I hope your hunting season was much better than mine.Hunt test season is fast approaching. TEJAS’UKC test is coming up this month and I am quitesure Garrett still needs lots of help. James Davis and his AKC hunt test crew are light years aheadof schedule and will need our help as April draws near. It is important for each member to do theirpart to make these tests a success.This year’s test will require a little more effort from members as we begin the slow transition ofsupplementing our paid bird boys with club members. We are in the process of ordering fourZinger Wingers to replace the old and worn out wingers in the club trailer. The new wingers will beready for use at our UKC test. It is my goal to have all of the old wingers replaced with ZingersWingers by the end of the year. The Zinger Wingers require less man power to operate during hunttest which will result in a monetary savings. The old wingers will be raffled off at the endof theyear.If you missed the January meeting you missed your chance to vote on some important issuesregarding the Master National. This month we will be voting on rule changes concerning UKC test.I suggest you familiarize yourself with these proposed changes by checking out the DiscussionForum page of our website, TEJAS HRC ANNOUNCEMENTS.In closing I would like to thank member Todd Buffaloe for stepping up by volunteering to tow ourclub trailer in for some preventative maintenance and to Paul Beckley for volunteering to be ourclub historian.See you all at the meeting,JohnMINUTES FROM MEETING HELD 1/4/06Treasure Report: Marty Thompson - Current Balance of 5,300MOTIONS: None – Poll was taken by David Christianson regarding the Master Nationals to remain affiliated withAKC, which would require certain criteria set by the AKC to be followed.

Thisprogram is designed to pair up new members with members who have been in the club and whocan act as a guide to club activities such as hunt tests and training days. Also as a resource forgetting the novice up to speed on training their dog to be a reliable hunting companion. Chet willstart by contacting people who joined in 2005.As most of the old members know, it was that one person in the club that took an interest in him orher that catapulted the us into the dog training arena and helped us benefit from all that the clubhas to offer. So, please be open to taking on a new member to mentor. Basically, it is fairly simplejob of performing as a guide for the new member on training and hunt test, keeping the newmember abreast of club activities and potentially developing a training partner relationship with thatnew member.

HOW TO FOOL 5,000 GEESE (Taken from November 2005 issue of Field andStream)Perhaps you may have seen this in the November 2005 Field and Stream (byPhilip Bourjaily). I thought it might be pertinent for the Conservation OrderExtended Season on light geese. You will need about 5 to 8 hunters who will(How to Fool 5,000 Geese con’t)commit to being organized and getting to the field early. (Refer to the schematic. Ihave reproduced the captions here since they are too small to read. )- RBB1) WIND – The front edge of the spread should lie perpendicular to the wind. Thatway birds landing into the wind will work its entire width. First, set two decoys tomark the downwind edge of the spread. Put them 60 to 80 yards apart, exactlyperpendicular to the wind. If the breeze shifts during the hunt, reset the frontdecoys and blinds.2) SHAPE – Place you decoys in the shape of a giant lightblub, with the narrow endpointing downwind. The width of that end depends on how many shooters youhave. Add one or two family groups 25 to 50 yards beyond the upwind edge tosimulate birds that have just landed or are feeding ahead of the others. Put onehunter in charge of outlining the spread. He or she should take a bunch of decoysand drop them around what will be the perimeter while the rest of the party fills inthe middle.3) DECOYS - Keep your most realistic decoys along the sides and the downwindedge of the spread. Full bodies and shells should be in family groups of three toeight birds with 20 to 30 feet between groups. To help hide the hunter, also putsome full bodies among the blinds. Fill in the back of the spread with a mass ofrags and silhouettes set 3 to 5 feet apart. On the east and west coast, snow geeseare all white. The lesser snows that migrate through the middle of the countrycome in white and blue phases. For all-white birds, include 15% gray juveniles. Forsnows and blues, go with 15% juveniles and 15%-25% blues. You should havemany more feeders than sentries – about a 10-1 ratio.4) MOTION – Feeding snow geese are always moving, hopping over one another toget to uneaten grain first. Jig flags up and down from the blinds to simulate theirmovement. Fly black and white helium balloons about half a dozen of each, 4 feetoff the ground, weighted with decoy anchors or tied to stubble.5) OTHER BIRDS - Canadas and specklebellies often feed in the same field assnows. Set a few dozen Canada or speck shells and full bodies downwind of thespread. You can put out duck decoys too, but white spreads will suck in flocks ofmallards and pintails whether they see other ducks or not.6) Landing Zones – Leave gaps of 10 to 15 yards in front of and behind the blindswhere the birds can land. Snows and ducks will aim for the holes.

7) Blinds – Set the blind about three steps apart, in a line 15 yards from thedownwind edge of the spread. If flocks consistently come close, inspect thedecoys, and then slide off to one side or the other, move the blinds 50 yardsdownwind of the spread and shoot the geese as they’re looking. Wearing whitecoveralls and becoming one with the decoys is the classic way to hide. You canalso use a goose chair, which is a combination decoy and field chair. Lay downfield blinds blend in best and are the most comfortable way to hunt.(How to Fool 5,000 Geese con’t) Wind Socks – A step up from rags, wind socks are made of tough Tyvek materialthat lasts much longer than rags. Like rags, they add motion to the spread. Texas Rags – Inexpensive and light weight sheet plastic rag decoys can be tiedinto wind socks that waddle in the breeze. Tie them up yourself and you can makedecoys for 60 cents apiece. Silhouettes – Silhouettes offer two qualities prized by snow goose hunters. Theyare realistic, and they take up very little room for transport and storage.Shells – Shells look like geese, they’re stackable and you set them out simply bythrowing them on the ground.Full Bodies – The ultimate in realism, full bodies take up lots of trailer space buthelp close the deal when the birds are hanging 70 yards out-side the spreaddeciding whether to stay or go.
