Just focus on the hogs
Posted on 9/22/18 at 4:09 pm to wickowick
Ok. What should I look for? Hog sign everywhere, dont know what I would hunt to have better odds of seeing the while bow hunting. Found one wallow. I like eating hogs just as much as deer.

Don' have to focus on much for hogs in Sherburne. They are everywhere. Find a wallow that looks to be used regularly, or any area with a lot of hog traffic. That's how I hunt them.
The flagging in Sherburne is pitiful. I might be a dick for this, but I rip that shite down when I see it, especially if it looks old. With all the technology we have today, I don't understand using all of that flagging. It broadcasts your hunting area to others, and it trashes up the woods. Hell, I can remember 7 years ago walking around in West Bay and finding flagging along a drain!! This fool couldn't even follow a drain without putting out flagging.
Woodsmanship is just about extinct on Louisiana Public Lands.
As for the acorns--hell, Sherburne is just about one, massive oak flat. They really don't have to move much for food.

Not a dick at all. There is a big pile of it coming home with me today.

Damn, it is gonna be fun figuring this out. Where I hunt in north Mississippi I basically go check about 20 white oaks and see which have acorns and shite under them and then hunt based on the wind. I can kill a doe with hardly any effort. I feel like hunting the same private land for 10 years has made me lazy. Also kill a few on public land there

I dont plan on being in there for rifle season

We move hogs within 100 yards of the roads when bird hunting, they are everywhere.

I did an extensive scouting trip one time and still couldn't get away from sign of other hunters. It is the 1st or 2nd hardest hunted public areas in the state IRC. Also it has seen the biggest decrease, along with Yancey and another WMA, in herd population of any public in the state. Horrible habitat and herd management is coming home to roost.

Can you elaborate? I’m curious what they should be doing different.
Posted on 9/22/18 at 9:24 pm to bobdylan
Rack restrictions and fewer tags for starters
Posted on 9/22/18 at 9:52 pm to bobdylan
Habitat/timber management is pretty much non existent which has lowered the areas carrying capacity. Add to that liberal bag limits, very long gun season and heavy pressure and you have a herd population that has been in a steady decline. The flood and increasing hog population has also added to the problem.

Flagging tape should be illegal and considered littering on public land imo. I understand some people wanting to use night eyes and reflective tape for flashlights in the dark, but who in the frick can’t find their way from the truck to their stand in the daylight or vise verse?
Somebody is using it, a lot of somebodies because I see new stuff all the time.

Yup. What's even worse is with this trail it looks like they added tape every year for 5or 6 years. They cant find their way to a place they hunt yearly

where did it lead...you know you followed it...
Posted on 9/23/18 at 7:02 am to farad
Lol was on the way back to the boat when we came across it. Followed it back to the bayou. My dad is 66 and was getting a little tired but he perked up and was giggling like a kid when he was pulling the tape down. There were beer cans and water bottles along the trail, I picked up and many of those as would fit in my pack.

Said only depth keeps them from being consideres on par with them as the Ruston team he said was unreal.
Sometimes 10 yards

A few times I have taken flagging down and re routed it or made a big looping circle

A good bit of timber was cut off the north end over the spring and summer...

I took it all out with me and threw it away but I was tempted to leave it at the bank where it started. I can't stand a litterbug. I wish ldwf would try to do some sort of social media campaign where you take a grocery bag of trash out with you and if you post to the hashtag you could win a hat or some dumb crap like that. I was over a mile away from any road or waterway at one point and came upon a pile of beer cans. It's sad how a lot of Louisiana folks treat public land. I'd hate to see what their houses look like. The public land isn't ours, it's just our turn.
