Its embarrassing as a deep cultural people of Louisiana to act like that. Its as bad as the EBT crew at the grocery store in my opinion. Hate to see them pull up at a place. Hope yall can buy them out.

No sir I don't agree. I grew up as a kid when south of i-10 hunting was some of the best in the state. Problem is those people decimated those populations and migrated north to find more gamey areas to destroy, not to find easier hunting. Most don't care, have no or little conservation minded efforts, take advantage of an area that good people try to manage and move on. Seen it from Tensas, Kisatchie, Red dirt, west bay, clear creek, and now they have moved in on Beouf so hard its impossible to find a place with a decent doe population. Against my better conservative judgment and less government approach to life....I do pray for more restrictions on young bucks, bag limit should be 3 statewide with 1 buck 13" spread 3 on one side. Some areas a draw for a second buck tag.

Honestly Ill prob never go back. It was absolute fire in late 90's and up until around 2008-09. Folks that frequented the place mostly all new and respected each other. Great deer population and many heavy hitters. Most of the folks only shot good bucks and let doe and yearlings walk

Since about 2010 it has been overwhelmed by the coonass population. Kill everything they can over hunt areas pushed the bigger deer out onto leases. Its a shell of what it once was. Not worth the trip other than good camping trip anymore. Any public hunting grounds that those people start going too often falls off quick. LDWF needs to better manage those areas when that happens but they don't.

The public was sold a load when they came out with "turkey guns" and folks fell for it. HARD

It was better before choke tubes and modern guns. New tech in chokes blows those old long tom 30-36" barrel guns away on consistency of pellets on target. Kinda took the spark out of it. Last one i went two was separated by 1 pellet over like 3 rounds. Less than 5 pellets separated top 10

I don't like many Remington 700 rifles but I like the rem 700 action in custom rifles. Love the Mod 70's as well. Big fan of Browning rifles. Just the nostalgia and craftsmanship of Browning. Like the older m77 model rugers as well. More of a custom rifle person now that im older. Tikka, savage, newer rugers and 14 other newer brands just miss the mark for me. too much plastic too much lost craftsmanship.

Best Can for new rifle

Going with Ruger Gen II Prairie 7mm PRC. What's your top 2 or 3 best .30 cal suppressors and why?

Omega 300?
Nomad ?
Otter Creek?
Diligent defense?
scent control products by 10000x is the most overrated part of hunting. Second place isn't even close.
this has been done more times than i care to count. if he needs a coastguard plate after the swap hit me up i can help him out with that.
Single model forecasting is garbage, Not gonna happen.
Chancy Frith at K&K taxidermy in Reeves fixed a tine on mine that i broke off twice!!and i have seen several sides he has done. excellent work.
zero fault. just hate to lose a Louisiana boy is all. maybe we can transfer him back.
