The Texas Almanac 2018–2019 includes these new feature articles:
WATER - An in-depth overview of the state of water in Texas,
written by conservationist Dr. Andrew Sansom. Author of the
acclaimed book Water in Texas, Dr. Sansom provides compelling new
information in this Almanac article. A former executive director of
both the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Nature
Conservancy, he has won many awards for managing and protecting
natural resources and currently is Research Professor of Geography
and Executive Director of The Meadows Center for Water and the
Environment at Texas State University. “No natural
resource has greater significance for the future of Texas than
water. In Texas, the population is expected to essentially
double in the next generation and yet we have already given
permission for more water to be drawn from many of our rivers than
is actually in them.” HUNTING - A look at the popularity
of hunting in Texas by Luke Clayton, a longtime outdoors writer,
radio host, and book author. Clayton, who grew up hunting and
fishing in rural northeast Texas, also discusses the overpopulation
problem of wild hogs and provides his favorite recipes for all
types of wild game. A prolific voice for hunters, Clayton hosts
three weekly outdoors radio shows, writes a weekly hunting and
fishing column that appears in more than 30 newspapers, and writes
for magazines, such as Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine and
Texas Wildlife. “After spending about 55 years in the
pursuit of fish and game all over this country and several others,
I have come to the conclusion that some people are born to hunt and
some are not, but that spark of DNA passed down through the eons
from our hunting forefathers is alive in all of us.”
SPORTSWOMEN - Cookbook author and food editor Dotty Griffith writes
about women who love both hunting and fishing, and she offers up a
few of her favorite recipes. “I grew up in a hunting and
fishing family. Not every woman is that lucky but that's no reason
not to learn how. More women are getting into outdoor sports on
their own, not as tag-alongs. From equipment to fashion, women are
becoming a force in what used to be almost exclusively a man's
world.” FISHING - Fishing guide and expert Kevin “K.T.”
Townsend writes about angling in Texas. Townsend is the author of
the online blog K.T. Diaries and gives an overview of both
saltwater and freshwater fishing from the Gulf Coast to the
state’s many rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. “I can
still remember fishing with my grandfather, who became a guide
after taking early retirement. He would put me in the front of his
john boat with a cane pole. . . . It seemed like we filled up the
fish basket on every trip.”
