November magazine covers plenty fall options

The November issue of Louisiana Sportsman will be complete by the end of the day (Oct. 18) and hopefully circulating hunting camps soon.

Subscribers will start receiving their magazines next week, and newsstands should have them in stock by the end of the month.

We know hunters are chomping at the bit to fill their deer tags, so we’ll give you some pointers so you’ll never have to guess what bucks are worth shooting. And anglers looking for easy pickings can find out how and where to catch wintertime trout.
