As someone not from LA, but lived there for a short while and married into a LA family, what I don’t understand, and maybe never can, is how did a state with so many natural resources and advantages end up the way it did while Texas, for example, end up differently?

I always come back to corruption, but it’s a two edged sword. There is no other place like Louisiana both good and bad. It can be mind numbingly frustrating, but at same time, it just feels different than anywhere else. It’s not just the food, music, culture, or sense of place, the people are so entertaining. Rambling but sort of on point.

The chene scout boots are a bit pricy,but they are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. I don’t get hot in them and with a wool sock haven’t gotten cold either.

Grew up close to it. Have duck hunted it but never deer. Know people who have deer hunted there with success. Very few big deer, but consistent meat.

I’m about to pull the trigger on the mossburg 20 gauge with the hiloson red dot combo. Seems to be best price point rather than buying each separate.

Everything!
- Is that the area to be?
- are license hard to get for non res?
- how many dekes?
-is opening week best time to go?
-does having side by side make huge difference?
-is private way to go rather than public?

Has anyone done this or have any clue how to start researching either a DIY or self guided situation? Have all the gear, would like to bring my dog. Have only public land hunted the south, and in Idaho for elk.

Ideally would drive up there in October and stay for a week. Sure as hell ain’t no ducks down here

I’m in NE Arkansas and besides opening weekend, it’s been the worst season I can remember. I hunted hard the past 4 days and did not pull the trigger. I had 2 groups of mallards work. In 4 days. Some people are doing well, many are doing bad. I saw the least amount of ducks and geese than I ever had. I personally think this cold weather happened far too late to make them move up north.

NE Arkansas has gotten a big push the last week or so

Buddy has a front winch and rear winch. His reasoning for the rear? When you get stuck, you usually are trying to get out. Not other way around. It’s actually pretty useful. He also uses both of these to secure to trailer during transport. Certainly not a need, but a nice to have

I’ll be in NE ark; curious as well. We’re covered up at the moment; but not sure how this will affect them.
