When it comes to frogging, having the best gear will definitely put more legs in the pot. These cold-blooded critters only pump hot blood during the summer months, allowing them to jump at even the slightest hint of danger.[…]
Last year, my younger brother had his bachelor party in Cocodrie for a fishing weekend with the guys. Since this year I got married, I decided to do the same thing, except my trip was a post-wedding party labeled “The Non-Bachelor Party.”[…]
Recently I went on a 10-day fishing excursion for my honeymoon to a place where an island is known as a key and the ocean view will take your breath away.[…]
My younger brother has been joining me on a few public-land gun hunts over the past few seasons on Red River WMA.[…]
My brother joined me for a few days of hunting Red River Wildlife Management Area during the bucks-only season. Rain was in the forecast, but he drove up early for a morning hunt, and we decided to tough it out in our ground blinds.[…]
My last article featured a hunt during which I chased down and shot two hogs. I was disappointed my camera was switched off when it happened. It just so happened when I least expected it a similar chase ensued while the film was rolling.[…]
A few weeks ago I had the easiest shot at a dozen hogs, and I was stuck in a tree with no arrows left.[…]
The weekend started slow for me. Laura had a hog walk behind her within 30 yards on Friday (Oct. 12) morning, but she couldn’t see it in the thick underbrush from her ground blind. She heard it softly grunt several times.
I had no action on either hunt Friday or Saturday morning. Things picked up on my midday stalk when I came across this huge king snake and a large 8-foot gator in a small 6-inch deep hole about 10 yards across. It was by far the longest king snake I ever seen. They are such pretty and friendly snakes, unlike the gator who wasn’t very happy to be stuck in a small place with me nearby.[…]
I couldn’t wait to hunt opening day, but as the season approached road blocks were getting in the way of my plans. My water heater had busted and then broke in my camp the previous week, spewing water everywhere.[…]
Two years ago, I jumped some deer and a streak of white caught my eye. I thought surely that was brighter than just the white of a tail, but the thick cover of the area left me uncertain.[…]
Having a good day of fishing usually comes down to one thing: the weather. Whether you’re catching plenty or not, fishing is always fun unless Mother Nature turns against you[…]
I planned on a quick freshwater crabbing in June, combining some fishing for catfish while waiting for my nets to fill with blue paws.[…]
With the weekend set, I was eagerly anticipating a full-out ruthless fishing assault at my lil’ brothers bachelor party in Cocodrie. Unexpectedly, there was a last minute curve ball thrown at us: A huge, swirling low-pressure system making its way from Texas was planning to curve toward us all three days.[…]
Many people love to go set-netting for crawfish, but few go during the prime feeding hours, when net frames bend from mudbugs spilling over all four sides as you rush toward the bank.[…]
As the weather warms, saltwater fishing heats up. I can always find the fish using tandem rigged plastic or live bait. I have tricks for using either these artificial or live bait setups with or without a cork without ever tying a knot to change my rig.[…]
After archery season ends I’m a sad pup. Though after putting the rod in the boat for the first time in months my tail’s a wagging. It’s time to go after those bass and frogs.[…]
