    New Zealand Hunting Invasive Species

    “In response, a few children held up animal carcasses in front of the protesters. One child started a chant of “Meat! Meat! Meat!” and it was quickly taken up by about two dozen others.” Well they may not be winning over the masses with that tactic, but they’ve got my admiration! I know I’m...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    A supportive spouse is likely the best thing in your arsenal for success, don’t ever take it for granted! Even if it doesn’t directly relate to punching the tag, it keeps you in a good headspace which as I’m sure you know is invaluable. Can’t wait to hear the rest!!

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition

    This morning I did have the first hour and a half of daylight free so I drove up and sit in the new stand on the Benton property. Not surprisingly I saw zero. At 7:30 I did have a deer snort a few times a couple of hundred yards away. It ain’t much, but I was able to get in the way stand on...

    The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition

    October 1st and Louisiana archery season is here again so I figure I’ll take the time to chronicle my at home season again. It could turn out to be great, it could turn out to be terrible. I really don’t know what to expect and have tempered my hopes accordingly. As it stands my family and work...

    Some peoples kids...

    I can’t imagine how upset I would be if I was local to that spot. I remember how mad it made me when a pipeline company took out several giant 100+ year old oak trees in one of my family’s cow pastures. No trees for a hundred yards any direction and instead of deviating 20 feet they plowed right...

    In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise

    If you can’t enjoy a hot MH after a long day on the mountain away from the house then it’s definitely a “you problem”. I’ll raise a toast to Mountain House as I fight anyone for the chicken teriyaki after a long day in a backpack!

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    You can still get a helpers license to be legal to assist in the process and fill the tags as long as you have them in your possession. But, I thought I read somewhere that NRs don’t qualify for a helper’s license now. Maybe that is available for people to help on commercial operations, but I am...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    @JohnBud of you ever decide to go, look into Florida, in Louisiana, you are required to catch them first on a hook and line but other places you can actually make a hunt out of it and shoot them a few different ways. My brother has killed them with a bow in Florida. @TOGIE if you can imagine...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    We were expecting some thunderstorms Sunday morning, but we figured we would be able to get the lines checked before they hit. As I got to the launch, Colton called me and asked me if I was seeing all of the lightning. Of course I was, it was pretty hard to miss! Looking at the radar it was...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    Before I processed him I knew my girls would love to see a real gator up close and get their hands on him so I put him in the truck and headed to the house. There were several squeals of joy from my oldest when she heard daddy was bringing home a “real ally-gator!” I just love how excited my...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    Saturday dawned bright and early and were at the launch just as the sun was brightening the eastern sky. Colton had looked at the bridge line and seen that it was still hanging up, no gator there. We headed out to the closest line where we were hoping for a big one, no dice. 2 checks with...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    That’s cool, there is nothing like that in north Louisiana. All of the large scale commercial alligator hunting is done way further south where there is extensive swamps. Around here it’s mostly piney woods and not anything like what most people expect from Louisiana. Commercial hunters like you...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    The first line I set was where a small bayou runs into the lake. It seemed like a likely spot because any gator traveling in and out of the main lake would pass right by it. Plus, it could be checked from the bridge and would cut off some boat ride time. If the chicken was still hanging we would...

    A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!

    For several years now everywhere I seem to turn I see alligators. Seriously. Working in waterfowl habitat management in the Red River watershed of northwest Louisiana keeps me outside nearly 100% of my days in wet and swampy places. I grew up here, and when I was a kid there did not seem to be...
