Prairie Chickens Back Near Baytown Boosts Local Interest
Prairie chickens have reestablished near Baytown with about 30 birds seen near La Porte Airport. The birds are acclimated to planes, sometimes requiring pilots to shoo them away. Mating season brings strutting and drumming, with no open season in Texas. Henry Goodwin and Johnny DeLeach shrimped near Redfish Reef, delivering over a thousand pounds of shrimp in two days. Pat, Babe Badgley, and companions reported numerous perch and yellow sunfish catches from a local hole, while Babe shared a cautionary Alaska bear-hunting tale about a very large gun safe for such hunts.
