    Deer farts

    I would usually laugh a bit here at this fine example of meateaters high quality journalism, but apparently it hits close to home for most of you. I’ve never heard of this phenomenon and definitely never experienced it. What a fascinating group of guys we have on here lol!

    Good grief, and used to think the threads about point creep were a depressing subject. The pain is real and it’s everywhere. I’m in the diaper buyer camp too, thankfully my mom keeps the baby and saves us some on that end at least. I was in the grocery store just a couple hours ago looking for...

    2023 spring turkey!

    Whether you hunt them often or not, just having them there is good for the soul I say!

    2023 spring turkey!

    Congrats! I dream of one day living in a place where I can see turkeys from the front yard. Driving 45 minutes to get anywhere close to one is tough on a turkey fanatic!

    2023 spring turkey!

    If I had to rely solely on our LA public land for turkeys I would end most seasons empty handed. You ever put in for our lotteries?

    2023 spring turkey!

    I was a bit skeptical myself of using shot so small, but the ones I shot this year with the TSS folded up as if struck by lightning! I’ve seen quite a few people using .410 for turkey now, especially people taking kids.

    2023 spring turkey!

    My trip to OK started pretty rough for the first 3 days but ended up turning out great for us after all! After combing through piles of jakes we finally found a couple of adult toms that had buried themselves in a hidden draw 1.5 miles from the closest open road and far away from people...

    2023 spring turkey!

    Something finally worked today! Zero gobbling again on the roost, but my brother apparently felt bad for shooting the jake I passed and came tagging along to with me to help find one this morning. After a morning of complete silence he saw this one strutting down a pipeline following 2 hens...

    2023 spring turkey!

    Oh, I thought about it. And have shot my fair share of Jake’s in the past! The main thing that saved him was the fact that right in the tree line 150 yards away was a mature tom gobbling on the roost. I assumed with all of the commotion at the decoy, he would pitch down and come right over but I...

    2023 spring turkey!

    It’s been pretty slow here in Louisiana, I’ve only got on birds 2 times since season opened, but did have a great experience last Wednesday morning. Called a Jake over right off the roost who proceeded to assault and violate my decoy for 20 straight minutes. He was so smitten that even after...

    2021/2022 Trapping Thread

    I had a dozen out for most of the last 2 weeks and only caught 2. On the same property last year I caught 58 without even trying too hard. I’ve also noticed for years now on nights when the temps dips below freezing my catch drops off. I’m wondering if our southern snowmagedon last year may have...

    Why might a non-firearm be carried during gun seasons?

    I just think, “Wow, they’ve found several good uses for a bow and arrow…I bet they know how to use burger meat too!”

    2021/2022 Trapping Thread

    Trapping is sure fun but good grief it can be frustrating! I don’t get much chance to do it on my own time recreationally, but I get to do a good bit of animal damage control trapping while on the job. I had this happen on 2 sets last week, a coyote came in and worked the set leaving tracks all...

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt

    Well it ended Monday and for the first time ever I’m okay with that. I can’t ever make myself stop hunting no matter how frustrating it is and usually I am having fun, but this year has been a mind-numbing grind. Mainly it was due to the lack of deer seen, the entire month of January I only saw...

    What's on the smoker today?

    30 lbs of homemade Andouille Sausage! I think this calls for a pot of gumbo or jambalaya next week.

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt

    It is cool, but the novelty has long worn off. I’ve been fortunate and banded so many in the past 10 years that during the late parts of hunting season we end usually have our banded birds shot almost every week on the property and some of my catches in banding season have been over 10% banded...

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt

    It was a good weekend, I took Saturday morning off from the deer stand and took my brother and a friend duck hunting on one of the properties I manage. It took all morning but we got our limits. It was about as cold as Louisiana gets in the low 20s and there was ice everywhere. All the flooded...

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt

    Good grief this season is kicking my tail. I got to hunt 3 times this weekend and ended up seeing 3 deer which is a win overall for January hunting around here. Problem is all 3 of them spooked long before getting in shooting range. 2 came in down wind and then this afternoon as I was standing...

    Evolving as a hunter over time

    Good thread. I think I’m mixed up between the phases of hunter evolution, I’m into the methods only liking to bow hunt and doing it my own way, but I’m also hung up on trophy quality when it comes to shooting bucks, I can watch little guys all day long with zero temptation, but then again I’m...
