Well here is my results and stories from my last month of hunting including the 4 deer and 3 hogs I shot on the trip. I've haven't been posting because I was away from the computer on my long camp vacation hunting everyday. Now have a freezer full of meat but still finishing off the season bow hunting at St. Catherine's Creek NWR in Mississippi this weekend and next thursday. Had an almost big.... Read More
Here's my latest article on my hunts from Thanksgiving through this past weekend where I hunted Bayou Cocodrie on the gun lottery hunt. Hope yall like the video. It isn't the best footage, but i'll be trying harder to improve on videoing hunts. We had hunted Wallace Lake and the biologist said only one 8 point was killed on Wallace Lake. Did anyone else hunt Bayou Cocodrie and have any luck or.... Read More
Last weekend was a success. I had a two does come up directly behind me on bayou cocodrie one morning at 8 yards, but I was unable to get drawn in time for a shot as they skipped through. The next morning my finacee went hunting at a lease hunting in the stand with her maid of honor who was having her birthday party that weekend. Laura missed a doe on a long over 100 yard shot on her first ever.... Read More
My friend got these bear pics from a buddy who hunts near big lake wma. He says the bears are loaded over there. Here's my latest sportsmans article,'Not Enough Arrows, Just Enough Shells.' After 29 bowhunts this season I have no meat to show, yet after 1 hunt with the shotgun I got 2 hogs. Also i'll be switching to new broadheads this coming weekend. The striker magnum 125 grain which has a.... Read More
A buddy at the gym sent me this link and thought some of yall out there would be glad to see someone get caught. A friend of his had his stuff stolen a few years back and they were able to recover the trailer and 4 wheelers, but were in very poor condition. Glad this guy is caught. Unfortunately, when my vehicle was broken into this summer I got no justice and the police never looked into my.... Read More
Here's my results from Laura and I's first week of hunting. I hope I can learn to hit the animal next time, lol. Bowhunting can be so rewarding, but usually its just frustration! At least i've been in the action.
Also i'm very impressed with the new groundblind, the ameristep penthouse, i bought for Laura for her b-day. Its absolutely amazing and 8 feet tall inside and $130. She can set it.... Read More
Here's my results from last weekend and some rules on primative weapons which many hunters I chatted with didn't know. I eager to see what kind of thumpin my new gun with these big bullets will due on some animals latter this year. Also, I got pics of this bear and never seen one so plump. I know they have cubs in early winter and wonderig if this bear is pregnant. I hope so. The picture that.... Read More
Here’s my snapper, Mr. T, like the actor. He’s mean and feisty and the coolest! I hand feed him fish or deer everynight. I found him just hatched the size of a quarter on the track 2 years ago in the midday sun about to dry out. Anyways its 2 years later and I just got a 4 foot long 75 gallon aquarium. I’ve been adding in fish from the bayou, which my turtle scarfs up when he can, but the tank.... Read More
Here's my new article. I plan on watching this video before my hunts this year to get amped, hope it inspires some of yall to give public land a chance. I went scouting this past Sunday. First stop was Tunica Hills WMA. I went over there more so for hiking purposes, as I love running the trails and trying to climb the steepest hills. I did see some good deer sign at a spot I hunted before, but.... Read More
Well with all the good news I heard from Dularge I drove down to Cocodrie yesterday afternoon to fish the last two days of the Star tourney for labor day if everything was ok. I called to check if the roads were open and if was ok for fishing and got the okay. The place looked pretty flawless for being a hurricane came through. I saw several people fishing and others using the Harbor light.... Read More
Scouted all weekend for deer @ 3 Rivers and Red River taking advantage of the cold front. With perfect temperatures in the 50’s Sunday morning I walked 8 hours. I jumped 3 deer, 2 rabbits and startled some hogs which allowed me to creep into the 15 yard danger range. All of the deer sign was near temporarily unpressured field edges and water sources as usually in September. The woods are back.... Read More
Went look in the bayou Lafourche in the backyard yesterday and the fish were at the surface sucking air. I rescued one small socalait by hand and put in my 75 gallon bayou style freshwater aquarium. Beautiful addition. Today i put in the pirogue and went for a paddle. I saw big bass everywhere bearly hanging on. The water started smelling and turned to that blackish color. I notice all the....

In case anyone doesn't know the best site I found to check the water levels at pretty much anywhere is www.rivergages.com
I wasn't able to make it to my hunting camp this weekend which is on cross bayou in Concordia parish so I just hit the Bayou cocodrie @ deer park link which shows the water heights. Luckily for me the water is still low there, but i'm watching it closely. You can see the.... Read More
Didn’t bother fishing with the wind this weekend. Made a trip to three rivers to set trail cameras and scout. I was seeing plenty of good sign and fresh deer tracks. Sure enough while standing at one of my favorite spots I ground hunt from I heard a big creature in the tangle. This was the same spot I doubled up on two years ago when I killed a doe a quarter mile away. Then stalked and grunted.... Read More
Here is my favorite site for checking hurricanes. I'm a big weather buff and check every 3 hours for updates on all storms. Looks like this storm keeps coming our way. I hate how 3/4's of all the speghetti models have the storm going through LA and half through the western portion of the state and yet the cone of the storm doesn't even have any of the cone in the western half of the state. Then.... Read More
My hunting buddy texted me last week telling me he ate rattlesnake for the first time and loved it. I thought he was joking, but he wasn't. With all the rain forecasted I scratched fishing. The weather was going to be perfect for scouting & setting cameras with the light showers & rare summertime cool front. I called LDWF to check if it was legal & took off to the camp rattlesnakin’....

I put together an article on all the different weather websites I use to help me on my fishing trips. I know they have plenty of other good ones out there, but these are the main ones I use and they work on phones. The article has links to most of the websites. Hope yall enjoy the story. Laura has off 3 days weekends like I have and is on call once a month so I'll now have infinite hunting and.... Read More
Waited for today for the weather to get right before heading to cocodrie and it was worth the wait! Started out a lil later than I was hoping for. Got to my favorite rig, but just as I started fishing topwater some jack donkey came run his motor a few feet from the pilings I was fishing so I left before my 4th cast. Stopped quickly on the wine island pass side of last island, but only caught.... Read More
Got my replica of my 43” bullred I caught on my brother’s bachelor party yesterday. Wow, I’m loving how it looks. The guy I found in Westwego had done a fantastic job for me for 400 bucks. It’ll make a fine addition to my deer heads at the new hunting camp. It only took 2 months to get it made. Now I need a giant trout and bass to make replicas of.
Here’s a quick video I made from juglining.... Read More
This weekend was another relentless pursuit with downs, downs and finally some ups. I got off work early Thursday and headed to Cocodrie for some night fishing planning to spend the night solo in my tent. Little did I know the tent which I haven’t used in years since buying my camper wasn’t in the bag with the poles, only the rain fly. My buddy took his boat with a coworker night fishing too so....
