2D Daily News – Tuesday, January 24, 2012 California Outdoors Q&As Why Are Refuge Reserva- tions So Hard to Draw? Question How are waterfowl reservations picked and how are they kept random? There seems to be something wrong with the system because it doesn't seem to be randomly selecting people. Several of my neighbors and I have put in for the season draw for multiple refuges for the last few years without much success. One person has not been drawn in the past two years. Some peo- ple may get drawn only once while other people are getting drawn quite a bit. Can you please shed some light on this for us? (Rod H., Norco) Answer Unfortunately, the competition for waterfowl reser- vations is enormous! More than 750,000 hunt choices have been submitted for the 2011/2012 sea- son so far. Some areas are extremely difficult to draw. According to Department of Fish and Game (DFG) License Program Analyst Glenn Under- wood, reservations are issued by random drawings. Each drawing is independent and does not affect the outcome of any other drawing. The likelihood of being drawn does not increase when you were not drawn for a previ- ous hunt. Odds are determined solely by the number of appli- cants who apply for an area on that date. In a series of random draw- ings, some people are likely to be drawn more than once, and some may not be drawn at all. The results should look somewhat like half of a bell curve. Here's an example: For a drawing for the San Jacinto Wildlife Area Jan. 18 hunt, we received 27,310 submitted hunt choices for 1,300 reservations issued. Of these: 2,827 hunters received no reservations; 746 hunters received one reservation; 206 hunters received two reser- vations; 42 hunters received three reservations; 4 hunters received four reservations. Keep in mind that some hunters may apply for only one hunt day and others have applied for every hunt day. We realize how important receiving a reservation is to each hunter and want hunters to know how difficult it is to draw a reser- vation. For this reason, Under- wood publishes the drawing sta- tistics online and mails them to hunters each year with the Water- fowl Season Update. He also posts the drawing results online for the convenience of hunters. While posting the results online occasionally inspires a phone call to Underwood from a frustrated hunter who sees another who has been drawn more frequently, Underwood is happy to provide this service and welcomes the opportunity to discuss the results with hunters. Beginning with the 2011 sea- son, reservation drawings are Help save endangered species at tax time California's wild animals and plants need your help, and there's an easy way to do it. Just make a voluntary contribution on line 403 and/or line 410 of your state income tax return (Form 540). By contributing any amount over one dollar you can support the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Rare and Endangered Species Preservation Fund and/or the California Sea Otter Fund. What you donate this year is tax deductible on next year's return. Californians can receive state income tax credit from the Franchise Tax Board for helping wildlife. "The voluntary donations made by Californians at tax time are incredibly important in our efforts to save threatened and endangered species," said DFG Director Charlton H. Bonham. "These funds have provided criti- cal support for many state-listed species such as the Bakersfield cactus, Owens pupfish, San Francisco garter snake, California tiger salamander, marbled murrelet, Mohave ground squirrel and many more. These dona- tions will help ensure that California's extraordinary biodiversity is maintained for future generations." There are 387 listed plant and animal species, from little "bugs" that most of us have never heard of, to the iconic California sea otter. Hundreds more are at risk. Money raised through the tax check-off program helps pay for essential DFG research and recovery efforts. Such work allowed the California brown pelican and American peregrine falcon to be de-listed in 2009. California is one of 41 states that allow taxpayers to make a voluntary, tax-deductible contribution to one or more worthwhile causes on their state returns. Since 1983, the tax check-off fund for Rare and Endangered Species has raised more than $18 million and supported numerous projects, including the estab- lishment of a controlled breeding program for endan- gered riparian brush rabbits using a newly discovered population of wild rabbits. This collaborative effort has resulted in a significant expansion of riparian brush rab- bit populations on public lands. The critical support of California taxpayers has enabled wildlife biologists to achieve important recovery milestones to conserve our vulnerable species. More information on the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation tax check-off program is available at www.dfg.ca.gov/taxcheck. A second tax check-off fund was created specifically to facilitate recovery of the California sea otter, which is listed as a State Fully Protected Species and a Threat- ened Species under the federal Endangered Species Act. Based on the most recently completed survey, there are fewer than 2,800 sea otters remaining in California. This small population is extremely vulnerable to oil spills, environmental pollution, predation by white sharks and other threats. Many sea otter deaths have been linked to pollution flowing from land to the sea, including fecal parasites, bacterial toxins and chemicals that have been linked to coastal land use. According to DFG Wildlife Veterinarian and lead sea otter researcher Melissa Miller, the California Sea Otter Fund provides crucial funding to help scientists better understand and trace causes of sea otter mortality, iden- tify factors limiting population growth and work collab- oratively with stakeholders to prevent pollution of Cali- fornia's nearshore marine ecosystem. This fund is made possible entirely through voluntary contributions by cit- izens of the state of California. The California Sea Otter Fund has become especially vital during the current eco- nomic downturn, because other sources of support for sea otter conservation and research have decreased or are no longer available. There are no other dedicated state funding sources available to continue this important work. You can support this research by making a contribu- tion on line 410 of your state tax form 540, the Califor- nia Sea Otter Fund. DFG works with Defenders of Wildlife to help promote the Sea Otter Fund. An excel- lent video about the sea otters' current plight is on their website, www.defenders.org (keywords "tax check- off"). performed through the Automat- ed License Data System (ALDS) and drawing results are still post- ed online, though are only view- able by the individual after log- ging in to ALDS. However, Underwood says he is still happy to provide statistics to those who are interested. The computerized drawing systems used for big game tags and waterfowl reservations have pre-draw and post-draw audit logs that record all the steps in the drawing and awarding of tags and reservations. We could not influence the drawing if we want- ed to. If you would like to see how a reservation drawing is per- formed, please contact Glenn Underwood at GUnderwood@dfg.ca.gov and he will be happy to give you a quick demonstration using an actual drawing. Fair warning: the computerized drawing process is quite boring. Hopefully, your luck will turn around soon, but if it doesn't, don't let that stop you. You can still hunt using the local lottery or first-come, first-served line.

(Catharine S., Oakland) Answer There is no law pro- hibiting your friend from giving you the spinal cord or any other part of a legally possessed fish, so long as all other laws are fol- lowed. However, fish caught under the authority of a sport fishing license cannot be bought, sold, traded or bartered in any manner (Fish and Game Code, sections 7121 and 75). This includes any type of trade or barter of even parts with the expectation of receiving some- thing in return. Javelin hunting Question I just tried javelin throwing for the first time and it sparked an idea that I could hunt with this for big game mammals. But I can't find it specified any- where in the mammal hunting regulations booklet. Does this mean that since it isn't mentioned it's illegal to use to take down an animal? (Brent L.) Answer You are correct. Hunting by spear or javelin is not a legal method of take. Carrie Wilson is a marine biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game.
