if caught on wma's most tickets are 370 for minor infraction's--go to the DA for that wma and ask for the 70 dollar fine which gives you a yr. to be a good boy without other tickets for that yr. then it goes back to normal situation--

At Peason Ridge WMA. First ever fall turkey hunt should be interesting. Lottery draw deadline in August. Shotgun only for 100 permits. Should be interesting to see how it turns out.

The deer have been moving down at the Atchafalaya Delta WMA. Not sure if bucks are chasing does yet, as I have not actually seen that, but we have seen deer moving right at first light and right before dark. On my last hunt, at 5:00 pm I see a bush shaking vigorously. Then I see it get pulled down and backwards. Obviously it was deer feeding in the myrtles no more than 20 yards away. It ate on.... Read More

I have seen this skinny starved looking guy on my last two trips to three rivers. It seems as if someone dropped him off. He looks like he needs a good home with 3-5 meals a day. I have no room for him. I will offer a $1000 cash reward to the first person to take him in.

Did some scouting for 1st time on Thur 2/11. Saw 3 large bodied deer. Never been in woods like this before. I only hunt South Mississippi (Leaf River WMA), so I'm use to big hills, pine trees, hardwood bottoms, and heavy,heavy dog hunting pressure. I live near Abbeville, so I'm interested in hunting LA and MS next year. Can you guys tell me the deer primary food source? I see there are a lot of.... Read More

I was at T/R this past weekend... went sqirrel hunting sunday morning. After chasing sqirrels through the woods I dropped off the ride into a slough to sneek up on the squirrels without being seen. I made my way about 50yards then went up the ridge and she was 15 yards from me and closing. I took her out with a head shot from my .17hmr. My ol' lady is allowing me to keep the hide and said if I.... Read More

Hog population has steadily been growing unchecked. It is now a full blown epidemic. The way the current regulations and seasons stand hunting will not begin to alleviate this problem. I have been hunting this area over 30 years and have never had this kind of interference hunting deer. Whether it is from the food competition or just for some reasons a bioligist would know, the problem needs.... Read More

We saw several does the last few hunts. If not for a faulty release problem I would have tagged out. A few days ago,I fell and braced myself with my right hand to keep from hitting the mud. Problem was my right hand was wearing my Winn Free Flight release. Needless to say it got the worst of the mud and water. I cleaned it up (I thought) and went on. Didn't think about it again. Five does came.... Read More

Tried a bow hunt at Sherburne WMA yesterday afternoon. Most exciting thing I saw was a big turkey that I scared up. Not much fresh sign in the area we hunted. Beautiful afternoon with little breeze. You could hear a pin drop, but nothing was moving except squirrels and armadillos.

Last night I was able to witness two of the very rarest things that a hunter could possibly be apart of in the state of L n ouisiana! First I was able to harvest a mature buck in Thistlethwaite WMA .Then I met a game warden who went above and beyond his duty to help a fellow hunter. Late afternoon I shot a large buck deep in the swamp and right away knew that I alone would not be able to.... Read More

We hunted 3 days this week at the Atchafalaya Delta WMA. We saw one deer and 2 hogs, one of which my buddy, Randy shot and killed. Plenty of fresh sign at some locations, but no daytime activity that we could find. We hunted 4 different islands. I'll be back out there again next week to see if we can catch up to them. Stay warm and be safe.

I will be hunting duck hunting the South Farm this weekend and have never hunted there before. I was wondering if anybody has heard of any ducks being killed there in the last few weeks. Also any tips that one could give would be great. Also has anyone heard of any reports coming from the section 120 road? Any help would be great.

I am going to take a ride up to Ben's Creek soon and I was wondering if anybody on here hunts the area. Is it pretty crowded up there? Years back it was a really nice place to hunt, but times have changed.

Me and the “CREW” headed up to three rivers to partake in a little, after thanksgiving, “Population Control”. The first morning yancy and I paddled around trying to get to a favorite stand but the water was too high. We returned to camp to see the guy camping next to us had killed a nice buck. After making a new plan we all headed back to the woods. That evening Yancy killed two hogs and.... Read More

Stalked and shot with the bow. Got about 25 yds from him and smoked him on first shot. He was with another rooster which flew. He was the bigger of the two. Dropped him off at the taxidermist.

Calm down
Folks, we need to turn down the heat or this thread will be removed. Discussing the issue is fine, but if things turn to bickering and name calling, we WILL pu the thread.

We appreciate the help in keeping the site positive.

Well guys, my bow season so for has been rather slow. I was fortunate enough to take a nice 8 point on Oct 12th but before and after that day, the deer sightings have been few for me. I am hunting at a lot of different locations on both the perimeter islands and the Big Island. Other guys tell me they are seeing deer and I know of 9, 10, 11 and 13 point bucks all killed recently. I have passed.... Read More

Well, I stayed home this weekend from the Mississippi hunting camp, however I took a ride to Pearl River WMA to make a Hog/Squirrel/Rabbit hunt. I have not been out there for a year, just waiting for the woods to grow up a bit from Katrina. The woods are still thick, but if your a serious hunter it could be hunted successfully. I started off the morning stalking for hogs, not much hog sign.... Read More

Because of starting a new job; I haven’t been able to bow hunt since opening weekend. I have come to the conclusion that work interferes with my hunting schedule way too often. So if there is anyone out there willing to pay me to hunt, just let me know. Finally, this weekend, I get to return to my favorite WMA. Can’t wait! Anyway…..here are a couple of pictures from opening weekend. On the.... Read More

I have a question for ya'll. Is there a boat launch down around Burns Point where you can access the Wax Delta with out going down the river? I know there is a launch under the Intracoastal Bridge, but you still have to go down the river. Someone told me there is a launch further down but you have to have a private lease to use it. I usually put in at Calumet.
