The Game and Fish Commission will be discussing the department's hunt recommendations during its Saturday, April 21 meeting at the Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive (one block north of Glendale Ave. on 57th Drive).

The Game and Fish Commission will also be considering population management seasons that the department is recommending.

The hunt guidelines adopted last year were for a two-year period and were used to develop hunt recommendation this year. New hunt guidelines will be developed with public comment later this summer.

South African Blesbucks
I was several days into a 10-day hunt in the Groot Winterhook mountains of South Africa's eastern cape. I already had an nyala, duiker, eland, baboon, 3 black wildebeest, 2 blue wildebeest, a black springbok and a mountain reedbuck. Next on my list was a blesbuck pair, one male and one female.
