See if Riverside in Plaquemine has it. Their OG boudin is the best in the BR area IMHO

Lived in Modoc County and South Lake Tahoe. Northern California is awesome. Now for hunting big game... Well blacktail on the coast is about it. Not getting a mule deer tag in those parts. Good trout fishing and duck hunting in the right areas.

Lava Beds NP, Redwoods NP, Trinity mountains, Lake Tahoe, and much more amazing outdoor activites are within a 1/2 day drive for you. Bouldering, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Backpacking, Skiiing......

Will it be expensive for some things? Yes. Does CA have screwy politics? Yes. But rural Northern CA which is predominately ranchers and farmers is every bit as conservative as anywhere in Louisiana. Their votes get watered down by SF, LA, and other cites.

Take the move.
As some one who lived in the high desert in California for a few years; that part of Arizona is too damn dry for me.

Just read a news article out of Florida. Two days after the morning cursing, supposed no lights incident the confrontation happened.

Two days later he was that crazy about it....
If their was a statewide ban in feeding would the price of a lease go way down? I would imagine a bunch of hunters would leave leases if they can't hunt over bait.

$2000 lease would become around $1000?

Willy's on Coursey.
Tony's if you don't want to eat in and want to see "more parts" of the city.
WOW...
Like others said. If you sent some +P 115gr. would it have been justified? Dude went 51/50 on a teenager killing time.

Build deer blinds and paint with the reject paint from Home Depot that is 9$ gallon. Get a few years and let it return to earth. Lol
We got a set of Demeyere fry pans and Wushof knives with our wedding funds. We are both foodies and enjoy cooking. Really like both.

If the pans stick, dump water in them, bring to a roiling boil, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the crud off. EASY

I like the old school green lava soap. Works good for pine sap as well.

The lemon garlic one is phenomenal if you toss your pasta in it before covering with alfredo sauce.

look for the thread about brush piles.... :lol:
Fly into Reno and stay on Lake Tahoe. TONS of hiking around there. Rock climbing, bouldering, a brewery in Truckee.

I understand your point. But IMHO I would feel my son is too young to shoot a high powered rifle if he can’t operate a hammer safety. And I would not want my 10 year old shooting further than a 30-30s effective range until they are older and more experienced.

I realize this is a somewhat of a conservative stance and I will likely get downvoted. Lol
Lots of good posts covering the main points.

Be respectful, don’t leave trash or flagging, ect.

But keep in mind you will have an encounter with someone that is a complete turd. Learn to let it go and accept like any other facet of life some hunters are selfish pricks.

Lots of cool woods in Louisiana.
