According to Bob Wright, special agent for the federal wildlife service, a 35 -acre field owned by Telles Farms had been baited with nearly two tons of safflower grain and was luring doves and whitewings to the field from miles away. The state and federal law enforcement men gave the hunt- ers ungers only just over an hour of shooting before they rushed into the field and demanded to see hunting licenses. Fifteen men in one field were found to have 297 birds in their possession, along with another 45 birds they had given to a farm employee to take back to the farmhouse. After the agents wrote the employee a ticket for illegal pos- session of game birds without a license, he then wanted to know if they* were through with him because he had to take beer and sandwiches to more shooters in another field. The agents jumped into the man's truck and rode with him to the second field where they found at least another 15 shooters all of them with less than the legal limit. They could find no evidence that the second field had been baited. "It was quite a party," Wright said of the shooters checked at the Telles Farm. "They had coolers full of gin and vodka and lots of beer and hot sandwiches on picnic tables under the trees near a waterhole. They even had litter barrels set out. "The hunters all were doctors, dentists, lawyers and busi- nessmen from California. They came here by private and com- mercial planes and motorhomes." Before the day was over, state and federal officers had issued citations for more than 125 violations of dove hunting rules, including tickets to shooters who had killed ducks, quail, cardi- nals and owls. One of the tickets that day may make a South Phoenix man keep his eyes to the sky the next time he decides to hunt rabbits without a license, said Tom Spalding of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Spalding and the Game and Fish pilot were flying low over the Picacho Lake area searching for hunters violating the new noon -opening hours set for the first three days of the dove hunt. They spotted a man on a canal bank shooting what they thought were doves. "We couldn't get a ground unit to the man, so we decided to set the plane down on an old road in the field next to him," Spalding said. "We had to taxi the plane across the field to cut ,him off. "It was a pretty exciting landing. But you should have seen the look on that man's face." Despite the large number of tickets written in that small area near Picacho, Spalding thinks the opening of the dove hunt last weekend was relatively clean as far as violations go. Even though a change in shooting hours closed most of the popular hunting areas until noon on the first three days of the season, searchers in pickup trucks and the airplane found very few people getting the jump on the season. Most of the illegal early dove hunters were from the Phoenix area, where there had been little publicity about the morning closure, Spalding said. Spalding also heard few complaints from farmers about van- dalism and littering by dove hunters. And, for the first time in several years, there were no hunting fatalities from the dove hunt opener. Although the season on mourning doves and whitewings will continue until later this month, the majority of the birds already have moved into lower Mexico, Spalding said. "There are plenty of mourning doves left, but most of the whitewings are gone already," he said. pervisors by representatives board delay enforcing the' from many of the 18 groups in Magee Road parking ban the Trail Access committee. until it meets with the Coron- Among those letters was from the 2,900 -member _ ado _ Natrona Forest, user groups and the County Parks ope Tucson Rod and Gun Club.

Bn0efly, the great outdoors New rules for endangered species— The United States Interior and Commerce departments have proposed new rules for enforcing the Endangered Species s Act. The proposal sets criteria for listingand delisting species and requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service t6 review animals and plants now on the Endangered and Threatened Species List. Sheldon's book published— The Arizona Des- ert Bighorn Sheep Society will publish the journal of the early travels of naturalist Charles Sheldon in Arizona and Sonora. The 200 -page book is illustrated with Sheldon's photographs, including those of his visits to the Seri In- dians in 1912, and will be limited to 1,000 copies. Sheldon hunted bighorns from Alaska to Sonora and was among those who helped create Mt. McKinley National Park, the National Wildlife Refuge System and the duck stamp law. He died in 1928. New lake dedicated— The San Carlos Apache Indian Tribe has rebuilt the 75 -foot earthen dam on the San Carlos River that washed out earlier this year. The dam was dedicated Aug. 10 and named Elgo Dam. The 6,000 -acre lake that is forming behind it will be called Talkalai Lake. It already has been stocked with large- mouth bass, crappies and catfish by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Beer company contri utes — The Adolph Coors Company of Golden, Colo., has given Ducks Unlim- ited $75,000 to develop more Canadian wetlands for water- fowl nesting. The money will underwrite a nationwide fund-raising promotion featuring a "One of One" Brown- ing Superposed custom shotgun. Fund may trap burros— Cleveland Amory's Fund for Animals, a national animal protection group, has offered to take on the task of trapping and removing wild burros from Grand Canyon National Park. Merle Stitt, park superintendent, said the group would have to submit a plan before the proposal would be approved. However, if the animal protection group's project was not successful, Stitt said burros would have to be shot by park rangers. Stitt said the park's goal is to remove all burros from Grand Canyon because they are destroying vegeta- tion and archaelogical sites and are competing with na- tive species for food. State team places 20th— The Arizona pro -bass fishing team finished 20th among 40 teams fishing in Bass Anglers Sportsman Society's national championships at Canada's Lake of the Woods. Dave Ferris was the only team member from Tucson. New game de artment brass— Five more posts have been fillea in the reorganization of the man- agement of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Dave Roe, formerly assistant administration chief, has been named research branch supervisor. Al Essbach, for- merly fisheries chief, is now fisheries branch supervisor. Tom Barnes, formerly law enforcement chief, is now game branch supervisor. John Russo, formerly game management chief, is now assistant chief of the special services branch in charge of administration. Bill Sizer, former chief of information, is a special services branch assistant. Banner quail year — State biologists are pre- dicting that the quail hunting season starting Oct. 1 will be the best since 1974. Spring and winter rains created ample food and cover, causing Gambel's quail to dramati- cally increase this summer. Lake Mead use is up — More people fished, boated, camped, hunted and toured the dam's facilities at Lake Mead last year than at any other Bureau of Recla- mation area in the nation. Accordingto BOR data Lake Mead had 7.5 million visitors in 1978, followed by Jackson Reservoir in Grand Teton National Park, Wyo., with 3.8 million visitors. Spokesmen said use of facilities at all of the bureau's 281 recreation areas was heavier last year than ever before. Nearly70 million persons used the areas, a jump of 4.6 million over 1977 and one of the largest increase in 20 years. Cholla Bay derbywinners — Ma Mas of Phoenix won the � • y 24th annual Cholla Bay Sportfishing Tournament by boating a 102 -pound sailfish Sunday. Tuc- sonian Bob Lounsbury won the men's sailfish division with a 96 -pounder. About 1,500 persons attended the group's annual fish fry which ended the nine days of tournament fishing that began on Memorial Day. Duck hunt rules ready — Hunting and fishing license dealers now have the new rules for the waterfowl seasons starting next month. The general duck season is Oct. 20 -Jan. 20. The bag limit is seven ducks in the aggre- gate with a limit of two redhead ducks or two canvas- backs, or one of each. The goose season is Nov. 10 -Jan. 20, except in Yuma and Mohave counties where it ends Jan. 6. 'The dailylimit is six geese, with no more than three snow geese and one Ross goose. Only three geese of the dark species may be taken and only two of these may be Canada geese. 0 Page 4D MI*chael • .TV star head's so tball bene The role is not new for Michael Landon, star of and Citizen Sports Editor Jack Rickard doesn't Little House on the Prairie, but the stage is a bit know a "pop up" from a "pop top", a second -string smaller than the television sets he's accustomed to team of KVOA-TV news announcers, crew mem- performing on. bers and coach Ron Brooks, plan to take over and Quite a bit smaller. battle the Little House stars for three innings.
