Wade in The Shade Cont. no telling how much more in merchandise. We are going to get to a place in this Country where we are going to go back to the wild west days and people will begin to take care of things their own way because the Police were so outnumbered that they could not even begin to get control of the situation. Please somebody
tell me how rioting and destruction of property and stealing merchandise can make anything better. Tensions are starting to boil over on every side of the equation and as they said in the movie.......There’s going to be a reckoning. This subject came up as I was out getting a bite to eat this evening and somebody

said, and this is pretty deep and you have to think about it for awhile to let it really soak in, but they said...... If they defund the Police, who’s going to protect the criminals???. This Country is in a heck of a mess right now and I don’t have any of the answers, but I do know that law and order is a pretty important part
Sunday observations from Christy
of the equation. If we don’t have the rule of law in this Country then all H, E, double hockey sticks is going to break loose and we will literally return to every man for himself and it will not be a pretty picture. I keep telling myself that this is a great Country and that someday soon this mayhem will all be over and we will return to some
sort of normalcy, but for some reason it feels different this time around. We have been very lucky in the communities where I circulate my papers as there has been very little to NO violence, but I really feel bad for the people in these Cities where all of this mess is happening. Just in case some of this stuff comes
our way, I’m going to recommend another famous line from that movie. As Doc Holliday said.........I’m your H u c k l e b e r r y. . . . . meaning that he has your back, I will recommend that you find yourself a Doc Holliday. This craziness has to stop before it gets really bad. Till next time, I’m.........Wade in the Shade
As I watch e v e r y t h i n g happening in our world, a part of me says this is nuts. The other part of me says change isn’t easy. And yet another part of me, tries desperately every day to see something from someone else’s point of view. I don’t care which side of the
cataclysmic shift you sit on, we all need to push the pause button and look at someone else’s view. Respect that persons view. You don’t have to agree with it. Just respect their right to think and feel differently than you do. I ask all of you, try today to see ONE thing, from another
persons viewpoint. Just one. Every day. That’s where change begins. Our country is at a changing point. Have some uncomfortable conversations. Get real with yourself. Are you a part of the problem...... or the solution. Every single day, we all share articles. Stories
or memes. Of the chaos happening in our world. I can’t help but wonder if we all made the conscientious decision to post one thing daily that is positive, could it help? That is from someone else’s point of view. That makes us feel a little uncomfortable, but we know it’s right. What would
happen if we shared that? If we tweeted a positive item? Could we make a difference? Happy Sunday peeps, one thing I know for sure is we didn’t get to the current state we are in by ourselves. Somewhere, the wold shifted towards negativity. Towards hate. And one person is not
to blame, be it negative or positive. But we really need to lean back to the positive side. Note that little sidestep of politics? Yeah..... I did that. Go do something positive. Share someone else’s view. Lift up. We have to start the process..... no matter how painful

Have you ever watched a movie 6 or 8 times and then wondered who said a famous line in the movie??? That is the situation that I find myself in this evening as I’m typing my weekly column.
Of course.....I’m late with my contribution to this week’s papers...... it’s Monday evening and I’m just now sitting down to bang out this week’s version of “What’s going on in Wade’s Head”. I
watch movies very seldom and when I do watch them it’s usually a western, not some sappy love story kind of chick flick and so this week I’m going to reference the movie “Tombstone”. Now, I
E E R F can’t remember which one of the characters that said it, but the line.... and I paraphrase because I can’t remember the exact line.....There’s going to be a reckoning, is the famous line that one of the Erp boys said when their brother got shot and killed. I think it was Wyatt Erp that said it when his brother was murdered and he had just

about enough of the outlaw group that was doing the murdering. As I said.....I’ve only seen the movie 6 or 8 times .....a couple more and I’ll be able to remember all of that important stuff, but here’s my point. I was watching the news this morning and they were reporting that Chicago had seen a night of rioting due to the fact that
a Police Officer had shot and killed someone. Now, I don’t know any of the details of what happened...was it a justifiable use of deadly force?..... was it a wrongful action?.....I don’t know, but what I do know is that this rioting mess has got to stop. These thugs tore up probably millions of dollars worth of property and stole (Cont. on pg 4)

Last week’s forecast covered the Hill Country and West Texas; this week, we’ll cover the rest. Texas’ deer population is an estimated 5.5 million -- up from the previous estimate of 4,000,000! STATEWIDE, good, timely rains fell ((April, May, June) to spur vegetation growth needed for antler development, according to a report by Alan Cain, the able TPWD Whitetail Deer Program Leader. Consequently, hunters could see more bucks in the 6.5 to 8.5 - year age classes due to previously high fawn crops. Older age deer generally grow the largest antlers. In 2019, hunters harvested 846,330 deer (54% bucks; 46% antlerless). SOUTH
TEXAS BRUSH COUNTRY’s season ended very dry. Ranches with supplemental feed program fared better. Then, cool temps and good April and May rains set the stage for another good year – especially in the eastern half and south toward the Rio Grande, according to Cain. He estimates 438,000 deer with densities ranging from 15 deer/1,000 acres to 40/1,000. Sex ratio is about 2.2 does/ buck. Expect more 5.5- year-old bucks, but fewer older ones. Fifty-three percent of harvested bucks last season were 4.5 years or older. Average B&C buck score last season for 5.5-plus- year-olds was 130.87. Hunter success was 77%. As usual, South Texas offers prime hunting, though lease prices are high and turnover is low. CROSS TIMBERS is the area northeast of the Hill Country and sports the sec-
ond highest deer population in Texas, just behind the hills. Deer densities vary widely from 14/1,000 acres to 88/1,000, with the highest densities occurring in an area beginning west of Waco, extending past Brownwood, and north toward Mineral Wells. Cain suggests hunters could see more 7.5 and 8.5-year-olds. Hunters took older age bucks last year, indicating a healthy population of mature bucks this season. Hunter success last year was 60%. POST OAK SAVANNAH is a slender region running from the northern edge of the Brush Country to the Red River with a wide range of deer densities -- the highest being along I-10 from San Antonio to Houston. The farther north one goes, the lower the densities, probably due to habitat fragmentation. Some big antlers have been grown
in the upper area, however. The average sex ratio is 4.5 does/buck - way too high. Antler quality should be good. Hunter success was 63%. BLACKLAND PRAIRIES border the Post Oak and are somewhat similar. Data surprisingly shows its average B&C scores were the highest for 3.5 and 4.5 - age
bucks and third highest for bucks over age 5.5 – years, right behind South Texas and the Western Rolling Plains! PINEYWOODS in East Texas has roughly 286,000 deer and densities range from 7.88 deer/1,000 acres in the southern portion to 25.25/1,000 in the center -- low compared to oth-
er regions. Harvest data shows too many young bucks being taken. Overall population is increasing and hunters could see some large bucks, especially on well-managed habitats. Hunter success was 56%. As happens every year, good bucks will be harvested in every region. This is Texas.
As happens every year, good bucks will be harvested in every region – more in some regions. This is Texas. Photo by John Jefferson. August 18, 2020 • Neighborhood Net • 3
