Prólogo al libro: RELATOS DE CACERÍA de don Tomás Treviño por el Ing. Jesús Yurén

 

El prologo de mi nuevo libro me lo preparo mi estimado amigo Don Jesús Yurén

 

Los dichos de los viejitos

Son Evangelios chiquitos

La caza y la conservación están íntimamente ligadas: cazar sin conservar es sólo matanza y conservar sin cazar es contra-natura. Por ello, cuando alguien, con la experiencia de don Tomás Treviño plasma nuevamente sus recuerdos en un libro de cacería, los devotos de San Huberto debemos poner atención. Tomás ha trascendido en el mundo de la caza, no sólo por sus logros cinegéticos ni por sus éxitos en la conservación pero muy especialmente porque como hombre de bien ha decidido compartir el gozo de sus experiencias en el campo de caza con aquellos, nosotros, que no lo acompañamos y con ello, Tomás tiene su bien merecido premio: revive sus vivencias cada vez que las escribe y cada vez que sus lectores las recreamos.

A más de su hábil desempeño en el monte, Tomás comparte con todos sus colegas cazadores el excelente blog que actualiza periódicamente y nos mantiene informados con gracia y picardía de sus muy amplios conocimientos. En éste, su nuevo libro, Tomás nos conduce a través de la fauna mexicana a las costumbres, modismos y tradiciones de la cacería, desde los cóconos ladinos a través de los esquivos y retadores venados, tanto buras como cola blancas, hasta el borrego cimarrón, gloria de la fauna mexicana.

La trayectoria venatoria de Tomás dura ya setenta años, desde su infancia en San Luis Potosí tras los conejos y liebres usando una escopeta de avancarga hasta el continente negro donde en Zimbabue, cobró cuatro de los cinco grandes; león, leopardo, búfalos y elefante. También sumó a su morral al Príncipe Negro, en mi opinión uno de los más bellos y esquivos antílopes africanos: el sable. Asimismo ha incursionado en Burkina Fasso, uno de los últimos Shangrilá del continente africano.

Desde luego, sus experiencias internacionales en América del Norte y que comprenden incluso el oso negro, son aplicadas en la cacería nacional donde, incansable, Tomás vena en nuestro país, muy especialmente tras los venados, afición que comparte con una gran mayoría de monteros nacionales pues es una de las grandes piezas más accesibles a todos los alcances. Ha cazado el aoudad o borrego berberisco que está firme y ampliamente establecido en las montañas desérticas de nuestro país. Como buen ecologista, combate los marranos euroasiáticos que son una verdadera plaga en los campos de América.

Leer a Tomás es como platicar con él, recuerda miles de detalles pequeños pero muy interesantes, los nombres de sus compañeros y colaboradores, el detalle de sus aciertos y de sus fallas. Tomás es uno de los personajes de la cacería norteña, que ha practicado ya en dos diferentes siglos, el XX y el XXI, pero cuya experiencia y logros conducirán a los jóvenes cazadores por las sendas de la caza, la conservación y el respeto a la vida silvestre más allá de nuestros días, trascendiendo por sus escritos y por lo que deja a sus lectores.

Deseamos a Tomás una gran inspiración para poder disfrutar con él sus grandes conocimientos y muy especialmente su fácil charla convertida en prosa. Al presentar este libro ya esperamos con ansia que su fecunda creatividad nos traiga el próximo.

Jesús Yurén, algunos datos biográficos.

Nací el 25 de Noviembre de 1942

Cobré mi primera pieza de caza mayor, un venado cola blanca, el día que cumplí 16 años, en la sierra de San Marcos y Pinos. Un venado cola blanca también es el último trofeo que abatí en diciembre, pocos días después de cumplir 72.

He cazado en los cinco continentes, mi cacería preferida son los borregos y las cabras silvestres. Creo que el mayor trofeo de la caza mayor es el Marjor de Sulaiman.

He escrito cinco libros de cacería: ‘El Juglar del Viento’ tomos I, II y III; ‘Cantos de las Cumbres’, traducido al Inglés y publicado por Safari Press como ‘Song of the Summits’ y ‘Tras una Quimera’. He colaborado con capítulos en varios otros y escrito numerosos artículos sobre cacería y conservación.

Pertenezco, entre otras organizaciones de cacería y conservación, a la Orden de San Huberto, al Club Safari de México, al Capítulo Monterrey del Club Safari Internacional, al Grand Slam Club – OVIS, al Dallas Safari Club, a la Federación Mexicana de Caza.

He sido honrado con los trofeos ‘Luchador Olmeca’ (1985) y ‘Salón de la Fama’ (1986) de la Confederación Deportiva Mexicana, ‘Weatherby Award’ (1995), ‘International Hunter of the year’ (1996), ‘Conklin Award’ (2005), ‘OVIS Award’ (2005). Primera edición del premio ‘Adrián Sada Treviño’ y ganador de la ‘Copa Monterrey’ en 2013.

Boone and Crockett Club: Do Not Use Scoring System for Captive Deer | Deer Management at Buck Manager‏

 

Colaborador MIguel Cagnasso

Don Tomas,

me da gusto saludarlo y le envío esta información sobre la organización Boone and Crocket que NO quiere que usen su sistema de medición para medir las cornamentas de los venados en CAUTIVERIO.

Solo para los que son cazados libres en su hábitat natural. 

Boone and Crocket esta en contra de la manipulación artificial de la especie para hacerles crecer la cornamenta.

 

Boone and Crockett Club: Do Not Use Scoring System for Captive Deer

B&C Score: It’s become a part of the everyday lingo used in the world of white-tailed deer hunting. TV show host refer to it, most hunters over-estimate it, deer hunting guides live and die by it, and deer breeders use it to market breeder bucks. Uh-oh, someone stop the music! Despite the fact that B&C score is the gold standard for scoring big game, the Boone and Crockett Club politely asked last month that deer breeding operations no longer refer to their name or use their scoring methods when marketing pen-raised deer and elk.
A bold move, but the right one based on the organization’s president, William A. Demmer. To qualify for the B&C record books native big game animals must be harvested under fair-chase hunting conditions. In short, the Club is reiterating that their proprietary scoring system is intended for use on free-ranging animals, not captive bucks — and the Club wants no affiliation with pen-raised wildlife.

Source: “The Boone and Crockett Club scoring system exists to document the successful conservation of wild game animals in North America. The Boone and Crockett Club objects to and rejects any use of or reference to the Boone and Crockett Club or its scoring system in connection with antlers/horns grown by animals in captivity.”
Demmer said, “With the growth of the deer breeding and shooting industry, and modern marketing and selling of ‘shooter bucks’ raised in captivity and graded and sold using B&C scores, it was time to make this unauthorized use of our scoring system more widely known.”
The Club’s records program was established in 1906 as a way of detailing species once thought headed for extinction. Today, the B&C scoring system is used to collect data on free-ranging big game. These data reflect successful conservation efforts, population health and habitat quality. Biologists compare and contrast records to improve local management strategies as well as state and federal wildlife policies.
“To maintain the purity of this dataset, and to ensure its usefulness for conservation professionals, the Club has always excluded farm-raised big game from its records program. Including unnaturally produced or genetically manipulated specimens would taint one of the longest running conservation programs in existence,” said Demmer.
The Club supports use of scientifically guided wildlife management techniques to enhance or restore big game populations and other species at risk. However, the Club condemns artificial enhancement of a species’ genetic characteristics for the sole purpose of producing abnormally large antlers to increase commercial value.

ELEPHANTS UP CLOSE!

DANGEROUS GAME, GUNS & HUNTING

It was April 2013 when my wife, Denise, and I stepped off the aircraft and onto the tarmac of the small Maun airport in Botswana; this was a dream about to come true. We were met by Ivan Carter’salways smiling face and our videographer, Andy McDonald, whom we had met several years before in Argentina. We loaded our gear into Ivan’s truck and went across the street for a quick meal, then stayed the first night at theThamalakane River Lodge. As we arrived at the Kukama Camp the next morning, a sense of excitement welled up in me that would be very hard to put to words. I just knew that we were in for something special and to do it with my favorite hunting buddy, Denise, was going to make it all the more special!

When searching so many square miles for a proper, old, elephant bull to hunt, you spend many hours driving old roads, searching for that special giant, wide-cracked footprint. There are so many miles to cover, it is done at a pretty darned fast speed, and the thought that went through my head as we passed hundreds and hundreds of foot-prints was, “How in the heck can they see any crack detail in the tracks at this speed?” Ivan assured me I would know, as when a proper track is seen, the back of the truck erupts with noise from the trackers. Occasionally we would see a bull out in the bush just meandering through and Ivan would decide if he wanted to do apractice approach so that we could get ourselves prepared for an encounter with the largest land animal on earth. This is one thing Ivan does that separates him apart from most other PHs: on these practice approaches, you go in close! I’m talking 10 yards close–OR CLOSER. The Ivan Carter way is not for the squeamish! Ivan’s goal through this practice is to help with education of shot placement, as well as making sure that we were getting more comfortable around these huge beasts. This happy-go-lucky guy would visibly change, “we are not taking any chances,” he would often tell us, and we were both surprised how carefully he would assess each “practice” bull. After the first approach, as soon as my heart had slowed back to normal, I looked forward to this experience every time Ivan decided a particular bull was worth a closer look, not for the possibility of a shot, but just to experience the walk up encounter. Wow, what an experience and something that’s totally and utterly addicting, just learning to read the body language and start to understand what each posture means to us was amazing.

Night-times were very cool, so sleeping was easy most nights. I say most nights because many of the nights a couple of male lions were voicing their opinions of each other back and forth within just yards of our tent, and what a grand experience that is to witness with your own ears. It is so amazing you cannot help but listen in awe–there is no way you can sleep.

It was always fun the next morning, walking the path to the dining chalet and seeing how close the tracks were to our tent from the night before. We also had a female leopard with cubs that visited underneath our tent a few nights, but she was very quiet, and left only footprints.

Each day we had the pleasure of approaching two or three elephants. Due to an extremely dry year, we were seeing between ten and thirty bulls a day, which to Denise and me was fine. Ivan said if this area hadn’t been in a drought, we’d be seeing upwards of eighty bulls a day. Each day around the lunch hour, we would typically stop within a few hundred yards of a water hole and set up a tarp for shade and just watch the show.

Cow elephants would come in and play in the water themselves, throwing water and mud allover themselves. Getting to see the tiny little newborns was a special treat also. Bulls did come in, but none that were deemed worthy of following away from the water hole. Shooting an elephant at water is a cardinal sin and never done.

For eight days we repeated this process of spotting and approaching, and never once did we tire of it. It was fun and exciting every single time, and by the eighth day, we could hardly believe that much time had passed already. We were having so much fun each day that neither of us felt any anxiety about whether we would get an elephant. We were both confident that when the time was right, it would happen.

On the tenth day, we were hustling down one of the roads through the concession, studying tracks, when all of a sudden, out of the shade of a huge acacia tree, loomed a huge, OLD bull–one with a giant “potato head” as Ivan called it–and one that most certainly fit our criteria.

This experienced, old bull had heard the vehicle, however, and hastily left the scene. We quickly came to a stop and Ivan immediately could tell this old monarch was worth a serious look, as he knew age was more important to us than size. He asked that we quietly get out of the truck and at the same time asked, “Do you mind the tusks being worn down a bit?” He was given an enthusiastic answer of, “not at all,” so off we went in search of his footprints in the direction that he had vanished into the bush.

This cagey old bull had been standing in a shady mud hole, so the cracks in his feet were filled with mud, and he was not making any tracks at all. As I followed along behind Ivan and the trackers, I wondered at first how they were following this animal, as there were no tracks. I finally realized they were following the tiny little specks of mud flying off his feet as he walked along. Amazing what can be learned from these trackers.

We were moving briskly through the bush, but silently, being ever-so-careful, looking ahead, hopefully to spot the bull before he spotted us. We had been moving through the bush for about an hour when Andy, the videographer, snapped his fingers and got Ivan’s attention. Pointing ahead and to the right, he gestured that he saw an ear flap under a tree in the shade. Ivan studied the area and realized it was our old bull about 125 yards away. He had settled down and was cooling himself again, but he was facing his back trail, watching for us.

Ivan calmly stopped us all and said, “This is him, we must be very careful and quiet, as he is looking for us.” He then indicated how he wanted to approach this bull, and asked all of us to settle down a bit and get ready to move in on him. I must say, this is a point where any true hunter gets that super adrenaline rush. You start to hear your heart pounding in your ears, your mouth gets dry, I hope this never leaves me. Your mind goes over and over the shot placement lessons you have had the past few days, quickly raising your double rifle up and squeezing off your shot. Then reality sets in and you take that first step toward your goal with your PH.

As we all moved slowly forward, another fifty yards, Ivan indicated for some of the hunting party to stop and stay back as only he, the hunter and videographer can continue forward, due to noise potential. He explained that with this old bull being so wary of us, that this was the best approach.

As Ivan’s now smaller group moved in on the bull, I realized that I was witnessing something very special, and I felt I was almost in a dream state. Closer and closer, when all of a sudden this giant grey beast sensed there was something approaching. The wind favored the hunters, and in order to see, he decided to approach what movement his eye had caught and at that moment, he emerged from under the shade tree to have a look at what dared to follow.

Looking down on us like a huge battleship, he seemed much larger than one can possibly realize. The bull took a few steps closer. Ivan whispered, “Be still.” Then, right when it looked like things were going to get out of hand, with breath ragged, mind racing, it seemed that this enormous animal was just a second away from touching you, Ivan instructed to slowly raise the rifle and shoot him right between the eyes. This unbelievable story unfolded at an incredible FIVE paces! At the same instant of the trigger pull, this huge bull raised his head slightly, taking the bullet path slightly off target, and below the brain. He spun so fast that it was hard to imagine, and off he went. Instantly the finger is on the back trigger, firing a second shot, and he crashed down.

Ivan followed up and moved in carefully, pointing out where final shot placement should be after reloading. Once this magnificent beast was down for good, I finally started to realize, in my world of hunting, what a HUGE event this was in my life. Being a hunter from a very young boy until now at 58, I always thought the very pinnacle of hunting would be shooting the largest land animal with a double rifle, up close the way it should be. But, folks, I’m here to tell you, an even greater feeling than everything I had dreamed or imagined, greater than all the stories I had read and campfire tales I had heard–is watching your wife do it–as I had just done. Thank you, Ivan!—Brian H. Welker

Venado Afortunado

Así quiero yo un venado papita, de ser posible de 12 puntas. Si yo les fallo corren al primer tiro.

Pedro González Vigil-Escalera, Estudio de Taxidermia

 

Les mando fotos de venados que apenas recibí para ser montados ( soy Taxidermista) , aquí en Puebla se aprecia mucho el poder lograr cazar uno de estos venados pues hace años era excesivamente difícil, gracias a la creación de UMAS cada día es mas común poder cazarlos  y con mejores calidades de venados, además en dichas UMAS ya cuentan con instalaciones modestas pero muy cómodas ofreciendo el servicio completo como en cualquier lugar bien organizado.

Son venados muy chicos como pueden ver , estos que estoy subiendo fotos miden 75 y 81 puntos SCI aprox. y son considerados grandes trofeos, lo común es mas chico, el peso de estos venados sin desollar  fue de 44  y 53 kilos , según (Gmelin 1788) es la sub especie  de Odocoileus virginianus mexicanus
