OUTDOORS: Deer season extends to Jan. 15
The general white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey season closed in most parts of the state on New Year’s Day.
But, that doesn’t mean hunters are completely finished with the pursuit.
Special youth-only and late-season hunting runs through Jan. 15.
The two-week youth-only late season is open in all counties where there is a general open season for white-tailed deer or a full hunting season for Rio Grande turkey.
All legal hunting means are allowed – except in Collin, Dallas, Grayson and Rockwall Counties – where hunting is only allowed with archery equipment and crossbows.
Only licensed hunters 16 years of age or younger may hunt deer during a youth-only season, and hunter education requirements still apply. Check the county-specific restrictions in the outdoor annual.
Youth-only hunting can be a time to make memories, and for children to learn about wildlife conservation.
During the special late white-tailed deer season in 106 counties in the North Zone and 30 in the South Zone, harvest is restricted to antlerless and unbranched antlered deer only. Read more in the Jan. 7 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.
