Back at it in Ouachita Parish
Rained all morning.
Saw horns walking in and hope it’s a good omen for things to come.
I've hunted hard over here the past weeks. I'm seeing bucks and does, but no bucks I want to take yet. The freezer is full so I'm being picky. I had a real pretty 8-point under me 2 mornings ago but he was maybe 2.5 years old so he got a pass. Today I had 5 does come through but nothing following. Yesterday I got to watch a dozen turkeys strut past me but didn't see any deer. Even though I haven't drawn the string back recently, it's been a fun week.

Feed went off but I believe Hamilton Christian won 27-14. St Fred couldn’t do anything after the onside recovery. Hamilton’s QB then ran another TD in. Javon Vital is a really good player.

If I recall, you hunt near us. Has the rut kicked off? I’ll be up next weekend and hoping I’m not too late.
I hunt D’Arbonne, Black Bayou, and Russell Sage. It hasn’t kicked off yet. They are pushing at D’Arbonne but weren’t full chasing. The warm weather messed them up but this week should be good. Black Bayou and Russell Sage are typically a week or so later than D’Arbonne. But the rut is more drawn out I believe here. Now through mid-December should be good.

Awesome buck! Were you way high and started in high shoulder and exited lower belly? Nice shot angled like that Looks like an old swamp donkey. 6pt?
Yes an old swamp donkey 6-point with kind of a Roman nose going on.

He was slightly quartering to me and about to walk off so I put it right shoulder with the exit aimed at lower belly. Ended up getting both lungs. I was roughly 25’ up.

St Fred - 7
Hamilton Christian - 6

Owen O’Neil had a 45 yard run and then capped it off with a 1-yard TD run to give SFHS a 7-0 lead. Hamilton marched down the field and scored but had their XP blocked.

On paper, SFHS shouldn’t have a chance. I hope they beat the odds today.

Morning hunt in Area 2, Ouachita Parish.
Mathews V3x and SEVR 2.0 hybrids.

It was muggy, and the mosquitoes were thick. This boy made it worth it though. 23 yard shot and he died about 60 yards from the shot site. He ran about 150-200 yards but circled back. Blood trail was excellent.




Well, I never used to have trouble posting pics. I’ll figure it out.

She was the closest to an OT 10 IMO. I had a thing for Summer Glau also. Not an OT 10 but an Aftigerfan 10.

St Fred 49, Cedar Creek 0. Running clock 4:38 left in 3rd.
I think the worst part of the joke wasn't that it wasn't funny, it's that he came up with some half-assed attempt to make a joke in such a way that he wouldn't offend anyone. And he still bombed at it. If you're going to make a joke, go all in.

I like how it used to be with comedians when nothing was off the table and they went full throttle. Give me Richard Pryor, George Carlin, etc. making fun of anything and anyone at any time.

There are a few META workers that moved into the Frenchmans Bend neighborhood in Monroe recently. I met them while out golfing. They seem to like their decision to buy houses there.
JFC! If he wouldn’t have made that interception, the receiver was actually in front of the other DB. There’s a chance he could have gotten to it. He made the INT like he’s taught to do. Good for him. Piss off.

And how about that. Good things lead to more good things. 2 INTs now!

Yeah I’ll get down in about an hour and scout for a bit.

Absolutely nothing moving near me so far today. Area 2 public. Been in a tree since 5:30. Acorns are dropping around me. Squirrels seem happy.

Area 2 Public
Sladder and Platform set up in a grove of persimmon that's being hammered
Mathews V3X 33 w/SEVR 2.0 Hybrids

This was a morning hunt for me. I was out of the tree by 10am since it was getting warm. I only had 1 doe come through but I'm after a pretty decent buck and don't want to blow my spot. The buck I'm after comes through this area every 1 to 3 days consistently so I'm hopeful I'll see him soon.

Yesterday I was on private and had 2 big does, a fawn, and a yearling next to me for about 30 minutes. It was my first time hunting that property so I wanted to see what was out there. I practiced drawing the bow back on the does but didn't let an arrow fly. My freezer is still plenty full so I'll hold off on does unless I start running low.

Good luck! I'm going to get a quick evening sit in once I get off work. I'll be hunting on the edge of a 130-acre bean field that butts up against a bayou on the other side. I don't know what is out there yet so I'll treat it as an observation sit and will just be happy to see anything. Once the beans are harvested, I can put some feed out to draw things in. There just isn't any reason to right now with the beans everywhere.
Wow. Seen in Mississippi earlier today. Now in Guste Island. Crazy that it’s the exact same pose and landscape. Must be real.

You're probably right. I’ve only used 3 so far and was at about 20 with the aiders. I didn’t measure it though, but I was where I wanted to be so no reason to go higher.
