Great story! I wish I had something similar but no dice. Haven’t heard a gobble in quite some time at our place. No bird for me this year!

This morning I called in three Jakes that seemed to have the zoomies for about 5 minutes. They were playfully chasing each other around and bouncing in the air. Quite entertaining

Struggling to get on birds in Pearl River County. Heard one close on opening day but messed up my set up.
Have heard a few since then but nothing close and nothing firing off past fly down time, except for one the second Sunday of the season. He was firing off for an hour or so but was far.
Have heard a few shots close by.
We did shoot 3 birds off this property last year by this week. There were plenty of birds around in February and early March but they’ve disappeared. We haven’t pressured them too hard unless the locals are hopping property lines.
Trying my luck in Tangipahoa/Washington Parish opening day.

Bringing this back because I want some recommendations on posts.

For a 3-4 rail fence with woven wire, do you need to concrete all the post? I feel like that’s overkill and pricey for 1.5 acres. I get maybe where there is a gate where the added stability is warranted.
Will tamping it keep the post straight and the wire up (assuming the corners/ends are braced)?

We are in the Covington/Abita/Waldheim area if that helps to answer with soil and weather conditions.

That is nice! It's something I definitely can manage, but finding the time will be issue.

My wife and I are wanting to fence our ~11 acres in St. Tammany.
We want the front of the property to "look nice" and be practical for future livestock (at a small scale sheep/goats/cattle) and/or to deter other dogs/coyotes.
We are thinking wooden fence with woven wire. The whole area is about 1.5 acres or so. The rest of the property I'll probably do myself with T post and wooden post with the woven wire. That would be done in sections.

For the small "nicer" section, does anyone have any recommendations on fencing contractors in my area?
I do have access to a tractor and auger, so I potentially could do it myself and save a bunch of money. However, a contractor could get it done a whole lot quicker.

EDIT: also open to ideas and seeing what everyone else has done for similar scenarios.

My dad was a big rabbit hunter in the 80-90s. He says most of the places they hunted are not accessible (leased, etc) or don’t exist anymore due to land loss or developments. Sometimes they’d take the boat out and island hop in the marshes.
I went a few times as a kid and always loved it. Now it’s very rare to go. One of his old hunting buddies still does field trials and we go hunt with him.

I have hunted our place in Poplarville most of my life. We are west of town.
Deer are small and very jumpy, but there are a few big bucks around, just at 3 am or if you're lucky to see them chasing.
We burn, so turkey numbers have been great for us. We shot 3 toms last season on 175 acres, and there were a few left in addition to jakes. We are even seeing/hearing a few coveys of Bobwhites.
We used to have a lot of hogs, but we don't see them as often. Part of me believes its due to us burning. I'm really not sure. I just know that around the time we started burning, 6-8 years or so, until now, hogs are not as plentiful.

I was actually in this exact same scenario. Ordered the otter creek titanium this week. I’ll mostly use it on my 15-22 rifle but also Walther p22.
Waiting game now

Where would one find a tree to buy? I'd like to plant one at our home on the northshore. Would be great to have bait for kids to use.

Global entry has been this way for a few years now.

Its already public land so the landowner has the same right to access as everyone else.

I understand that, but would they have a right to or have the government build a road or path to their property? Assuming it was land locked.
