Just look around for old pine stumps. The exterior will slough off and center hard part is the good stuff. Cedar works pretty well too.

I’ve killed 3 this year, none made a sound. I’m not sure the why, but I remember them giving a warning. But I haven’t run across one in the timber in a while.

There was a surprising amount of people on campus at 8am and it rained briefly. Almost no rain all day, flower beds bone dry. I’m about to turn on sprinklers and light the pit, prepare for the monsoon.
LSU lakes had a bunch this morning.

That is one of the drawbacks up there. Dumas had a decent Thai place we’d go to every couple weeks, same with the Italian place in Borger.

But it was nice to be able to leave your windows down and truck unlocked when you went to the store. Hell, I couldn’t find my shotgun one morning, I had forgot to take it out the boat. Haven’t been back in BR 3 weeks and already had ice chest stolen out the back of my truck.

When I was in sales out of college, a client was doing a project at the SPR site in hackberry and insisted we go. I felt more comfortable in strip clubs in 3rd world countries than that place.

We have a healthy population on our lease in Bayou Black as well. It’s impressive the amount of snail shells piled up around the islands they frequent.

My favorite as well. I liked the peach ice cream from the dairy store too, but I don’t know if they still make it.

We had 3 yesterday morning, 0 on pm hunt. Crazy thing is we watched a pretty decent amount trickle in Thur afternoon. Everyone around us started flooding their fields, so I expected some loss of birds but damn. Good news is we are seeing a lot more doves.we killed 5 on afternoon hunt teal hunt.

Just planted a box of saffron bulbs and laid out where I’m going to put new beds. I’m really dreading starting this process over from scratch.

I’ve been following Greg around for over 25 years now. He’s about as honest as they come. Hell. I was driving back 12 hours last few years to have him to regular maintenance.

I was going to say the same thing. Saw some butter beans in freezer earlier and thought they’d pair well with the shrimp I’m picking up this weekend.

Since it was day before teal opener, I envisioned OP at camp and an argument broke out at the card table. I don’t see where he ever responded after starting thread. Anyone know how much he lost? :lol:

We should have stayed at camp and hunted this morning instead of heading back to BR to watch that shitty game. Oh well, we’ll be back after them Friday.

They mention pintail by chance? We used to see them pretty regularly when I teal hunted down there.
Friend just sent me a TikTok video of the plane flying over stadium.

Went to a buddy’s crawfish farm near ville platte. We limited, saw way more birds today than we did yesterday. And yes they started piling in about 15 mins before legal. He’s got a lot of woodies and a few spoons and mottled on his place as well. Didn’t see any squealers today, they were there yesterday.

We aren’t going to discuss the misses, his gun was jamming and they were coming in on my weak side. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :lol:
Buddy used one this morning and it jammed damn near every time birds came in. Misfired a couple times too. It’s an old one. Might just be worn out and/or need a thorough cleaning.

Yeah, I missed that one.
