The new Keith Warren’s Deer & Wildlife Stories television program, sponsored by the American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA), continues to get up close and personal with North America’s most popular big game animal — the whitetail deer. In its second episode, airing this week, Dick Cain of Trophy Ridge Whitetails in Saint Jo, Texas, opens his ranch to children for a day of outdoor education and adventure.

Texas Deer Association Executive Director Karl Kinsel was a featured speaker during the recent 79th Annual Meeting of ASFMRA (American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers), held at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel in San Antonio.

Applications for the 9th Annual Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA) $20,000 Wildlife Conservation College Scholarship Program, sponsored by Carter's Country Outdoor Stores, are now available. 

As the leader for premium whitetail auctions in Texas, the Texas Deer Association has announced the dates for its 21st Century Deer Management Workshop and the TDA Superior Genetics Whitetail Deer Auction. Both events will be held at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo on Friday, February 13, 2009, in the Livestock Auction Barn and are expected to attract hundreds of deer breeders, whitetail enthusiasts, ranchers and exhibitors.

Strengthening its commitment to outdoor education, the Texas Deer Association has announced its support of Outdoor Texas in establishing a summer youth camp dedicated to deer education in 2009. The all-new summer ‘Deer Camp’ will teach young outdoor enthusiasts about whitetail and mule deer in Texas, and is slated to begin July 12, 2009.
