Page 6 * February 22, 2008 HUNTING CONCEALED IN MESH Bowhunters can shoot through fabric of portable blind BY BILL MILLER Jack Fleming is a big fan of ground blinds with shoot-through mesh. Fleming, who owns Precision Archery in Bridge City and guides hunters across South and West Texas, said he and his guiding partners have seen more than 400 animals shot out of the blinds. “I absolutely love it. It’s the ulti- mate concealment,” he said. “And it’s a great thing for children. It keeps down the movement and dulls the glare when the sun is rising in the hunter’s face.” The portable blinds are practically an industry unto themselves. Companies like Ameristep, Avery, Double Bull and Eastman Outfitters are competing for a niche market of bowhunters who like the ease and portability of the tent-like structures. And they’re affordable, ranging from $100 to $300 — depending on whether they’re outfitted with amenities like scent control.

  • SPORT FISH of OHIO Identification DIVISION of WILDLIFE
    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

Throughout my time at the University of Missouri I have been fortunate to call Dr. Morgan a mentor and friend. Without his encouragement I likely would not have pursued a graduate degree, though I am now extremely thankful for his persistence. This thesis is a testament to the time and energy he has invested in my education and professional development. I also want to specially thank Dr. Sonja Wilhelm Stanis for her many contributions in helping me through this process. She was an amazing resource and her passion for research inspired my own work, particularly when things did not go as planned. Furthermore, I would like to thank Dr. Mary Grigsby for her insights, contributions, and being endlessly positive.
