Area 7 marsh Pipeline levee stand 55 but the 10 mph east wind makes it colder 7 mag A-Bolt Had a young 6 point at 30 yards 30 minutes ago. I keep some corn scattered on the levee for pigs but this little knucklehead walked right thru it without even thinking about nibbling. They moving for...

I'm right there with you. Spent duck seasons at the family farm in Roanoke and hunted between Welsh and Pine Island for 30 years. Many a duck and Goose got shot at on the Johnson Farm north of Welsh and with the Tietje's north of Roanoke. It was nothing to see 10 big bodies of geese driving arou...

Prawn -.we are fishing, not hunting. Makes a world of difference. If I dig a pond on my property, stock it with bass and it does not connect to public water, there is no limit on how many I can keep. Those are my fish. If I dig the same pond but also dig a channel which connects to public ...

Scrowe- what you are confusing is tidal water vs land. You cannot own flowing water. Land doesn't move, tidal water does. I'm not going fish a duck pond during duck season. And neither are 99% of fisherman. But when hunting season is over, fishing a pond is fair game. I live close to the abo...

No way this should be as complicated as the state has allowed it to become. Fish have to have water to survive. If the water is tidal, navigation can be completed by a floating boat, and YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE STATED LOUISIANA CREEL LIMIT, the water is public....
