I’ve always felt a little out of place in Louisiana because I’m not a hunter. It seems so many people in this state and a lot of people I know hunt and fish. Do you?

I don’t hunt or fish, though I have done both in the past (it was never a hobby of mine). I grew up in rural Acadiana and I have a close friend group of 6 guys from high school. None of us or hunters or fishermen.

I have nothing against people who like to hunt or fish, I’m just a city person (which is weird because I lived the majority of my life on farmland in rural Vermilion parish).

born and raised here and never hunted in my life. Not because I didnt want to. My dad didnt hunt and therefore I didn't. I do fish, though. Mostly self taught



Same. I don't even remember my dad ever shooting a gun.

And it's not like you can just ask people to tag along on a hunt. Nobody wants some newb with a shotgun running around their hunt. Kind of bums me out.

I love going to deer camp in the fall to drink and watch football regardless if I kill anything.

Pretty sure a large percentage of guys hunt just to have an excuse to get away from their family

I fish a little, hunt even less. Enjoy both but neither are a priority for me.

In this scenario, all of the wild game will be gone in just a few weeks. Totally gone except in possibly the remotest areas.

You better have a better plan.

Hunt, fish, and golf. Its all the same to me. I just want to be outdoors. I could do all three every day.

Sometimes I wonder if south Louisiana is even worth inhabiting if you don’t fish and/or hunt

Fish regularly. Not much of a hunter at all.

Fishing? Yes. Hunting… no. Within a month or two of a full collapse, there won’t be any game bigger than a squirrel left alive anywhere near areas of human habitation. Within six months, even the smallest game would likely become scarce.

Hunting would become relevant again in a generation or so, after the majority of the humans have died off.

Do both. Hunt from November to January, fish February to June. Play golf in between.

I did hunt at-onetime in my early 20’s, fishing not so much. I guess I’m one of the few that grew up in Louisiana with outdoors not being a thing. My outdoor experience was playing in the creek and woods in our neighborhood.

Growing up in WV you either grab your shotgun or fishing pole, walk outside and you're a short walk to a good spot. It's a much more time consuming process in La so I don't do either nearly as much.

Duck hunt in Delacroix and I do fish but only occasionally during the spring and summer. Wish I could do it more. Maybe if I ever retire lol
