I took vacation Thanksgiving week to catch up on some chores and, of course, make a few duck hunts! I went out with my son Monday (Nov. 23), and the very high tide from the Saturday storm put water over the transom of my boat.[…]
I sit here on Thanksgiving morning giving thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ for all he has blessed me with: my precious family, friends, job and country.[…]
I mentioned that I would be hunting the hardwood drains in Clinton during the primitive season because we had found a fairly decent acorn crop – white oaks, water oaks and cherry bark acorns.[…]
Units capable of doing practically everything are available, yet some boaters still prefer single-purpose electronics. Is there a “best” solution?[…]
The Louisiana hunting pamphlet clearly states that even though it is now legal to leave your stand in the woods in a non-hunting position, this cannot be used to “save” a hunting spot.[…]
Baton Rouge’s Patrick Kelleher is a father, husband, bowhunter and (for those who know him) the luckiest guy in the world.[…]
I met Brian McAdam for the first time in the dark hours of a cold morning on Paris Road in Chalmette. We agreed to meet there so I could hop in his truck and make a fishing trip with him and one of his long-time fishing buddies, Wayne Lobell.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I’m hoping to buy a houseboat in Lafitte, close to Joe’s Landing, across from Cochiara’s Marina, and moving it to Lake Maurpas close to the Amite River.[…]
The words “I didn’t think that anything so ugly could ever win an award” really caught my attention.[…]
Kudos to the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.[…]
I like fishing in December with football games on TV, waterfowl and deer seasons taking place and most of Louisiana’s lakes clear of fishermen.[…]
Dave Moreland holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in biology, and spent 30 years working with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. After serving 15 years in the field, Moreland became the state’s Deer Program manager in 1992.[…]
Think of this brand-new jig as a bass fisherman’s dream version of an all-terrain vehicle. It’s an artificial lure that acts alive and apparently looks delicious to bass, fished shallow or deep, around rocks or wood and anything else they tend to hang out on.[…]
Well, I think we lucked out in the coastal marshes this year. Comparing the marsh to last years’ dead zone, I would say we’re way ahead. Last week, as Hurricane Ida nosed its way into the Gulf, I was still celebrating the great hunt that I had been on with Paul and Mike Woods during the youth weekend.[…]
Well, after a very good last couple of weeks of October, the deer movement has gone to close to non-existent. My hunting buddies from all over Louisiana and Mississippi and I were having great hunts from Oct.15 through around the first week of November, and all of a sudden it turned off like a light switch.[…]
I am the youngest of four children, and my dad was not a spring chicken when I was born. As a result, most of our quality time at home didn’t involve a ball and glove, it was more like a rake and a wrench.[…]
