re: Question for you LA hunters.. Why do so many of yall deer hunt in MS?

Seems like the farmland and river Delta in north la produces heavier horn deer than the hillier, cliff terrain in MS. They may take bigger bucks in north Ms, but this has been my analysis. Not saying there aren't big bucks over there

Alright you've got a point there for South MS where there is a bunch of extremely hilly land. But there's a bigger Delta in MS than LA, a lot of river and large creek bottoms that produce big bucks in MS. The rolling hills in central and north MS can also produce big bucks when managed right. I'm lucky enough to get to hunt a creek bottom, hill land, and delta land in central MS, and the delta and bottomland is head and shoulders above the hills of south MS.

A lot of Louisianians don't know about parts of the Delta and a lot of the smaller creek bottoms. IMO, it's because a lot of it isn't talked about by the people who have it. We can afford what we have, but we can't afford for a lot of people to know about these little spots then have a land grab competition. There's a lot of people who have their little piece of the pie that nobody knows about, then you walk in their house and they have 3 or 4 150 inch deer on the wall.

I'm not trying to get in an argument with you, but i'm of the belief that if LA produced bigger bucks, I wouldn't see ten LA trucks lined up on the side of the gravel road that borders one of my little spots and a WMA where they're walking a mile in to bow hunt instead of staying in LA to gun hunt.
