My buddy Darren Cooper and I had painstakingly chosen the stand site to cut off a big buck that everyone in the club knew frequented a narrow strip of woods between a large field and the highway cutting through the lease.[…]
Water came early to Tensas Parish this year. Sloughs and drainage ditches that normally wouldn’t fill up until late December were already reaching their breaking points back in October.[…]
On Halloween night in 1959, an event took place in LSU’s Tiger Stadium that gets more exciting each time you watch the grainy black-and-white video.[…]
The buck hadn’t stopped for more than a few minutes in days, and was simply worn out. The 10-point had been busy chasing does and taking care of business, leaving little time for concern over its physical health.[…]
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 sit here on Thanksgiving morning giving thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ for all he has blessed me with: my precious family, friends, job and country.[…]

Dave Moreland holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in biology, and spent 30 years working with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. After serving 15 years in the field, Moreland became the state’s Deer Program manager in 1992.[…]
Wildlife agents rescued a hunter in Pointe Coupee Parish Monday (Nov. 23) after an apparent tumble from a deer stand, the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reported.[…]
Well, after a very good last couple of weeks of October, the deer movement has gone to close to non-existent. My hunting buddies from all over Louisiana and Mississippi and I were having great hunts from Oct.15 through around the first week of November, and all of a sudden it turned off like a light switch.[…]
Ricky was born and raised in Morgan City and, while he loves all sports (football, basketball, snow skiing, tennis, fishing to name a few), his passion has become deer hunting. He also is a LouisianaSportsman.com field reporter.[…]
Robert Polito has spent years on the Kenner police force learning how to bring his weapon to bear in a pinch, and all of that training came together Saturday when he saw a huge buck pop out of the woods on his St. Helena Parish lease.[…]
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Robert Barham has issued a Declaration of Emergency closing Caldwell Parish’s Boeuf Wildlife Management Area until further notice because of high water.[…]
Steiner has expanded its popular Predator C5 line of nocs to include 8×56 and 10×56 models for even greater light-gathering and higher-resolution views.[…]
