Staff Writer Crandall journeyed to City Bank Stadium for a game that matched rivals, PIRATES and JACKRABBITS, on another 100+ degrees Texas day with a sprinkling of rain and more record-breaking heat expected, according to Pete Delkus. By 6:15 p. m. many cars were already looking for good spots. Somebody left a good one for me–thanks!
It’s time to get ready for the upcoming deer season. Jeff Rice sets up a new Snap Lock Hunting Blind. Marc Mitchell gives a tip that might just increase your odds of harvesting a bruiser buck, and Luke talks about gigging bullfrogs.
GIGGING FROGS AND GARLIC FOR DEER
To say that this was one of the most anticipated games of the Jackrabbit football season would be an understatement.
With the backdrop of senior night, home opener, 100-degree weather, and facing the Wildcats who were 8-3 beating the Falcons last season, there were some questions on how the Falcons would respond. Head Coach Eric Luster said, “The Falcons had a great offseason and placed first in two team camps this summer. The Falcons also qualified for the state 7 on 7 this summer.” Luster said he was very excited to see the team continuing to keep the winning momentum.

MAKING READY
It’s August, which means kids are back in school and the fall hunting and fishing seasons are quickly approaching. Before packing your favorite tackle and camo for trips, be sure to purchase an annual fishing and hunting license for 2023-24.
Only a couple more months and cooler weather will arrive and, once again, it will be time to head to the deer woods.
