Waterfowl Hunting Louisiana

Finding a place to duck hunt
I started duck hunting a few years ago and with each year that passes I get more and more into it. I’m a college student at LSU and don’t really have money for a lease, my question is where can I hunt publicly besides WMAs? I am really confused when it comes to public vs private land for duck hunting and I don’t want to piss anyone off or get shot at. I have heard that you can duck hunt any public waterway? Is that true? Can I just slap some moss and twigs over my pirogue and hunt on the side of a river? For example, could I hunt the flats at false river? Or go along the banks of a river and just float there?? What about hunting some of the ponds that are on the other side of the levee Miss. ..... Read More

Deer Hunting Louisiana

question about gun sights
I just bought a handi rifle in .444 caliber and have questions about sights. The gun came with a scope rail and no open sights. All of my shooting will be at 125 yds or less. Does anybody have suggestions on open sights or an inexpensive scope for this gun ? I am really interested for info on open sights and availability of them for this gun.

FISH OF THE DAY

Delacroix Area Fishing
Went fishing today in Lake Batola in Delacroix and it was very windy caught a few Specks and Reds but I think if it wasn't for the winds it would have been better but I was happy with what I caught.

Deer Hunting Louisiana

old deer guns
I was at work the other day and over heard a fellow discussing a new washer and dryer with his wife on the phone. I didnt want to get in his buisness but I had the both in storage and offered to give him a good deal. He said he could not afford a new set and offered a trade. I know this fella and really couldnt imagine what he had I would be interested in. So blindly today I loaded up the washer and dryer and went to his house with them. He said it was a rifle that belonged to his grandfather. I felt bad trading it but I knew he needed the washer and we both would be satisfied with the trade. He handed me a circa 1940 or earlier Savage model 99/ 300. Its said to be the grandfather of all rif ..... Read More

Making the conversion
I have been hunting flooded timber since i was litte wiht my dad and have been doing pretty good. Recently went in with some couisins and got a lease in 21 acre rice field in marksville, La. I have about four dozen mallard decoys and some teal. I recently just got two more dozen. Im confused about how to set up the deekes in such a open space. We got a pit blind in the middle. I got about two hundred yards ove open water in front of me and about fifty yards behind me and who knows how much between the sides. My questiIon for the experts is how do i set my pattern to make it ideal place for the ducks to go? Do i need a goose spread? how many mojos to use? Its a great problem to have! ANY RICE .....

Fishing Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana

To fish or not fish?
My family and I were planning to head down to Cocodrie this weekend, but this afternoon the weatherman has issued a COASTAL FLOOD WARNING... abnormally high tides. Probably going to cancel the trip. Any of you going to ignore the warning and head down to do some fishing anyways?

Illinois success!
I took this buck on October 23rd in Admas County, Illinois. Things were pretty slow for the first day or so since the weather was horrible and there was still a lot of standing corn. I actually didn't see a deer until my 3rd hunt. I watched around 12 or so pass through that evening, one shooter that wouldnt come close enough. Then right at dark this buck strolled by broadside at 20 yards. I shot him a little high but still managed to clip both lungs. He only ran about 50 yards and I watched him fall. He weighed over 250 lbs and my buddy gross scored him at 148 1/2 but I have had a lot of people tell me that he will probably go over 150 so I am going to re-score him soon. This was my first tr ..... Read More

Reloading supplies
I have been thinking about getting into reloading. Can anyone give me some help, like what equipment do I need to purchase. I have been looking in cabelas and they have the starter kit for 3 something and I was curious if that was a good deal. Just what all do I need to be able to build my own bullets. I am mainly going to start out reloading for one of my rifles then as I get the hang of it start on my others. So for right now it will just be a 243. Thanks..

pearl river WMA muzzleloader season misprint
I was told today by agents in the area that the muzzleloader season dates on the P.R. WMA was a misprint. it states the season starts nov 7,but actually it doesnt start until nov 9. nov 7-8 is youth (firearm) only. there will be agents at all the boat launches turning adult muzzleloader hunters around and they wont take the misprint as a excuse if caught,so dont waste your time.bad part is there NOT putting much effort in making it known. posting here is free,and theres no notices posted anywhere along the WMA. I hate to be that agent turning guys away on saturday morning. theres gonna be sum complaining.

Youth hunt
The agents were right. I received a confirmation from the DWF headquarters that this weekend is, indeed, the youth hunt contrary to what the pamphlet said.

Loads and Loads of Fish in the Marsh
Fishing Magician Charters Today we had two groups out. Capt. Jason had the pleasure of fishing with Steve and his wife Sandy. Today was Sandy's birthday and she wanted to fish for her birthday. So, Steve gave us a call and we made it happen. Sandy had never caught a red fish before, so that was the first thing they targetted this morning. They fished the Biloxi Marsh and caught 50 trout and 4 reds. I had the pleasure of fishing with David M. and his two sons. We also fished the Biloxi Marsh catching 90 speckled trout in the 12 - 18" range. All fish were caught 2' under a popping cork using Campo's live shrimp. So, if you want to catch some fish and have some fun, Fishing Magician ..... Read More

Andy's First Hunt
So, ever since my son was born 3 1/2 years ago I have dreamt about taking him hunting. Thing is I wanted it to be the perfect scenario for him so he would grow to love hunting. I was waiting for a great morning to take him to the marsh to duck hunt. I also, ideally, wanted to wait until he was a year older. I couldn't stand it any longer and neither could he. He literally has asked me every day since teal season opened and when deer season opened it only fueled his fire. Well, I saw that the best chance to get him in the woods was this morning. So we talked for a good while yesterday about how we would hunt. And he went to bed dreaming of getting up to go hunting. We got in the stand ..... Read More

Additions to boil
just curious, what other additions (proteins) do you add to crawfish,shrimp and crab boils. I know everyone adds sausage to the boils but anything else? I have added a pork loin to the water and it came out great. Anyone tried catfish filets?

HOPEDALE/BRETON SOUND REPORT.....
I had the pleasure of fishing with Rusty Tardo. We went and did an article on the Pt. A La Hache area to come out in December's issue of the LA SPORTSMAN. It was a picture perfect day. A little chilly in the morning, but eventually turned gorgeous out. We fished a ledge off of a flat in a deep channel south of oak river. We strictly targeted bigger fish and boy were they cooperative! Both of us started out throwing Top Dogs and the fish were absolutely annihilating the bait like you wouldn't believe...... sometimes 5+ times per cast!!! WHAT A START TO OUR DAY! As the sun came up we switched to sub surface baits, chartreuse colored Mirrodine XL's, That was the next right move to finishi ..... Read More

The next round
There is a thin line to walk in any business. Too much information, too much attention and you stand to lose everyone’s attention. However just like there is a boat show season, there is also seasons for other things. Right now is a bad time of the year to talk fishing because a lot of our summer time diehards are in the woods and not paying attention to what is going on. I received an email just this week asking me if it was true that the AJ season would be closing. This is just another example of why recreational fishing has never had the representation that the other groups had. Most people are spending their time doing other things and this stuff sneaks up on them and bites them ..... Read More
