Once common, the Texas horned lizard is now one of more than 1,300 species of concern across the state. But there is good news for the little “horned toad.” Today, a coalition of zoos and wildlife scientists released 204 captive-raised hatchlings into the wild (100 of them hatched at the Fort Worth Zoo), and this follows new evidence this year that previously released lizards are now reproducing. Meanwhile, a landmark bipartisan proposal now moving through Congress, the Recove...
It looks like Dak will make a comeback, Tyrod (tie rod) will keep his team rolling smoothly, fans love Lovie’s defense and Jacksonville’s Coach Meyer might be looking for an “Urban Renewal” after Week One of the 2021 NFL was completed. The biggest questions facing Texas NFL fans was “Has Dak Prescott fully recovered from his season-ending ankle injury suffered in Week 5 last year?” and “Will Deshaun Watson’s replacement Tyrod Taylor be adequate for the rebuilding Hous...

WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEWTON—The Mustangs have had two weeks to prepare for this talented opponent which has given them plenty of problems in the past. It could very well come down to the last team with the football wins. BRIDGE CITY over ANAHUAC—The Cardinals had a rude awakening last week against the Huffman Falcons and maybe this gut check will lead to a much better performance Friday night. But the Redbirds had better not take these Panthers too lightly before their dis...

Looking at the National Football League from my point of view, the picture isn't too pretty for our two franchises in the Lone Star State-the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys-especially the Texans. We'll be able to see what the Cowboys look like tomorrow night when they lock horns with the World Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers to open the 2021 NFL season. If they look competitive, they could very well be a factor in the NFC East Division. One of the big question marks-has...
Games This Week HUFFMAN over BRIDGE CITY—The Cardinals also need to play a high-profile opponent and found one in Huffman. Hopefully the Redbirds will play as well or better than in last week’s victory over Tarkington. LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over KATY JORDAN—Most teams in the Katy ISD are very competitive, but we don’t know much about this one. If the Battlin’ Bears continue to improve each week, they should come out on top tomorrow (Thursday) night. ORANGEFIE...
The 2021 early teal hunting season arrives this Saturday (Sept. 11) and Texas hunters can once again expect a good season. Habitat conditions across much of the state are in outstanding shape which is a great sign going into the season. "I am expecting a good teal season once again for the state of Texas," said Kevin Kraai, Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). "Teal numbers are already impressive in many areas of Texas, especially the...
In what has become a highly anticipated yearly ritual, wingshooters from all over Texas will make there way to the fields and marshes as the 2021-2022 waterfowl hunting season officially gets underway Saturday. The teal season opener has become a real gathering of sorts, almost a social get together if you will. Hunters eagerly awaiting each new hunting season head to the fields for their first taste of what is in store and this one looks promising thanks to some recent...
“We had kinfolk from Kansas drive down this weekend just because I promised them we would catch speckled trout without ever launching a boat,” said Paul Withers. “I never thought about the possibility of a tent or volleyball goal every fifty feet which demolished my Crystal Beach program!” “We managed to find a little more space at McFadden Monday morning and they were able to take home a couple of bags of fillets. There aren’t many speckled trout or reds in Kansas so their fi...

The Bridge City Cardinals opened up the season with a victory on the road in Buna. It was the first win for first-year Head Football Coach Cody McGuire. After a slow start in the first quarter, the Cardinals fell behind 0-14 going into the second quarter.The BC offense started to pick up steam in the second by driving down the field and capping off the drive with a 16 yard touchdown rush. Two plays later, the Cardinals notched another TD courtesy of a 33-yard pick-six from Rayburn Hebert. After the PAT the Cardinals tied it...
Games This Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE—To get their only points of the game on the opening kickoff created a huge concern for the Mustangs’ coaching staff in their weather-shortened 14-6 loss at Nederland Friday night. As a result, the coaches will make it a tough week of practice on the team. And the team will make it a tough night on the visiting LC-M Battlin’ Bears Friday night at Dan Hooks Stadium in West Orange. BRIDGE CITY over TARKI...
There’s no doubt that the Alabama Crimson Tide under Head Coach Nick Saban deserves to be the No. 1 team in the nation before their 2021 season begins on Saturday. But one of the big question marks facing us preseason prognosticators is can the LSU Tigers rebound from their mediocre 5-5 record last season, after going undefeated and winning the national title the year before? The answer could very well be “NO” to both situations according to two articles in Sunday’s edition...
The sleek silhouette coasted over the tree line with that familiar darting flight pattern, the volley of shots only confirmed the obvious and the dove continued on its way toward the stock tank to get a much needed drink. This scene is played out thousands of times in the state of Texas as hunters take to the field suffering the effects of a long off season without much, if any, practice. Shooting these fast flying birds is enough of a challenge without any other interference,...
It doesn't make any difference if you're a hunter or a fisherman because this time of the year has something for everyone and it's all good. The brief cool down from near triple digit heat has both hunters and fishermen alike thinking of what's in store for the coming weeks. The very first hint of hunting season starts with teal and dove season in September and if you look at the calendar that's not too far off. Hunters of all shapes and sizes flock to the field to take...
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will begin the Alligator Gar Harvest Authorization drawing application process on September 1. From Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, anglers holding a valid license-year or year-from-purchase fishing license can enter the drawing for an opportunity to harvest one alligator gar over 48 inches from a section of the Trinity River using the My Texas Hunt Harvest mobile app or online. Anglers can choose to apply as an individual or as part of a...
It was probably a dead heat as far as the amount of water we had consumed versus the amount of gas we had burned while hoping to locate a few redfish and it wasn’t getting any cooler. There wasn’t a breath of wind which actually helped the cause. I was all but ready to call it a day when John Miller, a visiting construction foreman from Atlanta, pointed in the direction of a handful of terns and a lone gull circling a small area. Before I could even make out what he was pointi...
WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEDERLAND—This season opener usually pits the Mustang against the toughest team they will meet during the regular season in the Bulldogs and this year doesn’t look any different. The ‘Stangs manage to pull out wins in this rivalry most of the time and they should do it again Friday night. LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over HAMSHIRE-FANNETT—The Battlin’ Bears looked really good in their final scrimmage last week against Bridge City and need to pick up w...
Bragging about winning the state and national championships has just a couple more days to go until high school and college athletes kick off their respective football seasons when the talk stops and the playing for real begins. The sudden trend to form "super conferences" has already begun in the Southeastern Conference as the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners decided last month they wanted in on the big money games that exist in that league. The same thing happened in...
The bass fishing team of Jack Tindel and Brett Fregia scored another landmark national tournament finish for Lamar State College Orange last weekend. Tindel and Fregia finished 12th in the Bassmaster College Championship held on the St. Lawrence River in Waddington, N.Y. One hundred and fifty two-man teams qualified for the three-day tournament. Tindel and Fregia ranked in fifth place after one day, catching a five-fish limit of 21 pounds, 7 ounces. After a 17-1 bag on the...
I don't think there was a long, winding stream of football fans waiting eagerly at NRG Stadium Monday morning to buy 2021 season tickets to the Houston Texans upcoming games after their impressive 26-7 exhibition victory over the Green Bay Packers Saturday night at Lambeau Field, but there has to be many who are pleasantly surprised at their performance. As soon as the Texans hired Nick Caserio away from the New England Patriots and Head Coach Bill Belichick as their new...
AUSTIN — September marks the start of dove season for almost 300,000 Texas hunters per year. After Winter Storm Uri hit the state in February, many hunters are wondering how the snowfall and below-freezing temperatures may have affected dove populations. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists report that hunters can expect a good dove season, especially in the South Zone. “Our spring dove surveys suggest that there may have been some impacts from the winter sto...
I cannot tell you exactly how long this phenomenon has been occurring, but it seems to be back on schedule in spite of recent storms and the devastating freeze.It occurred so often, in fact, that any time the bite in Sabine lake was poor in the late summer, local anglers counted on the annual O.C.A.R.C. tournament to flip the switch. Time and again, the Center Director, John Thomas would confidently state just prior to the tournament, “Don’t worry…they’ll start biting again th...
