This Month’s Speaker
Chris Troskie
PH - RSA, Botswana and Mozambique
Speaking On: Safari Planning
One Country vs. Another
Travel to Africa
What to Expect
Trophies and Costs
Chris, who was born and grew up in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, started his working
career as Forensic Crime Scene Investigator in South African Law Enforcement. The knowledge and
experience he gained in the field of crime investigations helped him to secure a position as Investigator
with a South African Bank and ended this part of his career as Senior Manager in charge of Fraud Control and Investigations with one of Southern Africa‘s largest banks. The outdoors and hunting was however always his passion and having been an avid hunter since childhood; he qualified with distinction as
Professional Hunter in 1997 at the South African National Professional Hunting Academy. Some years
later; Chris formed a hunting partnership with a fellow Professional Hunter and in 2003 he founded his
own Hunting Outfit - Chris Troskie Safaris. Chris is licensed to hunt plains game as well as dangerous
game and whilst he has hunted most of the available Southern Africa Game including the Big 5, his favorite Big Game animal to hunt is Cape Buffalo (Black Death). Chris enjoys writing articles in his
spare time and is a regular contributor to Man Magnum Magazine – a South African hunting and shooting publication which is distributed internationally.
Chris Troskie Safaris offers hunting-and-picture safaris throughout South Africa as well as in Botswana
and Mozambique. Chris believes in a personal approach which means that lodges and camps are
booked exclusively for his clients and clients do not share camps with people they do not know. He
also oversees every safari that he books personally and hunts with most of his clients himself – only
using the services of other experienced Professional Hunters when group hunts are booked. This approach has resulted in Chris Troskie Safaris becoming a successful and highly respected Safari Company over the past 6 years with an excellent return clientele record.
Chris is married to Sabina and is father of an 12-year old girl Ashley who hunted her first Kudu bull a
couple of days before her 11th Birthday.

August 20, 2009
Today is somewhat special to me since it's my birthday. I
decided a few years ago that birthday's are not all bad considering the alternative! This event also means that Labor Day is just
around the corner along with the opening of dove season. I leave
tomorrow with three other Club members on an antelope hunt in
New Mexico. This is a new experience for me and I am really
excited about the hunt.
As we draw close to the fall season your Board is going to try
and implement a Fund Development Committee. We are looking
for Club members who would like to participate in this activity.
Jeff Dargatz, Joe Bashara, and Greg Kershner have already
volunteered to serve on this Committee. We would like to find at
least another five to nine Club members who would also be
willing to serve. Please give this initiative some thought and give
me a call if you would like to participate in its development.
Henry Christy just pulled off a very successful raffle of an ATV.
It was his idea to give this raffle a try, and with the encouragement of Jack Davis, Henry took the plunge. Through hard work
and persistence we were able to "pull" the winning raffle ticket at
the August 13th Dinner and Program meeting. The lucky winner
was Club Life Member Ron Gard.
There are a number of other ideas " in the mix" similar to the
ATV raffle that we could consider sponsoring. Some new and
innovative thinking concerning membership participation and
events, increased emphasis on advertising, seeking donations,
additional raffles, a monthly live auction item, in remembrance
gifts, wills, sponsors, grants, and the sale of DWWC logo items
are a few of the ideas generated so far.
Based on your feedback most people join the Club to gain
access to our Activities Calendar, and for the fellowship generated on hunting and fishing trips with fellow Club members.
Therefore, it may be best to place this new fund development
initiative in our Foundation. To date the WWF has focused on the
annual Vermejo youth trip and small monetary donations to Boy
Scouts or similar organizations. With an expanded Board and
some dynamic leadership and direction much more could be
accomplished.
Please let us hear from you. In addition, let's go dove hunting.
Best wishes! John J. Laverty, President
Dallas Woods and Waters Club is a non– profit outdoor sporting organization
dedicated to preserving and restoring wildlife, its habitats and educating youth
in the outdoor disciplines and the wise use of natural resources.

Fly-Fishing School & Fishing
Gaston’sWhite River Resort
Lakeview, Arkansas
Frank Saksa is one of the most knowledgeable fly-fishing guides on the
White River. Frank has fly fished on
all the major streams in the western
part of the United States and brings
many years of experience that he will
share with you. Frank has developed
many new techniques for catching fish
here on the White River, ones that will
make you a much better fly fisherman;
no matter what you fly fish for. Most
of all, he is a great teacher and very
gifted at sharing what he has learned
over the many years of fishing.
The first day of the course will begin
with three hours of one on one classroom instruction.
Covered subjects
include the art and history of flyfishing, equipment and the uses of different types of equipment and the basics of fly-fishing…8:00 A.M. to 11:00
A.M. The afternoon will be spent with
personal
instruction on how to use
your fly rod, and with Frank‘s very
successful casting methods…how to
fish both the low water and high water
levels of the White River. This will
also include instruction on fly-fishing
methods that you can and will put to
use on streams or lakes other than the
White River. This part will be taught
using our nature pond…1:00 P.M. to
4:00 P.M.
The morning of the second day will be
spent fly-fishing the White River for
trout with Frank. This will be along
the two miles of river
frontage here
at Gaston‘s White River Resort. If water conditions are too high for wade
fishing then we will return to the nature
pond for bass fishing…8:00 A.M. to
11:00 A.M. with Frank, however you
may fish as long as you wish.
Cost: $224/pp + Accomodations

The DWWC Jr. Divas Journal
2009 Vermejo Trip
Submitted by: Alan Linson
Sunday Agust 9
We woke up early to make it to the
DWWC office on time.
Thinking that this would be the
one day we would have to wake up
so early; unfortunately we were
immensely wrong. Little did we
know every day we would be waking up from about 5:30 am to
7:00am each day. When we got to
New Mexico after what seemed
like days in a SUV, our chaperones
check and we had enough to make
the video presentation and hike the
Calpluin Volcano. Panting and using dramatic speed we, the girls,
made it to the top before the boys.
When we arrived at the NRA
Whittington Center cabin later on
we had a slight mishap with the
cleaning service, but with everyone‘s help we pulled together to
make the most of our difficult
situation.
Monday, August 10
we arrived to the lake in Vermejo
Park Ranch. We experienced the
adventures of the boat, the bear,
and the hooked butt. After Jim
Breaux taught us how to fish and
cast we soon learned how to tangle
and break a fishing line too. Later
we saw some of the boys on the
lake in one of the boats and decided it would be fun. As soon as
we pushed away from shore Jas-
mine began to worry about our
rowing skills and proclaims ―I
can‘t swim‖. Becoming quickly
frustrated Katy screams ―We
choose to get on the boat and we
are not going back so soon!‖ Luckily after less than ten minutes of
spinning in circles about 20 yards
from the shore we made it back to
land, as the boys laughed and
proved us wrong. Next the Bear!
Leave it to teenage boys to do
something foolish and irresponsible when least expected. After witnessing a bear emerge from the
woods where Maura was fishing,
the bear walked calmly along the
opposite side of the lake looking
for dead fish but do the boys leave
it alone….. No, they row towards
the bear. Right as it looked like the
boys were getting to close as the
chaperones watched across the
lake Mr. Linson blasted his truck
horn three times and ran the bear
off. As the boys rowed back to
shore they got an inspirational talk
about the dangers of mess ‗in with
the bears of Vermejo Park. (Ha Ha
boys)
Finally the Butt! After Maura convinced Kimmie to go fishing with
her, a slight incident occurred.
While walking in front of Maura,
Kimmie got her fishing line caught
in a branch. Then, Maura tripped
on a rock and hooked the biggest
catch of the week which happened
to be Kimmie‘s shorts. After ten
minutes of trying to untangle Kimmie‘s shorts from the fishing lure
Maura got Kimmie‘s Mom, but
after a failed attempt she dragged
Kimmie over to the adults. After
what seemed like hours of humiliation, pictures and wire clipping
Kimmie was set free!
Tuesday August 11
We all went to Vermejo Park
Ranch to engage in a conservation
project, where everyone shined in
their ability to help nature. Our
project was clearing paths along
the tops of days to make it easily
accessible to pass through. Later
that day we went to the largest Boy
Scout Center in the world, Philmont Scout Ranch. Afterwards we
ventured to the St. James Haunted
Hotel, where the infamous Jessie
James stayed the night before his
death and where walls and ceilings
were filled with bullet holes. We
then proceded on our long awaited
search for ice cream. At the ice
cream shop, we had the opportunity to meet Jim‘s parents. That
night after dinner, we played
games with the boys in the central
meeting room. They quizzed our
minds with their logic game.
Wednesday August 12
we took a 2 and ½ hour drive to
the Shuree Ponds in the Valle
Vidal in hope of catching big trout.

a few other caught fish. Shortly

Maura was walking around the

convinced Maura to catch a fish

wonderful experiences in New

an end and we had to say our
goodbyes the next morning to
our new found friends and
amazing chaperones.
We are so thankful for all the
people who made this trip possible. We give a special thanks to
the DWWC for all the support,
donations, and volunteers. We
had a blast on this once in a life
time trip that none of us will
ever forget!
P.S. While everyone was sleeping on Thursday night we had an
unexpected visitor, a bear. It
somehow got though a window
and ate the left-over pork tenderloin and everything we were going to use for lunch on Friday.
Although we are sure we missed

How to Clean Dove Birds for Dummies
By Rad Dickson
October 20, 2008
For High School English paper
While in the middle of Nowhere, Texas, after a long
day‘s hunt with the sun beating down, it is required to
know how to harvest the game
that was shot. The limit in the
central Texas hunting zone is
fifteen dove birds to each person. A bird can range in cleaning time from about three to
eight minutes. So, depending
on experience and knowledge,
cleaning game may
take anywhere between fifteen minutes and an hour
and fifteen minutes.
A long and hot day
of dove hunting
gets much more
tiring that one
would anticipate so
it‘s nice to clean
the dove as fast as
humanly possible.
In order to clean a
dove correctly, remove all feathers and wings
using a knife or pair of scissors, then debreast the dove;
the final step is to take care of
the unharvested and harvested
parts of the dove.
In my opinion, this step is the
slowest and cleanest. A nice
knife or pair of scissors will
make a giant difference. Simply cut off the wings of the
bird. If there is nothing to cut
them with, grab the wings on
the shoulder of the bird and
twist them. Twist until the
shoulder pops out of socket,
and then simply yank the
wings off. Grab the bird‘s
breast and pluck all the feathers off. Then pull a thin layer
of skin off the breast. There is
a sack full of seed right below
the bird‘s neck. Tear this off
so that the breast will come off
easier, and faster.
Throw the entrails on the
ground so fire ants can consume the organs and the legs.
The breast needs to be stored
airtight. The best way tot store
a dove‘s breast is to put it in a
paper milk carton, then fill the
container with water and
freeze it. Store it this way if
eating the dove at a later time.
If planning to eat the game
within about a week after harvesting the bird, put it in a
Ziploc bag. Once the breast is
in the bag, suck the air out and
seal.
This easy method of cleaning
only takes practice. The process will become faster and
faster with experience. This is
the main way of cleaning a
dove,
but most hunters have their
own little tricks and shortcuts
that can be obtained and developed with time. The tools
Now this step is where is gets
messy. Position a thumb at the
bottom of the dove. There is a
spot where the breast of the
bird comes to a point. Under
the point will be its legs. Between the legs and the breast
will be a thin layer of cartilage
Slide the thumb between the
cartilage and the breast. Keep
sliding until your thumb
comes out of its neck. Then
just simply pull out the breast
in one piece.
and knowledge should lead to
a delicious and satisfying
meal.

HUNTING/FISHING LICENSES 101 — WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW
Ray Sasser
Dallas Morning
News
Outdoors Column
August 13th.
New fishing and hunting licenses
go on sale Saturday. Current licenses (2008-2009) remain good
until midnight Aug. 31. If you
plan on fishing or dove hunting on
Sept. 1, you‘ll need a 2009-2010
license.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sells
about 2.2 million hunting and fishing licenses annually through approximately 1,650 license vendors. Wal-Mart is the biggest
vendor with about 42 percent of
total sales.
One thing that‘s changed this year
is price. Most license fees have
increased by five percent. The
exceptions are the lifetime licenses, which will nearly double.
You have until close of business
on Aug. 31 to buy a lifetime license at current rates. Those rates
are $600 for a lifetime resident
hunting or fishing license, $1,000
for a lifetime combination hunting
and fishing license, which includes all state hunting and fishing
fees.
After Aug. 31, the lifetime licenses cost $1,000 for a hunting
or fishing license, $1,800 for a
combo. Are lifetime licenses
worth the cost? They‘re a terrific
bargain if you wind up moving out
of state and returning to Texas
each year to hunt and fish. Non-
residents pay much high license
fees.
Lifetime licenses, particularly at
the current rate, make great gifts
for youths. Otherwise, it depends
on how old you are and how many
more years of an active sporting
life you expect to enjoy.
that you‘ll need to pay for hunting
or fishing in Texas.
A new resident hunting license
costs $25. You then add stamp

and/or upland game bird hunting.

Nilgai and Blackbuck
By Charles Shelton
The April 2009 Leverguns Safari at the Action Outdoors
Ranch near Hondo, Texas was a
great success, with the taking of
seven (7) species of game, BBQ
of boar back strap, and the testing of Tarantula bullets. In alphabetical order, we shot:

quiet pussy footing about in the

brush and we took a position to
ambush them as they entered a
clearing. While I was waiting

I could pick out a large one, the

SHOOT? SHOOT AT WHAT?
by Dixie Yeatts
I believe most hunters and
fisherman have a nemesis. I
know friends that have hunted
leopard at least four times and
never seen one, and I also
have friends who have hunted
zebras on several different
African trips and
never got a shot.
Those who have gotten a leopard in record
time cannot understand the ―leopard‖
nemesis, and certainly
few can imagine not
getting a shot at a zebra. I could go on, but
most of you have the
illusive one. It isn‘t
because you don‘t try
and that you are not in
the right place. It simply does not happen.
My nemesis has been a beautiful Rio!!!!!

because I needed a knee replacement. (I called the following Monday and set up an
appointment for the replacement.) My Dr. understands

I called, he asked why and I

of about eight years and four

had missed my double in turkeys at Greystone with Nate. I
was not sure he was brave
enough to guide me again, but
bless him he never says never.
The date was set for the Friday before our April 2009
youth event at the beautiful
castle, and we were in the
hunting fields by 2:00 PM.
We could see turkeys in
the distance so we hiked
to the best spot for Nate
to ―talk turkey‖. We
spent over three hours in
different places as Nate
called. We saw many
beautiful birds and many
talked back, but I was
just never 100% sure of
my shot. Nate was so
patient and was so good
to talk me through my
position, but was not
unhappy when I said it
was not right. We finally settled on a spot late in the afternoon in a small but comfortable hut type blind. Nate put
out a gobbler and a hen decoy.
I could see the decoys easily
as I was in line with them.
Nate called and we had a few
answers, but none that really
seemed close. All of a sudden
Nate whispered, ―Shoot!!!‖ I
looked and whispered back,
―Shoot? Shoot what!‖? Nate
motioned to me to lean over
just a little and there the

twice. Naturally I did not hit him
exactly where I wanted the first
two times, but he was down, and I
took the last shot only after I
jumped up and down and of course
yelled. As Nate congratulated me
and I thanked him we went to pick
up the beautiful bird. It has been a
long, but ever so interesting road to
my turkey. It will be mounted in
full strut so each time I see it I can
remember the lessons I learned.

the best.

certainly learned patience, but most
of all the tranquility you feel as you

dog. The thrill of a tingle down
your spine as you hear a turkey or
see a big game animal as it steps
into a small opening with the early
light behind it or the sun set in all
its glory. Pulling the trigger really
is the least
important part of
hunting. It simply means you
have had all of the thrills of
sight and sound before the trigger is pulled. Of course, when I
viewed my prize the emotions
ran deep. I hope the young people
in our Outdoor Adventure classes
have the experiences I have had
and the thrill of the hunt. Thank
you John, Diana, the incredible

volunteers helping me celebrate a
great turkey hunt!

SEALING PONDS AND LAKES WITH BENTONITE
Some Texas subsoils allow rapid loss of water by seepage from ponds, lakes or reservoirs.
Ponds and lakes on such soils often may be improved by use of Bentonite to reduce seepage
losses. Bentonite is a natural clay which has the characteristic of swelling 10 to 12 times its dry
size when it becomes wet. When Bentonite is applied in a layer over porous soil, or mixed with
porous soil and then moistened with water, it forms an impermeable layer. Bentonite does not
affect the water. In addition, it is easy to apply with ordinary farm equipment or with hand tools.
Application Methods
You can apply Bentonite directly to the soil in the bottom of the pond or sprinkle it on the water surface and then
allow it to settle to the bottom. Treatment is usually more effective if the Bentonite is applied directly to the soil by
the “blanket method” or the “mixed blanket method”. The “sprinkle method” is recommended only when it is impractical to drain the water from the area to be treated.
