The staff of Louisiana Sportsman is putting the finishing touches on the February issue, and sending it to the off-site printer today (Jan. 19). It’s 260 pages thick, and it’s loaded with everything you need to know to have success in the field and on the water next month.
Look for it in your mailbox and on newsstands beginning early next week.
Here’s the feature lineup:
