Q: My husband wants to have paid deer hunts on our property to control our deer population. We would like to know what liability we have for either guided or unguided hunts. We have heard all sorts of things concerning our liability, and they are all different. I would like to see the law as regards a land owner's liability. Can you help me?

A: Pick up a copy of "Nature Tourism: Guidebook for Evaluating Enterprise Opportunities" ($30) from Texas Cooperative Extension, (888) 900-2577 or http://tcebookstore.org. Another option is to attend an extension seminar ($35). Topics such as safety, insurance and notice of latent perils are covered. The next seminar is Aug. 2 at the YO Ranch in Kerrville. Call (979) 845-5411 to register.

Q: I am a golfer, hence the golfing tan. I don't mind except for the stark white feet. I've tried lotions, sprays, etc., but they either turn your feet orange or wear off through sweating. Is there anything that can help? Lots of female golfers would like to know. Any at-home tanning beds for the feet or a way of dying your feet?

A: How about a spray tan that lasts about one week? Emily Rodrigues, aesthetician at Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, 6836 Bee Cave Road, has worked with several female golfers who share your frustration. Her advice? Get a complete body spray tan and double the treatment on your feet (she charges $35 per session or $100 for four). Inquire about a price adjustment if you think spraying your feet alone will work. In between sessions, Rodrigues recommends using Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer to keep the color on your feet.

Q: I just found out Howard Nursery has closed. Do you know if any other nursery honors a gift certificate for Howard Nursery? I received one in March after my father passed away, but was waiting to redeem it in the fall to purchase a tree.

A: No such arrangement has been made with another nursery. Robin Howard Moore, daughter of Gene Howard who moved the family nursery to Koenig Lane in 1961, says, "We are sorry for the inconvenience of not being able to use a gift certificate, and we sincerely appreciate our customers loyal support." The nursery tried to advise those who purchased gift certificates during the past few months of the situation, Moore added.
