Wildlife Trends

I have been asked to write articles and provide a Management Calendar with good friend Dave Edwards for the fish and wildlife management publication Wildlife Trends.  This 11-year-old publication is targeted to land owners and managers wanting to learn from an expert panel how to manage fish and wildlife and the habitats associated with them.  Please check them out on the web at:  http://www.wildlifetrends.com/ to view some sample articles and a list of staff writers.  Even if you don't do your own lake and land management you can stay informed on what and how your management company or staff should be doing it.

Hunt Life Tip of the Week 3/26/12

We have been asked by Hunt Life to provide The Outdoors Tip of the Week relating to hunting, fishing, dog training and fish and wildlife management to help you be a better outdoorsman and/or lake and land manager.  Hunt Life Pro Staffers will post this weekly segment at: huntlife.com on Sunday or Monday.  The tip will also be posted on the Hunt Life Face Book page.  There is opportunity for you to add to it, or ask the experts questions the tip may provoke.  These are designed to be short, informative, get you thinking and allow you to ask more in depth questions relating to the topic.  Some tips will have accompanying photos, which this one does of a little Brown Dog as he grows up.  This first week's tip was provided by Scotty Brown and it deals with picking a retriever puppy from the litter.

What's Been Going On?

February was very slow doing mostly tax stuff, equipment maintenance and ordering supplies for the upcoming year.  But some big events did happen in February. 

I was named a Texas DU District Chairman in North Dallas and nearby area.  I will continue to be a Committee Member with the Allen Chapter, although it is not in my district.  Allen DU had a great Sportsman Night Out fund raising event in February and I was lucky enough to win the Grand prize drawing!  Not sure the comittee will allow me to buy any more raffle tickets, as the Browns (Josh too)have done very well at DU and NWTF events with raffle tickets.

I was also named to the Hunt Life Radio and Web Pro Staff.  I will be blogging on a regular basis at huntlife.com about work and outdoor adventures I take in the woods or on the water.  We will also be producing the sindicated Hunt Life Minute with good friend Dave Edwards, which is a minute segement/tip related to hunting, fishing, dog training and fish and wildlife management. Check the local radio stations in your area for aring times or check them out on the web at huntlife.com.

And lastly, I was invited to start writing articles for the Wildlife Trends.  The bi-monthly publication contains articles related to fish and wildlife management targeting land owners and bilogists/managers.  It was an honor to be asked to write for them in 2012.  I will be doing articles and producing half of the Managamenet Calendar in the back of each issue.  You can check out past issues and some articles at: wildlifetrends.com

The last couple weeks I was in the field and did manage to get a few wildlife photos - Enjoy!
