CONCORD, N.H. (NHF&G)- The New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department's Lake Winnipesaukee Bass Tagging Study has
gotten off to a fast start, according to Gabe Gries, Fisheries
Biologist and Warmwater Project Leader.
Tagging at bass tournaments at Ames Farm Inn started on Saturday, June
30, when 95 largemouth and smallmouth bass were tagged at the Bubba
Bassin' tournament. On Sunday, July 1, 198 bass were tagged at the
Massachusetts Bass Federation tournament. A tournament angler at the
Sunday event caught a largemouth bass that had been tagged on Saturday.
This is the first tagged bass caught during the study.
"I can't believe a tagged bass was caught so quickly and after only 95 bass had been tagged, " said Gries.

AUSTIN, Texas (TPWD)— With the passage of House Bill 12 by the 80th Texas Legislature, it is now unlawful to hunt any wild bird or animal on a public road or the right-of-way of a public road.
Prior to this year, it was unlawful to hunt game animals or game birds on a public road — meaning that nongame species such as snakes, turtles, frogs and most mammals other than deer, bighorn sheep, javelina, and pronghorn antelope could be legally taken, provided that the take was not by firearm and did not occur from a vehicle.
