OUTDOORS: Big Game Awards entries accepted through Feb. 15
Hunters can show their prowess by entering their big game harvest in this year’s Texas Big Game Awards program.
The program is accepting entries now through Feb. 15.
The Texas Big Game Awards, celebrating its 24th year, is a partnership from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Wildlife Association.
It recognizes the contributions landowners, land managers and responsible hunters make to managing and conserving wildlife and wildlife habitat on Texas’ private lands.
Hunters who harvest a white-tailed deer, mule deer, javelina or pronghorn antelope this season meeting the minimum net score requirements set for their respective region may be eligible to receive recognition in the “Scored Entry” category.
Scoring is done by local certified Texas Big Game Awards scorers using the Boone & Crockett Club Scoring System.
The entry is free.
The landowner from where the entry was taken also is eligible to be recognized. In addition, hunters that harvest a bighorn sheep during the current season are eligible for recognition.
Hunters of any age who harvest their first big game animal in Texas are eligible for the “First Big Game Harvest” category.
Hunters who harvest a white-tailed deer, mule deer, javelina, pronghorn antelope or bighorn sheep are eligible, regardless of sex or score of the animal in this category.
All youth hunters (hunting under a valid youth hunting license) are eligible for the “Youth Division.”
Three regional Sportman’s Celebration banquets will take place. All program participants will be recognized and receive a certificate. Participants who are unable to attend will be mailed their certificate at some point after their ceremony has been completed.
Region 1-3 will celebrate on June 27 in San Angelo at the McNease Convention Center.
The state banquet is set for July 10 in San Antonio at the J.W. Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa, which will occur in conjunction with the TWA annual convention.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
