 Established 1993  

The North Central Fayette County Wildlife Management Co-op (NCFCWMC) was established February 5, 1993 with the belief that proper management of wildlife and its habitat is beneficial to all people. NCFCWMC wants to provide a healthy diverse animal and plant population for appreciative and hunting purposes. Therefore, it is important to manage areas of continuous land. 

No member shall be legally bound by any policy, except expressing their good faith and intent to comply with managing the wildlife habitat and population of their properties using the NCFCWMC principles.

 

News Needed:
For those who wish to do so, please fax, email or mail me items that you would like to see printed in the newsletter. Any wildlife subject is acceptable. The Co-op members have a lot of knowledge about their land and animals which is the type of information I would like to include. It's always exciting to find out that someone has sighted this or that on their property. Our Co-op members are the best and I would like to make them the most informed members of any Co-op in Texas.

CHUPACABRA OR COYOTE?

We have all heard about someone killing a Chupacabra and questioning whether it is a dog, coyote, or some mythical creature made up to scare folks. And some people have even made money selling T shirts using this poor unfortunate critter. Historically so far, most folks in the know will tell you that it is nothing but a mangy coyote. The pictured one was dispatched by one of our members in September of 2011, this year. As you can tell, it is difficult to see what it once was, a healthy coyote. Mange had ravaged its body to the point that dying was more than likely a relief.

Bunting Time

Painted Buntings are God's gift to us who pay attention to birds. Their incredible colors especially the male are almost overwhelming and beyond description. The female is just as brilliant with her beautiful green plumage.

These guys decided to spend a bit of time in my Cowbird Hotel. Once I saw them, I immediately took steps to free them. I could not let the opportunity pass to actually hold each of them and of course, take close up pictures. Neither of them was overly excited at being captured but once I loosened my grip, they were more than happy to take to the air. I could not hold the male in the proper position to get the effect of his multicolored plumage because if I just moved my fingers a bit, he was ready to squeeze out of my hand.

I still remember the first time I saw a male Painted Bunting. I could not believe my eyes. Male cardinals are blood red and they look like Christmas tree ornaments, and male Ruby Throat hummingbirds are very easy on the eyes, but Painted Buntings are like the best eye dessert there is.
