Quail Appreciation Day
QAD is a one day event to be held in Goldthwaite on May 10th. We have all experienced or heard the
stories about how many quail there were in Mills County 25 years ago. This event will take a closer look
at “all things quail”: trends, habitat, anatomy, predators, etc. Dr. Dale Rollins, the quail expert in
Texas, will lead the event. Robert Perez, the TPWD Quail Project Leader will speak as well. One-half day
will be in the classroom, the other half day will be spent in the field, on a ranch west of Goldthwaite.
We will look at a predator scent station and dummy nest sites (a little predator “CSI” work), among
other interesting activities. There will be a catered lunch. The cost of the workshop is $20 per
participant. You will learn a lot at this event. Hope to see you there.

Coming off one of the driest winters and springs on record has challenged our wildlife and resources the past 6-7 months.
Rains began to fall on Simms Creek two weeks ago with many receiving on average 1.5 inches. Last week, another 2 inches fell around our wildlife management area.
The burn ban was lifted briefly this weekend and piles or brush were burning all over the county. The next few weeks and months are critical to this year’s fawn survival and antler development. So, hopefully more rain will be received soon.

HUNTING LAND FOR SALE:
If you are looking for real estate, please call Terri Harris,
realtor and owner of DH Land Company. Terrie has helped support our website and told me today that “deer hunting
land” is still around at good prices. Terri can be reached at 512.752.3800
"Quality deer management is first and foremost an attitude… The self-imposed restriction of taking antlerless deer while allowing young antlered bucks to pass provides the hunter opportunities to study deer, learn their behavior, and sharpen hunting skills. The success of the hunt is no longer measured merely as a filled tag or the number of points."
