MCCADAMS' SHORTCASTS Boaters are reminded of a U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Boating Safety Course slated for Saturday, March 22 at the Holy Cross Catholic Church, located at 1210 East Wood St. Hours will be from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. with a break for lunch. Registration fee is $15 for individuals or $20 for couples and includes booklets and other materials. All boaters or operators of personal watercraft are invited to attend. Help make the waterways safer for everyone by attending and learning the dos and don’ts before heading out on the lake this season. # # # The Outdoor Channel has announced that this year's prestigious Golden Moose Award, the People's Choice Hunting Show of the Year, has been won by Ted and Shemane Nugent for the production of TED NUGENT SPIRIT OF THE WILD TV. Produced and edited by the Nugent's SpiritWild Productions, the people have overwhelmingly lauded the program's believablity and down to earth connection as presented by the personality and passion of Ted's hands-on, entertaining hunting lifestyle. # # # A multi-agency conservation workshop will be conducted on Friday, March 28, 2003 in Jackson, Tennessee. Landowners, farm managers, and others interested in conservation, erosion control, wildlife habitat, summer livestock forages, USDA programs, and quail restoration are encouraged to attend the free workshop. Speakers from the University of Tennessee Extension Service, USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and Ames Plantation will focus on the latest research and techniques to improve conservation on private land. The workshop will be held at the Agricultural Complex Auditorium next to the Madison County Extension Office on 309 North Parkway in Jackson. Participants traveling from outside of the area should use exit 80 off of Interstate 40, proceed south on the 45 Bypass, take a right at the third red light (North Parkway), auditorium is immediately on the right. The workshop starts at 9:00 am and will finish by noon. For more information, call 731-668-8543. # # # Anglers are reminded that some local bays that had been closed off by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service within the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge have reopened as of last Sunday. The areas of Swamp Creek, Bennett and Robbin’s Creeks, and the Elkhorn basin are now open to anglers and boaters. Many of these areas are popular crappie and bass fishing venues during the prespawn phases so anglers are glad to be able to fish these waters. Each fall the areas are closed off to boat traffic and road access so as to provide refuge areas for wintering waterfowl. # # # Last Saturday’s Jake’s Day, hosted by the local National Wild Turkey Federation chapter, was a huge success. Some 100 kids participated in a variety of outdoor related activities, partaking of the beautiful weather, good food, and various demonstrations by several instructors. A tip of the hat to all those agencies and individuals who helped introduce the kids to the great outdoors. # # # Tennessee Spring Wild Turkey Hunting Regulations 2003 are now available, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Listed in the regulations are season dates and hunting regulations for both statewide and wildlife management areas. The 2003 statewide season is March 29 through May 6, 2003. The Youth-Only hunt day will be May 10. The statewide bag limit for the 2003 season did not change. On statewide hunts, a hunter may take one bearded turkey per day, not to exceed three for the season. On Wildlife Management Area (WMA) hunts, the limit will be one bearded bird per hunt, not to exceed two birds for the year. However, the total limit for the season is still four birds. This means if a hunter takes three birds during the statewide season, the fourth turkey will need to be harvested from certain Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). The Tennessee Spring Wild Turkey Hunting Regulations 2003 are available at all TWRA Regional Offices and other outlets that sell hunting and fishing licenses. Steve McCadams |
