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... -
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... -
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... -
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?
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
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... -
Rut in St. Tammany or Tangipohoa?
This is my first serious deer season to hunt, so I'm still learning. I'm trying to figure out if rut has started in St. Tammany or Tangipohoa parishes. I've got cameras in St. Tammany on private property and so far I've not seen signs that fawns have separated from their mothers nor that... -
New Deer Hunter Question
I'm progressing from hog murderer to deer bow hunter. I've never killed anything with my Matthews compound bow (found a deal on eBay) but it's not for lack of trying. I'm learning as I go in my first bow season. So I've got a question re: which morning would be best to hunt this coming weekend... -
Canoe Hog Hunting in Pearl River WMA ?
I've spent the last five or so years at Pearl hunting hogs with mostly good results. Last year (2016-17) was terrible. In general, I've learned that the hogs are where the people are not. Last year on opening day I brought my bow (new to bow hunting). Missed a 200# boar just before day break... -
John Deere 3039R vs. Kubota L4060
I'm looking to purchase a midsized compact utility tractor to clear woods, build roads, dig ditches, create food plots, mow, etc. on 50 acres. Have quotes from JD & Kubota for roughly the same tractor (about 40HP 4WD). Purchasing with loader, backhoe, box blade and bush hog. The Kubota has a bit...- Hoggin

Coyote Hunting/Trapping
I've been asked to clear coyotes from a 60 acre tract of land. It's next to a few thousand acres of timberland where the coyotes are coming from. Supposedly they are decimating the deer population. I camped out there this past Friday night and, yup, coyotes were howling and circling my camp all... -
Homemade Hog Box Traps -- trigger question
So I learned how to weld for Christmas. My puddle control isn't what it should be but the welds will hold. Was fun building this 4x4x8 box last weekend. I wanted it taller than most box traps as I've seen on camera a number of larger boars not enter the 2.5-3' high boxes. No need for a bottom on... -
Custom Rifle Sling
This turned out to be a really nice product so I wanted to let you know about it. I received exactly what I ordered and expected. Lever, the man in charge, tends to be a bit backlogged (and takes some time off for Elk bow season), so you may not be able to order anything for Christmas, but... -
Climber recommendation for a rookie climber
So I'm thinking about getting a climber and wanted to get the input of experienced climbers. I've never done it so I'd like a climber that is easy to learn and safe. Possibly add a Sherpa system to it (http://sherpahunting.com/index.html) to turn it into a game cart. Thanks in advance. -
Researching a high energy hog rifle
Much of my hog hunting is on public land with a .22 magnum (Magnum Research carbon fiber bull barrel) during small game season. The .22 mag drops a hog on the spot with most head shots. During primitive season I use my CVA .444 crack barrel. Possibly my favorite hog gun for the price ($400... -
Hog Leg Traps n Snares
Over the past five weeks I've tried three different leg traps/snares with mixed results and wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. I have two Hold-A-Hog leg traps with snares. At $100 each I was hoping I would not like them and I guessed correctly. They are a serious pain to set for a... -
Hog Leg Traps & Snares
I've never trapped before but am about to start trying. I've purchased two Hold-a-Hog #4 offset leg traps which throw up a spring loaded leg snare when activated. These are designed for leg trapping/snaring hogs and seem nice, but at $100 each I'm not creating an inventory of them. I purchased a... -
2015-2016 Hog Takes in PR WMA
For the amount of trips I made to PRWMA this 2015-2016 hunting season the amount of hogs I took was embarrassingly low. I didn't see the amount of trails in 15-16 that I saw in 14-15 and chalked that up to the lack of early freezes (plenty of vegetation = hogs not moving a lot at night or...
