OUTDOORS: Apply now for drawn hunts
Hunters may start making plans for the upcoming seasons now by applying for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s drawn hunts.
The online system is currently accepting applications, and the first hunt category deadline is less than one month away.
This year, more than 9,500 permits in 50 categories are available for hunts on public and private lands. It’s an increase of more than 500 permits from the 2016-17 season.
Among the offerings are for the following hunts: White-tailed deer and mule deer, pronghorn, exotic gemsbok, oryx, turkey and alligator.
The system also includes hunts administered by other entities including nearly 2,200 deer hunt positions on four United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges in Texas and 2,500 antlerless deer permits for United States Forest Service properties in East Texas.
There will be 140 dove hunting slots in prime locations around Uvalde, south of San Antonio near Pleasanton, in Young County out by Graham and newly acquired properties near Houston.
These permits are for dedicated positions with quality dove hunting outfitters. The application fee is $10 with no additional hunt permit money needed.
Drawn hunt opportunities may be viewed online by area or category by an interactive map on the TPWD website (tpwd.texas.gov). Fee permits and permit issuance are both handled electronically.

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.
