Kisatchie is a National Forest therefore you can camp anywhere inside it's boundaries, unlike State WMA lands in where you can only camp in designated primitive camping areas
re: Adding crawfish to supplement a pond
Posted by PVillePandG on 11/2/21 at 2:47 pm
This guy gets it...He answered every one of your concerns correctly.
1) Drain pond if possible..This is done to ensure hardy and tolerant bloodlines of the stocked fish aren't compromised by wild diseases of native species
2) Never stock hybrid species. Any true hybrid will be genetically sterile..
3) Copper Nosed Bluegill - correct
4) Never stock Black or White Crappie..Your pond isn't big enough for them. They are avid spawners and even bigger eaters. Your pond would be stunted if you did
5) Stock according to pre-determined ratios...There are ratios for a reason. They know the number based on hectares of what best promotes trophy growth.
6) If you want variety stock a defined amount of channel cat. Exactly right. Why? Because the eggs of channel cat need running water to hatch. They will not hatch in a pond; therefore, the Channel Cat will not be competing for food.
7) If it were me I would first stock it with mosquito fish (Gambula Rostrata)..allow to sit for a period of time then stock with current state ratios
8) Crawfish also need rising and falling water to reproduce. Females lay eggs when the water has dried above and they are in their small pools below surface in hopes that when it floods she can carry them to the surface waters to grow. If you put crawfish in they would feed your fish once. Waste

re: Sunbream Overpopulation??
Posted by PVillePandG on 4/27/19 at 11:30 pm
You need to do what is called a "soft Seine" to your pond. It is probably the most effective way to determine the overall health of the pond. Seine one corner slowly..when you examine the species in the net there should be equal numbers of small bass to larger bass, and larger Bream to smaller bream. If there are no larger fish it is overpopulated, if no smaller fish, it is either understocked or something like a flood, disease, or spring overturn happened, etc
re: What we need to see against Southeastern

ARE they even good enough to get a good practice in against or help us get better in any way? How and why did we wind up with SLU on our schedule? I just don't see what we get out of this game. There are cup cakes and then there is this. How do the players even get up for a game like this. To have a good practice you have to have the right mindset to where you have a certain concentration level and I just don't see that happening. I just see a sloppy useless practice happening that we get nothing out of and probably causes more harm than good.
Two words for you, genius....Troy...State...

I saw where Cornwell added 2-3 books to the series since I read the 6 or so that started it. The books were great.
re: In ancient warfare was it better to have light cavalry or heavy?

I'm pretty sure Ghengis Khan has already answered this question for you. The light, highly manuverable, Mongolian calvary decimated the heavy cavalry of Russia and Eastern Europe on EVERY occasion they met.
re: Best poison ivy remedy?
Posted by PVillePandG on 7/21/18 at 7:22 pm
From someone who grew up EXTREMELY allergic to poison ivy (contact with it ALWAYS ended up with a visit to the hospital and weeks of miserable itching) I spent my entire life searching for a miracle compound to combat the effects of this vile weed. After searching for 20 years, I have found that NOTHING works quicker, more effective, and completely than Sycamore bark tea. Simply find a Sycamore tree and collect the bark that naturally falls off of the tree around the base. Break apart into one inch sections. Boil about a 1/2 -1 lb batch of bark covered in water. Boil for 10 minutes and allow to cool enough to handle. Place a clean towel in the tea. Squeeze excess water from towel and wrap over the area infected. Allow the damp rag to sit on the infected area about 5-10 minutes. Treat the area about 3 times. You will be simply amazed at how fast this makes poison ivy's symptoms obsolete. The Indians used this treatment for centuries and I kick myself every day for not learning of it sooner
re: Using MDMA to treat PTSD
Posted by PVillePandG on 7/21/18 at 6:23 pm
Shulgin's original research into phenylamines and amphetamines were for their use in treating illnesses of the mind. He had great success in using them to treat and suppress depression, obsessive, compulsive, anxiety, and conditions such as PTSD. If anything, it's good to hear they are opening up and preserving past endeavors prior to the meddling of the federal government

Taboo - Steven Knight - Opinion
Posted by PVillePandG on 6/30/18 at 8:29 pm
Anyone else watch Taboo? After Peaky Blinders, I definitely wanted to see what Steven Knight could do with Tom Hardy after seeing his masterpiece with Alfie Solomon. Only on episode 4/5, but it seems to be starting extremely slow. Masterfully done though, definitely dark. Does it pick up?
re: Bass dying in Pond
Posted by PVillePandG on 6/30/18 at 4:16 pm
What happened was indeed a form of hpoxia called "spring overturn". Its quite common in the wild, but in this case you actually did two things to "force" it to happen unknowingly. One, when you fertilized your pond the change in water color was the direct result of an algal bloom. When these algae died and sunk to the bottom of the pond they created an anaerobic environment as they decomposed. When you started the pumps and circulated the water from the bottom back up to the surface layers of water with little to no oxygen mixed with layers of normal water creating a hypoxic environment for the fish, killing them. In nature, this happens naturally in deep ponds or oxbows and is called "spring overturn" because spring rains create the current needed to circulate the low oxygen water deep up to surface

re: Landscaping question
Posted by PVillePandG on 6/10/18 at 2:42 am
Most people use Blue Leriope, Veragated Leriope, or Daylillies as the plants arranged in a circle around your major landscape points..They are extrememly low maintainance and flowers can be offset just inside of them to accent the circles slope leading up to the tree
re: Panfish ID chart. (Let's get ready to rumble edition)
Posted by PVillePandG on 6/10/18 at 2:33 am
That, or a Rock Bass..but the Goggle Eye we catch on the Sabine and the rock bass we identified in the French Parishes when I used to identify fish for a living looked much different.
re: Panfish ID chart. (Let's get ready to rumble edition)
Posted by PVillePandG on 6/10/18 at 2:28 am
Goggle Eye are not Warmouth. True Warmouth identification only has Warmouths reaching a maximum of a few inches in length. Goggle Eye are Green Sunfish which have a substantially bigger body. I think the confusion comes with 1) the name, as Goggle Eye do indeed have very large mouths and 2) Most pictures of Green Sunfish do a poor job representing the color patterns seen in South Louisiana.
re: Welsh High QB Zack Hayes..
Posted by PVillePandG on 12/26/17 at 7:48 am
I was wondering this same thing. He is a true duel threat QB that could potentially blossom at LSU over time. I think the only negative comments ive heard is his size.
I know his family well too. I wouldnt say he is a Guidry lock if LSU comes snooping lol
Beef42...Bobcat!! Good to see you around

I agree. Grew up in Welsh, and still visit there quite often. I wouldn't say the French culture is too prevalent. It does seem like the farther you get away from the Basin, both West and East, the Cajun culture falls off pretty quick.
