New deer stand/trailer is awesome tool

Two heads are better than one. And when the Louisiana Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation and Plum Creek put their heads together to raise the bar on deer hunting for Wounded Warriors and other hunters with physical challenges, it proved that saying is true. The two groups teamed up to build two handicap … Continue reading →

Shining through

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”  — Matthew 5:16

A river run with Brett Preuett

They say a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. While, for the most part, that may be true, Brett Preuett of Monroe says it isn’t as simple as it seems. “If I have a bad day fishing, it’s pretty much a bad day at work, too,” says the young man … Continue reading →

Deer crazies….No, they didn’t

Bow season has already started and the gun hunters are getting antsy to have their shot at the deer.  Antsy, by the way, is a term that denotes you can’t sit still any longer because you feel like you’ve got ants in your pants.

But we don’t have to catch fish to have fun. Like our … Continue reading →

Great numbers!

Here are some great numbers from the Union Parish outdoors:  Josh Harris said the final tally is in and the recent Scott Bullitt Big Bass Tournament on D’Arbonne netted almost $30,000 to go to the fund to help our injured wildlife enforcement agent with his rehabilitation expenses. That’s just awesome. Money came from fishermen, sponsors, … Continue reading →

Glad to partner with Driftmaster!

The more I explore the “new world” of crappie fishing, the more I realize you can’t just crappie fish with one pole in your hand any more. Oh sure, you could still catch crappie with a cane pole and shiners. But it’s like trying to look somebody up on Facebook using a Tandy 1000 computer … Continue reading →
