re: Open fields doctrine is being challenged in Louisiana

"Yes, liberals are well known for wanting the power of government curtailed..."
They used to be. Classical liberalism included all of the bill of rights and cherished individual freedom. Classical liberalism is dead. Now we live in an upside down world where being liberal means you want a nanny...
re: Snake Identification
Posted by Wavefan on 3/13/24 at 3:51 pm
Water snake - not venomous but if it is like most of its relatives calling it harmless is not accurate either. They will draw blood with repeated bites and thrash and poop like crazy most of the time if you try to handle....
Toledo bend mid April
Posted by Wavefan on 3/13/24 at 12:22 am
Going to be at a resort near many on Louisiana side mid April for a conference. Nice place but no guide service or boats on site. Golf course but don’t care. Lifetime bass chaser and sac chaser but never fished Toledo Bend. Options include trailering my own small skiff (not favored), guided trip, or...
re: Alabama Turkey hunting thread
Posted by Wavefan on 2/29/24 at 10:54 pm
I hunt near the red hills wma and would be interested in hearing how hunters on the wma fare. Is it crowded? Lots of birds? That region is turkey central. Hope it’s not like public land hunting in Louisiana where the guns often outnumber the gobblers. ...
re: Alabama Turkey hunting thread
Posted by Wavefan on 2/27/24 at 12:35 pm
My favorite time used to be the March 15 opener and the next few days. Usually cool and the woods are open and no bugs. Also always seemed to gobble well then in Monroe County. But if moving the opener back 10 days helps the population then okay. Problem is some of the locals kind of set their own s...
re: What species of fish ?
Posted by Wavefan on 1/24/24 at 11:16 pm
Can’t hold a candle to specks but if filleted and blood line removed and fried and eaten the same day as caught blues are okay. Once frozen they are inedible. The fresher the better. Even sitting in an ice chest all day or putting the fillets in the fridge overnight hurts the flavor. ...
re: Warm front hits right as rut starts in South Alabama
Posted by Wavefan on 1/21/24 at 10:43 pm
My experience in Monroe County is once they get started they don’t stop on account of weather- be it warm, cold, hot, rainy, whatever. Can make for a miserable day for us in the woods but the bucks don’t care. ...

re: Morning walk to your stand
Posted by Wavefan on 1/7/24 at 10:58 pm
Hardly ever deer hunt in the morning. For turkeys I try to use a red light and try not to use any light if I don’t have to. But once it is late enough in the season for snakes to be active I will use whatever light I need to see a path. ...
re: Getting into woodcock hunting
Posted by Wavefan on 12/29/23 at 11:11 pm
On eating woodcock- not as good to me as quail or dove, but I found a recipe many decades ago where you pluck and draw the woodcock, salt and pepper inside and out, and bake it with currant jam smeared on the outside and stuffed in the body cavity. Really tasty. Don’t overcook. ...
re: Pearl River WMA for Woodcock
Posted by Wavefan on 12/12/23 at 9:26 am
Back in the 80s there were plenty of woodcock on the PRMA. Numbers are way down. There were a couple of gentlemen who have since passed that would wait until after deer season and hunt with Springers. But only on cold days. That area has one of the highest concentrations of cottonmouths you will...

re: Coral snake, right?
Posted by Wavefan on 11/9/23 at 10:51 pm
I’ve piddled around in the woods, swamps, marshes, dunes, and fields in the southeast often for over fifty years. Frequently actively looking for snakes. Never encountered a coral snake in the wild. Stumbled upon every endemic venomous snake but a coral at least a couple of times. Would consider mys...

I can think of very few things that would be a bigger story in natural history than confirming the existence of the ivory bill. The hoopla in 2004 when one was reported in Arkansas legit touched my heart. ...
