Palacios
loses to
Bobcats
The Palacios High School
Fighting Sharks lost to the
Bloomington Bobcats last Fri-
day 7-0 for their fourth dis-
trict loss.
The game, played at Shark-
Stadium, provided lots of an-
zious moments for each side
as both teams had opportuni-
ties to score.
Bloomington drove inside of
the Sharks’ ten yard line on
their initial possession of the
ball, but had to settle for a
field goal attempt that failed.
In the second quarter the
Sharks drove to the Bobcats
2 yard line only to give the
ball up on downs. The score
read 0-0 at half with the team

RQCKPORT-Between Nov.
16 and Jan. 1, Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department biologists
expect some 10,000 deer
hunters to come to the Webb
County brush country for a
deer.
If history repeats itself,
about 6,000 will be successful
This year, however, Webb
County deer hunters will
operate under a set of rules
different from those for other
Texas deer hunters,
To be legal, all deer-both
bucks and does-taken in Webb
County must be by permit
from the landowner or his
agent.
New regulations further
state that the permit must
contain the date and hour of
the kill, the hunter's name and
address, signature of . the
hunter and the landowner or
his agent and be attached to
the deer.
Once this is done, the deer
must be taken to one of four
TP&WD check stations in
Webb County within 72 hours
after being killed and before it
is taken to its fir.pl desitnation.
Check stations will be
located about six miles east of
Laredo at L.i.F.E. Downs on
Hwy. 59, on Interstate 35 south
of Encinal, on Hwy. 59 about 18
miles west oij Freer and on
Hwy. 359 some two miles west
of Bruni.
The check stations will be
operated daily from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. Nov. 16-Jan. 4.
Biologists have found that
the overall quality of deer, in
terms of weight and antler
development, has been
declining and hunting pressure
has increased drastically in
some areas.
Antlerless deer have been
harvested under a permit
system for some time and the
buck permit and check station
system should give biologists
accurate harvest data for the
entire Webb County deer herd.
Landowners or their agents
may continue to obtain buck
permits at the check stations
throughout the season.
Hunters are reminded to
return all unused permits to
the landowner after their hunt.
