None, but I imagine if they are hunting it, prime time is just starting. Not sure why they'd list it during our rut here though and have people walking around on it if they were hunting it. Maybe they just thought they could turn a quick buck. The really broad, general area is one of the best in...

That's tough. I feel like I would be hunting the same deer if I bought the one next to me in KY. With the LA, I would be hunting different deer and I would just be into the best hunting of the year right now. But, given one, I'd probably still go with KY. It's just been a funner experience...

Update again on this property. The person that bought took some buck pictures on it and has it relisted now for $114,000.

Biologic has been bringing in NZ clovers and brassicas for at least a couple decades now. They seem to do pretty well.

Are they in the Red River corridor? That corridor and the Mississippi River delta corridor are some of the best places for big deer in Louisiana. But there's also a region in northwest LA that's been cranking out some good ones lately too. Beautiful, dark racks. Yeah, the glory days are right...

Hey now, I resemble that remark! 😁 Only 2 bucks and 4 does have been taken off my place in the last 7 seasons. Probably not the most representative of most Louisiana hunters though. But, I own instead of lease. I think that makes a big difference.

Down here, pipelines and powerlines are often the only places to plant foodplots. Generations of hunting club members have been planting these. Box stands on them are common. As long as it doesn't stay flooded for prolonged periods during the hunting season, I'd think you'd be fine. Maybe...

Really cool buck! Congratulations!

Why did they choose to sell to a non-resident over a resident? Why did the 25 locals not choose to go in together in a LLC and buy it? Why didn't the locals feel sorry for the 25 displaced hunters and let them hunt on the remaining acreage?

The money spent for a resident landowner to contribute to the state's management of its wildlife resources vs a nonresident landowner. Those other monies that you're talking of do not contribute to the agency tasked with the management of that state's wildlife management.

No, but I contribute almost 10x's the money spent to that state's management of the wildlife resources than the resident does. And, 100% more than the landowner who doesn't buy a license. The state gets almost 100% of its money to manage wildlife from license sales. If a resident landowner...

That kind of nonresident landowner is not displacing the same apples to apples resident landowner from hunting though.

They were podunk at one time. But, because of non-residents, have a better economy now. I'm not saying those places are better or that I want everywhere to turn into that. Heck no. I'm just saying that non-resident, hunting land, landowners have not brought down local economies. You can't tell...

But, they would have been a detriment to hunting and wildlife. An example of a non-resident landowner being more beneficial to the wildlife resources than residents.

Just an example of non-resident contribution to local economies. If we're talking about just deer hunting, I kept my farm from being subdivided into local residential lots.

But ask the sales tax collectors in Destin, Gatlinburg, Eureka Springs, Branson, etc, etc.

Local economies benefit greatly with sales dollars and taxes generated by non-residents.

Not an ordinary circumstance though. And, I don't think you'd wish you had 25 more hunters next to you though. Support for the wildlife resources is different than support for the local and state economy.

How many resident landowners that own property for hunting are not displacing locals from hunting there? Are they just letting locals have free hunting use of the land so they have a place they can go hunting whenever they want? I bet residents are more restricted by other residents than...

Another time in Louisiana, when I was in college, some of us wildlife students were allowed to hunt on LSU property near a research station. I was hunting in a small tract surrounded by private land I had secured access to come through. One morning, two men came walking down an logging road...
