I just finished my first of two three-day bowhunts in a row at Giles Island, and it was awesome. The deer started chasing on Dec. 9, and we’ve been seeing chasing activity every day even in the terrible weather.[…]
With a weekend off from duck hunting, I decided to look back on recent posts to see what duck hunters are discussing to fill this week’s blog.[…]
Just because the numbers of ducks bagged are down in the marsh, it doesn’t always mean you won’t get your birds. Here we are in the latter part of November wondering where the big gangs of gadwalls and teal are, and I’ll be the first to admit that the numbers are not what they should be.[…]
The first split has come and gone already. My personal totals for eight hunts with guests was 103 ducks. Not bad at all.[…]
Seems like the deer movement/reports are mixed. I find this to be a tough time of year to see mature bucks, but I know what is right around the corner: the rut.[…]
I asked for a strong cold front, and I got it. I asked for some wind, and I got it. I guess I forgot to ask for ducks![…]
Tackle companies would like every lad and lass to get a rod this Christmas. Well, except for “Balloon Boy.” He deserves NO toys from Santa![…]
The design of your boat’s bottom will affect the type of propeller you will need. In the simplest of terms, there are two hull designs: displacement and planing.[…]
I remember the first Ruger 10-22 carbine I came across. Home on leave from the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, N.C., in the early 1970s, I took my father’s brand-new Ruger .22 rifle to my grandparents’ dairy farm in Tangipahoa Parish.[…]
Every year I am amazed at how a deer seems to know what type of nutrition he needs at certain times of the year. It seems like flipping the light switch off: The deer just stopped eating rice bran and other high-protein feeds the first weekend of November from the Felicianas and north into Mississippi (Interestingly, it seems like the deer near the flooded river and south around Mount Pleasant and Baton Rouge are still eating the bran/protein).[…]
I took vacation Thanksgiving week to catch up on some chores and, of course, make a few duck hunts! I went out with my son Monday (Nov. 23), and the very high tide from the Saturday storm put water over the transom of my boat.[…]
Baton Rouge’s Patrick Kelleher is a father, husband, bowhunter and (for those who know him) the luckiest guy in the world.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I’m hoping to buy a houseboat in Lafitte, close to Joe’s Landing, across from Cochiara’s Marina, and moving it to Lake Maurpas close to the Amite River.[…]
The words “I didn’t think that anything so ugly could ever win an award” really caught my attention.[…]
Kudos to the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.[…]
I like fishing in December with football games on TV, waterfowl and deer seasons taking place and most of Louisiana’s lakes clear of fishermen.[…]
