Primitive is a lottery now?

Last time I hunted there was for a primitive weekend and it was a free for all. Said I would never go back for a gun hunt there. Lots of humans.

I used to make a primitive camping trip there every fall break during college to bow hunt. It’s some of the most beautiful woods in Louisiana in my opinion. I always found there was a lot of sign around the rut, more than I was ever used to seeing in south Louisiana.

To answer your questions: yes there are bears. I’ve seen a couple while hunting, one walking back from my stand. They won’t mess with you. Pack a pistol if you need the added confidence, but I never did.

I can’t remember mosquitos ever being bad.

Palmetto’s; some woods don’t have many other areas have a lot. It’s such a big reserve, you can find what you like and adapt. The places I’ve hunted were never anything like a Thistlethwaite level of palmetto coverage.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to pack hip boots, it really depends on how much rain they have received. There are some bottoms and slews that can hold water.

The gun hunts are too overcrowded for me, but I wish you luck. Don’t sleep on the CRP fields, be mobile. Id suggest bringing a pirogue / kayak. There are some areas you need to cross bayous to access.

Our club is looking at purchasing a few box blinds to put up for our young hunters who are just getting into hunting with the parents.

Question: do the plastic roto-molded style blinds get to hot for Louisiana hunting? Do they last? Any experience with the below blinds? Are theY water/bug proof?

Trying to stay below $1500/ea. Do not need bases, only the blind.

Options considering are:
a) ~$600 field and stream multi-piece, bolt together design (cheapest)
b) RAM 650, two piece design
c) Uncle dans “The hitman V3”; single mold no assembly required
d) Sportsman’s condo bow 72in.
e) Maverick 6 shooter

Agree. I like the idea of having a few WMA’s with tighter guidelines to allow bucks to grow.

Horns are just an easy, no questions asked, way to implement and enforce a form of kill restrictions. We all know the number of points on a deers horns doesn’t accurately represent its age.

Looks like I was late to the party. Tried them all, none are valid.

Good luck, it’s going to be cold!

where are you located?

merci beaucoup!

Any experience with these muddy camera’s and service? Seems like a good deal. MUDDY CAMERAS

Do you have spray foam under the roof sheathing in your attic?

Certainteed and OC are the only companies I know that will warranty their products with spray foam under the roof deck.

As far as which is better, each of the three mentioned are good. I’d add Malarkey as another great option. Get the cheapest, best looking, impact level 4 of the bunch

Yeah your right, but thats what an extra $30 sheet? Save the scraps in the corner of your new shed for the next project or throw them out. (work bench, ramp, shelving, etc.)

Waste calculations factor into every aspect of a build. If you would see the cut offs we throw away on job sites sometimes it would make your stomach hurt haha
