Wolves do not occur this far south, but coyotes do and the animal could have been a hybrid cross between a coyote and a large domesticated dog. ...

| re: My dog makes me feel like a good person. - BayouTiger71 on 1/12/13 at 6:32 pm
I am so ashamed that I am attached to my wife's spoiled rotten chihuaha and morkie; they insist on sitting on my lap every night and I try to resist, but they beg and whine.
As an aside, several years ago my wife were driving in the Bywater area of New Orleans and I commented on two men walking...

| re: Duck hunters vs. Fishermen debate - BayouTiger71 on 11/19/12 at 5:30 pm
I have many years experience fishing the marsh before, during, and after duck season. I also duck hunted for many years. A reasonable and responsible fisherman will avoid duck hunters whether it is public or private waters. However, I would love to have duck hunters respect me when I am fishing. ...

| re: 35 wheelen vs 4 44 - BayouTiger71 on 10/30/12 at 5:23 pm
You are right. You do not notice recoil when you shoot at game, but remember what it feels like when you shoot targets at a rifle range. Of course, I am a wimp and use a Caldwell lead sled for target sighting. ...

According to published stats, the .35 Whelen has considerably more kick in ft-lbs. than the .444 Marlin. The Whelen is more powerful and more flat shooting.
I have a .444 and use the Hornady Leverevolution ammo, which works great. It groups well and has good terminal ballistics.
To reduce r...

Did not hunt today because I killed a 6-pt buck yesterday afternoon along the Intracoastal Waterway in Bourg; I was camping out and I celebrated last night.
Brought my guest to a stand this morning and and then cleaned up around the camper and camp site.
My deer hunting is now a lower prio...

| re: What kind of rifle do you shoot? - BayouTiger71 on 11/4/11 at 7:48 pm
I shoot left-handed because I am left eye dominant but use a right-handed model bolt action because I am spastic with my left arm and hand.
Shouldn't ever need a second shot anyway. LOL...

Did not go to the camp, but spent most of the day clearing walkin trails and planting personal food plots in the Lafourche Parish swamps along the Intracoastal Waterway. The site is accessed only by water and then by walking. Planted mustard greens and five lbs. of iron clay peas. The ground was ve...

| re: Possible Fish Kill? - BayouTiger71 on 9/4/11 at 8:24 pm
Immediately after a tidal surge and as the waterws recede, the fishing in the marsh is generally great because of specks that are brought in and of red drum that feed on forage. Later, expect some fish kills in the uppper estaries and freshwater areas as "degraded, low-oxygenated water" from swamps...
