Dead Dog Walking in Washington

National hunting guru and renowned outdoor host Chad Belding’s new predator hunting series, Dead Dog Walkin’, continues this week on Sportsman Channel. The show focuses on the state of Washington in this episode (the 2nd of the series), and follows Belding and his team, primarily his brother Clay Belding and colleagues Alex Faust and Alex Langbell, as they hunt coyotes and other predators that are killing domestic animals and threatening sheep and cattle in the area.

WASHINGTON LAYDOWN (debuts this week) -Team Dead Dog member Alex Langbell, a native of the Tri Cities/Pasco area, shows us what the state of Washington has to offer, and coyotes are part of the landscape. Alex and a fellow Washington native take down some coyotes that have been preying on domestic animals.

“Alex does a great job in taking the viewers on a journey through the state of Washington in search of predators,” says Chad Belding. “Alex is new to the predator game, and because of his drive, focus, and dedication, he has quickly risen through the ranks of today’s predator hunters.”

L.D.W.F. Investigating Decapitated Eagle

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents are seeking the public’s help after finding a federally protected decapitated bald eagle in a drainage ditch in Franklin Parish on April 3.

Anyone providing information leading to the arrest or conviction of the guilty party is eligible for up to $2,000 in cash rewards. LDWF and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are both offering $1,000 to help solve this case.

“To see any protected animal decapitated in a ditch is disheartening enough, let alone the animal that represents our symbol of freedom,” said Capt. Alan Bankston, LDWF’s Regional Captain for the Monroe area. “However, to find out what happened to this eagle, we really need help from the public. We are urging the public to offer up any information they might hear so we can hold someone accountable for this brutal crime.”

Anyone with information may call the LDWF Operation Game Thief Hotline at 1-800-442-2511. Callers may remain anonymous.

Agents believe the eagle had been dead for a couple of days before being found. LDWF agents recovered the eagle and are currently scheduling a necropsy to determine a cause of death.

The eagle is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. For each violation of these acts, a $5,000 fine and up to 18 months in jail may be imposed if convicted.

For more information, contact Adam Einck at aeinck@wlf.la.gov or 225-765-2465.

Texas House approves aerial hunts of hogs, coyotes

GW: I can hear the HSUS whining from here…

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas hunters could soon be able to book trips on helicopters to shoot wild hogs and coyotes under a plan approved by lawmakers Monday that would dramatically expand the state’s strict rules on aerial hunting.

The bill, which passed the Texas House on a 137-9 vote, would allow landowners to sell seats on helicopters for such hunts. Estimates show that as many as 3.4 million feral hogs roam Texas, and bill sponsor Rep. Sid Miller of Stephenville argued that aerial hunting is the most effective way to control the animals.

Live Bluebird Nestbox Camera Website Returns To Game Commission

To view the live feed, visit the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) and click on the “Bluebird Live-Feed” icon under the opening photo in the center of the homepage.

“This annual video feed has been one of the most popular additions to our website, which clearly demonstrates that the best way to get Pennsylvanians – in fact most Americans – excited about wildlife is to show them what makes wildlife so irreplaceable and priceless,” said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. “This live webcast helps educate the public about the importance of wildlife and how to make backyards friendlier to wildlife, and also provides a way for folks to simply get closer to bluebirds.

President Calderon’s Eyes On The Wrong Border?

Blaming America for Mexico’s problems has been something of a national pastime for Mexican politicians for many years. True to tradition, Mexican president Felipe Calderon has been blaming Mexico’s astronomically high murder rate on Americans who buy drugs and who sell guns, rather than on the Mexican drug cartels who commit a vastly disproportionate share of those murders, and the historic corruption in Mexico, from which the wicked cartels have spawned. 

However, an article published by the Mexico City newspaper La Jornada suggests that el Presidente might better serve the good people of his country by looking to his southern border, instead of al norte. 

As explained in English by the Latin American Herald Tribune, “The most fearsome weapons wielded by Mexico’s drug cartels enter the country from Central America, not the United States, Read more
