Brief Summary: Youth Hunt

The rodeo will take place at the Memorial American Legion Rodeo Area, with proceeds from the event to benefiting the Lee County Texas 4-H Horse Club to support them at district and state 4-H horse shows this summer.

“Luckily there are no specifically listed endangered species in the area concerned and it is not breeding season for many species of fish, coral, and sea grass,” Mr Skeat said.

As we know, Utah has vast wilderness areas, five national forests, and wide array of wild animals attract both responsible appreciators of nature as well as opportunistic poachers. The weekends is the last day of the rifle deer hunt and one of the busiest days of the year. Unfortunately, over the past six months, coverage on the peak times on Friday nights and weekends has been decreased.

This week's weather change could be a boon to duck hunters, as a freeze up north should drive some new birds down into the Grasslands. Last Saturday, my son Bill and a friend had a pretty good shoot at the Santa Cruz Club south of Los Banos. They had a good early morning flight, mostly Greenwing Teal and Northern shovelers. They ended up with 11 ducks, including one Canvasback, before the flight ended about 10:30 a.m. To make it more challenging, they were both shooting 20 gauge shotguns. My son is still shooting the same Remington Model 58 that I gave him in 1970, when he was 13 years old. The public shooting areas showed some increase in averages last Saturday in the Sacramento Valley with Delevan and Sacramento Refuges being the best. In the Los Banos Complex, Merced and Los Banos units picked up to around two birds per hunter.

Hutchinson County is located in Northwest Texas near Panhandle, is very old, being founded in

Hunting meat changed when the seasons did. During the summer, animals such as moose, caribou, deer, beaver, and porcupine were stalked on foot. Porpoise, walrus, and seal were hunted in the water by canoe in the water. In the winter, they would break.

With the hopes that it wouldn't snow, I traveled to Silverton Colorado with my dad in October. My dad and I had six elk tags for the very first rifle season. We pulled our camp trailer down to a nice wooded area about five miles before you get into town. The camp sight was about a quarter mile off of the highway. There were trees all around the camping spot; the only break in the trees was where the road came through.

Yosemite Falls is a hanging waterfall created by glacial erosion. As the glacier moved, it carved a U-shaped valley through the mountain and to the Yosemite Valley.(Nature’s Theatre) The Yosemite Creek feeds the waterfall. It starts from the rim of the fall with the creek, then the water drops 1,400ft to the middle gorge. The middle section drop of 600 ft. is hidden from view. The lower part of the waterfall has a drop of 300 ft where the water flows into the Merced River. Yosemite Fall is ephemeral, or seasonal, meaning that it doesn’t run all the time. In the winter, the waterfall has a low flow due to the cold temperatures and frozen water. As the water falls down the waterfall, the water vaporizes and supercools. Ice forms on the cliff, and a ice cone at it’s base. When the sun shines on the fall, it melts the frozen ice and huge slabs break off and fall to the ground below. In the spring, the snow pack melts Yosemite Falls is at it’s peak flow. During the summer, from about late July- August, the waterfall is completely dried up. Yosemite Falls is known as the fifth highest waterfall in the world, and as Yosemite’s premier waterfall. It is the first waterfall you see as you turn into the Yosemite Valley. concluding sentence(Yosemite Nature Notes-Episoode

Antilon Lake is located just down the road from Wapato Lake. It's a great place to catch Crappie and German Brown Trout.

The summer camp program will run June 2-August 25 on Monday from 5-5:30 pm for ages 4-6 and from 5:30-6 p.m. for ages 7-12.

In October, around the 31st. My dad (Ben) and Natalie load up a trailer full of cows and tack, and heads on the road out to the All-American, which is in Louisville Kentucky. My family and I are going to the All-American because we have the animals that we believe are good enough to go to the All-American and do VERY well! If you win your class you get to be nominated “All-American” which is the biggest title that you can have in the Jersey breed.

I have been fishing my whole life, especially bass fish. I normally try to catch largemouth bass, which are very common where I am from. I was on my high school’s bass fishing team and we actually did pretty well for the most part, especially coming from such a small school. Largemouth bass are our prime target during these fishing tournaments. A largemouth bass is a white/green fish usually ranging from 1 pound to 6, they can also get up to 10 pounds as well. You can bass fish for fun or you can do it competitively such as tournaments. Tournaments usually go like every other tournament, you have two people and an adult captain that basically drives the boat and puts people in the best spots to catch bass. Every tournament usually starts at around 7 in the morning and goes through to 3 in the afternoon. After the time limit is reached, the boats then unload and get pulled up in the parking lot with the fish in them. The teams, then one by one go up to the weigh station and get a bag to put the

“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.”(Billie Jean King) Most students from first grade to twelfth grade say that sports are a big part of their life and make them who they were meant to be in a positive way. Some people might argue that students in sports or extracurricular activities have lower grades than the other students, but it's the opposite way around. Sports improve your performance in school because they strengthen your concentration ability and leadership traits.

It is incredible to me that another year is coming to an end especially since the temperature has been in the 70’s this past week. It has been too long and we must make plans together with the ever growing Hixon Family. A ferry ride might even be in order. I was in Seattle last summer where two ferries from the Chesapeake fleet had found new homes unfortunately for me they both stopped operating a few years ago. I still took a ride on one because I felt like it was on the list of things you must do in Seattle behind Starbucks and the Space Needle. I last saw the Hixon’s in October when they drove down for the Assateague Island camping trip. The camping trip was all fun and games flying kites and building sandcastle until a pair of horses

Raising children in today’s society is not for the faint of heart. Raising children has never been easy, but it is especially difficult in youth sports today. Coaches and parents are putting a lot of pressure on our young sons and daughters. The pressure to succeed in sports at
