    Hunting in cancer alley

    I’m sure many will be familiar with the stretch of southeast Louisiana along the Mississippi known as ‘cancer alley’. The corridor is lined with refineries and petrochemical plants - and incidentally, a good chunk of public hunting land. I’ve not spent much time on these tracts, but I was...

    movement in relation to wind direction

    i started thinking about this because I've been hunting a spot that sits along a N/S running thicket. the south end meet a swamp edge, and there's a 10-15' drop down into the swamp. that slope into the swamp is cut with trails and the area surrounding this thicket is thick, with small thickets...

I drew back and first mishap: my peep...

    blind grunt calls/rattles

    speaking here of hitting your grunt call (or rattling) when you do not at the current moment see any deer. yea? nay? under what conditions would you consider or use this? I had 3 bucks respond to and audibly come into a blind grunting sequence last year during the rut, but never had a shot...

    wind, thermals, swirls and terrain

    I've been getting burned on some hunts where the wind is shifting, often times to 180 degrees opposite it's stated direction. I'm curious to learn more about how to expect and mitigate this, if at all possible, and what terrain features may contribute or exacerbate this swirling effect. I'm...

    stealth strip on release?

    do any of y'all have stealth strip on your bow release? I swear mine knocks into EVERYTHING as I'm getting into the woods and climbing and is constantly clacking around. I'm a bit wary of stripping it since I wouldn't want to impede its mechanical function, but it's also pretty noisy with...

    Rain

    Do you guys hunt in the rain? Meaning not a torrential downpour, but steady bearable rain. More than a drizzle. My available days to hunt this week have a high chance of rain all afternoon and early evening. I have a Milsurp camo poncho so not anxious from a gear perspective- more wondering if...

    Buck smell

    Can you smell if a buck is bedding near or around a certain area? Not smelling a scrape or rub up close, but just general walking around and suddenly getting a big whiff of buck? Curious because as I was leaving my spot last night in the dark, I tried to navigate thru a thicket and got back...

    Deep South early season

    This will be my first season bow hunting the early season in SE LA. I’m a fairly new hunter anyway, but I’m curious if any Deep South guys have tips or advice for early season broadly - things to prepare for, tactics that differ from rut and late season, preparation and weather? One question I...

    Spots

    How do you guys conceptualize of a “spot”? Not talking here about sign or features you may look for while scouting. But when you settle on a spot - is it down a single tree that you select to hunt out of, hang a stand on or maybe trim to make way for a platform - and that’s one spot? Or Is it a...
