High water always condenses and pushes animals to a particular area....hell our whole rut is dependent on spring flooding which is why river basin deer rut so damn late.....
I've hunted a lot of public lands in LA but never have I ever stepped foot in Sicily Island. Honestly I've pasted by it quite often and it looks fairly intense terrain. Reminds me of red dirt-wilderness area.
its not easy terrain for sure. only area ive seen in La that has near vertical drop offs...very, very steep out there....saw the biggest buck of my life out there last year and never could get close enough to him...
no im from SE La....me and a group of buddies decided to go out there few years ago from word of mouth. More buck sign than ive ever seen in my life out there...almost too much, i didnt know how to process it lol from my SE perspective...
pre rut action starts happening right around that thanksgiving week so mid dec probably about right
yeap. fair warning, i dont exaggerate the terrain...know what you're getting into if you decid to go out that way. its probably tunica hills on steriods
thats what i thought lol...check out the topo for that area,its wild...it kicks my butt out there.
the first year we was there we saw an older guy and his buddy leaving with a very nice one in the back of truck on his 4 wheeler. He told us he had more like that one on his wall at home. The one i saw was a def shooter...chasing a doe and when i saw him all i saw first was his rack and i noticed how far past his ears it went and super tall tines....he haunts me to this day...he was across a creek 65 yards and i was out there 2-3 days before rifle season with my bow...
they go up north lol.these bucks dont exist down here....all the ag fields up there and good habitat grow em right.
That's saying a lot. I hunted Tunica hills hard for 5 years. You have to carry a block and tackle system to get deer up those bluffs.
one of the reasons i wanted to know about deboning and packing out....getting a big buck outta there will be an ordeal
