re: Mineral for deer

Posted by Piebald Panther on 2/12/26 at 9:59 am to
I like lucky buck. It's the only one I've seen them search for. I've poured on stumps and on the ground and they will dig the ground to keep going for the minerals left behind.

Bonus you get a good bucket with a top.
Currently have a six hitch and have had other respectably bred GSPs.

Six hitch dog is the best listener I’ve ever seen in a GSP. She’s just over a year. Super easy training and picked up on the basic commands with ease.

I’m not really all that interested in hunting with her just because of time and we got her to be more of a pet in the family. I have no doubt she could pick up on
whatever hunting I want her to do. Currently I’m just having fun getting her to chase and tree squirrels.
After looking at the picture again, he definitely shot it in the arse and is lucky dogs got on him.

It is somewhat surprising for a "hunting content creator" to release a video shooting a swiftly moving deer in through the brush.
Glad he killed it but that was a sketchy shot to take.

I wonder how much the dogs did to get the deer down vs. his shot

Ground Up solar is relentless. They start at 8:30 am and go one throughout the day.
Had a video come across my Instagram feed of a fight where the rooster attacked the handler while wearing the razor blades. Hit his femoral and bled out in the ring.

I don't see the appeal of that "sport".

Benoit's is my go to as well. Super nice and easy to work with. Very reasonable pricing.

On the ground I get either the ribeye fat mixed in or I bring briskets to mix in. Very accommodating to do a custom grind like that.

Their smoke sausage is the best to cook with and most versatile. Their Italian is great. A little spicy for the kids but mix it with ground and it makes great meatballs.

Bergeron's is too fine. Vine's has it's own unique flavor that's good to eat but doesn't really fit with cooking in other dishes. Plus their standard is 60/40 game to pork and they charge more for 50/50.
There are some distinct belief differences that should be discussed before if y'all marry.

I know these marriages happen all the time in Louisiana especially, but someone once told me on the topic of mixing Roman Catholics with non-Roman Catholics; you got to choose one or the other and both commit to it.



Just back from midwest hunt and looked in the crops of the mallards killed, and it was 50/50 corn to snails.

The ponds they were hitting were full of snails too.

Simple stomach animals like pigs and fowl can handle large carbohydrate loads. I don't see how it would negative impact them physically.

Now migration wise, I do believe they've imprinted on the heavy dry field feeding and have no reason to go any farther to feed than necessary.

Check out the podcast: Hunt Quietly


Matt sounds like pure sour grapes from the hours I've listened to him on his podcast and other interviews.

I get that they think hunting has become a rich man's game, but in the sue happy world we live in. Granting someone permission to hunt is a massive risk for the average landowner.

Writing-off a family member because of hunting philosophies and throwing mud at them every turn is taking it way too far. I don't care how much I love a hobby I'm not going to shite on my brother for doing it a different way. It's not that important in the grand scheme of things.

The piles and smiles guys will get burnt out. The commitment it takes to be a good waterfowl hunter on public land will get to them or they'll get their blind burned down by the hunting here for years guys.
The game has changed. Playing for pride isn’t a thing anymore

haven’t seen anyone operating them within line of sight.


Since there's no standard for this and most of them have a VLOS of quarter mile+, the chances of you seeing who is flying is slim.

I've flown over plenty of deer, and they typically run to the tree line, and it doesn't affect anything long term.

If they are harassing while hunting, that's another story, but if it's just flying over, I don't think any law enforcement is going to do anything.
I've killed geese with Migra #2/4s, heavy metal (hevi-shot's bismuth mix) #3s, BBs and 20 gauge #2. If you're getting decoying geese and taking shots while they're cupped anything #2 and above should knock them down.

The ones I bought off amazon didn't work. I just go a half size bigger than I need in boots and buy good wool socks.
After seeing our first home game against La Tech and our inability to score, I knew we were in trouble.

Hard to believe how bad of an offensive line we have and how bad Nuss regressed.

I called 7-5 after Vandy.
We've got plenty of them at our lease. Still tearing up shite. I wish they would focus on eating pigs.
It has some cayenne in it and a couple other spices.

Add in a small pinch of Louisiana crawfish boil powder and it’s nearly identical.

R Schexnayder & Sons in Erwinville has them for $580 a ton.

I knew the season was shot after La Tech. The writing was on the wall with the offense. They can’t block and Nuss regressed significantly. It’s been watching a slow motion train wreck since September
Kelly's problem was always dropping a game or two that he should've never lost and never putting out a balanced team. Every year there was a glaring deficiency.

FSU 22'
Ole Miss 23'
USC and Florida 24'

Flip those games to wins and he has 3-straight 10-win seasons and a much different feeling around his tenure.
