CINCINNATI (AP) - Federal authorities
deer hunting
leases texas hunting leases season hunting leases
for white-tail deer hogs turkey east texas
You can set your own rules, within legal bounds, for
harvesting deer size and quantity, and within the rules
of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Each person
can hunt and harvest the legal number of deer allowed in that county under state and
federal rules. You need to check current regulations
at the time you are hunting for game. Currently the buck limit is one buck in most if not all of these
counties. Rumor has it that this will be changed
by the time hunting season arrives for 1999. It is
possible we may have doe permits available on some
of the leases for this coming year.
We
encourage game management rules.

moose lake state park
The land was once sheltered by old growth red and white pine. The area was heavily logged at the turn of the last century and the great pine forests have been replaced by aspen, basswood, birch, maple and open fields.
Over the years, red and white pine and spruce have been planted by the DNR to give the park a flavor of what northeastern Minnesota looked like before the axes and saws came.
The trees are thriving and one of the trails, the Tall Pine Trail, takes visitors through a magnificent second growth pine forest. The dusty green branches of the red pine appear to be etched into the bright August sky.
The Daily News Online
Gilmore, who lives in Longview, is none too happy about the congestion, and he's not alone.
"Pretty soon people are going to start dying up here," he said. Almost every road nearby has a hunting camp, he said. "There's hardly any places where you're not shooting at a person."
Over the past few years, fewer and fewer acres of woods have been available for hunting camps, which usually set up for the modern rifle deer season in mid-October and remain through elk season, which this year ends on Sunday.

Hiker disoriented by storm
Todd Pollert returned to the base camp in the Rocky Peak area Tuesday morning. He was about 10 minutes ahead of a Routt County Search and Rescue crew sent to find him, said Search and Rescue member Darrel Levingston.
Pollert left about 11 a.m. Monday for what he intended to be an hour-and-a-half hike on the west side of Rocky Peak. When he had not returned to his base camp, on the east side of Rocky Peak, by about 7 p.m., his camping partner called his wife, who then called the Routt County Search and Rescue, Levingston said.
Pollert was well prepared to spend the night in the cold, Levingston said.
Ninety Five And Still Going Strong (from Borehamwood Times)
This month the 1st Elstree Scouts celebrate their 95th anniversary, making them one of the oldest scout troops in the world.
The troop was formed after war hero Lord Baden-Powell attended a house party at the home of Arthur Pearson, who published the book Scouting for Boys.
At the meeting Baden-Powell met Percy Everett, Pearson's literary editor, who lived in Elstree.
The men discussed launching a new youth organisation - the Boy Scouts, and Baden-Powell invited Everett to the first ever scout camp, held on Brownsea Island.

Canton Daily Ledger: Fulton County Guide
Well, we may not find too many truly "wild" places but there are a few places where we can escape. In this piece we will highlight some camping areas. In addition there are plenty of other places in the county that offer a retreat. And with the slight possibility that some of our public areas could close, some of the places we speak of can become even more precious.
Let's begin with the nearest to Canton residents: Canton Lake. The lake campground is becoming a popular once again. Numerous weekends have found it pretty full. Fishing in the lake is indeed improving and this could be one of the determining factors to the rise in campers.
The Leader News Story
Bedding down with whatever comforts they can muster, Surrey's homeless are curling up in doorways and pitching tents in city parks, keeping warm with borrowed blankets and several layers of clothing, fashioning pillows out of balled-up jackets.
It's an increasingly common sight in Surrey. Reports indicate hundreds of people now call this city's sidewalks, parks and alleyways home.
A Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) analysis prepared last year indicated there are more homeless people sleeping on the streets in Surrey than anywhere else in the region - including Vancouver.

Virginia's Retreat
As you explore Virginia's Retreat you dont want to stray too far from where the action is. Set up a home base in one of these state or private campgrounds for easy access to your car and the freedom to explore a wide area each day. Or, tighten the circle of exploration and abandon the car for a more back-to-nature experience with a backpacking trek through wildlife management areas. In either case, remember that following the rules gives everybody a chance to enjoy Virginia's outdoors. Confine all fires to the grill area of your campsite or use a backpacking stove, if you are headed into the WMAs.
