re: Little River and Pomme de Terre WMA

Gotcha. Was thinking you may have meant one of the ones in Avoyelles.
I dont think Ive ever been on that WMA, but I did have nuisance complaints on Little River and most of the Grant Parish lakes in that area. My memory of those areas was that alligator population and density was a bit low - likely due to slightly cooler water from the spring fed creeks. Its been a while though.
Anywhere else you looking?

Which Little River are you referencing? Ive caught nuisance gators in that general, years ago, on several different Old or Little Rivers.

re: Opinions needed on deer processing

Stay away :lol:
How and when are the deer dropped off? If you are taking in whole or field dressed, the majority are going to show up on the weekend. If you are taking in previously quartered deer in ice chests, they may come in one a weekday; but now you have different issues with the big one being having to process some of these immediately because they've been on ice for a few days already.
How and when will they be picked up? If you are still working some, this leaves weeknights and the weekend. If you set pickup hours, then you have to be there; but it won't matter some people will show up all hours of the day regardless of whether you are there or not.
Are you doing this at your house/shop? Even if you are selective with the clientele, you can't control who they bring for pickup and drop off. Do you really want that sketchy, friend of a friend who rides along seeing your place and taking inventory?
How are you going to handle CWD? Its now confirmed close enough to that area to be an issue.
Does it really take you 2 hours to go through the entire process including breakdown of equipment, decontamination, and cleaning between successive deer? Are you packaging and is that included in the time?
Just some thoughts from someone that has also processed their own for 30 years and has been a part of 2 similar home based business.

re: Can the baseball gods give us just 1 natty?
Posted by consumptive_use on 6/24/26 at 10:40 pm to GetPiggywithIt
My humble opinion: It will happen. It will happen relatively soon. It will not happen with DVH @ the helm. From a Geaux Tigers perspective, I truly respect what he has done, but if 2018 didn't close the book - 2025 certainly did. Can the sea's part and provide a path in DVH's twilight? Certainly. Likelihood - low. I'll still root for DVH and by proxy - I guess Arkansas. Overarchingly, I think yall's best shot going forward under DVH is a total wildcard similar to this year's OU team. As long as the Omaha path didn't run through Baton Rouge, I would get behind. In Omaha, shite happens and I wouldn't be too mad if the baseball god's put their finger on AR over LSU. Being said, Frick Arkansas and Geaux Tigers :usa:

For UGA and LSU, the Alabama losses in 2012 (regular season for LSU) are the most important lynch pins resulting in Kirby's run and 2019 for the Tigers.
Richt wins that game, UGA destroys ND in the natty, and there is no way he is moving on from UGA 3 years later even if there is a similar decline after 2012. UGA does not get Kirby.
LSU wins, likely loses to UGA in Atlanta, but the "Les can't beat Saban" whispers don't start. The decline still happens, but Les can't save his job by beating A&M in 2015, isn't fired in September 2016 - but is likely still fired in 2016 , and Coach O has no chance to win the job after we frick up the coaching search. Without O there, we do not have anything like the 2019 season that year.
In the unlikely hypothetical event where LSU beats UGA in Atlanta, UGA still moves on from Richt and gets Kirby, but LSU beats ND - not as bad as Alabama did or Georgia would have. We would still end up with 1 natty in the 2010s, but would have had to put up with Les for another 3-5 years, and miss out on 2019.
I don't think any of these scenarios changes Alabama's run. Saban still ends up with 5 or 6 or maybe more without Kirby and 2019 LSU standing in his way.
Two damn good games in 2012 in which Alabama was "on the ropes" with less than 5 minutes in the 4th and found a way to rip our hearts out. Change one play late in either of those games going against Alabama, and the last 15 years for UGA and LSU are remarkably different.

re: Skip and Jay = Bear and Saban

ChatGPT only got me to the 1500 coaches estimate.
Going back to the subjective/objective line, it is not hard to make an objective argument that Augie is the best. Five times, at 2 schools (albeit over 44 total years), and not only 4 decades but 4 to 5 different tourney formats. Skip does have one from the super regional format, but it was before the change to a 3 game final series.

Folks will give you shite about the title - as they should. However, the content is correct, albeit very premature.
It is widely accepted that Saban surpassed the Bear as GOAT. It isn't that clear cut in baseball. Objective and subjective arguments can be made for Dedeaux, Augie, and Skip as the GOAT. There is no doubt these 3 are on college baseball's Mount Rushmore and will remain for a long time - potentially forever.
Therefore, this is the universe you look to put Jay in after 4 years. At this point, he is a damn strong candidate, and 1 of only 2 still coaching, but it is premature. Via an AI estimate there have been approximately 1500 coaches total that have had a chance to win a natty: 3 have won more than 3, 4 have won 3 (P. Casey being the most recent), and 10 have won 2 (with T. Corbin being the only other active coach).
Cumulatively, 43 of 1500 coaches have won a national title in baseball (2.87%). However, the aforementioned 17 coaches accounted for 52 natties or 67%. Jay currently exists in an elite class of coaches with 2 or more championships, comprising of 17 of 1500 coaches all time (1.1%).
To add a bit more context, the average amount of seasons between these coaches 1st and second natty was 3.75 to 4.35 years (depending upon how you account for A. Lopez and Augie at CSF and Texas). Regardless, the trend is this: across these 17 coaches that have multiple national championships the overwhelming majority win their first and second within 4 years or across 1 to 2 recruiting classes. The 3 GOATS did it across multiple recruiting classes, years, and decades.
Thus, while we can quantify that Jay Johnson is an elite coach and in the top 1.1% all time - based upon results, it is premature to put him in the same universe as Skip, Augie, and Dedeaux.

The mixture should be reapplied several times. Without getting to much into the chemistry, the mixture doesn't mask the smell, it changes the structure of the mercaptins (stink compounds) so that they can be encapsulated by the soap and washed away. However, striped skunks have 2 additional compounds within their spray that are not activated until they interact with water.
So if you wash with the mixture once or twice and then wash it off with water, you have now reactivated the smell.

Posted by consumptive_use on 6/6/23 at 7:55 am to LanierSpots
Check your state laws. Most states prohibit or regulate the release of raccoons.
You can also check to see if you have a county or municipal agency that will come pick it up and euthanize it.

re: 1st trip Toledo Bend advice
Posted by consumptive_use on 5/31/23 at 11:13 pm to Whatafrekinchessiebr
Be careful of falling into the trap of trying to do too much in 1 trip. You have listed at the minimum, bass fishing, white perch fishing, running noodles, kayaking, potentially bank/dock fishing, and relaxing.
I fell into this trap the first several times I planned the weekend up there. TB is a wonderful place to fish, relax, and spend a few days. But be warned, it is easy to get on fish up there (target species or otherwise) and run yourself out of a relaxing weekend chasing them; it's also damn easy to get skunked and spend all weekend chasing them.
Also, you should consider the "difficulty" of fishing white perch on Toledo Bend in June on your first trip.
