There are some beasts over there especially close to the river.


I mis typed, it's west central but it's virgin bottomland near the Fourche river. I've had pictures of some huge deer, but my uncle squirrel hunts it a lot and keeps the deer pressured.

I've got pretty good hunting on my land around my house. I shoot them out of my shop, off my front porch and have a box stand in the back and a couple lock ons. Got a 2000 acre lease on the big muddy in Tensas parish that's pretty solid. Now have a company lease in west Tejas that I've yet to set foot on.

Have an uncle who owns around 100 acres in Pointe Coupee parish. Surrounding clubs shoot 8pt with some form of a spread enforced. Great part is he only has a couple stands on the entire property, and we really only hunt 1.. The stand pulls 3-4 really nice bucks every year.

Going to try to join a lease with a buddy next year in Mississippi. I miss the club and campfire away from home.

My mom and uncle own 80 acres in simsboro, la that we have 6 box stands and a pipeline that runs through it and a primitive campsite with 2 old trashy campers to sleep in. It seems larger than 80 acres bc we hunt mostly the edges and are surrounded by land that no one hunts. I'm also in a lease in Oil City that's 2000 acres just to run dogs. We kill our meat in simsboro and go to Oil City to have fun.

Did this last year for the first time with some old timers, I didn't kill anything but it sure was fun to see those guys get all fired up about the dogs - the roads they run through their lease were in pristine condition..

Non existent. Moved to Miami last year, getting damn close to thinning the iguana population.

300 acres of family land in MS. Didn't do anything this year to prepare, except put out feeders. I am not very optimistic about this season, but we didn't put the work in so no complaints.

I haven't deer hunted much in the past 5 years. Having two young kids and moving to Florida just took a lot of the urge out of me. There are deer around but they are so damned small it hardly seems worth the effort here in Florida.

Will actually make my first deer hunt in quite a while next week in Nebraska.

Don't have one. Ducks in the am, football and cooking in the PM.

Outside is free range for guests. We have big deer

Still waiting on that invite

We have 2300 acres lease in LaSalle Parish. 19 members which I feel is to many. Wish we could get down to about 10-14. Myself and 2 BIL's pay 2 memberships each, so that's 12 stands between us and we've sort of taken our on stance to manage it and its starting show up.

Between what my FIL owns and what we lease, we have about 320 acres in North Caddo Parish. (80 disconnected 3 miles down the road from the other 240).

We have about 8 box stands and a lock on. Terrain is mixed from ground boxes in the thick bottoms to straight shot hi-line towers and box stands set off in the turns of wide trails.

Started out 15 years ago with 650 acres, but that has dwindled to about 400, which half of that was clear cut two years ago.

Its about 5 of my family members most at one time, so its kinda tight. We make it work since my dad leases it for $800 a year, and its 20 min from my house. We had our deer population really high, but the clearcut has drove some out.

It'll do until I have 3000 acres of my own lol.
