Kingfisher County Game Ranger Blake Pearson, left, was the guest speaker of the Kingfi sher Lions earlier this month. He told the members and guests that there are currently 135 full-time game rangers across the state, with typically one per county west of I-35 and two or more per county on the eastern side of the state. Pearson said the deer population of Kingfisher County was healthy, but noted that the turkey population was decreasing of late, for the same reasons for the decrease of the quail population, which includes loss of habitat and an increase in the number of predators, including hawks and coyotes. Because turkeys nest on the ground, any number of animals including skunks, possums and raccoons will eat their eggs. He also said that lifetime hunting and fishing license prices will increase within the next year and he encouraged those inclined to do so to get their licenses now to avoid the increase. Pearson was raised in Watonga and now resides in Kingfisher County with his family. He is pictured with Kingfisher Lions Club member Gerald McMullin.
