Blacktail association hosts historic summit Known as California's "deer factory," if you want to find world-class blacktail bucks with antler spreads of 25-28" or more, historically the best place in the world to go is northwestern Cali- fornia's "B Zone" that stretches along the coast from the Oregon border to Mendocino and Glen Coun- ties to the south, and from I- 5 on the east to the Pacific Oregon. According to late renown wildlife biologist Raymond Dasmann, with prime habitat conditions the B-Zone should support as many as 55 blacktails per square kilometer. However between 1989 and 2009 the harvest of bucks in the B- Zone has dropped 57 per- cent, in large part due to a dramatic decline in the region's deer herd. The 2000 harvest of bucks in Mendocino County was 1,256, a decline of 3,976 bucks per year since the 1950's. The decline in deer in B- Zone has cut down the number of hunters in the B- zone, where the annual deer hunt pumps an estimated $35 million a year into the region's economy when all is well. Responding to the dra- matic decline in deer in Northwestern California, to rally the region's natural resources conservation leaders on Feb. 25, the Men- docino County Black Tailed Deer Association, a region- al 501-C-3 non-profit orga- nization founded in 2005, hosted a historic day-long Blacktail Summit meeting at the Red Lion Hotel in Eureka. Those in attendance included representatives of state and federal agencies, members of county Boards of Supervisors,and County Fish and Game commis- sions from 10 northern Cal- ifornia counties, and repre- sentatives of conservation groups. The participants dis- cussed many of the prob- lems associated with the dramatic decline in blacktail deer in the area including: the decline in deer habitat due to the dramatic decline in fires and logging; an increasing number of preda- tors; and poaching and wan- ton use of pesticides due to a proliferation of illegal marijuana gardens on pub- lic wildlands. "MCBA hosted this Summit in an attempt to begin to move agencies, policies, and projects to the fore front of those in charge of the resources, in hopes reversing the current nega- tive factors that are destroy- ing the Wildlife in the pub- lic lands," said Paul Trou- ette, President of MCBA who planned and hosted the summit. Retired Depart- ment of Fish and Game wildlife biologist Jack Booth, and Dave Willough- by, vice president of MCBA, were also in atten- dance representing the sponsoring organization. "I think the summit was a call to action that everyone in the room heard and responded favorably to" Trouette added. Those attending the felt it was long overdue and badly needed. A steering committee was formed to develop a calendar of subse- quent meetings and a plan for action. The next meeting of the steering committee will be in Weaverville, April 28, and join them for their upcoming annual fund-rais- ing dinner on April 16. Those who would like to join and/or donate to the Mendocino County Black- tail Association's efforts can do so by visiting their Website at www.mcbadeer.com. The annual MCBA fund-raising dinner will be held April 16 at Carl Purdy Hall, Ukiah. Doors open 5 p.m., open bar and a deli- cious meal planned. Dinner 6:30 p.m. Raffle and auc- tion begin at 7:30 p.m. For details contact Paul Trouette, President, MCBA, P.O.

Whether prompted by the national economy or individual economies, sim- plifying is one of the leading movements today. Surveys reveal that of those employed, the majority of us would be willing to accept a reduction in pay if we could work fewer hours to spend more time with our families. It is a lovely thought, but how realistic is it? Earning less is hardly a reasonable option for most peo- ple. But we can take small steps to simplify our complicated lives. A little bit here and there and, before you know it, all of your efforts will add up to something significant. • Un-clutter. Everything we bring into our lives has two costs: the financial cost of the acquisition and the cost of time and energy to maintain it. De-junking is the cheapest, fastest and most effective way to become physically and financially sound and emotionally and intellectually happy. • Whittle your wardrobe. Clothes you're not wearing complicate your life. If you have to find space for the clothes you're actually wearing, you have too many. • Cultivate contentment. Being happy with what we have is not something our culture teaches us. On the contrary, the imperative to consume breeds dissatisfaction and discontentment. It takes a conscious effort to desire less. • Make lists. Write down those things you need to remember, and forget every- thing else. • Make it all white. As you replace sheets and towels, buy white. You won't have to search for matching sets or perform special cleaning tech- niques. White is typical- ly the least expensive option and a lovely fash- ion statement. • Don't own every- must be dry-cleaned. You'll save time, aggravation and a ton of money. thing. Part of the reason for our love affair with shopping is that we think we need to personally own everything we use. Before you agree to com- plicate your life further with yet another posses- sion, consider your alternatives. • Turn off the TV. You may not realize how your family's television viewing is affecting your purchas- ing and lifestyle choices. Kicking the habit will simplify your life. • Drive a simple car. High-end, luxury automobiles are nice to drive but can complicate your life. Typi- cally, they are expensive to insure, register, maintain and repair. • Become label-conscious. Unless it's mandatory for your pro- fession, do not buy clothes that Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate • Get up earlier. The best hour of the day is the one right before you normally get up. It may take you a few weeks to truly enjoy that hour, but when you create the habit, you will be amazed by the simplicity those 60 quiet, stress-free minutes will add to your day. • Swap your hobby for your job. If you're not already making a living doing what you love, start with a hobby. Eventually, you may be able to ditch your job for your hobby. • Get out of debt. You'll have more time to do what you love rather than worry- ing about bills and credi- tors. Perhaps it's time to create your Rapid Debt-Repayment Plan.
