re: Which parishes produce the best white tail deer hunting?

I've got a small lease in North Webster and I've met my neighbors and apparently most of the people around me are all managing for horns. Which is fine by me because meat is simple with as many deer as there are. I've seen pics of some of these guys deer. One 155 eight point, some 10's up to 170 range. But if you're around Dorcheat you're going to be neck deep in hogs and that messes it all up. They stay out of the hills though.

While that is a heavy deer, most mature bucks in the delta and red River area are going to weigh that much or more. St. Landry has some good deer though.

Absolutely correct

The last few years some absolute studs have come almost within the city limits of Ruston with several more coming from around the Choudrant area. Not sure what genetics got turned loose over there but something is going on.

My mom said one of those Ruston bow kills in the city limits was a deer that people had fed in their yards for years. They were allegedly mad at the guy for killing their pet. My next door neighbor's cat killed a little bunny that we had started feeding. He would come from under my deck to our side of it and eat rabbit food out of a dog bowl. I probably lured him up there for that big cat to kill. We opened the blinds one morning to see the cat batting the bunny around a couple of feet awy in the yard.

I stopped and watched a doe with three little ones cross South Chautauqua Rd twice this fall. I nearly hit one of the little ones when just the babies crossed it another time. I've only seen one doe in my yard on Ashland. We used to see them a lot in a bottom down the road. The bottom starts across the road, in front of our house. Nobody has tried to build anything over there, so we have woods across their for as far as you can see.
