WILD TURKEY HUNTING SEMINARS

DENVER, Colo. – In preparation for the 2010 Spring Turkey Season, the Division of Wildlife is hosting seminars in Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction to help hunters learn more about hunting wild turkeys.  These classes are free.
 
"The classes are geared for the novice and first time turkey hunter," said Steve Lucero, an education coordinator with the DOW.  "It’s a great opportunity for an introduction to turkey hunting 101." 
 
The seminars will provide hunters with an overview of turkey hunting.  DOW biologists will discuss turkey habitat, locating birds, safety tips, current laws and regulations, as well as hunting tips and techniques for the novice hunter.
 
Wild turkey hunting is one of the fastest growing hunting sports in North America.  In most of Colorado, the Spring Turkey Season opens April 10.  Quite a few Units can be hunted with an over-the-counter license but some are totally limited so check the Colorado Turkey brochure for specifics in the area you’d like to hunt.
 
Class Schedule and Location:
 
Denver – March 25, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., Division of Wildlife Hunter Education Building, 6060 Broadway. Limited to 150 people. Call (303)291-7545 for reservations.

Pueblo – March 25, 6-9 p.m. at Pueblo State Park Auditorium. Call (719)227-5200 for reservations.

Colorado Springs – March 27, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., DOW Office, 4255 Sinton Road.  Limited to 50 people. Call (719)227-5200 for reservations.
 
Grand Junction – March 31, 6-9:30 p.m., DOW hunter Education Building, 711 Independent Ave., Event hosted by the National Wild Turkey Federation Western Slope Chapter.  Call (970)255-6181 for reservations.
 
 
TURKEY FACTS:
 
Colorado is home to two subspecies of wild turkey: the native Merriam’s and the Rio Grande, which was introduced to the state in 1980.  Merriam’s are primarily found in open meadows and in ponderosa, oak brush and pinion juniper stands in mountainous zones west of Interstate 25.  The Rio Grande species inhabit cottonwood and creek bottoms adjacent to agricultural lands in the eastern portion of the state. 
 
Consistently, successful wild turkey hunting requires a high degree of skill. Wild turkeys are extremely wary and possess keen color vision and very good hearing ability. Turkeys can see in a radius of 270 degrees.
 
Scouting for sign left by turkeys is a great way of increasing the odds of a successful hunt. Signs to look for include roost trees, droppings, feathers, tracks, and dusting areas and listening for gobbling.
 
The population of wild turkeys in North America reached a low point in the 1930’s, but conservation programs by state wildlife agencies and private partners have restored the birds throughout most of their historical range. 
 
Today, wild turkey populations are booming in Colorado thanks to transplant efforts, protection through game laws, and habitat improvement projects – funded in large part by sportsmen’s dollars.  "There are more turkeys in the state than ever before," said Lucero.

LEARN TO HUNT TURKEYS, MARCH 20 IN MONTROSE

MONTROSE, Colo. — If you’ve ever wanted to hunt wild turkeys, plan on attending a "how to" seminar with experts from the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the National Wild Turkey Federation, March 20, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the Montrose Rod and Gun Club indoor range.
       
"Montrose is ground zero for great turkey hunting," said Tony Bonacquista, a district wildlife manager in Nucla."You can go in every direction from Montrose and find birds — if you know what you’re doing."
       
Stalking turkeys is also a great way to get started hunting. The season is six weeks long and hunting the birds, while challenging, is not as difficult as learning all the aspects of hunting big game. The 2010 spring season starts on April 10 and continues through May 23.
       
"There’s plenty of time for hunting and you don’t have to worry about getting out on the first weekend. Sometimes hunting a little later is better," Bonacquista said.
       
At the seminar the leaders will explain all facets of turkey hunting. Four instruction stations will be included: how to call birds; identifying birds; hunting tactics; and rules, regulations and ethics. Instructors will also explain how to field dress a bird and how to cook it.
       
"Wild turkeys are great eating, and, of course, totally organic," Bonacquista said.
       
The seminar is limited to 50 people; the cost is $10 with lunch included. To register, call (970)252-6000 or go to the DOW’s Montrose Service Center at 2300 S. Townsend Ave.

Some of our organs, such as the liver and the heart, are lateralized. As our bodies develop they mostly display bilateral symmetry across the vertebral column. A new molecular pathway, which plays a role in this symmetry in vertebrates, has recently been discovered.

Although it’s typically considered an adolescent curse, ADHD actually affects about five percent of adults as well. New research in a mouse model of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder suggests that the root of the psychiatric disorder might be the over-activity of a protein that regulates dopaminergic pathways. The work suggests a path toward new treatments for symptoms including inattentiveness, over-activity and impulsivity.

The secret world of inflammation is slowly being revealed by the application of advanced techniques in microscopy, as shown in a new study. Researchers used 2-photon microscopy to identify how killer T lymphocytes behaved when they enter sites of inflammation caused by the parasite Leishmania donovani, and which infected cells they were able to recognize.
