Issue begins 2011 deer, waterfowl hunting coverage
The staff of Louisiana Sportsman magazine wrapped up production of the August issue today (July 21), and sent it to the off-site printer. The issue will be in mailboxes and on newsstands beginning Tuesday (July 26), and readers who open it won’t be able to put it down.
Fishing action has exploded across the coast, and the August issue tells you where to go to get in on the action. It’s just a matter of what type of fish you want to catch and where you want to do it.
And, of course, hunting seasons are just around the corner.
In this issue, we give you the latest on the duck numbers that will be aiming toward the Bayou State this season, as well as deer-management information you can take to your club to make sure you’re going to start achieving your goals.
