Describe your hunts. Sitting in a box blind looking at a corn feeder? Food plot? Hunting trails? How many acres were the 4 of you hunting? Hunting the same stands every hunt?

re: LA with velvet season coming
Posted by Woodbird on 1/9/26 at 1:06 pm to Jim Hopper
Yea I could see it being variable across the state. I’m in Union Parish and run a several cameras across a good bit of acreage. Looking at this years pics, the last velvet pic I have of any decent bucks was on Sept 8.
My point is 1-2 weeks won’t make a difference in weather or biology, so if we’re going to have a velvet season then please at least make the season when deer are in velvet.

Just looked it up and Mississippi’s hunt was September 12-14 this year. At that point don’t even call it a velvet season. Most bucks will have already shed velvet for 7-10 days at that point. Whats the point in having a 3 day season 2-3 weeks before regular bow season if the odds are bucks have already shed velvet?
To actually have a velvet season, it needs to be the last weekend in August at the latest. That would be Aug 28-30 in 2026. Tennessee has an actual velvet hunt and it was Aug 22-24 this past year.

Hopefully it’s in late August and not early September. I work with several people from Arkansas and the’ve had a velvet hunt the last 2 years around Labor Day weekend. We’ve all commented how most of the bucks in North LA and South AR shed velvet the week before.
If you’re going to brave the heat then at least make the season where most bucks are actually still in velvet.

Daddy might be coming home! Hopefully the UL-X twins have been behaving while we were away on an extended road trip.
I’d be interested if you decide you want to let someone lease it. You can email me at woodbirdtd@gmail if you want to talk more.

Seconded I seem to always miss out but would love a code to buy a new set in the new Optifade cover.
woodbirdtd@gmail if anyone has an extra code

Now the 5 year chart
I’ll make it as simple as it can be. If you are happy with any of those deer and want to shoot them then do so and have a good time. But don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re doing any management by shooting them.
By asking the question I assume you’re wanting to manage your deer herd and shoot bigger deer. You need to give all of those bucks a few more years and if the neighbors shoot them then so be it. If you’re wanting to consistently kill 3 or 4, much less 5+ year old mature bucks then the #1 thing you can control is your trigger finger. I promise you they won’t get any older if you shoot them at 1 or 2.

What were you offered per acre for a solar farm?

Which of the 2 episodes was it? I really don’t want to have to listen to him more than I have to. Interesting dude but a little cringe worthy at times.
It was the 2nd episode I think 10-15 minutes into that episode. And I agree with your assessment…very interesting and knowledgeable but seems very arrogant and like someone you wouldn’t want to hang out with.
Went back and listened and it’s Krenite he mentions.
I don’t know the herbicide but know it was discussed when Mark Thomas was on the podcast. Looks like it was a 2 part series episodes 225 and 227. He went into detail on his spray rig for pruning trees and how fast he drove his tractor, etc. You could try skipping around in those episodes to get to that point.
re: Big buck killed by little girl in Texas

I used to work with a guy that lives around there he sent that picture to me the other day and then texted me a few days later and said it was confirmed that deer was 1 of 3 bucks that escaped from a high fence two years ago. Apparently there is still one that hasn’t been killed yet. Regardless of where it came from, it was free ranging for 2 years before she killed it.

Good luck. 70 degrees inside for me this morning but the wind is supposed to shift this afternoon and I’m planning on making my first sit of the year this evening.

Where’d she come from? We had to put down our 6 year old male boykin in February due to cancer. My wife and I were just talking yesterday evening about how our 11 year old GSP is slowing down so we’ll probably be getting a pup within the next year. A female boykin is at the top of my list.

Being completely honest with you - as someone who has been there and done that - you’re signing up to buy a good bit of new gear and go on a hiking trip with your bow. You’ll be with a friend and have a good time and see some beautiful country, but the odds are against you to actually kill. If the success rate is 10% then know there are probably a few guys that hunt the unit every year that are killing half of the bulls that get killed in the unit each year. For a random guy to just show up on a hunt like that, the actual success rate will be a fraction of the posted success rate.
With that said, if you think this type of hunt may be something you want to get into then go and get your feet wet and you’ll learn a lot that you can use next year, etc. I made my first hunting trip out west about 5 years ago and have been elk, antelope, or mule deer hunting out west every year since.
If you’re looking to kill something then I’d go to Kentucky and hunt velvet white tails.

The glass plant is on I-20 at the industrial exit. You may not have known it was a glass plant but if you’ve spent any time at all in Simsboro you know where it is and have passed it 100 times.
