TPWD sets dove season
Dove hunters will have more opportunity later in the season with dates and bag limits set, so says the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has approved the 2014-15 dove season, including a 70-day season and 15-bird daily bag statewide, and a 16-day early teal and Canada goose season.
The traditional opening day for dove hunting remains Sept. 1. The season will close on Oct. 20. There will be a second season from Dec. 19 to Jan. 7, 2015. There are special times for special white-winged dove area as well.
The daily bag limit for doves statewide is 15, and the overall possession limit is 45.
The special white-winged dove area will be restricted to afternoon only (noon to sunset) hunting on Sept. 6-7, Sept. 13-14, Sept. 19-Oct. 20 and Dec. 19-Jan. 21, 2015.
During the early two weekends, the daily bag limit is 15, which will include not more than two mourning doves and two white-tipped doves.
Once the general season opens, the aggregate bag limit will be 15, with no more than two white-tipped doves.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
