Our group has killed 2 so far and shot at another.

You think that’s bad, go check the liquor section at Costco. Not a single bottle of Kirklands vodka or bourbon to be found.
I don’t know which ones I hate the most. Probably the Wegovi ones. But I love the “don’t become your parents” one’s.

I don’t think deer hunting is that big of a problem. I believe it was duck hunting that had damaged my ears the most. You’ve got guys shooting on both sides above your head. Mine ring constantly now and I have about 50% loss in my left ear. And crowded places like restaurants and the singing in church are terrible.

If you're going to eat a well-done steak, might as well do it up right.

Lots of extra screws in the studs to hang stuff on.

Simsboro, La. 60° and calm
Was gonna wait and just drive to our spot in Caddo in the morning but reading the IST made me leave work and drive up to get an hour and a half in the stand and camp in the woods.
.270 on a skinny pipeline.

Eta: had a little kitty cat at my stand not long before we got here.

I read a lot on TD to make up for it.
Kind of sad, but it's been years since I read a book.
Like BLAZE said, I do hunt up that way. But once dog season starts I don't spend much time in that area. My son watched 2 good bucks chasing the same doe, making scrapes, and grunting at each other on Nov. 18th and killed a good 8 point. Usually, the peak time seems to be anytime from the week before Thanksgiving through the week after.

From what I've read, the disparity in peak rut dates around Louisiana has to do with where the deer were originally from that were reintroduced in the state in the 1960's.

A lot of it also has to do with buck to doe ratio. You may already know, but an unbred doe will come into estrous every 28 days. If you have does that don't get bred on the first go round, the bucks will be chasing on the next cycle.

Here's a pretty good read from Miss State explaining a lot of it.

The schools were good for a reason and now they’re not. Wonder what changed?

My dad built us a fort when I was about 5, similar to a big box stand before boxstands were a thing.

There was one piece of wood under the tree on Christmas morning. Went outside and the rest of the wood to build the fort was out there. I think they told us it was too big to bring in the house so Daddy would have to put it together outside.
