Many children today suffer from "nature deficit disorder" and are not as healthy mentally or physically as their parents were when they were children. Watch the video to learn more from a pediatrician about the benefits of spending unstructured play time in nature.

Poaching is so wrong and we need to support our game wardens every step of the way. These kinds of crimes don't seem like a big deal to some people but if left unchecked, the poachers will destroy our animal/fish/bird populations and rob all of us of our state treasures. If you see a crime (no matter how insignificant it may be..) report it. The game wardens can't do it all by themselves and they need our help.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Mule deer season opens Saturday in the panhandle. Slightly larger than the more common whitetail deer, the mule deer is also noted for its mule-like ears. Today in Texas they’re found primarily in remote areas of the panhandle and Trans-Pecos mountains.
