God’s Most Precious Gifts
I am always writing about the Good Lord’s gifts of nature, fish and animals and the joys of hunting and fishing
they bring to us all. But, recently I experienced God’s world of nature through the eyes of the most precious
blessing in the world … my granddaughter.
A couple of weeks prior to the printing of this issue, I was thrilled to have my oldest son Robbie and his family
visit me for a short period of time. He brought his wife Kelly {six months pregnant with my second grandchild} and
my granddaughter, Kennedy (almost two years old). They live in the small, mountainous city of Dover, Tennessee
– five hours southeast of my home. Both Robbie and his wife are school teachers, as well as coaches and stay very
busy.
They showed up about 3:00 pm on a Thursday. We exchanged hugs, kisses
and pleasantries and then I brought out a few things I purchased at Fish, Hunt
Plus {in Dyersburg} for little Kennedy. It was a camouflaged and pink dress
with matching boots. This outfit, of course, comprised her only camo attire.
She absolutely loved it and immediately insisted we put it on her.
My next step in the master plan was in motion. While I held her in my arms,
she went up to every taxidermy mount in my house and said, “What’s that?”
After continuously repeating and identifying each critter as, duck, deer,
turkey or fish, my camo princess had them all memorized.
It was time. I asked her, “Do you want to go catch a fish?”
Her smile lit up the room as she kept repeating, “Fish, fish, fish…”
We loaded up, traveled to a nearby pond and she soon caught her first
bluegill {which weighed nearly a pound!}.
After catching a few more fish, we sat down on the bank of the water and
she became mesmerized with nature. We saw trees, wild flowers, turtles,
ducks, geese, fish and birds. Her eyes were full of amazement, as she pointed
at everything new to her young world and asked constantly, “What’s that?”
My heart was filled, both with my love for Kennedy and the joy of
wonderment in her eyes. My mind relived the times when I took her daddy
and his brother Scottie on similar nature excursions.
It was getting late as Kennedy picked a wild flower and handed it to me
saying, “I love you Papa.”
I knew we had to leave and I gathered her into my arms, but I looked around
one more time, to lock this moment in my heart and mind forever.
Thank you Lord!

STO Magazine editor and proud grand-
pa, Rob Somerville is shown here
along with his precious granddaugh-
ter, Kennedy Somerville {almost two
years old - from Dover, Tennessee}
holding up her first fish ever - a big
bluegill. The little princess caught this
fish while visiting Rob on June, 6th.
She is wearing the new camo outfit
and boots that proud Papa bought her.

hough many Southern
anglers consider bass
and crappie to be the ultimate
in game fish, as far as deli-
cious eating and tenacious
fighting ability few fish can
compare to the catfish. If any
of you have ever felt a big cat
put up a fight on light tack-
le, then I am sure that you
too have gotten “Cat Scratch
Fever.”
Channels, Blues and
Flatheads
In Tennessee, where I live,
there are six catfish species.
Of these species, the three
that most anglers set their
hooks out for are channel,
blues and flathead cats. Blue
and flathead catfish can reach
to over 100 pounds. Channel
cats may get up to 60 pounds.
The current state record
for blue cat is 82 pounds -
7 ounces, caught from Ft.
Loudoun Lake. The record
flathead weighed in at 85
pounds - 15 ounces and was
caught from the Hiwassee
River area, of Chickamauga
Lake. The Tennessee state re-
cord channel cat tipped the
scales at 41 pounds and was
caught in Fall Creek Falls
Lake.
The fish most anglers in
our region are familiar with
catching is the channel cat. It
has blue/grey or silver sides
and often has
spots visible on
its body when
it is young, but
the spots are
outgrown as the
fish ages. Its tail
has a deep fork.
The blue cat-
fish can be con-
fused with a
spotless chan-
nel cat, but it is
usually dark blu-
ish in color and
the younger fish
are not spotted.
The anal fin is
longer and has a
straighter edge than a chan-
nel cat, whose anal fin is
more rounded.
The flathead catfish can be
spotted by its jutting lower
jaw and has a more flattened
head than the other cats. It
is a yellowish brown color
and usually mottled. Its tail
has a rounded fin and is not
deeply forked.
A Cat of a Different Color
In this issue, I will intro-
duce you to a cat of a dif-
ferent color, a natural odd-
ity if you will. The fish I am
talking about is the albino
catfish.
Albino channel catfish are
quite rare in open seas and
only exist in some parts of
the world. However, they do
exist in some rivers {Tennes-
see River} and local ponds in
Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas.
I was fortunate to find one
of these ponds, along with
my good friend, John Latham
of Dyersburg, Tennessee.
The White Ghost
John had told me he knew
of a large private pond where
the owner decided he needed
to deplete some of his over-
population of bass, because
there were so may fish it was
stunting the average size to
about a pound each. I told
him that I knew just the two
anglers to help him out …
me and John.
I grabbed some ultra-light
gear and tackle, along with
some small artificial baits,
and off we went to the eleven
acre pond.
My first six casts netted an
aggressive bass each time,
weighing in at between ¾ lb
to 2 ½ lbs. each. I was hav-
ing a ball on the ultra-light
gear. John’s luck was simi-
lar and we were both grin-
ning from ear to ear with the
frantic action.
Moby Dick – The White
Whale
All of a sudden, my small
roadrunner style jig was
slammed. My rod arced into
a semi-circle momentarily,
and then my 4 lb. test line
snapped with the sound of
a .22 rifle. I was standing
there dumbfounded with my
eyes bugging out and my jaw
wide, “What the $%&*#@%
was that?”
John wiped the tears of
laughter from his eyes and
said, “Oh yea, I forgot to tell
you that there are some big
catfish in here.”
He then held his arms about
three feet apart and raised his
eyebrows, showing me how
big the cats were.
Knowing that sometimes
John exaggerated, especial-
ly about women and fishing,
I just began retying my line
on the shore.
Something caught my eye
in my peripheral vision, and
I glanced at the water. It
looked like three giant white
blurs were sliding through
the water, about four feet
from the shoreline, just un-
der the surface.
As soon as I saw them,
they seemed to magically
disappear. I shook my head,
thinking that the 90 degree
sun and two Bud Lights I had
consumed earlier were play-
ing tricks on me.
Moments later, two more
shimmering images of about
the same size, swam by in
the other direction. I dropped
my pole and began running
to my truck. John yelled to
me, wanting to know where I
was going. I just replied that
I would be right back.
I returned about a half hour
later, with two medium-du-
ty bass rigs, some size 2/0
hooks, some barrel weights
and a tub of chicken liv-
er. Handing a rod to John,
I looked at him and said,
“Let’s do this.”
We cast our baited lines
out and within five minutes
we were both in for the fight
of our lifetime. Our poles
bowed and the whirring drag
let the monster cats peel line
against our reel’s drag. There
was no forcing these fish in.
They had to be played like a
fine violin.
As they began to wear
down and splash across the
surface, we saw what we had
hooked. They were huge “al-
bino” channel cats, weighing
in at about twelve pounds
each!
We ended up bringing in
eleven of these giants, vary-
ing in weight from nine to
twenty-two pounds each.
We had a ball that day and
let’s just say that Ahab final-
ly caught Moby Dick – the
white whale!

he other day while I
was sitting in a local
café I own, I came across
some old papers and noticed
a local newspaper that was
dated April 10th, 1941. It
was a rude awakening to see
the news and especially the
prices of groceries. For ex-
ample, pork sausage was 12.5
cents a pound, bacon 23 cents
a pound, coffee 22.5 cents
a pound, and milk 22 cents
for 3 tall cans. During these
“Good Ole Days” people
were still hunting the raccoon
for meat and to skin them
and sell their hides. I started
thinking, “Man those guys
were tough. They didn’t have
it as easy as we do today.
Rough Hunting for Coon-
ers of the Past
For instance, in “The Good
Ole Days” the coon hunt-
ers of this era had what they
called a carbide light, which
consisted of taking the chem-
ical carbide and mixing it
with water in a canister. This
in turn produced a gas that
comes from a small hole and
could be lit. It would produce
a fairly dim light to shine the
tree. The bad part about this
type of light was that it could
blow up on you if you were
not careful when using the
chemical mixture. Now we
have lights that are recharge-
able and that are anywhere
from a 12 volt to a 28 volt.
These beacons are so bright
that they will seemingly light
up the sky enough to signal
airplanes in for a landing.
The second example of
The Good Ole
Daysof Cooning?By Shawn Todd
This photo, depicting coon hunters from the early 1920’s, shows that cooners of old had it tougher than their modern counterparts. But, due
to the fact that cooning was in their blood, they persevered.

these hard times was evi-
dent in the training of the
coon dogs. Back then you
had to locate and discipline
the dogs using your eyes,
ears, voice and plenty of leg
power. If you could catch
them running deer or rabbits,
or if it was 4:00 a.m. and you
had to work soon, you often
times had to leave your dog
and hope to find it the next
day. Many times this led to
dogs getting picked up, or in
the worst case scenarios, run
over by a vehicle or train!
I went through the process
of leaving my canine com-
panion out overnight {when
I could not find him} many
times in my youth and it is
no fun. I would ask people
to go coon hunting with me
back then and they would
say, “The last time I went
with you, we did not get in
till 3 or 4 in the morning, due
to chasing down dogs.”
Conveniences of the Mod-
ern Day Cooner
Today, we have shock col-
lars (E-Collars that in no way
harm your dogs when used
properly) to help discipline
dogs that chase critters other
than coons and to teach the
dogs to come promptly to
you, when you call them. Yes
sir, no more late nights for
me. Another innovative and
important tool is the track-
ing systems of today, which
are vastly improved when
compared to the older ones.
We did not have these when
I was a kid! You had to walk
for miles to hear your dogs,
to make sure where they were
and you still had to worry
about the road traffic and
trains. Today, you can flip
on your Garmin and know
exactly where your dogs are
with a birds-eye view from a
satellite and a detailed map
that shows all roads, creeks
and rivers.
Modern Days Mean
Warmth, Safety &
Comfort
In the old days, regard-
ing clothes and boots, you
were very limited. Back then
you had hip boots that were
heavy and not briar proof,
coveralls and heavy army
clothes for the cold. Now,
thanks to John Wick, we have
hips boots that are lighter and
briar proof.
We used to have to put
on two pair of wool socks
to keep our feet warm, and
sweating in your boots was
a horrible problem, making
your feet get even colder.
Now, with a product called
Bama Sox your feet stay
warm and dry, as moisture is
wicked away from your feet.
The folks at Under Armor,
offers us a great, light-weight
line of clothes that keeps us
warm and absorbs the sweat
from your body. There is
nothing worse than hunting
in the cold, and getting a
chill from sweating, caused
by long walks when coon
hunting. I could go on and
on about the advancements
about clothes, boots and tech-
nology for coon hunting. But,
all you older hunters know
what I am talking about.
Maybe, when you young
hunters are listening to the
old timers talking about “The
Good Ole Days” you can sit
back and listen and reflect on
if those times of past were re-
ally that good.
On parting, I would like
to congratulate Corey Jef-
feries and his Black and Tan
female (Grch Ntch Muddy
River Tiny Twister) for win-
ning the Queen of the hunt at
Princeton, Kentucky. I also
want to congratulate Johnny
Copeland for his big win at
Black and Tan Days at Flo-
ra, Illinois. with his Black
and Tan (Ntch Muddy River
Lola Htx). Remember, take
a kid hunting or fishing and
get them away from the vid-
eo games. If any STO read-
ers want to talk coons or go
on a hunt, you cam email
me at ShawnTodd1970@ya-
hoo.com.
Until next time, see you at

Last issue we talked about basic marking for retrievers. Whether doing singles or triple
marks with different angles of distances, your training repetition will add the confidence need-
ed to instill a good marking dog. Not all dogs are going to be the marking champion we all
want, but some techniques we are going to talk about will help with the weaker marking dog.
Previously, we talked about the dog training dummies on the market and adding the trailers
{white/black flags} off the back of the dummy. This visual gives the dog more focus with the
retrieval distances needed. Duck or pigeon wings can be tied to the chest area of the bird-like
training dummies with rubber bands or decoy strings to enhance the flapping effect after the
dummy has been thrown. Gun fire or blanks used at the marking area will get the dogs atten-
tion. Saying, “Hey, Hey!” and waving a dummy at the winger station, creates that excitement.
There is the one marking training procedure that is hard to accomplish and to find in duck
hunting dogs. It is the “real deal” or three-bird shooting. This takes going out with your hunt-
ing buddies after beginning the previous mark training we have discussed up to this point
and showing your dog what all that previous training was all about. Remember to let your
buddies shoot while you maintain steadiness and control of your dog. With all of the excite-
ment of birds flying and guns blazing, the dog will begin to understand what all the train-
ings is used for.
Another important technique in retriever training is getting the dog to focus on what I like
to call “counting the marks.” This drill is used more for competitions, but can relate to mark-
ing in the field. Start with two to three basic field marks, some short and others at longer dis-
tances. The problem usually occurs with the third mark. The dog just cannot remember the
location of the mark. If this happens, shorten the distance of the marks and add a fourth and
fifth mark. I know that this may not make sense, but with a dog that has moderate to superb
marking ability, I have experienced this to work with time and patience. The dog should pick
up that third and fourth mark. If it does pick up all the marks, whether being short or long
distance of different terrain, your supper meal will taste a whole lot better and your game
bag fuller.
Remember go to the field first, and then switch to the water marking work. Be consistent
and patient, and take your time. The dog is maturing and you as a handler are learning too.

In Pursuit of a Dream,
Fyrne LakeBy Kevin Griffith
Editor’s note: This ar-
ticle is the third in a series
that chronicles Kevin and
Diana Griffith’s experienc-
es with their dream prop-
erty at Fyrne Lake, located
just outside of Dyersburg,
Tennessee.
n 2004, my wife and I had
just purchased our dream
property, Fyrne Lake, locat-
ed northwest of Dyersburg,
Tennessee. We still worked
and lived in Florida, but we
hoped to spend at least one
long weekend per month in
Tennessee. Life comes in
waves and this season of life
was going to require a surf
board!
Besides just acquiring our
new property and beginning
to digest its debt, we had
an expanding and demand-
ing business in Florida, two
teenagers (enough said) and
Diana {my wife} had just
given birth to our new son,
Andrew. Life was full and
free time was non-existent.
Yet, the lake called out and
we made time for it.
The Fyrne Lake property
was a true wilderness. It is
situated on the Chickasaw

porate picnic at the beautiful natural setting

plenty of space, an oversized stone fireplace
and an excellent lake view.

Bluff, with rugged terrain
containing more than 200’
of elevation differential. The
majority of the property con-
sisted of woods, with only
one rough trail going from
the east side of lake across
the top to the west. Farming
was taking place on the few
ridge fields present. How-
ever, the only road was dirt
and stretched for over a mile
from the entrance to the lake
landing. Whenever it rained
the road was impassable,
which we discovered on one
of the drives up in the family
van. With a newborn in the
back and freezing cold rain
pouring down, we became
stuck in the mud two thirds
of the way into the property.
Diana was not amused! She
had warned me. But I had
just driven all night to get
there and I just had to see
the lake. With Andrew cry-
ing in the back and Diana’s
demands for results increas-
ingly intense, Jeremy (my
teenage son) and I eventu-
ally freed the van and we
added graveling the road to
our list of needed property
improvements.
Besides improving the
road, we needed a structure
to camp in and to store our
equipment and supplies. I
began checking out portable
storage buildings. However,
I discovered that since they
are transported on the high-
way, these buildings have a
maximum width that did not
allow the dimensions I re-
quired for our boats, vehicles
and camping area. Luckily I
discovered Derksen Portable
Buildings. While discuss-
ing my needs with the lo-
cal dealer, he revealed that
Derksen would assemble an
oversized building on-site.
After defining my desired
configuration and coming to
an agreement on price, we
scheduled the delivery for
our next visit. I was excited
about the prospect of adding
our first structure to the farm,
yet I was unprepared for the
unique gift that was going to
be a part of it.
Derksen is a Mennonite
family-owned and operated
business in Hickory, Ken-
tucky. Deliveries of their
preassembled buildings are
normally contracted out.
However, since our building
was going to be assembled
on site, two Mennonite fami-
lies, complete with children,
delivered the building com-
ponents and worked together
in the assembly process. All
were in traditional Menno-
nite clothing, which seemed
very similar to the Amish
clothing that I was familiar
with from southern Indiana.
But to our surprise, unlike
the Amish, they cranked up
a generator and brought out
their power tools. In retro-
spect, I should have realized
they would have power tools,
since they pulled up their
trailer with a pick-up truck
instead of horses.
Diana and I thoroughly
enjoyed the experience of
interacting with the fami-
lies, watching their young
children play and observing
the teamwork exhibited by

husbands and wives assem-
bling the building. They were
young, joy-filled people en-
joying the hard physical labor
of the day’s work while shar-
ing precious family moments
while doing it. We were both
impressed at seeing how they
were incorporating the tech-
nology of the present, while
maintaining the family and
God centered lifestyle that is
so often lost in our modern
world. My wife and I were
blessed by this experience
and I think of that day often
as a reminder of the priori-
ties I wish to emphasize in
my own life.
With our building in
place the farm was now ready
for “camping” occupancy.
As I transported our equip-
ment and supplies to the
farm, I would camp in our
new structure and enjoyed
every second of it! The quiet
of the nights were only bro-
ken by the hoot of an owl
or the rustling of leaves in
the woods. When the wind
blew, the sound of the breeze
was so soothing and peace-
ful. And when I looked up
in the night, the skies were
so clear! I had heard stories
before about how many stars
you could see once you got
far enough away from city
lights, however, I had NEV-
ER seen so many stars! In
fact, I would swear I could
see the Milky Way stretch-
ing across the sky!
Staying the night on the
farm was an adventure that I
wanted to share with Diana.
However, I soon found out
that Diana and our infant son
were not as excited as I was
about spending the night in
a shed! Diana loves camp-
ing and would have enjoyed
it as well if she had not need-
ed to care for Andrew. So
we came to a compromise.
A room at a hotel would be
rented in town and our days
would be spent on the farm.
Occasionally, usually one or
two nights on a longer trip,
I would stay the night and
camp on the farm while Di-
ana and Andrew returned to
the hotel. Not the best situ-
ation, but Diana understood
that in those early months
how much spending the night
meant to me. I will admit that
I was obsessed!
There have been many
surprising gifts since we’ve
started spending time in
Tennessee. Just like being
able to see the stars, people
come into better focus in the
country as well. Individu-
als tend to become anony-
mous in large cities. That
has its pros and cons. How-
ever, the biggest con is that
you hardly get to know your
neighbors and most people
you run into never make eye
contact, let alone say hello.
Dyersburg, like many small-
er, southern communities,
is so different! Upon arriv-
ing in town we immediately
became impressed with the
residents. EVERYONE made
eye contact and many greeted
us. People even waved from
their cars! I cannot count
how many complete strang-
ers have introduced them-
selves, welcomed us to the
area, invited us to church and
offered their help with any-
thing. The sense of commu-
nity here is so strong! Also,
like we experienced with the
Mennonites, the Dyersburg
community is very much cen-
tered around God and fam-
ily. There are strong and
numerous churches, many
with thriving youth groups,
competitive school and recre-
ational sports centers, strong
scouting dens, active FFA
and 4-H clubs and multiple
family outdoor activities like
camping, hunting and fish-
ing. It’s also so easy to get
to know your city, county
and even state representatives
and even better, they’re your
neighbors! We were now
falling in love with the area
as well as the farm.
One family in particular
embraced us. We met Ro-
land and Joice Criswell the
first day we visited the farm.
Roland helped Bert Viar, the
previous owner, care for the
farm and he also managed
the membership fishing club
that was operating on the
lake. Bert asked Roland to
give me a tour by 4-wheeler.
Roland was a quiet, rugged
man in his 70’s at the time,
with the strength and body
of a man in his 40’s. He was
protective of the farm and ap-
prehensive of what this man
from Florida was thinking
about doing with the prop-
erty that had been under his
care. By the end of that day,
a friendly and hopeful air
began to emanate from him,
about my quest to purchase
and save this piece of par-
adise. After the first visit,
I returned alone to contin-
ue my negotiations with the
owner and the exploration of
the property. Joice, Roland’s
wife, insisted that I join them
for lunch while in town. And
the lunches she prepared
were awesome! Joice makes
diverse and wonderful home-
cooked country meals, com-
plete with her own unique
twists. I never knew what
she was going to serve, but it
was ALWAYS good! She and
Roland treated me like fam-
ily and also cared for me as a
son. On one trip, I had been
out exploring on the farm for
quite a while and Joice be-
gan to worry. “What if he is
lost, or has gotten bitten by a
snake?” she shared with Ro-
land. It wasn’t long before a
search party was being as-
sembled. Luckily, all was fine
and I returned before the cav-
alry was sent out.
With each visit, I was

exploring more of the proper-
ty and identifying how much
I didn’t know about caring
for it! There were so many
needs and so much potential.
At first, it was overwhelming
… erosion encroaching into
the fields, kudzu consuming
parts of the forest, the fish
population in the lake need-
ing immediate management
attention and grape vines
choking out large majestic
oaks. It seemed like I was
going to have my hands full!
But, I loved every minute of
it! The challenges the prop-
erty presented tapped into
the same excitement I expe-
rienced while growing our
business in Florida. While at
first I thought we had found
a retreat and eventual retire-
ment property, I was begin-
ning to see that just caring for
it could be my second career.
But, first things first…we
needed a house, a place that
Diana, Andrew and guests
could stay at and share this
amazing place. And may-
be designing and building a
house was something Diana
could get excited about.
But, we’ll continue that
part of my adventure next
issue!

he 2013 Turkey season, in Ten-
nessee, was fast approaching. I was
really looking forward to it. This
would be a special hunting season
for me, because my son Evan was
coming home to hunt with me.
You see, my son is in the Navy and
has served in and out of the country
for the past two years.
Evan has always loved deer hunt-
ing. He killed his first deer when he
was eleven years old. But, I believe
his real passion is turkey hunting
and I think he was as anxious for
us to go as I was.
Opening weekend finally arrived
and the weather was not cooperat-
ing, neither were the turkeys. It was
the following Monday morning be-
fore we even got on a bird. We were
working this bird
for over an hour,
at least, before
this big, beauti-
ful gobbler came
into gun range.
Evan successful-
ly took the shot
and I loved hav-
ing my front row
seat, as I got to
watch my son get
so exited over his
hunting passion
Over the next
week, we had a
great family visit
and got to hunt a
few more times.
Our luck held out
and he even got
to take a couple
more birds. You
know that with
those fresh tur-
key breasts, we
ate good. There
is just no way
that you can put
a price on good times and
good food, shared with those
you love.
But, all great things must
come to an end and his time
with us at home did too, as
he had to return back to base
in Mississippi.
Later that week, I went
to put the pictures of Evan
with the turkey he had just
killed on our hunt, in a fam-
ily hunting album. When I
opened the album to the first
page, there was my little boy,
Evan, with the first turkey he
ever harvested with me. As
I closed my eyes, I thought
back and remembered that
special hunt. I recalled think-
ing how I wished he was big
enough to follow me into the
woods for me to show him all
the thrills you get from hunt-
ing and the wonders of nature
I love so much.
Emotional feelings and
memories hit me all at once.
It seemed like it had been
just yesterday and then, in
the blink of an eye, here we
are and my little boy has
grown up to be a man. How
I wished we could have more
times like back then. Those
times are now so few and
far between, because we all
get caught up in our every-
day lives of trying to make a
living and Evan now has his
own life. We all just need to
be careful about wishing our
little ones were more grown,
because sometimes these
wishes come true too fast!

Whether you have a puppy or a seasoned dog, summer is
the time to get your hunting partner ready for the upcoming
season. However there is one big problem…..HEAT. Train-
ing in the summer heat is very dangerous. Dogs can overheat
very quickly, and it can easily be fatal. I hear of dozens of
deaths every year contributed to the heat. The good news is
that it can be easily prevented.
A dog can fall to the heat fast. It is very important to
know the early warning signs. Heat stroke is caused by the
dog’s internal temperature rising to dangerous levels. A dog’s
temperature usually runs around 101 degrees. When a dog
is killed by heat stoke it can reach over 107 degrees. Early
warning signs include excessive panting, lack of focus, and
in extreme circumstances, loss of mobility in the rear end.
When the dog is unable to stand or staggers when walking,
it is critical to get them cooled down quick.
Preventing heat stroke is easy … fresh, cool water is
the first remedy. Make sure the dog doesn’t drink an exces-
sive amount of water, because it can lead to bloating. Give
them enough to keep their mouth and tongue wet. Also,
use the water to keep the dogs face, stomach and ears wet.
Dogs regulate their body heat using an evaporation process.
They inhale air at a certain temperature and humidity. They
replace the hot, humid air in their body with the cooler, less
humid air they breathe in. This is why they pant faster when
they are hot. Always be aware of the environment the dog
is running in.
Be very careful not to swim them in warm water to cool
them off. The warm water will speed up the overheating pro-
cess. Never take a wet dog and put them back into a crate or
box. The evaporation of the water off of the dog will create
a sauna condition in the box and quickly cause a dangerous
situation. Always remember to watch for the signs of heat
stroke and be conscious of the conditions.
Now that we know how to prevent it, let’s talk about
what to do if it happens. First thing to remember is you have
to get the dog cool. Find a cool water source to run over
them. A garden hose is a good example. Concentrate on the
face, mouth, and stomach; keeping the water flowing to in-
crease the effectiveness. Do not submerge them into a tank
or tub because the water will get caught in the hair and not
let fresh cool water to circulate. If a hose isn’t available,
you can use ice from a cooler, a stream, or even rubbing al-
cohol. Rubbing alcohol is a great thing to have on hand in
case of emergency. You can pour small amounts of alcohol
onto the stomach, paws, and under the arms to speed up the
evaporation process. This will help cool them. The alcohol
should only be used as a last resort on the way to the vet.
Once at the vet they can take his temperature and start IV’s
to save the dog.
You must take the heat seriously and be sure to watch
your partner closely. Training during the summer is very
important in order to have that healthy conditioned dog by
duck season. Get up early and train before the humidity gets
too high. Train late in the evening when the sun goes down
a little. Keep the sessions short and give the dog time to
cool off between training periods. Be very careful using an
E-collar. It can cause the dog to overheat a lot faster due to
the stress. When training dogs in water, make sure to let the
dog dry off and cool down before putting them up. A stake
with a short lead in the shade works great. Also, be aware
of the water temperature. Don’t use ponds that feel like bath
water. Train hard, but be careful of the heat.

Deer Tenderloin Stir Fry
In this article, I am going to share my favorite venison recipe with all of you. It is Deer Tenderloin
Stir Fry. I have two sons – Robbie and Scottie. Each year, from the time they were old enough
to talk, I would ask them what they would like me to prepare for their special, birthday supper.
Without exception, every year, they both request this recipe, to this day. I hope your family enjoys
it as much as mine does!
1 to 1 ½ lbs. of venison
tenderloin
1 large red bell pepper
1 large Vidalia onion
Soy Sauce
Weber Chicago Steak
Seasoning
One package of Au Jus gravy
mix {clear beef broth mix}.
1 small can of sliced
mushrooms
1 can chunk pineapple
2 cups of instant rice
Peanut oil
Garlic salt
Salt and pepper
1 can of crescent dinner rolls
1 can sliced green beans
Crushed red pepper
Sweet ‘N’ Low
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Trim any fat or clear membrane tissue from ten-
derloin. {Any time you are preparing deer meat,
always remove any fat or clear membrane from
the meat. This takes any wild or gamey taste out
of venison}.
Rinse the meat in cold water. Refrigerate it in a
covered bowl filled with salt water for two hours.
Remove tenderloin from refrigerator and cut it
into half inch wide, by half inch thick, by two
inch long strips.
Season the tenderloin strips lightly with Weber
Chicago Steak Seasoning {found at Kroger}.
Core the red bell pepper – removing all seeds. Cut
pepper into strips. {Red bell peppers are favored
for their sweet taste. They also add an attractive
color to the dish}.
Remove and discard the two outer peels from the
Vidalia onion and cut it into strips. {Vidalia on-
ions are preferred for their sweet flavor, as well}.
Put ¼” of peanut oil in large skillet and set the
stovetop burner to medium/high temperature.
Lightly sprinkle garlic salt on sliced onions, pep-
per and mushrooms in heated skillet.
Cover the skillet and let simmer for five minutes.
Uncover the skillet and push all the vegetables to
one side. Add the seasoned meat to the other side,
spreading the strips out, so that each piece is lay-
ing flat on skillet bottom.
As soon as the bottom of each piece of meat is
slightly browned, turn them over and brown the
other side. {The most common mistake, when pre-
paring a venison dish, is over cooking. Because
there is virtually no fat in venison, it should be
cooked quickly on a high temperature, but left
slightly pink in the middle}.
When both sides of venison strips are slightly
brown in color, mix in all of the vegetables with
the meat. Cover the skillet and cook on low tem-
perature for five to ten minutes.
Remove the tenderloin strips and vegetables from
the skillet and strain all oil from the mixture.
Prepare the Au Jus gravy, per instructions on pack-
age and pour into the cleaned skillet, stirring in
four or five drops of Soy Sauce.
Add the mixture of tenderloin strips and vegetables.
Cover and simmer on low for ten minutes, stir-
ring occasionally.
Prepare instant rice, per instructions on box.
Strain a large can of green beans. Put in a small
pot and add one cup of water. Then stir in three to
four shakes of crushed red pepper and two pack-
ages of Sweet ‘N’ Low. This makes sweet and
spicy, hunting camp green beans that are delicious!
Place cooked rice on dish with tenderloin strips
and vegetables on top. Ladle Au Jus gravy mix
over the rice. Serve with sweet and spicy green
beans on the side and garnish with pineapple
chunks.
Serve the meal with a side salad and crescent rolls
or garlic bread.
Then, it’s time to belly up to the kitchen table,
loosen your belt buckle and enjoy the Somerville
boys’ favorite meal.
Enjoy!

TWRA COMMISSION APPROVES 2013-14
HUNTING SEASONS
The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Resources Commis-
sion set the states 2013-14 hunting seasons at its May 30-31
meeting, which concluded recently at the Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Agency Ray Bell Region II Building.
TWRA staff had presented the recommendations on
upcoming hunting seasons at its April meeting, with few
changes for 2013-14. Tennessee deer hunters will again see
an increased opportunities for harvest in the coming year.
Tennessee’s deer hunting is divided into three units,
with Unit L being the most liberal. Crockett County in West
Tennessee was approved to be moved to Unit L. Numerous
counties in units A and B were recommended for increases
in antlerless opportunities.
FALL TURKEY SEASON
During fall turkey season, several counties in southern
Middle Tennessee are having their bag limits reduced. The
bag limits in Giles, Wayne, and Lawrence counties will be
one while Lincoln County will be three. The fall turkey sea-
son counties added three expansions to include Meigs, Rhea,
and Roane counties {which will each have a bag limit of
one}. Bag limits in the West Tennessee counties of Carroll
and Weakley were increased from one to three birds each.
The statewide changes to Wildlife Management Ar-
eas (WMAs) include cave closures (to assist in the control

of white nose syndrome) on all areas, unless authorized by
TWRA. All WMAs open to statewide seasons would have a
Jan. 15 closure for quail hunting.
In regard to manner and means, the boating and law
enforcement division proposed that the air rifles regulation
wording be changed to air guns, with a maximum caliber
of .25.
“MOMENT OF FREEDOM” WHEELCHAIR
ACCESS
The commission voted to approve its “Moment of Free-
dom” campaign which began with discussion late last year.
The project includes making available no less than five, new
wheelchair accessible facilities in each of the TWRA’s four
regions over a three year period, within the Wildlife Man-
agement Area (WMA) system.
The facilities would provide opportunities for those who
are wheelchair-bound to enjoy the outdoors via hunting, fish-
ing, shooting sports or observing the state’s wildlife in its
native habitat. Funds to purchase and/or construct the facili-
ties would be the responsibility of the TFWC through seek-
ing corporate or individual donations.
Where construction is required, the TFWC will undertake
these projects using volunteers in keeping with the “Habitat
for Humanity” approach for home construction.
TWRA celebrates its 20th anniversary this year as a par-
ticipant in the Tennessee Clean Vessel Act (CVA) Grant Pro-
gram. The commission heard a report from Ed Poolos, who
is the statewide CVA, Boating Infrastructure Grant Program
(BIG) Coordinator. The TWRA has funded 181 projects to-
taling $3.6 million to help protect the state’s waterways.
A budget expansion for a grant for more than $1.3 mil-
lion was approved that will be awarded to the City of Chat-
tanooga. The grant was made available through the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service BIG program. The grant is to build or
extend dockage at four prominent locations along the down-
town south shore of the Tennessee River.
In addition, there was a $65,000 grant approved that will
be used for transient dock facilities on the Cumberland River
in the town of Ashland City.

tnwildlife.org.
BLACK BEAR SEASON
In regard to the bear hunting seasons, there were mini-
mal changes proposed. To avoid a conflict with the 2013
Thanksgiving holiday, the main “bear gun” season will open
on Friday, Nov. 29th, rather than Thursday.

Indian Duck
Hunting
Do you usually feel tired
and worn down, after a tough
day in your heated duck blind
or pit? Are you exhausted af-
ter a day when you sit in the
glow of a propane heater,
joking with friends, feast-
ing on a warm breakfast and
letting motorized roboducks
lure your feathered prey to
your smoking guns? Well
you may not have it as rough
as you think. Consider what
early American Indians went
through, as they hunted these
ancestors of the feathered
quackers, which we pursue
today.
Long before Columbus
discovered this great coun-
try, for the queen of Spain,
American Indians of the
Chesapeake Bay area were
avid duck hunters. Harvest-
ing ducks was refined to an
art, out of necessity for food,
not for sport. Their downy
and colorful feathers were
used for decoration and to
stuff sleeping mats, and the
meat was a treat when freshly
roasted over an open fire, or
smoked and dried for jerky
to see them through the long
winter. These Native Ameri-
can hunters, of days gone by,
had no Thinsulate coveralls
or Columbia parkas to warm
them. Instead, they slathered
their bodies in bear fat and
mud, to repel the cold and
keep them camouflaged.
They were the originators
of the modern-aged duck de-
coys, weaving the floating
replicas out of matted reeds,
and dying them with pig-
ments derived from nature.
They had no fancy acryl-
ic, double-reeded calls to
lure the ducks, nor sleek 12
gauge, 3 and 1/2” magnum
shotguns to blast them from
the sky at 50 yards. These
Indians learned to expertly
mimic the different vocaliza-
tions of ducks and geese, us-
ing only their mouths. They
used primitive weapons such
as spears, nets, snares, and
bow and arrows to harvest
their quarry. These weapons
necessitated skill, stealth and
cunning. Sometimes, they
would weave floating bas-
kets to cover their heads,
which would be the only part
of their body above water,
as they waited for ducks to
come to their feeding areas.
At other times, they would
breathe through a hollow
reed, as they swam under-
water, into a group of rest-
ing ducks. Then they would
grab them, unaware, by hand.
So, the next time you com-
plain after a day of mod-
ern duck hunting, with the
knowledge that if you were
unsuccessful there would still
be food on your table, re-
flect back on the original true
hunters of our country. When
the Native Americans came
back with an empty game
bag, their bellies would be
just as empty that night. You
know, maybe we should be
thankful that we don’t have
to hunt as they did in the
“good old days.”
