He said he went through his possessions recently and found some of the flags used here in the thirties He found some of the old marlin and sailfish flags but none of those reserved for tuna, dolphins and other fish.

Sailfish flags usually show this billfish in white on a blue or red background and marlins white on blue depending on where the boats are coming from because customs vary at Corpus Christi and other Texas ports. A commonly used signal when a fisherman has drawn a blank is a flag showing a skunk. Or, lacking such a flag the skipper may fly trousers, shirts, panties or even bras Flags also are used for other purposes, according to the IGFA. For example, a solid red rectangular flag is flown in most areas of the world to warn other boats to keep their distances when an angler is fighting a fish. Also Flags for Tagging ALSO, A TRIANGULAR red flag with a white is flown in most waters to indicate that a fish has been tagged or released.

The IGFA is gathering information on the kind of fishing flags now in use so that the shape, material and sizes as well as design can be standardized. Also the manner in which they are flown. Both Valley offshore tournaments are conducted under IGFA rules and regulations. THE LAST LEGISLATURE may have given the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department an authority it may exercise with reluctance and that is the right to commission deputy game wardens who would serve without pay. The department has bad memories of previous experiences with deputy wardens and we expect that under the new law it will show a considerable restraint in commissioning them.

Such deputies would serve at the will of the department executive director and be commissioned for not more than four years. They may enforce state game and fish laws within geographical areas prescribed by the department. They may not serve on coastal waters, bays or estuaries. BOWMEN WILL BE able to hunt upland game birds with shotguns during the regular anrchery season was the result of a law passed by the last legislature. It permits archers to have a shotgun in their possession so long as they have shot no larger than number four in general law counties and number six in regulatory counties (which includes the Valley).

Although this will enable archers to take upland birds with a gun, the weapon may not be used for taking deer, turkey or javelina. An exception that occurs to us is the special bow hunts such as the ones on the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge where you cannot take a gun under any circumstances. New Turkey Regulations THERE MAY BE three turkey tags on your hunting license this year but you will not be able to take more than two gobblers during the fall season The third tag is for the spring turkey hunts in limited areas. Turkey tags must be used the same way as deer tags, remaining with the bird until it reaches a processing plant or permanent residence of any person having a dead wild turkey. Incidentally, exempt hunting licenses will coat more this year No exempt licenses are required for fishing, anglers needing to carry only proof of age as in a license.

Exempt hunting could be on same basis except for the deer and turkey tags required. IT MAY APPEAR a little early to be issuing the Texas Hunters Directory but there are many nimrods who like to do their planning early and for them the book can be of great assistance. The 1977-78 edition, of which we have just received a copy, has added some new sections of North Texas, Trans Peeos-Panhandle Plains, bowhunung, bird hunting and a new out-of-state outfitters section The 164-page book details more than 300 choice hunting leases for hunting by day, week, month, season or All information is current and updated. It also includes lease hunting information for over three million acres plus a million acres where hunting is free. Deer, dove, turkey, javelina, wild hog, duck, goose, quail, varmit and exotic game opportunities are detailed.
