OUTDOORS: Deer season now underway
Record-high temperatures from Amarillo to Austin left bowhunters sweltering in their deer stands throughout October.
And that’s a trend weather models project could come to an end heading into today’s general rifle season opening day.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists maintain prospects remain excellent.
“I’m still expecting an excellent deer season,” said Alan Cain, TPWD deer program leader. “It has been warm and a bit dry in October, which may have impacted early managed deer lands harvest and archery harvest. . . . I expect hunting to pick up in November as cooler temperatures become the norm.”
Moderate temperature drops set for this weekend should be a reprieve for hunters.
The general deer season opened on Nov. 5, and runs through New Year’s Day in the North Zone and through Jan. 15 in the South Zone.
Hunters are asked to consult the TPWD Outdoor Annual of Hunting and Fishing Regulations Digest for county-specific bag limits and season dates.
Copies of the digest are available at hunting license sales outlets, and in digital format as a free mobile application on Apple and Android platforms at: www.txoutdoorannual.com/app. Read more in the Nov. 5 Bowie News.

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.
