Ty Bartoskewitz, Wildlife Biologist
Speaking On: Aging White-Tailed Deer on the Hoof
Ty was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and developed a passion
for the outdoors as a kid largely due
to family ranches and summer vacations in the mountain west. He graduated from Texas Tech University with
a BS in Wildlife Management in 1994
and received an MS in Range and
Wildlife Management with a minor in
Ag. Business at the Caesar Kleberg
Wildlife Research Institute at Texas
A&M Kingsville in 1997. Ty‘s thesis
was an economic study of the waterfowl hunting industry along the Texas
gulf coast. During his college years,
he had the opportunity to intern with
the Noble Foundation at their Wildlife
Unit in Allen, Oklahoma, Harrison
Ranches in the Hill Country and south
Texas, and for a PhD student working
on a mule deer home range study in
west Texas.
After graduate school, Ty worked
as a private wildlife biologist for the
Terra Rosa Ranch in the eastern
Texas panhandle, the La Bandera
Ranch in south Texas, and also
worked with endangered cats in deep
south Texas. In 2000, he started as a
Private Lands Biologist with the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
in south Texas. He was stationed in
Hebbronville
and worked the
7 most southern counties in
s o u t h
Texas.
In
2006, Ty was
promoted
to
Technical
Guidance Biologist in the
Cross Timbers
and
Rolling
Plains region
of north Texas
and
worked
with landowners mostly on
managing habitats for wildlife and
provided training to district staff. The
region covered 23 counties from Fort
Worth to Big Spring and north to the
Red River.
This past January, Ty moved from
Weatherford to the MT7 Ranch just
east of Breckenridge where he is the
Ranch Manager/Wildlife Biologist for
MM Terry Enterprises; which is a
12,000 acre private ranch with interests in wildlife, recreation, and proper
land stewardship.

interests include bowhunting, photography, deer management, and fishing. Ty is an official scorer for the
Boone and Crockett Club, Director
for the Texas Wildlife Association,
President of the North Texas Buckskin Brigade, active in the Texas

October 1, 2009
A few days ago we officially entered the fall season. Of all of the
seasons fall is my favorite. The daytime temperatures begin to break from
the heat of summer, and the fish just seem to bite better than they do in the
real hot weather. In addition, deer hunting season is just around the corner
with many members beginning to get their deer leases ready for both the
bow and gun seasons. It's also a great time to hunt for dove, pheasant, and
quail.
At this time of year there is also quite a bit of action and excitement at
the Committee and Board level of your Club. This fall we are asking each
Committee (Programs, Activities, Communications, Membership and
Shows ) under the direction of the respective Vice President to meet and
develop their plans for 2010. We are also asking each Committee to review
and define their responsibilities, tasks, and guidelines and report back to the
Board. The reason for this initiative is to make sure there is a plan for 2010,
and that every person on the committee knows and understands the plan. We
will also integrate this effort with the management of the Club at both the
Board level and Executive Secretary level. The individual Committee plans
will also be shared with the entire Club membership during the coming
months. On that note, if you would like to serve on a Committee next year
please let Annette Stone or me know and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.
The planning for the Annual Banquet and Fundraiser, which is scheduled for Saturday March 13, 2010 at the Plano Centre, has also started
under the general direction of our resident grand master of Banquet Planning and Fund Raising, the Honorable Mr. Jack Davis. The Banquet
Planning Committee has already had its initial meeting, and the Donor
Letters will go in the mail the last week in September. The Planning
committee will have its second meeting on Thursday, October 22, 2009 at
the Club's new office. Again, if you would like to help with this year's
Banquet and Fundraiser please let Annette or me know. At the moment we
could really use some help with the Silent Auction. It's fun to get involved
in this event, and as you know it is our primary source of funds for the
various projects that we sponsor.
In closing, I sure hope you get to enjoy this fall season pursuing your
own special outdoor interests.
Best wishes!

LAKE TEXOMA BASS GRAND SLAM
By: John Laverty and Jim Webb
It all began with a call from ―Big Jim‖
Webb, former Club President, asking if
I would like to go smallmouth bass
fishing with him on Lake Texoma. I
said I would love to go since I like
fishing on that body of water. I also
mentioned that even though I have
fished Lake Texoma for the past sixteen years, I have never caught a smallmouth bass. I have caught a lot of
stripers on my own plus with guides,
and once in a while, a black bass or
largemouth bass. Jim reassured me that
he had come up with a guide who
claims that he can catch smallmouth
bass on Lake Texoma so we agreed the
trip was a ―Go‖.
On the appointed day Jim picked me
up at 5:00 AM, and we headed north
toward the big lake. After a gourmet
breakfast at the Sherman McDonald‘s
we stopped at Jim Forrest‘s convenience store at the corner of highway
120 and Highport Road to get a Lake
Texoma fishing license. We then proceeded to the guide‘s private boat
house tucked away on a sheltered cove
near the Lighthouse Marina. The guide
was not there when we arrived because
he was out catching the live shad we
would use for bait. Jim knew this in
advance so we sat down by the water
and enjoyed the beautiful early June
morning.
Our guide was Dan Barnett who guides
under the flag of Guaranteed Guide
Service which he operates in a ―No
fish – No pay‖ mode
(www.danbarnett.com). Dan has
guided on the lake for over thirty
years. He indicated that he used to
have a number of DWWC members as
customers, but the number of Club
members using his services has dwindled off in recent years.
We left his boat house around 7:15
AM and made a fast run to the Ross
Perot magnificent lake house down
near the dam. Mr. Perot has installed a
breakwater comprised of many large
stones that looks like it could be used
to rebuild the World Trade Centers.
We pulled in close to the rocky breakwater and Dan suggested we use his
tackle rather than our own. He handed
both of us a fairly light weight spinning rod rigged with six pound fluorocarbon fishing line and a small circular
hook (about ¾ inch). Dan placed a live
shad between four and five inches long
(some up to seven inches) on each of
our hooks. ―Cast the bait as close to the
very large rocks at the bottom of the
steep riprap breakwater as you can‖.
Casting in the wind with the light line
and rod with the large bait shad was a
challenge. He also instructed us to let
hook. If you jerked the line as you normally do in black bass fishing you
pulled the live shad out of the fish‘s
mouth. At first we did this a lot. You
could see the teeth marks on the now
not so lively shad. We lost a lot of
bites this way. The circle hooks were
threaded through the shad‘s small
mouth and to hook the fish, the fish
had to eat the shad and have the circle
hook catch the fish in the corner of its
mouth as the hook and line were being
retrieved.
We caught a few nice fish in this location, but Dan was not satisfied with the
number of bites we were experiencing.
He then motored over to the Eisenhower Marina, and we anchored just
off the fueling dock in about thirty feet
of water near the large floating tires
that provide the harbor protection from
the wind and storms. The action here
was much better than our first location
with Jim and me both catching some
nice fish. We caught a number of spotted bass. The spotted bass is interesting
because it has a small black spot on its
tongue and dark green spots down both
sides of the fish. We also caught more
smallmouth bass and a couple of sand
bass. I caught a large ten pound striper
which took forever to land due to the
light weight tackle we were using. The
battle raged for twenty minutes as the
fish led me around the boat deck at
least three times which required dodging the anchor rope.
the bait run which it did as soon as it
hit the water. The shad bait started at
once to swim toward deeper water
seeming to know that the large predator fish were in close to the stone
breakwater.
At first it was difficult judging how to
handle a strike, but we soon found out
that when the shad started to really run
we needed to gradually lift the rod to
see if there was any weight on the line.
If we sensed weight we needed to start
a slow retrieve and let the fish set the

After a lengthy period of time Dan
said he had one more spot he wanted
to try so we moved down the lake in
the direction of the large pumping station on the East side of the lake All in
all we caught a total of twenty five
fish. The largest smallmouth bass was
over six pounds, and every fish fought

hard on the light tackle. All fish were
released. In the total of twenty five
fish we had large and smallmouth
bass, spotted bass, sand bass, and a
striped bass. Dan told us it was unusual to be lucky enough to catch a
―Lake Texoma Bass Grand Slam‖.
We were back at his boat house by
11:30 AM.
Oh! By the way, it was a windy day
and a few whitecaps were present all
morning. Handling the boat was a
tough challenge for Dan but he made it
look easy. Dan told us that we could
catch more fish in the fall, and with
less wind. You can bet that we plan to
go again in the fall!

bird launchers. The shooter steps inside the ring to the first station and says, ―Pull.‖ A bird is randomly launched from one
of the 9 boxes. The shooter tries to shoot the bird and have it fall inside the ring to be awarded a point. Two shots per
bird. Five birds are launched per shooter until the next shooter comes to the station. Any shooter shooting a perfect 5 birds
is backed up 1 meter from the first station thus increasing the difficulty of his next five shots. Shooters rotate until each
shooter has shot 25 birds. Shooter with the highest score wins. If we have a tie we will have a shoot-off and the first one
missing is eliminated.

Mark Malfa will determine the exact location a few weeks prior to trip date, depending upon location of big gar. In addition to shooting for Alligator Gar, you can also shoot for carp and catfish. The price is only $550 for the first two
shooters, and $150 for each add‘l shooter for 8 hours on the water, with up to 8 people/boat. All you need to bring is a
fishing license, snacks, drinks, and a camera. Mark provides everything else including right and left hand bows and
rods, tackle, and boat. We will likely stay in local motel on the night of May 21st, bowfish on May 22nd, and return
home May 23rd. To see why this trip is always a favorite, checkout the exciting videos

Bullet Testing — How I Spent My Saturday
By Ricky Krodle
Well I spent my Saturday and part
of Sunday testing 45 Colt bullets. I
had mentioned to some other members that I wasn‘t happy with the standard Hornady 250gr XTP. I
felt from the results on raccoons they appeared to be a bit
explosive causing me to wonder if they were opening up too
fast at the speeds I was driving
them. So I gathered up a sampling of what I feel are some of
the better 45 Colt jacketed bullets.
I acquired some Hornady
240gr XTP Mags, 250gr
XTP‘s, 300gr XTP Mags ,
Nosler 260gr Partitions, Swift
265gr A Frames, and 300gr A
Frames. I want to thank CN Jarvis
who so graciously supplied the Hornady 240gr XTP Mags. All the loads
used H110 for powder at a near max,
Ruger or Winchester load. I loaded
up 10 of each bullet. I just picked a
safe load and used it; I was more concerned with pushing the bullet hard
then with accuracy. My intent for the
testing is to supply me with the data to
pick the best bullet for my hunting
situation, and then I will work up an
accuracy load with that bullet. I want
a bullet that will penetrate, expand,
and hold together at the velocities that
I‘m getting with my Winchester Trapper for use on hogs and deer. I want
something that will kill efficiently.
For a testing medium I debated
whether to use wet news print or water. I settled on water as I couldn‘t
come up with near the amount of
news print that I thought I needed for
testing. Now I thought it would be no
big deal stopping a .452 caliber bullet
moving around 1500 to 1700 fps.
WRONG! I started off with a plastic
tub about 3 feet long. The first bullet
to try was the 240gr XTP Mag, it
blew through it like a water spout. I
go down to the barn and find a sec-
ond, and bigger, tub. I try another
240gr and the first tub blows apart but
the second tub stops it but just barely.
I tape up the first tub and put a trash
bag in it to hold the water. Time for a
250 XTP……the second tub blows
apart. I don‘t have trash bags big
enough for it so I go in the house to
regroup and think, normally a dangerous thing. Then it hits me. I‘ll build a
water trap out of ¾ inch plywood and
―It blew

1 X 12‘s that I have left over from
another project. I made the trap 12‖ X
13‖ X 8 feet long. I used at least 5
pounds of screws and a tube of caulk.
I fill it full of water and touch off another 250 grainer. I wish I would have
had a movie camera. Water flies everywhere, but it rips my high class water trap apart, crap. About this time
DWWC member Joe Riekers shows
up and says ― Hey let‘s put water jugs
inside the POS water trap you built
and shoot them.‖ Well I was just
about to do that anyway, or so I told
him. Long story short, that worked
out very well. So all the testing was
done shooting though a piece of ¾
inch plywood into the water jugs.
Penetration was good with all
the bullets but some were exceptional. The Hornady 240 XTP
Mag and 250 XTP had the least
with about 2 ½ feet. The first
300gr XTP Mag penetrated well
but did not expand at all. The
second one broke off parts of it
nose. One of the 240gr XTP
Mags also did not expand. The
260gr Nosler Partition penetrated good and expanded just as
you would expect a Partition to
do. Check out these picks of the
Nosler, pretty awesome looking.
The Swift 265 and 300gr A
Frames both penetrated very well with
the 300gr winning out. Both A frames
also retained their weight very well.
I came to the conclusion that for what
I want out of a 45 Colt bullet for my
trapper and my hunting situations is
that the Swift A frames are the way to
go with the Partition coming in a
close second. The Hornady‘s were a
little disappointing in that the 240 and
300gr didn‘t expand consistently and
the 250gr didn‘t penetrate as well as
the others. The 265 and 300gr A
frames only lost .6 and 1.3 percent of
their weight respectively, but the
worst was only 13.5 percent for the
Partition. The only true disappointment was the Hornady 300gr XTP
Mag. It acted more like a solid in this
testing then a jacketed hollow point.
Also take into account that this was a
very small sampling. If I had the time
and money I would fire more samples
of each bullet and it could tell a different story. But I‘m satisfied with it.

ram and he wheeled and ran
directly down hill passing by
me only a few yards away and then
out of sight below. The shot had
been back but I saw blood as he ran.
We watched the surrounding hillsides
for about twenty minutes but saw
nothing and then decided to take up
the blood trail. At first the trail was a
little spotty but the further we went
the easier the trail was to follow. We
were following the trail down the
middle of a ravine looking 5 to 10
yards ahead to see the blood
trail. When we found where the ram
had fallen but looking ahead there
was no blood. We took a couple of
more steps and there laying just over
a little ledge was my ram!!!
We took pictures and then started
skinning and boning the meat. At
9:20pm we were finally packed and
ready to head home. It took from
9:20pm until noon the next day with
only a break from 4:00am to 6:00am
to get to the pickup point but that is
another story.
What an experience and magnificent
country! The ram is 6.5 years old, 28
inches with a 14.5 inch base. I scored
him at about 142.
Good hunting,

One Month Odyssey

left Texas with a lot to accomplish
in one month. As a responsible outfitter and booking agent I set out to research the various risks our clients
might face in various parts of the

new hunting and fishing
opportunities I put together for our clients as
a result of this trip. The
first part of the journey
was mostly educational

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.
