Me too. I think it must have something to do with the rifle season lengths possibly? I don't know. I've seen the same thing with fields though. I've hunted near crop fields in Louisiana where you wouldn't hardly ever see deer out in them, even during the summer. It has to do something with...

Possibly, but I wouldn't want to in this case. The property edges are highly visible from a road that is easy to shoot from. I wouldn't want the deer close to the fields in the daytime. Even at night, down here, it's risky for deer to be in fields. From what I've experienced, deer down here...

Yeah, that had me second guessing my decision not to buy it last year. I didn't really think bucks could get the age on them like that on that parcel the way Louisiana is and the way it's surrounded by fields and a road. I had one or two equivalent in Kentucky this year, but it was sporadic...

I recognize the stand in one of the photos. It would be pretty easy to verify if a potential buyer went out there soon. One of the photos was from yesterday when it was listed, and the rice bran piles should be left.

It's pretty common now for listings, especially ones targeted for hunting to include those. It looks like the place I walked; I remember that stand in the background. It would be pretty easy for a potential buyer to verify though. The pics are very recent and the rice bran piles should be easy...

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.
