It is what it is....I am just happy I have a place to hunt without having to resort to public land. Our dues are very cheap too so I can't complain.

and that is why I hunt Texas. I understand that hunting with dogs has deep cultural roots but it does nothing for management of the deer herd in the state. LA has too many outlaws. I know one fella who hunts Clear Creek and also Jackson Bienville, and maybe 1-2 other public lands and he, his wife, and his 2 boys shot over 20 deer last year (according to a very reliable source). You say sure that is under the limit of 24. But wait, the dad shoots most all of them and uses the tags of his wife/kids. Not very ethical, IMO.

You guys have to remember, not everyone gives a ****tt about management. I would love to kill a biggun, but am still very happy to shoot a basket rack. There are too many places that try to MANAGE properties that just don't have the potential.

They don't have the potential because everyone in south LA shoots anything that walks. You are never gonna kill a biggun if u keep killing the 2 year old bucks. If u manage the deer, u will have some nice ones. Every place I hunt is 8 point or better and if u shoot it, u plan on mounting it. I wont shoot a buck unless its 130+". If i want some meat, i got plenty of does to shoot. Been doing it since i began hunting and we have harvested some very nice bucks. Wish everyone would manage. But to each his own.

Exactly. St. Landry parish probably has some of the best genetics in the state.(250+ lb bucks/very massive racks) But anything 4 point or better gets blasted. That's why I drive an hour from home to St. Francisville where myself and all neighboring properties are on the same page with management. We don't kill big deer just b/c of genetics. It's b/c we "manage." I know if I pass a nice 2-3 y/o buck, that my neighbor isn't going to shoot him. And I somewhat understand some people's logic saying that if they pass it their neighbor's will shoot it, but to say that the deer in your area just don't have the "potential" and that's y u shoot anything that walks is bull. Gasper i see you are from Opelousas. I am originally from Opelousas as well. Where do u hunt?

Yeh 6 is better than 4. And I am not trying to knock anyone that shoots small bucks. Like I said, to each his own. I have just been deer hunting for so long and have been fortunate enough to shoot prob 80-90 deer in my lifetime that shooting the small ones just doesn't do it for me. I would rather shoot them with my video camera or let him grow a little so my daughter or nephew can kill him. AND I really don't like to clean them anymore. When I was a kid, my buddy and I's dads would bring clients/friends hunting. Whatever they shot they would just pile up at the skinning rack and he and I would be skinning and gutting deer all day long.

Specktator yalls management is awesome. I was lucky enough to go on a hunt with HB last year when Blake shot his big deer. I personally watched and let deer pass that I would have shot on any of the properties I hunt.

it is nice to know you can enjoy seeing deer and knowing if you let them pass others in your group will also, when we first got our lease we saw alot of 8 pointers and we have a 8 point or better, now we dont see so many 8 pointers but see several 10+ pointers that have very good size
