re: Worms in fish???

Not sure if still the case but trout caught in lake pontchartrain and in the marsh would not have worms but trout caught on the outside in Breton and cocodrie would have worms. Seemed like fish caught in fresher waters were clean and those caught in saltier water had worms. Was a year of low river...

Bring a cooler packed with clothes with duffel bag. Check clothes in duffle and pack meat in cooler upon return, freezing or cooler packs work but I have also put ziplocks with ice and duck taped and said they were sealed ice packs inside. Last couple trips no one even asks what’s inside....

I put a Trijicon accupoint 3x9x40 on my sons Tikka 3 light and we love it. Great target accusation with the naturally lighted reticle. Also have same on my Mauser M12 in 308....

That said could not find ammo and they are still scarce and I would get the 308. I shoot the Mauser M12 in 308, it’s worth the extra money and is...
