re: Weather Apps

Weather Underground app is pretty good. Their wind direction, rainfall arrival times, etc are generally pretty close. It's the only one I use.

Everyone I know with a pig brig trap says they have problems getting friends to answer their phones after a while. Turns out there is a such thing as people getting tired of being given free food.

re: Wood burning stoves
Posted by DaFreakinFarmer on 9/16/26 at 7:41 am to Gauxt
I bought my stove from tractor supply online. Can't remember what brand. It's supposed to heat 2000sf, but my house is 2800 and I haven't ran the heater in several winters. The stove does plenty of heating. I don't think you'll notice a difference in stoves at a camp. Just find one that fits your space.
Also, stove pipe is expensive. Get it out of the house the shortest distance possible.

re: Remington 1100 matched pair .410 and 28 gauge
Posted by DaFreakinFarmer on 9/4/26 at 7:30 am to Dylan
Each one individually is probably $2k or so. The value of a matched pair to me is pretty arbitrary. I wouldn't buy them as a pure investment. There are better ways to make money if you are dedicated to coughing up $4-5k.
That being said, I'm jealous as hell of people with either of those guns and would love to have one or both.

You can just look at the trim color on houses. Any houses on the street with purple, blue, or pink trim and you shouldn't jog there.
re: $20,000 Reward Offered for Information on Bald Eagle Shooting in Vermilion Parish
Posted by DaFreakinFarmer on 8/27/26 at 1:46 pm to duckblind56
Raptors are hell on turkeys and quail. In the past 50 years there's been a big increase in raptors. I'm not advocating for shooting an eagle, but there's a balance somewhere that should be sought after. You can't go outside anymore and not see a hawk.

Or the more likely reason is you just shot better the second day, as is the case with everyone.
re: Days Smokehouse - Wild Game Processing
Posted by DaFreakinFarmer on 8/13/26 at 7:57 am to jlong4635
As others have said, they produce a better than average product for a premium price. I've heard rumors (some from people that worked there) that you don't necessarily get back the meat that you drop off. Like someone said earlier, full rut meat processing does a good job and is 10 min from days. You get your own meat back there, as they aren't as big of an operation as Days.
While at Days, get some chicken cracklins and a smoked pork chop. Best one around.

My 4 year old can identify that snake. Adults that don't know that one drive me nuts.

If you are a weight watcher, you can also use a large trash bag ripped open on one end.
I bring 2 contractor garbage bags. Use one to lay meat on and debone. Put the meat in the other. Then take the one the meat was on, turn inside out, and use to double-bag the meat bag. Keeps your pack clean that way.

If I was you I'd just learn how to clean a deer in the woods so you can just pack the meat out. Sounds like you are hunting by yourself. It will be a lot easier getting back to the truck with meat in your pack versus dragging all night. You should be able to take a deer from his last breath to packed up ready to roll within an hour (for a novice). Eventually you'll have it down to a 20-30 min process. That's less time than it would take you to walk back to the truck and get your cart.
re: Do you use a climbing stand
Posted by DaFreakinFarmer on 7/26/26 at 11:40 am to LChama
Whichever climber you choose, you'll kill a lot more deer out of a climber or saddle versus fixed ladder stands.

Just cook double of whatever you think you need and buy a bag of ziplocks to send leftovers home with people. That's what a normal person would do.

Ride up and down the nearest river until you see some growing in someone's yard. I used to have a bunch where I lived and once a year or so someone would stop and ask if they could cut some. I always let them and I'm sure most people would.

You box stand sitting, log sitting, creeping, or hanging off the side of the tree in a sling? You hunting from daylight to dark? Or are you one of those guys that rides a SxS 400 yards before daylight to his box stand, sits until 8am, heads back to camp for breakfast, back at the camp eating biscuits and drinking beer watching gameday until 4pm when you go to the closest box stand with cell service to watch the end of the ballgames on your phone while watching a field with a corn feeder.
Whichever one it is, any dang bag will hold items, they'll all leak if it rains too much, and they'll be between $20 and $500. You

re: Contemplating job offer in BR - Should I move from Covington to Prairieville?

I've driven over an hour each way to work for 20 years so that we could live where we wanted to live and my kids could go to the schools we wanted them in. Do what you have to do. Being a dad/husband is about sacrificing yourself for the betterment of the family.
Or don't, and just move your family to make it easier on you.
