Safe Shooting Zones

One of the most common errors in hunting is swinging on game outside of a "safe zone of fire” – that specific area in which a hunter can safely fire a shot. You should always establish and stick to a safe zone and never shoot outside it.
Be aware of the locations of your companions and the dogs with every step you take. If in doubt, don't take the shot! You can refresh your knowledge of shooting sports safety with this short video.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 28)

FAIR. Water stained; 78 degrees; 0.19 feet above pool. Stripers continue to be slow and live bait is your best bet or something that makes lots of noise like a rattletrap. Expect the bite to remain slow due to the muddy water. Sand bass are fair to slow in 15-25 feet of water on main lake points with small slabs, white and silver are both good colors. Some can be caught on chrome. Catfish are good in 2-10 feet of water with cut shad off the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers, but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Water clarity is less than 1 foot on the north end, but the south end is slightly better but still heavily stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
