Week 9 | A Change In Schedule Didn’t Stop The Bucks
As the Thanksgiving rush walked out the door two Thursdays ago, I told Justin Bailey “That was exhausting”. To score upwards of 15 deer in less than three hours, you have to really hustle. Coming up on this week, I was expecting a few and honestly, I figured they’d be on the average side of … Continue reading
Week 8 | Thanksgiving Was A Good Time To Hunt
I really hate to skip the scoring on Thanksgiving and week but it makes for one heck of a follow up week! We scored so many deer that a limit had to be put on them. All in all it was a great night spent with some great. I got to see two people I … Continue reading
Setting The Hook on Monster Crappie
With me being busy with deer season (both killing and scoring), I knew where to go for crappie fishing content; Brittney Naron with Set the Hook Crappie Ventures. Brittany spends more time on the water than just about anyone I know, and she’s got amazing social media content, so it was just a given that … Continue reading
What’s With The Moon? Using The Lunar Cycle to Kill Big Bucks
North Louisiana and South Arkansas are home to some great outdoorsmen (and women) but one local resident started catching my attention about three years ago. Adam Sanderson is a fireman, a business owner, and an up and coming YouTuber who lives in West Monroe, La. When I first met him in person, he looked like … Continue reading
Week 7 | The Great Bucks Continue To Impress at K&M
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this contest it’s that the deer really roll in the week before Thanksgiving. Last night alone we scored 15 deer with a total of 2,111 3/8”, which is an average of 140 6/8”. So far this year we have scored 15 deer from Union Parish that are 130” … Continue reading
Big Buck’s Taking Over At K&M
This is the fourth season that I’ve scored bucks at K&M and I believe this may be the most inches of antler at this point in the contest that I’ve ever seen. A deer that goes over 160 inches is rare and usually isn’t seen until later in November but Richard McLelland walked in K&M, … Continue reading
Crappie Tagging Taking Off on Darbonne
You may see something a little fishy on crappie caught on Lake Darbonne these days. Crappie Forever along with State Representative Chris Turner have started a crappie tagging program on the lake and they need our help. “We are tagging primarily 9 to 12 inch fish. Our goal is to monitor growth rates and movement … Continue reading
The Buck Contest at K&M is Heating Up
This past Thursday night was full of excitement and talk. Daniel Colvin posted a kill of a great deer and many wondered if the score would be as big as the deer looked in the pictures. After the math was done, the tale of the tape proved that pictures don’t lie and the Colvin buck … Continue reading
