Wood ducks differ and share some characteristics of other species ducks. Several things should be considered when targeting wood ducks:[…]
Wood ducks differ and share some characteristics of other species ducks. Several things should be considered when targeting wood ducks:[…]
Ryan Bergeron’s huge buck turned heads last season; more trophies are sure to fall this year.[…]
Ameristep’s Brotherhood tree stand collection was created with the comfort of the hunter in mind. Features of the ladder stands include a flip-up adjustable camo shooting rail, new larger flip-up Durasling seats and a flip-up footrest.[…]
The Friday after Thanksgiving 2011 found Lyle Savant of Central locating an active scrape near an oak flat deep within the interior of Sherburne Wildlife Management Area.[…]
As a soldier in a field-artillery unit based in Baumholder, Germany, three words drilled into my government-issue brain were shoot, move and communicate.[…]
While archery hunting began Oct. 1, there is still a lot of deer hunting remaing for this season.[…]
The Who Dat chant at Saints games rings a little hollow this year, but for Capt. John Falterman Jr. and other Louisiana anglers throwing the Bomber Who Dat Spoon, they don’t mind a hollow Who Dat.[…]
In May 2011, historic flooding once again swamped the Atchafalaya Basin when the Morganza Spillway was opened.[…]
John Falterman Jr. considers his Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor instrumental in his approach to saltwater fishing nowadays, and the feature that he has found most helpful is it’s Spot Lock system.[…]
In search of vegetative foliage, five bucks — a mature 8-pointer, a 3½-year-old, two spunky spikes and a curious button buck — go single file along the forest edge, ascending a bluff.[…]
Directly across the Atchafalaya River on its western bank in St. Landry and St. Martin parishes, another 28,500 acres of mixed swamps and hardwood bottomlands provide even more public access to deer hunting.[…]
Low tidal ranges can be the death knell for saltwater anglers. Simply put, when the water’s not moving, the fish aren’t biting.[…]
I can’t remember exactly where I was when someone first told me “Keep it simple, Stupid.” I do distinctly remember that I was a little insulted — being called “Stupid,” and all that.[…]
Few bass anglers give much thought about what spinnerbait they tie on the ends of their lines. Want proof? Take a look at what’s lying on the front decks of bass boats all across the Bayou State.
Odds are you’ll find 75 percent have tied on 3/8-ounce chartreuse-and-white spinnerbaits with tandem Colorado/willow-blade combinations.
The other 25 percent? According to West Monroe’s Kenny Covington, they’ll have tied on a 3/8-ounce chartreuse-and-white double-willow spinnerbait.

Nash Roberts IV is a big fan of artificial lures, only turning to live bait during the hot days of June, July and August.[…]
