re: Louisiana Deer hunters, How was your season?

Killed 3 in LA. 7pt, 8pt, and a doe. This was one of the best seasons I’ve had as far as finding sign and seeing bucks goes. I let a lot of small bucks walk, missed a pretty solid buck with my bow, and saw a couple shooters out of bow range. Also, the amount of big rubs I found this year was insane. I feel like I definitely found big buck areas on multiple wma’s throughout the state, and I can’t wait to hunt them again next year.

ETA: pics of some of the bigger rubs I found. The first 4 pictures are a rub line with a good bit of smaller rubs in between. The 2nd is a closeup of the 1st with my bow for size reference. The 4th is a trail cam pic of a horizontal rub that had a big scrape under it. I spent a good bit of time hunting that area and passed on a couple smaller bucks, but I think I found it too late and it was after the peak of the rut there. 5th picture is a rub I found very late in the season and didn’t get to hunt it as much as I wanted. 6th pic is a rub on a rub line I was hunting when I killed that buck. Maybe he made it, maybe there’s another big one in that area still. Finding big rubs gets me fired up more than anything else. They might not get worked as consistently as scrapes, but at least they let you know there’s a big buck that is somewhere around that area.
