- News briefs for Nov. 1

- Colorado Division of Wildlife biologists are reporting success rates equal to or higher than previous years for the 2004 deer and elk second rifle season for most areas of the state. Based on field reports, deer success rates in particular have increased over what had been seen in recent years. The higher success rates could be indicating a comeback for Colorado’s deer population, which has been hindered due to the drought that has gripped the state for the past several years. The DOW is reminding hunters who plan on hunting during the upcoming third and fourth big game rifle seasons to enjoy the high success rates, but, most importantly, to be safe while in the field. Hunters continue to do well north of Craig in the Black Mountain, Bear’s Ears and Quaker mountain areas for both deer and elk. DOW Biologist Darby Finley said the same is true in the Williams Fork drainage and in the Indian Run State Wildlife Area south of Craig. Deer hunting was good on the Cathedral Rim during the second season, but the rest of the Piceance Creek Basin did not provide high success rates. There were some elk taken in the Blacks Gulch and Colorow Mountain areas west of Meeker, but the deer hunting was slow. Higher elk success rates during the second season were found in the wilderness areas, but overall success rates for both deer and elk were low south of the White River. Hunters with licenses for the third and fourth seasons should rest assured that success rates could jump dramatically if any significant weather events hit the area. DOW biologist Jim Hicks said the elk harvest during the first part of the second season in the Yampa Valley was low due to the fact that many of the elk moved onto private land, and the elk that remained on public property had done a good job of eluding hunters. Deer hunters were more successful with some large bucks being taken. Deer and elk hunters in North Park experienced high success rates. Boys and Girls Club receives $20,000 grant The Boys and Girls Club of Craig has received a $20,000 Daniels Fund grant to assist in the renovation of the gymnasium and to support general operating expenses. The fund was established in 1997 by Bill Daniels, a pioneer in cable television known for his kindness and generosity to those in need. Club president Pres Askew and his wife, Patti, met Daniels in 1983 and had the opportunity to get to know him during the next several years. “Bill was an outstanding individual and a great business man. He would be pleased to know that a substantial part of the money Patti and I contributed to help establish our club came from investments we made in some of Bill’s cable partnerships in the 1980s. Now, the charitable foundation he established is also assisting our community to provide an outstanding facility and programs for our youth,” Askew said. The Boys and Girls Club of Craig started June 14 with 70 members and now has more than 250 members. In addition to serving youths of the community, the club makes its building available to a large number of other community organizations. Jonathan Godes, Executive Director for the BGCC, project that membership will reach 350 by the end of this year and 500 or more by June. For more information about the BGCC, call 826-0411.
