Visitors to national parks can now carry guns ABC News Share     Thanks to a new law, it is now legal to carry loaded guns into our national parks.

Study finds that dogs miss many quail The Dallas Morning News Share
Texas quail hunters have suffered through a poor hunting season, mostly because last summer's drought resulted in a poor production year for bobwhites. In the meantime, quail hunters should be encouraged by some of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute's findings during the South Texas Quail Research Project that ran from 1998-2008.

The sponsor of a possible state initiative wants nonresident licenses to be available to more people instead of having outfitters enjoying an inside track. Kurt Kephart, the initiative's sponsor, explains I-161 would open hunting up to more nonresident hunters. Proponents say the problem is current law provides hunting outfitters approximately 5,500 "nonresident outfitter-sponsored big game combination licenses" each year. There is no drawing for outfitter clients. All who apply automatically receive the license. More
