and Warwick lost his grip until the boat backed off.

Warwick said the bear’s buoyancy made his job less difficult.

“It’s a lot easier to drag a bear in 4-foot water than move him on dry land,” he said.

When Warwick and the bear made it to shore, “A bystander arrived out of nowhere with a backhoe and, with some assistance, we were able to load the bear into the bucket and then into an FWC truck,” Warwick said.

Thad Brett, a general contractor who lives in the area and had a backhoe for work he was doing to his house, said his wife had seen the commotion and told him Warwick was trying to get the bear out of the water.

“I knew how hard it would be to get that bear out,” Brett said. “I could see he was about waist-deep in the water, and I came down with the backhoe.”

Brett said he positioned the bucket of the backhoe in the water so the bear could be lifted out and moved to the truck bed.

“It’s good to have good guys like (Warwick) around,” Brett said. “We’re real glad to have the FWC come out and help us with these bears, and we were real glad the bear was going to be relocated.”

The bear was transported to the FWC Tate’s Hell office and Warwick and FWC’s Ron Copley relocated the bear to the Osceola National Forest near Lake City.

“He was going up under people’s houses, probably trying to cool off,” Chandler said. “Kids were going up and down the stairs and anything might happen. We’re all pulling for the bear to get adjusted in his new home.”

DNR Encourages Holiday Travelers To Get Their ‘Bay Game’ On

 ANNAPOLIS, MD — Independence Day is drawing near and for many Marylanders, the Fourth of July holiday weekend means the beach, family barbeques, fireworks, and – to the dismay of children everywhere – long car rides. To direct restless energy during summer travel, parents are invited to pick up a free copy of the 2008 Maryland Bay Game, available at public libraries and visitor’s centers across the state.

“The Bay Game is a great summer tradition for Maryland kids and families,” said Governor Martin O’Malley. “It’s educational, fun and interactive, making it the perfect preface to the outdoor activities of the long holiday weekend.”

Accompanied by a group of Kent County children and counselors from Echo Hill Outdoor School, Governor O’Malley unveiled the 2008 game at the Capital for a Day celebration in Chestertown on June 17. The annual publication is filled with interesting facts and interactive games and puzzles, covering a variety of topics such as watersheds, wildlife, trees and forests, geology and agriculture.

“This year’s edition is themed Celebrating Children in Our Natural World, and is designed to inspire children to get outside and enjoy the outdoors — whether on vacation or at home,” added the Governor.

The Bay Game is one of many state efforts to help Maryland young people connect with nature – a critical connection if they are to grow into healthy, environmentally responsible adults. In April, Governor O’Malley created the Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature, a coalition of state, local, private and non-profit partners charged with promoting the well-being of youth by accelerating environmental learning and expanding opportunities for outdoor experiences.

Created in 1998 to educate children on the basics of conservation biology and the importance of Maryland’s natural resources throughout the mid-Atlantic region, Maryland’s Bay Game was the first of its kind in the nation. While the game initially focused on the drive from the Bay Bridge along Maryland Routes 50 and 404 to the beaches of Ocean City, it has since been expanded to encompass natural resources across the state. The Maryland Bay Game reaches nearly one million travelers of all ages annually through print and online editions.

A downloadable version of the 2008 Maryland Bay Game is also available online at www.dnr.maryland.gov/baygame.

Connecticut DEP Temporarily Closes the Thames River State Boat Launch in New London for Renovations

Alternative Public Boat Launches Available

The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will be temporarily closing the Thames River State Boat Launch in New London for renovations. The closure will be effective July 14, 2008 through August 28, 2008 while the State boat launch is being renovated.

Renovations to the Thames River State Boat Launch will include:

Boat Ramp – installing a new ramp of pre-cast concrete, with a grooved surface;

Ramp Sides and Bottom – installing an interconnecting concrete block apron on the sides and bottom of the ramp to prevent erosion.

“The ramp replacement, which will be completed this summer, will improve boating operations and facilitate the safe and efficient launching and retrieval of boats,” said Eleanor Mariani, of DEP’s Boating Division.

While the renovations are taking place, the public can utilize the following boat launches in the area: Dock Road in Waterford, and the K.E. Streeter and Bayberry Lane boat launches, both in Groton. For additional state owned boat launches see the CT Boater’s Guide or visit the Boating section of the DEP website at: www.ct.gov/dep

Avoid Ticks and Tick-borne Illnesses

A few simple actions can prevent ticks from becoming attached to you.

JEFFERSON CITY- While preparing for fun in the sun this summer you also should take time to brush up on tick bite prevention. A few simple actions to discourage ticks from attaching to you will help you avoid contracting a tick-borne disease.

While a feeding tick doesn’t cause much discomfort and doesn’t eat much, there are several reasons to be concerned if one of these small, crawly creatures gets attached to you. Ticks can be carriers of several diseases, including tularemia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease. While not common every year, a few Missourians become ill from tick bites. In the days and weeks following a tick bite look for the following symptoms

• Swelling at the site of the bite. In Lyme disease a raised, target-shaped rash begins to develop within a few days, eventually reaching several inches in diameter.
• Unexplained flu-like symptoms; fever, headaches, body aches, dizziness
• Any unusual rash.

Most people who are infected with a tick-borne disease have symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms are mild, but they should not be ignored. If you know you’ve been bitten by a tick and symptoms appear, it’s best to consult a doctor and mention the recent tick bite.

Protective clothing should be your first line of defense against ticks. When outdoors, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and boots with your pants tucked into socks or boots. Rubber bands, blousing bands or tape can be used to secure the cuffs of your pants.

Insect repellents also reduce your exposure to hungry ticks. Products containing DEET or Permanone are most effective. Be sure to follow label instructions to ensure safe use and best results.

Anytime you are in a tick-infested area, check for ticks. Once indoors, remove and wash your clothing and check your body thoroughly for ticks. Look closely; “seed” ticks smaller than a pinhead can be difficult to detect.

Most tick-transmitted diseases are not transferred to the host until the tick has been feeding for some time and is full. The earlier the tick is located and removed, the lower the chance of being infected with a tick-borne disease. When you are active outdoors, never allow more than four to eight hours to pass without a thorough tick inspection.

If you do find a tick, prompt, proper removal is a must. It is important to remove the tick alive and intact. Secondary infections from improperly removed ticks are much more common than tick-born diseases.

Follow these four steps to remove a tick that is already attached:

• Disinfect the area of attachment with alcohol;
• Grasp the tick firmly as close to the head as possible. If you use your fingers, cover them with tissue or rubber gloves. Tweezers or forceps also may be helpful. Use only as much pressure as necessary. Squeezing an engorged tick can force material from the tick into your skin.
• Remove the tick with a firm outward movement. Never jerk or twist the tick when removing it. It is important that the mouth parts remain attached to the tick, not left embedded in the skin.
• Dispose of the tick properly and disinfect the bite area again. Disposal methods recommended include dropping them in alcohol or crushing them with your shoe heel or between two rocks, but never with your fingers.

Although less common than tick-borne diseases, some people have allergic reactions to tick bites. Generally removing the tick alleviates the symptoms.

Bluefield/Moultrie Hunt Unit Youth Hunts This Fall

A series of youth draw deer hunts conducted jointly by Santee Cooper and the S.C. Department of Natural Resources will be continued this fall. 

Applications will be available August 20.  The deadline for applications is 5:00 p.m. September 19.  Call the Dennis Wildlife Center in Bonneau at (843) 761-8820 or (843) 825-3388 to request an application.

Past participants are encouraged to tell their friends about their experience to spread the word about this opportunity.  Participants must be 17 years or younger and capable of safely handling a firearm.  They must also be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old.  While the youth and adult sit together in the stand, only the youth may actually hunt.  All hunts take place in the afternoon from 2-person stands located along the edges of wildlife openings that have been planted in oats, wheat, soybeans, or peas.  The areas hunted on youth draw hunts are located within Sandy Beach and Cross Generating Station, both part of the Santee Cooper-owned Moultrie Hunt Unit. 

Last year, 108 girls and boys participated in the youth hunts at Sandy Beach and Cross, 26 of whom were fortunate enough to take home a deer.  This hunting program has steadily grown since it’s inception in 1998, when 23 youth hunters took to the field.

Wildlife Management staff based out of Bonneau, including biologists Will Carlisle and Elliott Shuler and technician Blake DuBose, work in partnership with Santee Cooper to manage the Moultrie Hunt Unit for wildlife of all descriptions, and to provide recreational opportunity for the public, especially youngsters who might be new to the outdoors.  S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Santee Cooper staff give a hunting safety talk to all participants upon their arrival, “We want to promote safe, ethical hunting practices in a quality hunting environment in hopes of energizing young people into responsibly carrying on the hunting tradition,” says Carlisle.

Santee Cooper not only owns the land on which these hunts are held, but provides funding for the property’s management, personnel to assist with the logistics of the hunts, and t-shirts for hunt participants. 

In addition to the draw youth hunts, youths are encouraged to hunt on the 800-acre Bluefield WMA, also part of the Moultrie Hunt Unit.  Each youth must be 17 or younger, and accompanied by an adult who is at least 21.  The youth must carry a firearm and hunt.  Unlike the strictly youth draw hunts mentioned above, on Bluefield, the adult may also carry a firearm and hunt.  See the 2008-2009 “Rules & Regulations” booklet for specific season dates and limits.

Angler Trumps New State Record for African Pompano

A Mt. Pleasant angler has broken the saltwater marine game state record for an African pompano a mere 13 days after the 11 year record was recently trumped.

Bryan Powell caught the 43 pound 8 ounce African pompano on Monday June 16th off the coast of Charleston near the Comanche hole in about 100 feet of water.  The new record beat the previous record set a mere 13 days earlier by angler Steve Bagnall of Vancouver WA on June 3rd by five and a half pounds. 

Powell, 38, headed off shore with owner and charter boat captain of Yates Sea Charters, David Yates, on his twin engine 31′ Contender.  Powell was enjoying the day fishing with his father, Mike Powell visiting from Arlington, Texas.  The record fish was landed in about 20 minutes using a 7 foot Star rod paired with a Baitrunner Shimano reel and using a menhaden for bait.  Captain Yates was aware of the record African pompano caught just days before by angler Bagnall, and knew this monster had a good shot at tipping the scale to make this the new state record fish.  The fish was weighed in at Mt. Pleasant Seafood on their certified scale by Joe Shisko, a fish monger at the fish house.  Fisheries Biologist and State Record Marine Game Fish Program Coordinator Amy Dukes verified the new state record the following morning.

South Carolina Freshwater Fishing Trends - 6/30/2008

Fishing trends courtesy www.SCFishingReport.com. Check the site for recent updates and detailed reports.

Mountains Area
Lake Jocassee:

• Trout: Very good. Very nice catches of large rainbow trout are being reported trolling in 50 - 70 feet of water using trolling spoons or large plugs; also pull large live shiners in the same zone. Night fishing continues to be productive with large fish and good numbers being caught.
• Black Bass: Excellent. Early morning the best action is coming on topwater lures until the sun gets high around 9 or 10 a.m. Areas that have rocks and some wood seem to be most productive, and the hot lure remains dark swamp crawler green pumpkin Zoom trick worms.

Lake Keowee:

• Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Very good. Early and late topwater action is very good, and Lake Fork Swimbaits and Lucky Craft Sammys fished around boat docks, points and in the backs of coves are productive. Watermelon seed and pumpkinseed are hot colors, and the upper end of the lake has been most productive.
• Crappie: Good. Crappie have moved out to 30-40 feet of water and can be caught fishing up against bridge pilings at night.
• Bream: Good. Fish live crickets, minnows, and worms in 5 to 15 feet of water.

Lake Hartwell:

• Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Fish in 50-60 feet of water with downrods set at 20 to 25 feet. Try out lead core line and lures such as Cisco Kid and other similar ones as the thermocline may be developing quicker than ever. Visit the Lake Hartwell message board at SCFishingReport.com for more.
• Largemouth Bass: Very good. In the early morning use topwater lures along points and as the sun gets higher switch to shaky head worms and Carolina rigs in 20 to 30 feet of water.
• Bream: Good. Fish shallow water with crickets and night crawlers.

Piedmont Area
Lake Russell:

• Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Good. Overall the topwater bite has been strong first thing, and then later anglers are having to fish deep around the trees. Try Carolina Rigging or fishing finesse worms in 15 to 20 feet of water, and green pumpkinseed and purple worms are good choices, as is watermelon color.
• Crappie: Fair. There are reports of decent numbers of crappie being caught trolling up Beaverdam Creek in the late evening.
• Bream: Good. Fish have moved into shallow water. Use crickets and red worms.

Lake Thurmond:

• Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Striper fishing in 45 feet of water under the 378 bridge is very strong using live herring.
• Largemouth Bass: Good. Early in the morning bass are being caught around secondary points using Zara Spooks.
• Crappie: Good. Look for brush in 20 to 25 feet of water; minnows are producing better than jigs.
• Shellcracker: Excellent. Target shellcracker using red worms, pink worms, and crickets.

Lake Wylie:

• Largemouth Bass: Fair. First thing in the morning fish topwater Pop-Rs over main channel points in about 8 feet of water. After 10 a.m. or so move deeper and fish the drops using Carolina rigs with an extra long leader- a strong color is watermelon seed dipped in chartreuse glow dye.
• White Perch: Good. Fish in 18-24 feet of water next to river channels and look for sandy bottoms. Use a minnow or small spoon lowered to the bottom and then bumped slowly; crickets will also work.
• Shellcracker: Very good. Fish deep drops using red worms fished on a dead line.
• Catfish: Good. Use mussels, shrimp, and stinkbaits.

Midlands Area
Lake Greenwood:

• Largemouth Bass: From very early until 8 a.m. topwaters and floating worms are productive fished around blocks walls, drops, and riprap.
• Striped Bass: Fair. A few anglers are catching fish with bucktail jigs trolled in 30 feet of water.
• Crappie: Very slow. Crappie have moved out over deep brush piles.
• Bream: Good to very good. The fish are bedding and can be caught using crickets and worms fished in 3-5 feet around docks and tree tops.
• Catfish: Very good. Fish on the bottom using cut bait or worms in 12 to 15 feet of water.

Lake Wateree:

• Largemouth Bass: Fair. The most successful patterns seem to be throwing soft plastics - both floating worms and Texas rigged worms - around grass and docks. The Zoom trick worm in green pumpkin has been hot.
• Catfish: Very good. Creek mouths where the creeks meet the main river channel are great places to anchor up for bigger catfish.
• Bream: Very good. Fish 1 to 5 feet of water using worms and crickets.

Lake Murray:

• Striped Bass: Good. The predominate catch is coming with down rods baited with live herring, although some fishermen are being just as productive suspending cut herring at the depth they mark the fish in the same areas. Night fishing is become more productive, fishing deep with downriggers and lead core lines.
• Largemouth Bass: Tough. Early in the day fish topwaters like pencil poppers, Zara Spooks, Sammys, and flukes. Later in the day switch to Carolina or Texas rigging with larger worms in the 8 inch range off points.
• Crappie: Poor. Try deep brushpiles. Shellcracker: Good. Fish in 8 to 12 feet of water on crickets or worms.
• Bream: Very good. Bream are still shallow. Use crickets.
• Catfish: Good. Cut herring and nightcrawlers are producing over most any area of the lake from the campground down to the dam.

Santee Cooper System            
Lake Marion:

• Largemouth Bass: Fair. Some really large bass are still being caught with Texas rigged worms in slightly deeper areas.
• Catfish: Very good. At the upper end of the lake some large catfish are being caught in shallow water but not consistently. The bite is hot using cut bait, stinkbaits, or worms.
• Crappie: Fair. Try to locate brush in 25 to 30 feet and fish minnows vertically.
• Bream and Shellcracker: Very good. Pack’s Landing reports few spawning bream at the upper end of the lake, but lower down towards the dam the bite is very good. Fish shallow using worms and crickets.

Lake Moultrie:

• Largemouth Bass: Fair. Try deep Carolina or Texas rigging in deep water.
• Catfish: Very good. During the day bigger fish seem to be keying on the sides of hills and underwater humps in 18 to 24 feet of water, although they may be shallower at times. Best catches are coming using cut mullet and herring.
• Crappie: Fair. Look for structure in 20 to 25 feet of water and fish minnows vertically.
• Bream and shellcracker: Very good. Most shellcracker have already backed off onto deeper water. Fish 1-5 feet for bluegills and 8 to 10 feet for shellcracker.

South Carolina Rivers

Chattooga River

• Trout: Good.
• Fly Fishing report: The area from Pig Pen Creek up to the North Carolina border should still hold trout, though, and dry flies like the Light Hendrickson, Light Cahill, Addams, and lighter caddis flies tied out of elkhair should produce. Also, any nymph will work and in 2-3 weeks the transition to terrestrial food sources should begin.

Saluda River

• Striped Bass: Fair. The best region is above the zoo, and concentrations of fish are highest up towards the dam. Throw large plugs, topwater poppers, or fish live shad or herring under corks or on the bottom. Remember, no striper may be kept until October 1.
• Catfish: Good. Lots of catfish are being reported caught between Corley Mill and the zoo. Fish cut herring, other cut fish, or nightcrawlers on the bottom in deep holes.
• Shellcracker: Good. Fish deep holes where you can’t quite see the bottom for best results.

Santee Diversion Canal

• Bream and Shellcracker: Very good. The bite is best when water is being pulled through the canal.
• Catfish: Very good. Anchor or slowly drift cut bait at night.
• Bass: Good. Largemouth are stacked in the canal around drops where the water goes from shallow to 15 feet almost vertically.

Savannah River

• Striped/ Hybrid Bass: Hit or miss. Mullet are starting to come up the river, however, and the striper will not be far behind them.
