Wildlife, fisheries
agencies hold meet
By LARRY PARKER
Breeding habits of the bobwhite
quail and living habits of the prairie
chicken were just two of the topics
discussed at last week s meeting of
wildlife specialists from around the
country.
The 31st Annual Conference of
the Southeastern Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies met October
9-12 at the convention center in San
Antonio, Texas. Approximately
1,000 association members attended
meetings on topics of fisheries,
wildlife, law enforcement, hunter
safety, and information/education
sessions.
“We are losing the war as far as
conservation education of the
people and more important politi
cians, who make laws that directly
effect fish and wildlife,” said A.
Sydney Johnson, association presi
dent, in his opening address to the
conference.
Non-hunters and the members of
anti-gun faction are increasing in
number, Johnson said, and they are
able to influence government offi
cials. He said that misinformed
politicians have brought about some
“poor legislation.”
Another area of concern was the
decline in wildlife habitat the
proper mixture of food, water and
space to sustain wildlife.
“We must educate farm and ranch
owners to the fact that wildlife can
co-exist on these lands, said
Johnson.
Dr. Nova J. Silvy, assistant pro
fessor in the Texas A&M Wildlife
and Fisheries Sciences Depart
ment, presented a paper on the re
lationship of animals marked to cost
and accuracy of Lincoln estimates.
The purpose of this paper was to
compare the relationships between
the number of individuals marked,
marking costs, and the accuracy of
the Lincoln Index (a formula used to
estimate a wild population) on a
population of known size. Silvy used
his work with the Florida Key deer
to illustrate his presentation.
Virginia F. Cogar, currently
working toward her doctorate in
wildlife and fisheries, presented her
paper on the “Vegetation Type
Preferences of Attwater s Prairie
Chicken in Coastal Prairie.” The
purpose of this paper was to gain a
better understanding of the habitat
requirements of the Attwater s

There was a slight breeze blow
ing from straight-away center
field during the Home Run Hit
ting Competition that was held
Thursday, October 6. Batters
started belting the ball at 5:00
p.m. sharp and continued until it
was too dark to see the ball. About
ten batters did not get their turn
at bat until Monday, October 10,
due to darkness on October 6.
Color-coded markers were
placed at 200, 250, and 300 feet
points. Ten swings were allowed
to each participant. If the ball hit
past one of the markers, you
scored accordingly. There was
only one ball hit out of the park
and Larry Maxwell was the man
who did it. Bruce Klinger
(Crocker Dorm) won the competi
tion and Robert Stringer
(Schuhmacher Dorm) placed sec
ond. Ron Mossbarger also
(Crocker Dorm) took third place
with Tony Grice (Independent)
taking fourth place. There was a
four-way tie for fifth place be
tween Joe Bohlin (Independent),
Steve Jeske (Dunn), Mike Phister
(Independent), and Tom Tullos
(Squadron 2).
Phyllis Stovall (Independent)
was the only female participant
out of the 70 entrants. The ap
proximate 60 miles per hour
speed of the ball didn’t stop Phyl
lis from trying.
Long Driving
Competition
Bruce Klinger (Crocker Dorm) is shown here making the winning slam to
establish himself as the All University Home Run Hitting Champion. He
stacked up 19 points in his ten allotted hits.
