Remote canoe launch locations in Pearl River WMA
How would I get to English Bayou? Satellite shows two small boat launches where English Bayou meets the Pearl. Hunt Stand says that property is owned by "USA" which I'm sure means it's NASA's land. That suggests those two small launches on the east side of the Pearl are not public assess. Would... -
Remote canoe launch locations in Pearl River WMA
I want to hunt Pearl this weekend by canoe. Paddles and all. I'm looking for a remote small launch sufficient for a canoe captained by a dork with a paddle, a rifle and a 2WD truck. Has to be a small waterway so the wind doesn't blow me all around. Yesterday I scouted a small launch off of... -
Hog hunting
Emperor, thanks for the kind words! Pretty accurate too... I showed up to this forum as green as a hog hunter could be. Learned a ton here. Posted a ton of tips to help others as I learned hands on in the field. Lots of success murdering hogs in Pearl and filling up the freezers. I'm going to... -
Hog hunting near Covington
I've trapped hogs in both Big Branch and Fontainbleau and there is no shortage of them. Last time I was in Big Branch it was bow only for hunt. I didn't hunt it, but I sure saw opportunities when I trapped there. My recommendation would be a climber anywhere near the water. They prescribe burn... -
Ground Blind, Ladder Stand or Climber?
Coming into my 2nd season of whitetail hunting, I'm setting up some nice 25' tall ladder stands at the camp. They are a pain to install (I secure a snatch block high in a tree and use my side by side winch to hoist it in place) but they are affordable and really tall. 25' ladder stands... -
favorite milsurp hunting camo!
I'm rethinking my camo. The last few years I've used a lightweight 3D leaf camo ghillie suit similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=LYGLO+Mens+3D+Lightweight+Hooded+Camouflage+Ghillie+Breathable+Hunting+Suit But it's been nagging me... -
Pearl River WMA Oct 1-5
Also consider a neck shot for either the spine or throat. My favorite location is shooting for the inner ear, but the margin or error is like +/- 1/4" which on a moving animal is very tough. The spine is just above the throat and combined I'd guess the target zone is about 3" long, so from dead... -
Pearl River WMA Oct 1-5
Pearl is 40 minutes from my house and 30 from my office. Tough to beat that. I sold my boat so I stalk only now. Had great results off of the water (Perch Lake/Pond is one spot I don't mind giving away, but be kind to the duck hunters). One time, off of a waterway, about 30 yards off of the... -
Pearl River WMA Oct 1-5
If I'm reading the regulations correctly, and I'd like to think that I am, it looks like October 1-5 in Pearl River WMA is bow season only. Small game (which means 1000 rounds going off all day long) begins Saturday, October 6. I'm new to bow hunting, but it looks like Oct 1-5 should be silent... -
waterfowl in Sherburne?
Yeah... I've got a few tips... Use the largest possible legal caliber weapon with a fast rate of fire of multiple rounds. During small game I use a .22 magnum semi-auto with 10 round magazines. During rifle season I use a .444 lever action with 5 round capacity. Plus a 10mm Glock sidearm if... -
Trapping Hogs -- a few cool pics
I can't say I blame them. I mean, really, what else is there to do when trapped in a 35' diameter trap? Steal some corn, feed the babies, make some babies, and urinate in the face of your captor's camera. Sounds about right to me. -
Trapping Hogs -- a few cool pics
Was lucky enough to trap 9 hogs a few weeks ago in Tangipahoa. Got some nice pics and thought you might enjoy a gander. [/url][/IMG] [/url][/IMG] [/url][/IMG] [/url][/IMG] -
Favorite deer rifle caliber?
whbonney26, not to get off of subject... but I'd love to have that deer jerky recipe. Do you use the flank on the side of the ribs? How do you slice and season the meat? I make beef jerky regularly for my kids from store bought meat but have not tried venison yet. Would like to save the... -
Favorite deer rifle caliber?
The .270WSM has my attention. I know gun/bullet weight/grain matter a lot, but the .270WSM seems to be a very flat shooter with a relatively low felt recoil. On paper, it seems to bring the velocity, power and relatively reduced recoil. Destructive, accurate and easier on a damaged shoulder... -
Favorite deer rifle caliber?
My hunting arsenal was designed for hog stalking on public land. So after trying a few options I wound up with my fav hog stalking rifle during small game season... a semi-auto Magnum Research .22 magnum. Absolutely lethal head shot weapon accurate as far as I could typically see with minimal... -
Last Hunt of My First Deer Season
Yup, I've already planned that. Found a 200# feeder on sale at WalMart. Am thinking of programming the feeder for 7 seconds each morning which should give me about 1.5#s of corn on the ground daily for 130 days. So I could fill it up soon and start establishing feeding habits, then I just have... -
Last Hunt of My First Deer Season
I went with the red option, then switched to yellow when I needed a more comfortable spot. Saw nothing and left that third Zone 4 either sex tag unfilled. Had my trusted CVA .444 crack barrel hog-murderer at the ready. Was a great season all around. Learned lots, put some deer in the freezer... -
Last Hunt of My First Deer Season
Thanks to everyone who has helped me learn white tail hunting this season. It's been great. Converting from hog stalking on public land to white tail tree hunting on private land lease has been a blast with a large learning curve. I have been saving my last tag for a trophy buck and have one... -

Hunting wind speed
I took a vacation day the other day to spend it in a blind all day. It wasn't long before I realized I had picked the wrong day to hunt. There was falling temperature and rising pressure (which I've been told is a nice combination), and the wind direction was steady all day. What I neglected to...
