Chronicle Columnist OUTDOORS Shannon Tompkins Tompkins: Attwater's prairie chickens fighting to survive A half-million or more Attwater's prairie chickens lived in Texas when that photo was taken. But the upland bird, a subspecies of the greater prairie chicken endemic to the 20- to 70-mile-wide band of tall-grass coastal prairie that originally arched from the western edge of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin to near Corpus Christi, were even then spiraling toward oblivion. It's state license time again In barely two weeks — Sept. 1, opening day of dove season in most of the state — Texas' 2-million-plus hunters and anglers will need new state licenses. Tompkins: New season brings limits for duck hunters The ability to identify ducks, by species and sex, on the wing has always been a crucial waterfowling skill; it allows hunters to pick their most sought-after species, and, with bag limits restricting how many of some duck species can be taken each day, avoid violating the law. |
