ON THE COVER: This issue of the Arizona Wildlife Newsfeatures a reproduction of the cover of the July 1956,Arizona Wildlife Sportsman magazine. This was theofficial publication of the Arizona Game Protective Associ-ation, which was founded in 1923, and became the ArizonaWildlife Federation in 1968. This “retro” cover is in keepingwith the theme of our first few issues, which are devotedto recapturing the flavor of AGPA/AWF in its earlier years.

Dear Editor:

First and foremost, I must thank andcomplement you all for the Becoming anOutdoors Woman program I recentlyattended in Prescott. The thanks are formaking it possible for me to attend as Iwas a scholarship recipient, and thecompliments are for the terrific job andenergy expended to make the eventmemorable and do-able for everyoneattending. I had no specific expectations,but when left I knew I would be returning.

I can’t really put my finger on whatwas that was so phenomenal about theexperience, but when I called my husbandon my way home he commented that Isounded high, and that it would be alrightto call back when I calmed down! I haveexperience with the outdoors and amcomfortable in camping situations...sothat was not the big thrill...I guess it wasjust the “vibe” of the place and theparticipants.

Everyone was welcoming and friendlyand seemed as psyched as I was to share

I met a woman the firstnight who was a bit put off when shediscovered BOW was supported byArizona Game and Fish (she dislikeshunting of any type), but by the end of theweekend, she confided to me that sherealized that some people like huntingand others don’t, and rather than focus onthat, she decided to just have a good time.Just wanted to be sure and let you knowyour program and good vibes areinfectious!

Thanks! Vicki Seaver

Editor: Thank you for your thoughtsand praise. The BOW folks try very hardto make every outing an enjoyable andrewarding experience.

Greetings AWF Members,

Several states and conservation groups have filed suitchallenging the Bush administration’s substitute Roadless Ruleand seeking reinstatement of the original rule.

Currently, sportsmen and sportswomen, and otherconservationists are working with Arizona’s governor to protectall of the state’s inventoried roadless areas as identified in theoriginal 2001 presidential directive. The Governor of Arizona hastentatively planned approximately nine meetings in an openhouse format around the state beginning in late June and earlyJuly. It is very important that you attend one of these meetingsto show your support for Arizona’s roadless areas.

Watch the AWF website (www.azwildlife.org) for a list of theopen house meeting dates and locations. Show up and showyour support for Arizona’s roadless areas!

Have a great summer!

"Whadda Ya" Know?

(Answers on Page 18)

The Roadless Area Conservation Policy directive (RoadlessRule), issued in 2001, ended virtually all logging, road building,and energy and mineral leasing in 58 million acres of the wildestremaining national forests lands. The rule was the direct resultof a tremendous outpouring of public support from the entirenation. In Arizona, over 16,000 public comments supported therule, versus 1,100 opposed.

The 2001 rule protected 1.17 million acres of Arizona’s 11.2million acres of National Forest, while allowing temporary roadconstruction in order to fight wildfires, protect public safety, andpromote forest health.

Roadless areas are a vital tool for protecting our NationalForests from harmful and costly road-building and commerciallogging, while continuing to allow public access and opportunitiesfor recreational activities like fishing, hiking, hunting, andcamping. It is widely believed among scientists that roads anddevelopments fragment and degrade wildlife habitat. Forestlandsin Arizona already have more than 28,720 miles of roads, morethan enough miles of roads to reach around the circumferenceof the earth. Roadless areas have tremendous economic valueas wild backcountry destinations that drive economies in ruralcommunities across Arizona.

In 2004, the Bush administration announced a huge setbackfor the protection of roadless areas and wildlife. The administrationproposed to replace the national Roadless Area ConservationRule with a state-by-state petition process. Under this proposal,individual governors may ask the Bush administration to identifyor modify the management of roadless areas in their state—withno guarantee that the Forest Service will take action.

Historical Talesby Ryna Rock

THEN

If you share with me a fascination with old superstitionsand their reasons for being and also delight in nature-fish talk,you’ll like what is to follow. It’s a collection of such tales andsomewhere therein we can account for our lack of finesse insnaring the water creatures. To aid you in that quest, I hopeyou find a lucky stone in your first fish of 1955.

That lucky stone is an otolith, an ear stone found in a smallsac near the internal ear of nearly all species of fish. There aretwo of them, located under the gill covers and behind the eyes,and in each sac are two loose, white irregular stone-like objects.They actually are calcium carbonate and calcium phosphateand are soluble in weak acetic acid. They show periodic rings ofgrowth, somewhat similar to the annual rings of trees and areoften used to determine the age of the fish. They may functionas auditory organs that play a part in the perception of soundwaves; maybe they are in some way connected to the so-called“static sense” by which fish maintain their equilibrium in water.They are, according to the superstitious, good omens to thefinder, working their charms like rabbits’ feet and fairy crosses.In former times these ear stones of fish were used as a preventiveor cure of colic and as a talisman to avert the evil eye.

Then there’s that popular notion that fish is a good food fordeveloping the brain. That started during the nineteenth centurywith German scientists who sought to explain all energy interms of material processes and popularized the saying, “Nophosphorus, no thought,” all mental processes being motivatedby phosphorus, the one vital element, in their opinion. Chemistshad already established the fact that fish is rich in phosphorus,so it remained for Louis Agassiz, the famous naturalist, to saythat eating fish might develop the brain. Fact is, it takes morethan phosphorous and fish, but there is another reason for theassociation of fish with intellectual development.

Fish is lighter and more easily digested than other meatsmaking it good for persons given to occupations involving littlephysical exercise and much mental work. If, on the other hand,you put out the physical exercise and didn’t get any fish to feedyour brain, it might be because your bait didn’t smell just right.From what is known at present, it is believed that the sense ofsmell, along with that of touch, plays a greater role in the life of afish when it comes to obtaining its food, than that of sight. A fishdoesn’t smell with its gills, as is commonly claimed, but justlike we smell—with a nose.

Fish are found almost everywhere, even in the desert. It’sclaimed that by digging through the sands of the Sahara, fishhave been caught from the subterranean waters which flowunderneath. Those showers of fish that occur in olden belief andas far back in literature as the second century A.D. are lessfactual. During heavy rain storms, whirlwinds and tornado

water spouts sometimes scoop up fish from bodies of water,transport them afar and drop them to the ground. People seethem fall, sometimes alive, more often dead, and report a showerof fish. Some fish I think I could dodge should I encounter a fishshower but suppose the manti or devilfish dropped from the sky!This guy, one of the world’s largest fish from the world’s largestocean-the Pacific-might measure 20 feet across and weigh3000 pounds. He really is harmless, feeding on crustaceansand surface fish. It gets along fine with other ocean dwellers andbears only one large young at a time, alive.

And then there’s the fish that catches birds called Silurus,native to European and American waters. One authentic recordsays one of these voracious fish swallowed a small child whole!It is called the angler fish because the top of its head is equippedwith three upright filaments surmounted by glittering fleshappendages the fish employs as bait and line to lure other fishwithin its reach. He’s four to five feet long and is also known asAll-Mouth or Mouth fish, for obvious reasons, I would say.

In addition to these fish facts and fancies, fish bear upon usin our language. We have “the caviar crowd” to denote thoseamong us who live well; “codfish aristocracy” to apply to thosepersons who, lacking real culture, make a vulgar display ofrecently acquired wealth. Then we have “fishwives”, which Itrust none of us are, since this term belonged to the women fishvenders of the famous Billingsgate fish market in London whowere coarse and vulgar in their language.

Let us not ignore in our gratitude the sperm whale (cachalot)from whose intestines ambergris, the fatty substance used inmaking perfume, is taken. This is important to the “fishing”woman—a facetious ending I couldn’t resist.

Streams and Game Trailsby John Underwood

NOW

Yours truly and fishing pard, Jim Eschner were lucky enoughto get three days of fishing in at Roosevelt lake during lateMarch. Fishing was very good, with the Crappie and Bass(mostly slot and smaller) hitting minnows w/#6 hook and smallspinners. We practiced catch and release and kept a few fordinner.

Reports coming in now indicate with the weather warmingup the Crappie are best at night and the Bass have gone deeperoff the points. For cooler fishing there is always the White Mtns.or the Rim lakes. Check out the stocking schedules atwww.azgfd.org.

REMEMBER: TAKE A YOUNGSTER FISHING for anexperience of a lifetime.

Once again it just shows that good fortune comes to thosewho are patient. Mike Robinson, Chino Valley, Az. sent hisexperience in collecting this fine Mule Deer. Way to go Mike.

DICKIE MO

Every year I anxiously await the results of the fall big gamehunt. I fantasize about learning that my first choice has beengranted and I will be pursuing a trophy mule deer once again onthe Kaibab Plateau. Then the “good news, bad news,” really isdelivered. The good news, I was drawn. The bad news, I will behunting the high deserts that continue to be encroached on bycivilization and all its pressure.

The joy of being drawn and the opportunity to spend time inthe field causes me to prepare as if I am going on a once in alifetime hunt. I have been on 30 plus “once in a lifetime” huntsthat have taken place out my back door or with the city lights inthe backdrop while pursuing “DICKIE MO.”

This last season I drew a permit that allowed my stepbrother Mike Chapman, good friends Tony Ramirez and MarkLopez and myself to hunt 40 miles west of home (Chino Valley).I was excited about the opportunity to spend time in the fieldknowing that we have seen good bucks and have found decentsheds prior to my hunt.

I was familiar with the unit and spent many days in the fieldduring archery season and knew the previous year’s pressurewas light due to an immense amount of rain and roads thatmade the entire area almost impassable. In addition to theprevious year’s lack of pressure, my season was going to benefitfrom a new moon.

Once again, I had myself convinced this was my year. (Continued on Page 20)

Have any of you hunters out there come across any javalinateeth that look like the photo below?

DENTITION ANOMALY IN A YOUNG JAVELINA

This year’s Javelina camp, which took place in Unit 36B,was a great success with five of six tag holders taking Javelina.Field dressed weights ranged 20 pounds to 35 pounds. Thesmallest, taken by the author, had a dentition anomaly that isnoteworthy.

In the United States sportsmen/women contribute $1.7billion every year to conservation, according to U.S. Fish andWildlife Service accounting. Accomplished by paying surtaxeson guns, ammunition and other items. Sportsmen and womensent $294,691,282 in 2005 to state conservation programs.Just the beginning of what they do for wildlife.

Fred established his dental practice in orthodontics inShow Low in 1970, after attending Arizona State University,University of Southern California and University of Oregon.

Fred still lives and practices in Show Low with wife Karen,after raising three children who enjoyed the great outdoors ofthe White Mountains. Fred started deer hunting with his Dad inthe 1950’s, and was introduced to hounds and horses by ClellLee. For more than 30 years, he maintained a pack of houndsfor hunting lion and bear, mostly on the Fort Apache Reservation.

He has taken six sheep in North America, including twofrom Arizona. Fred keeps accumulating points for a rendezvouswith a big bull elk, but right now his main outdoor activity ishiking and fly fishing for trout on secluded streams. Fred is a lifemember of the NRA and the ADBSS, plus a number of otherhunting and fishing groups.

Rich Glinski is a renowned writer and editor, who looksforward to lending his expertise to future editions of the TrophyBook. Rich received a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecologyfrom the University of Arizona in 1972. He received a PublicSafety retirement from the Arizona Game and Fish Departmentin 2000, after 20 years with the department. His stint withAGFD included Game Specialist at the Mesa Regional officewhen that office first opened in 1981, and later at headquartersin the Nongame, Research and Habitat branches.

His professional interests include wildlife and habitatconservation, in particular raptors. He has published threebooks on raptors and numerous peer-reviewed and populararticles on a variety of topics from plant and insect ecology tobirdwatching etiquette.

He is an avid hunter with both gun and bow, and took arecord-book Coues deer with a bow in 1969. Presently he isPark Supervisor at Maricopa County’s Desert Outdoor Centerat Lake Pleasant.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the two newestmembers of the Arizona Wildlife Trophies Committee: RickGlinski and Fred Peters. As you can see from the biographicalsketches below, both are well-qualified to continue the goodthings we have been doing for Arizona Big Game Awards.

We have been busy looking over the score sheetssubmitted for 2005, and have identified those that qualify forthe annual awards to be presented at the Arizona WildlifeFederation Annual Trophy Awards Banquet on July 15, 2006,at the Mesa Hilton (see pages 9 and 10).

BOW Happeningsby Linda Dightmon

coverage from two different local television stations. I amextremely proud that the twenty-one participants raised over$900 at the Saturday night auction/raffle for the BOW scho-larship fund.

In April, 99 campers trekked to Friendly Pines camp in theBradshaw Mountains. This camp has been notorious forchallenging weather. In the past there have been “Snow BOWs”and ladies improvising trash bags from rain gear to paddlearound in a hailstorm. We have had participants jumping from40’ pine tree platforms in the snow and shotgunners bustingbirds in a headwind. Not this year! Fickle spring weather took ahiatus and the always-hearty spring BOW ladies had an enjoyablecamp. Gary Schafer filmed us for an upcoming segment of theArizona Game and Fish Department’s Arizona Wildlife Viewstelevision show. I kind of missed the weather though as it doesmake things a bit more interesting….naw.

BOW Repor t 2006With two successful camps behind us, and the August

plans well underway, I am happy to report the Arizona BOWprogram is doing well. We launched a brand new winter workshopat Saguaro Lake Ranch. The April camp at Friendly Pines wentsmooth with even the weather cooperating. All of the Augustclasses and instructors are lined up and registration is underway.

The winter BOW or ‘BOW Deluxe’ was great fun. SaguaroLake Ranch is a smaller venue with real beds and sheets. Thisis important to some ladies and I feel that we were able to reachout to a different type of participant by just ‘upping’ theaccommodations. Surprising was the fact that we were able tofill the Hunting Desert Critters class and there was no interest ina proposed RV class. We took ladies fishing on Saguaro Lakeand set up a real predator-calling stand. We got some great

I began working with the kids at theThomas J Pappas Schools in Decemberof 2005. After talking to the supervisors atthe Phoenix location I realized that thehomeless children at the school had noaccess to outdoor activities, such asarchery, fishing, camping, etc.

How could I bring the outdoors to thehomeless inner city kids at the school? Icalled my friend, Sandy Cate, at the AdobeMountain Wildlife Rehabilitation Center inPhoenix and mentioned the concern toher. Between the two of us we came upwith a long list of outdoor activities to bringto the school.

December 19, 2005, marked the firstof what will be many outdoor field daysthat I will be bringing to the Phoenixlocation. The activities included; live wildlifeand large reptiles, a rock climbing wall,archery. Arizona Game and Fish and thePhoenix Fire Department also helped withoutdoor survival classes. State and localparks were on hand with a variety ofinformation, and Tonto National Forestbrought Smokey the Bear.

While this event was a rousingsuccess, the kids at the Tempe PappasSchool were unable to attend. Afterarranging a fishing opportunity with theTempe Town Lake, I contacted DougThornberg at the Arizona Game and FishDepartment, who gladly agreed to supplyrods, reels, bait and tackle for the firstever, Thomas J. Pappas School, FishingField Trip to Tempe Town Lake.

I was very pleased to find that theArizona Wildlife Federation and many ofits members gladly volunteered their timeto make a difference in these kid’s lives,by mentoring and assisting the kids withtheir first fishing experience.

I would be remiss if I did not alsothank my sister Patti, and close personalfriends, Hank Burns and Ken Alexander,for making this so successful.

Now, I am proud to say that the ArizonaWildlife Foundation, the educationalbranch of the Arizona Wildlife Federation,has become a full-fledged partner in thisendeavor and this has become an annualevent!

An Old Fashioned Camping TripFat raindrops were beginning to fall as we tossed the last of

the bedding into the little tent. Giggling the whole time, thethree of us piled in and zipped it up. Thankfully, we were mostlydry.

“Ok kids,” I instructed. “Make sure to set up the sleepingstuff in the middle of the tent. I hate sleeping in a wet bedroll.” Mygrandchildren obeyed, excited to be on their first camping trip.

Outside, Mom Nature was whipping up a dandy of a summermonsoon storm. I had chosen the tent sight well and we stayedsnug inside. It is almost magical how a thin sheet of nylon canhold back the elements. A fact that was not lost to my grandkids.That night we killed flashlight batteries making shadow puppetsand I dug deep into my collection of stories keeping two modernpre-teens entertained.

We spent three days on that camping trip. We ate freshlycaught trout and crayfish, built a campfire and found a deadrattlesnake. Later they confessed how much fun they hadwithout TV and video games. It is these kind of memories that Iwish for everyone.

That spirit the Arizona Wildlife Foundation will be sponsoringthe first Becoming an Outdoor Family event this summer. Thedates are July 22nd and 23rd with setup beginning at 9:30 Saturdaymorning. The venue is Bradshaw Pines Camp, located in theBradshaw Mountains about 15 minutes from downtown Prescott.The cost is $29 per person.

The premise is based loosely on the Becoming an OutdoorsWoman concept. We are offering two sessions or classes. Onewill be on Saturday afternoon and one on Sunday morning. Acooking class in each session will prepare the main meals forthe entire camp. No worries. Our very own camp master chef,Tom “Fuzzy” Anderson will be in charge.

We are also offering a modified survival class that I amcalling “Woodsmanship” to be taught by AWF member MarkHullinger. The perennial BOW favorite, Trick, Track, Trail, where

The anomaly was present in the lower jaw and is describedas follows: The canine tooth on the right side consisted of twoseparate teeth rather than one; the paired teeth jutted outwardsata 30 degree angle and slanted forward at a 40 degree angle. Inaddition, a third canine was present on the same side, but onthe bottom of the jawbone growing directly backwards on ahorizontal plane with the jawbone. This third canine tooth had atotal eruption of 9.1mm.

The two canines on the right side measured 37.3 mm inlength while the normal canine of the left side measured 40.1mm in length.

A malocclusion (incorrect jaw bite) may cause uneven toothwear which may be related to injuries, broken teeth, extra ormissing teeth or improper tooth growth and development (Day,G.I. 1985). However, the javelina in question had a normalocclusion with minimal wear on the molars.

The anomaly did not appear to be a serious problem althoughthe javalina was rather light in weight. It appeared to be healthyotherwise.

The animal was a young male estimated to be two to threeyears of age, with an approximate live weight of 28 pounds. Theage determination was taken from a table in “Javelinas andother Peccaries” (Sowls, L. K. 1997), while the live weight wasderived from a formula in “Javelina Research and ManagementIn Arizona” (Day, G. I.1985).

participants learn a little about identifying wildlife sign, go for awalk and make a “camouflage” t-shirt will be held.

The Audubon Society will also be there to lead a Sundaymorning bird walk. If none of that interests you, we will also beproviding equipment for family fishing at nearby Goldwater Lake.Folks will just need to bring along their fishing licenses.

On Saturday night, Greg Hansen will do a wonderfulpresentation on American Indian Culture through music.

This is a tent camping adventure so all fancy fifth wheelsand toy haulers need to be left at home along with the family petand anything that requires a battery. (Flashlights and cell phonesexcepted.)

We are making this easy for first time campers. All mealsand activities provided. The campground has showers andbathrooms. Basic camping instruction will precede setup. Tentsare available for loan and Tom will rent sleeping bags, lawnchairs and just about anything else you may want at a discountand haul it up for you! Check out his website atwww.outbackaz.com for more information.

Who knows, this could be the beginning of a lifetime ofoutdoor adventures. After all, even the best digital graphicscan’t compete with wonders of the natural world; just ask mygrandkids, Stephanie and Joshua.

ARIZONA ANTELOPE FOUNDATION

The year really ended on a phenomenal note for theFoundation when the Arizona Game & Fish Commission votedthe Arizona Antelope Foundation the Conservation Organizationof the year award! The Arizona Antelope Foundation has donesome great work over the last 13 years, but this is the first timethe commission has bestowed such an award on us!

We’ve had some members and Past Presidents who havereceived some individual recognition, but not the organization. So to have that type of recognition occur was extremelysatisfying!

While the award will designate us the ConservationOrganization of the year in 2005, I look at it as the culmination ofa lot of people putting out a lot of effort over the last 13 years!

Editors Note: Jim Unmacht is the outgoing President of theArizona Antelope Foundation. In addition to his many otherconservation assignments, he is the incoming Secretary on theArizona Wildlife Federation Board of Directors.

Streams and Game Trails (Continued from Page 7)After my seventh day in the field, my confidence began to

wane and I was thinking about taking the next small buck andjust calling it a season. After all, this wasn’t Kaibab and ex-actly what could I expect to be hanging out within eye shot ofthe Bagdad mine. Earlier in the hunt, I passed on a decentthree point and was starting to regret this decision. Just whenit seemed like the same result, yet a different year, I spottedthe hind quarters of a deer with its head stuck in a juniper. Iinstantly knew that a body that size did not belong to a doe ora small buck. I froze in my tracks waiting to see what clearedthe juniper in the way of antlers. The next few minutes seemedlike an eternity. I estimated my distance at 150 yeards withno wind and a flat shot. And then he stepped out, as if hedidn’t have a care in the world. It was as if time stopped. A b e t t e r v i e w o f t h e n o n - t y p i c a l a n t l e r s p r e a d

I could not hear anything, and I did not have a single thought thattook away from my focus. I shot!

The next hour was excruciating, fighting off the temptationto pursue my trophy while waiting for my hunting companions toarrive. I knew I had hit him well, and my experience told me hewas worth the wait. After topping the hill and finding thismagnificent animal, my hunt had been fulfilled.

The animal failed to make Boone and Crocket, scoring arespectable 197 3/8 for a non typical 6x6 (by Clay Goldman inPayson) and was 29 ½ inches wide. Special thanks to OfficerMike White, with the Arizona Game and Fish Department for allhis assistance in helping me retrieve my trophy, and my friendTroy Smith from Paulden, owner of Authentic Taxidermy.

It’s good to know that there are still bucks of a lifetime southof the Colorado river.

Happy hunting, Mike Robinson, Chino Valley, Arizona.
