I heard that abunch of the clubs on Blind River recieved notices about a month ago that their leases had been pulled. I heard a conservation group from Florida purchased the property.

Thats no rumor!!!! That is fact!!

Slick...you kind'a on top of the news in that area...are LT and Curly still around at Eight Point ???...plus tell Big Daddy T hello for me !!!...cheer

Abunch of the club members are actually having a meeting write now at Frost Jr High in Livingston Parish. The Parish President Mike Grimmer is suppose to be there also..........When I hear more I'll post.........I hope they haven't stopped it myself.

Wing it cant be stopped!! Its a done deal I have some friends that own a camp in the affected area and for some reason they were left off of the list with the option to purchase their lot that the camp is on. They are in negotiations right now with the people from Florida. Also have some buddys that hunted right around the bar and the red top area and they have removed all their stuff out of the woods already.

Rabbit Im not sure about the 8 point club as I havnt seen very much around there in a long time. I think someone actually lives in the old camp!!

I talked with my buddy last night after the meeting. He said its over with. The reason the parish president was there was because Livingston Parish purchased 2,500 acres as a hurricane buffer zone around the lake. He said it will either be leased out to the excisting lease holder or open to the public. All good things must come to the end, I guess.......Slick who do you hunt with? Or what camp?

I used to hunt the southern side between Airline(61)and Conway bayou. I hunted with LPG, what about you?

I only hunted as a guest with the Loftlon's & Mc Cons. My paw-n-law hunted with Robert Holland for years. My grandpa hunted around Ruddock from the late 40's until the early 60's. I still have a copy of one of his lease contracts, from '49, I think.

Yes, last time I passed there people were living in it.

Sounds like the Nature Conservancy out of Virginia has bought out more land and donated it to LDWF. I was in the New Sarpy Deer Club until most of our land was bought out and the rest by the a'hole Roussell lawyers from Laplace. I still hunt the public land, and love to go openning weekend and hunt just north of Roussell's property line and shoot deer running away from their stupid kid's 4 wheelers, LOL.
