There’s an arrow stuck at the bottom of a cypress tree in the Atchafalaya Basin from my first time slinging an arrow at a deer. A sad reminder of a bad habit of dropping my arm.
A few weeks ago I stuck a pig by the house. When I saw the arrow hit I knew I messed up and hit high (at least I...
Not that I am anxiously waiting for my uncle to pass away, but I look forward to the day that some of my grandfather’s prized mounts will be in my home.
I’m bow hunting this season for the first time in a few years. I hate climbing. Don’t have a fear of heights just find the extra equipment, safety procedures, time setting up and taking down too annoying. Even the last time I gun hunted from a stand I climbed down because I didn’t have a good...
Grim reaper is broad. Do you know which broad head he was using? They’re well known for mechanical broadheads but have an assortment of mechanical, fixed blade, and hybrids. I’m looking at pulling the trigger and buying the fixed blade micro hades.
I was working around there yesterday. The south side of sulphur around the plants looked like it had power and things were much better than last week. New power poles, traffic lights, and a few service businesses open. Still a long ways to go before things are good but it’s getting there. Better...
Hunting season meal prep. Deer neck roast pastalaya. Tomorrow will vacuum seal and freeze a couple bags. It’ll be one of the many fine meals we eat in Arkansas at the end of this month.
Opened this morning in Louisiana. A buddy and I drew on a WMA lottery. Never been to the place before and just picked spots in the dark. Talking to the WMA guys there were birds before the storm but they’ve since been a little screwed up.
One small area in the field had a power line and good...
I called my sister after her first day of teaching during COVID, unknowingly it was her first day and I was the first person she had talked to since finishing work. She was a wreck. I know teachers have a tough job with a lot of extra hoops to jump through, but man the hoops now are way worse...
I called the office in Pineville. The whole forest is closed to all public use.
I've spent the past couple days working from Lake Charles to Cameron. It's a mess. I wish I couldve taken videos of the roads but not the safest thing. DOTD has done a good job of cleaning roads. On highway 82 along...
I was planning on spending next weekend scouting and hunting outside of Alexandria in Kisatchie and a dove hunt at Elboe Slough WMA. Think that area will be open and places open?
Hope things get back to normal for you and everyone up there. I know most people look at what happened to Lake Charles but central and north Louisiana took a bit hit too.
The old lady and I and planning a trip West. As painful as it is this trip will occur during hunting season, likely in mid to late November. But I guess there’s worse reasons to miss out on hunting time.
As of now our plan is to leave Louisiana and stop over in Stanta Rose, TX for the night...
The storm wasn’t good but could’ve been worse. Shifted enough at the last minute and the storm surge wasn’t as bad as predicted. Compared to Rita, the storm surge wasnt as bad but the winds were much worse. Down trees all over the place. Severe damages to homes and businesses. A fair amount of...
I may or may not have forgot a deer head in an icechest inside my hatchback company vehicle when I got called out on a job and left it at the air port for 2 weeks.
I may or may not have attempted to finish said skull mount by letting it soak in a junker ice chest on the edge of the house I...
The storm surge on this thing is terrible. Johnson Bayou to Rockerfeller is all very rural. Oil and gas production, cow pastures, marsh, camps, and a few people that call it home who are a little more prepared for storms than most. Those people do have a lot to lose. But the city of Lake Charles...
It’s not looking good for those in SETX and SWLA. I use to live right on the southern border and still have friends there. Most have evacuated. Couple going to ride it out. Those riding it I trust their judgement and hope for the best. Rita devastated that area 15 years ago and this one may be...
I keep a small bottle of dawn in my truck for that reason and more. Once the meat is on ice I’ll keep the bags in the cooler until I can get to a water source. Then just hand wash them.
