I hunted last week in N La at a friends place. They have 28 doe tags and have filled 2 and will probably fill 5 all year
I went just to hang out and to shoot a doe. First afternoon hunted a bottom and 2 does get 50 yards away, small 8 pt comes in and runs them for a minute. Friend texted me and I told him what was going on and he texts me back to not shoot a doe because they are rutting. The 2 does come back and eat acrons for 5 minutes 50 yards away.
Next morning, a nice 7 pt walks down the trail I am hunting, let him walk
That afternoon I am sitting on a pipeline and see a 6, a spike, and 3 does. The rules state that NO does are to be shot from the pipeline
Some of the rules are ridiculous and take the fun out of hunting. I would not have shot any of those bucks because some kid would love to shoot one but I had shots at 5 does and came home empty handed.
Trophy deer management is for the birds in louisiana unless you have a controlled herd (high fence). This deer hunting is getting a little silly when an 8 yr old is telling me about 'double-lunging' a 3.5 yr old 8 pt that scored --- inches
and to the original poster, he was wrong
