Dear Capt. Paul:
I hunt public property, and use my Garmin Oregon 450t constantly. I have the map provided from the management area pamphlet overlayed on my unit, but only main trails are shown on it.[…]
Gazing from atop the Empire Bridge in southern Plaquemines Parish, one can see literally thousands of white PVC pipes sticking up from atop oyster beds.[…]
You have to hand it to Steve Burnum and his 16-year-old son Leyton for sticking with the mission of downing a big buck they’d known about since 2008.[…]
My brother joined me for a few days of hunting Red River Wildlife Management Area during the bucks-only season. Rain was in the forecast, but he drove up early for a morning hunt, and we decided to tough it out in our ground blinds.[…]
I took some time off of work to enjoy the great outdoors. I was rewarded with some very exciting hunts, seeing both deer and hogs. I saw a nice buck on an afternoon hunt, but despite drawing back twice could not get an open shot.[…]
A newly launched program requires all recreational offshore anglers to be permitted to catch tuna, billfish, swordfish, amberjacks, groupers and snappers — and to report all catches of yellowfin tuna, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries announced last week.[…]
Miller Holt may never kill another buck in his life. No matter — the 6-year-old has already accomplished over a five-week period what few deer hunters ever have the opportunity to do in a lifetime.

The rhythmic whistle of mallard wings slicing bits of air from the sky could be heard as they nervously circled high above.[…]
The G-Form Extreme Hydro Sleeve delivers flawless protection against even the worse of drops and has a water-resistant exterior that guarantees a safeguard if caught in the rain.[…]
According to the Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation, the Biloxi Marsh is an estuary network of 210,000 acres of coastal wetlands. That network was crushed by Katrina, and battered and bruised by countless hurricanes and tropical storms before and since.[…]
Gail “Bucky” McDavid of Carencro enjoys hunting during the diverse rutting periods of Louisiana.[…]
Change is inevitable in coastal marsh.
The tide gives when it rises and takes away when it falls.
Land piles up in some places while washing away in others.
Fish that you couldn’t stop from biting one day cease to exist the next.
Nowhere is this change more evident than in The Pen. One of the most-famous fishing holes in all of Southeast Louisiana, this Lafitte hotspot once wasn’t even a lake.[…]
Having a bit of a game plan provides an easier pathway to locating and catching fish at The Pen during the winter.[…]
Many things may have changed about The Pen over the years, but the one thing that has remained the same is how conveniently located it is.[…]
Being such a large lake to fish, The Pen can be somewhat intimidating for anglers who have never fished it before. The question of where to start can lead to second-guessing if the fish don’t immediately respond.[…]
The last thing that comes to most people’s minds when thinking about Caney Lake is a chatter bait. Kenny Covington isn’t most people. He is a bassaholic who isn’t afraid to buck conventional wisdom.[…]
