What's holding you back from doing it?" My conclusion is that for most of us, it's fear, time, money or perhaps all three. Your fears can help you reach your goal because when you fail, you've discovered what doesn't work. You're one step clos- er to success. As for time, we find time to do the things that are important. And, as for money, if you don't have it right now, for sure it won't cost to start planning. A few days after that column ran, I received the following from Becky, an Everyday Cheapskate reader. Becky wrote: "A few years ago, a family member was in a halfway-house facility. The woman who ran the facility asked me, as a recovering addict with long-term sobriety, if I would volunteer some time to inspire her residents to stay clean and sober by bringing an 'in- house meeting' to them. "As a volunteer, I was aware how little the women's program received and decided to pitch in. I gave rides to work and donated clothes for inter- views, food and even new underwear. I also conducted in-house meetings for several years, dreaming one day I would do this for a living. "In December 2010, I was faced with the third layoff in three years from the insurance com- pany where I worked. I prayed to God for guidance. I received a decent severance package, and 2nd Step Ministries became my full-time job. "I have been fearful many days since my layoff. I am waiting on my tax- exempt status from the IRS, have not raised dollar one, but I have lots of ideas and plans. I have booked two appointments to start meet- ings in facilities near where I live. "As I began my work- Mary Hunt day today, I read your col- umn, 'Why Not Lay Some Tracks.' I view it as God's gentle reminder that I am not alone. Thanks, Mary, for all you do! You are touching people you may never meet in person, but you are profoundly impacting lives." I am so proud of Becky for the ways Everyday Cheapskate that she is using her talents and passion to help others. Would you help me sur- prise her, and in so doing give her a big boost today?

Question: I have a few questions about putting Eastern wild turkey poults out on private land. I just love to hunt them. There are turkeys out there already but I would like for there to be a lot more. How or what can be done to get more turkeys planted on the property? (Joe D.) Answer: Permission will not be granted to any person to release turkeys into the wild that have been domestically reared for propagation or hunting purposes. Only turkeys trapped from the wild by the Depart- ment of Fish and Game (DFG) may be released into the wild (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 671.6 (b)). According to DFG Turkey Pro- gram Manager Scott Gardner, besides being illegal, releasing captive-reared turkey poults will not ultimately pro- duce more turkeys in the wild, and could actually harm the wild popula- tion. Beginning in the 1920s, DFG raised turkeys and other game birds and released them into the wild. By 1951, DFG and other wildlife agencies stopped the practice because it wasn’t resulting in self-sustaining wild popu- lations of turkeys. In 1959, DFG start- ed importing and releasing the Rio Grande subspecies of wild turkeys that were trapped in the wild in Texas. Wild trapped birds were highly suc- cessful and virtually all of California’s current wild turkey population came from these releases. Game birds imprint on their moth- ers immediately after hatching and they learn behaviors necessary to sur- vive in the wild in the first few days of life. Captive-reared birds do not devel- op the survival skills that are learned from a hen in the wild, and most will not survive. Domestic turkeys have higher rates of disease which is a risk to the wild population, and breeding with them would decrease genetic fit- ness of the wild population. Wild turkeys thrive where habitat is good, and they need a mix of trees, grass- lands and water. Catching crabs on rod and reel? Question: I will be getting a fishing license soon even though I don’t really need one since I do most of my fishing from public piers. I have a question about when a crab goes after a baited hook and is caught while fishing. Does it really have to be thrown back then? I think if someone is lucky enough to bring a six inch crab up to a pier, they should get to keep it. It’s not easy to do. I have had many large crabs let go as soon as they hit the surface. I have never caught a six-plus inch crab, but if I pulled one up, I sure would like to eat it. Can I keep it or do I have to let it go? (Ray A.) Answer: Unfortunately, the law does not allow crabs to be caught with rod and reel. Crabs may be taken only by hand, baited hoop nets, crab loop traps, and if north of Point Arguello, crab traps. The traps must meet the escape port requirements described in regulations (CCR Title 14, section 29.80(c)). If you find yourself one of the lucky fishermen to have a crab ride your fishing line all of the way up to the pier, take a picture to capture the memory, but then you’ll need to toss it back. Selling sturgeon eggs from a legally-taken sturgeon Question: If I catch legal-sized sturgeons with eggs, can I sell the eggs because I don't eat them? (Byron M.) Answer: No. It is illegal to sell any portion of a sturgeon or any fish taken under the authority of a sport fishing license (Fish and Game Code, section 7121). go? Where does the deer tag need to Question: After harvesting a deer and filling the tag, does the tag stay with the meat in the freezer or stay with the head and antlers if it goes to a taxidermist? I always thought it stays with the meat. (Hans G.) Answer: The tag must stay affixed to the antlers for 15 days following the closure of the deer season. If you send the head or antlers to a taxidermist, the tag must stay with the head and antlers while in their possession. The tag does not need to remain with the meat. Duplicate deer tag report cards mailed The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is recall- ing about 1,000 duplicate deer tags inadvertently sent out to hunters who partici- pated in this year’s Big Game Draw. Of the nearly 53,000 tags printed and issued by Active Networks on behalf of DFG, about two percent were inadvertently printed more than once and sent out in separate mailings causing hunters to receive one or more duplicate tags. These duplicate tags must be returned to DFG and cannot be used for the take of additional deer. DFG has a list of dupli- cate tags by hunter and zone and is contacting those hunters who received them to retrieve the extra RED BLUFF COLLISION ✪Windshield Replacement $ starting at 200 ✪ Auto Detailing $ 50 off your 1st visit FREE Estimates 530.527.6160 915 Madison St., Red Bluff tags. DFG warns that use and possession of a dupli- cate tag is illegal. DFG will fully enforce all statutes and regulations related to use and possession of duplicate tags. This is the first glitch since the implementation of DFG's Automated License Data System (ALDS) in September 2010. In fact, a recent survey indicated that hunters were very happy with the ease of the new system. However, the duplicate tag mailing is a significant error caused by Active Network, the vendor contracted to print and mail the licenses. DFG and Active Network are work- ing closely to address this problem and eliminate any risk of this happening in the K W I K K U T S Family Hair Salon 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 with coupon $200 REGULAR HAIRCUT off Not good with other offers Reg. $13.95 Expires 8/31/11 COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR All makes and models.
