re: (MT VERNON, ARK) Man, offering 4k+ reward
Posted by CatSquirrel on 5/2/25 at 5:11 pm
The story tries to play people’s heartstrings, but in reality the fault lies with the owner.
Dogs are no different than other stock.
People get pissed when dogs come onto their property and frick up their hunts or their property.
I had a pair of dogs (cur mixes) that consistently used to roll through my property coursing deer while I’m sitting in my stand.
I found the owner and politely told him that his dogs were busting up my hunts on my place. Please to keep his dogs on his property.
Luckily for the dogs, the guy was very cool, apologized, and built a kennel.
It’s pretty frustrating to bust your arse paying a mortgage, scouting, putting in food plots, building stands, etc. and having someone let their dogs run through your hunts coursing deer.

Golden Meadow/Leeville Guides
Posted by CatSquirrel on 4/30/25 at 3:24 pm
Afternoon OB’ers
About a year ago, I got some good info on launches in the Golden Meadow and Montegut areas from y’all.
Well….I’m hoping y’all know a good all-inclusive guide in the Golden Meadow or Leeville area.
My wife has never caught a redfish or speck so I’m hoping to get her on some.
Normally, I’d bring my boat down, but I’m probably going to sell it since it goes unused. It’s really not worth repairing at this point.
So if anyone has a good recommendation for an all-inclusive inshore guide in those areas so I can do some research from there TIA.
Looking for boat and lodging on premises if possible.

The first thing you learn about carrying is if you can retreat and avoid a confrontation, you do so. It can save you major heartburn and legally gives you a defensible position in the event an aggressor keeps coming.
If there was no way for the kid to slip his anchor and motor off, at that point he had the right through Castle Doctrine to defend himself through whatever means he thought would preserve his life.
No one knows if the aggressor had a knife, gun, or if he really is elite military as he claimed.
I’m not a lawyer, so perhaps I’m wrong….and I’m certainly not a bad arse. I’ve been lucky to have avenues of escape when I’m carrying, which is most of the time.
Having said all this, if I owned that boat and couldn’t get away, there is no way I’d let someone that aggressive on my boat. I would have shot that motherfricker instantly when he tried to board my boat.

Seen two does and a small buck.
Small buck fed in front of me for 10 minutes and I debated taking him.
Never gave me a good solid shot.
I’d rather harvest a doe anyway.
I’ll give it another 1/2 hour or until my bladder gives out.
I have mechanical work to do anyway.
Beautiful morning.

I work with a lot of HOA’s in my job.
They’re all different, depending on the committee members. Some are pretty hands off and others are composed of busy bodies.
I live out in the country if that tells you anything.

Perhaps he could benefit from some range time?
Some of my fondest memories were going to the range with my Dad and him showing me how to settle in and squeeze off a shot.
Good luck everyone.

Sitting in my most used blind about 200 yards from my house overlooking a food plot.
MS gun season ends on the 22nd (unless I opt for black powder)
I’m just looking for a fat doe to drop off at the processor.

Mrs Cat Squirrel finally broke the ice with her new rifle. She shot a doe this evening.
I think I’m more excited than she is.

re: Looking for small atv suggestions
Posted by CatSquirrel on 1/5/25 at 10:10 am
I’d look for a used Rancher.
I’ve got a 2001 Fourtrax that I use around my farm for roading dogs and light chores. I think I bought it in 2004. Probably the best ATV purchase I ever made. Runs like a top.
Moving your round pen is probably your limiting factor. Depends on the size of your panels.
It won’t take the place of a larger unit, but for small chores it’s dependable.

re: Looking for my son's first rifle
Posted by CatSquirrel on 1/3/25 at 5:36 am
Since he’s only 5 y.o., why not get him a used 10/22 with (or without) an inexpensive scope?
Just take him out with you on walks or 4 wheeler rides plinking and let him develop an ultra-strong love of the outdoors.
You can pick one up for next to nothing, top it with an inexpensive scope and have a plinking machine. Ammo is cheap and he can have fun while you gently entrench proper gun habits and teach him the rules.
I still have one in my safe that I topped with an inexpensive Simmons scope. I pull it out all the time to target shoot and let my nephew practice his shooting form when my brother brings him to my farm to visit. My nephew loves to go for SxS or 4 wheeler rides with me and shoot trees, ant beds, pine cones, etc.
Zero recoil and he can go through a few banana mags before he gets bored and wants to do something else (he loves riding on tractors)
You can get him a “real” deer rifle in a couple or three years. There will probably be new models and scopes out then anyway or it will give you some time to find a deal at your LGS.
When the time comes, I’d suggest a .243 with a good scope. Then he’ll have two guns.
JMO….and congrats on getting your son out in the great outdoors.

Does anyone know if you can add cameras to your Moultrie plan or is it one camera per plan?
I’ve been pretty unhappy with Moultrie’s cameras this year and after multiple returns and IR pink picture problems, am considering a different manufacturer.
