Deer Hunting in Outside Louisiana
i had a pretty good season now i have 2 bucks that are caped and sitting in my freezer.
can anyone let me know what the going rate is for shoulder mounts on deer. Also, looking for a good taxidermist. I am in the Houma area, but travel throughout New Orleans and to the North Shore every week for work.

i got the botttom jaw bone back from the taxidermist. he told me the deer was at least 5 1/2 yrs old. i checked it against everything i could find online, and i think it is either 5 1/2 or 6 1/2. does anyone know where i can bring it in the Houma area to get another (better) opinion on the age?

Hog Hunting in Outside Louisiana
i am going on a hunt on a section of property that my company leases from the Kings Ranch. i am hearing that the wild hogs there are not good to eat because of the tannins in the acorns. is this true, or just the guides way of not having to deal with cleaning hogs?

Other Hunting in Outside Louisiana
i plan to do some varmint hunting for coyotes on my deer lease in Alabama after deer season. i plan on using my deer rifle, 7mm mag, but do not want to use the same bullets that i use for deer. (Barnes triple shocks).I want a bullet that will not mess the pelt up to bad. i am thinking a solid bullet would punch straight thru, and not leave a big exit hole, anyone have any thoughts on this?

Deer Hunting in Southeast Louisiana
does any one have any information on any local charities similiar to hunters for the hungry. the lease i am on has a lot of does on it that need to be thinned out, and there is only so much meat that my family uses. I won't shoot something that will go to waste, and if I can help someone less fortunate , that's even better. I live in the Houma area. thanks

Captain Paul - GPS Info in Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana
I am looking to buy a GPS/SONAR unit for my boat. I am looking at mostly the Lowrance 525c df or the Lowrance x-27, the x-27 costs about $300 more than the 525c, is it worth the additional money. and if i get the 525c, should I get an internal or external GPS.

It will be used in a 20 ft boat , mainly fishing coastal islands and near shore.

are these good choices, or would you recomend.... Read More

5 inch or 7 inch screen

~ Captain Paul's response to: ~ FALCON ~

Lowrance has top flight equipment. I am sure that either unit will more than live up to its specifications. Either unit is an excellent choice.

Aside from the fact that the LCX-27C is a 7 inch sonar/GPS combo and the LMS-525-C DF has a 5 inch display, there is very little difference between the two units.

I suggest that you go to the Lowrance web site and compare the two units side my side.

Enter http://www.lowrance.com/ProductComparison/product_comparison.asp?compare1=lcx27c&parentPage=Marine&numCompare=1 and select the two units.

This feature will allow you to compare each feature of one unit to the same feature of the other.

The LCX 27 also has the ability to reach sonar depths to 3000 feet, but I don’t know if you really need that feature where as the LMS 525 has a max depth capacity of 2500 feet. Both units are shown with an EXTERNAL ANTENNA, but I believe they can also be purchased with an internal antenna. And both units can accommodate Lowrance’s new USA TOPO Series 7 mapping software. This software is the latest and is quite impressive.

As for the antenna, my hand held unit works fine on the console of my bay boat without an external antenna, and I suspect that your unit will work there also. But before you buy it, borrow a hand held unit and place it on the console where you will mount the fixed unit and see if it performs up to specifications. If so then there should not be a problem with mounting the fixed mounted unit at that location.
It comes down to your choice weather or not you want the larger screen and the deeper water sonar features at the price increase.

Remember that the supplemental mapping software will cost about $120.00 plus. Figure the cost of the TOPO mapping in your budget. It is worth it.
