A decent sized convenient store getting a few pennies from each customer could easily pocket an additional $100 per day.
And a large corporation like Wal-Mark can profit a close to a million dollars per year simply by keeping Pennie’s.

Did they ever figure out how it died?
Nothing has been released. I watched it for several hours the day before it was found dead and it appeared healthy and not in any distress. It kept crossing a somewhat busy road, and we blocked traffic a few times so that it wouldn’t get hit by a car. My guess is that it crossed the road in the late evening or early morning and was hit by a car.
One of the people found it thinks it was hit also, but every internet keyboard expert thinks it was killed by the substance on it.

Recent Wildlife/Nature photos from Wyoming and Louisiana
Posted by JOJO Hammer on 1/13/26 at 9:17 am
Below are a some photos taken over the last couple months up in Wyoming, and down here in Louisiana. More can be found at my website, however some of these aren't added yet, but will hopefully have them soon.

Below are a few of the photos I took of the bird.
There was a lot of back and forth about whether the bird was covered in oil or melanistic. Several photos were sent by other photographers to different wildlife experts, and none of them could seem to agree (one would say oil stained the other would say melanotic).
The birds behavior indicated that it was not in any type of distress. I, along with a few other wildlife photographers, watched it for several hours and it was hunting, eating, and acting pretty normal, and the feathers were not clumped together or crusty like you'd expect from an oil soaked bird. Because of this we all agreed it was likely melanistic, and did not try to intervene (had we known it was oil that would have been different).
A lot of people have said that a red flag should have been that the bird was not afraid of people, however if the bird had been habituated it would likely would have tolerated people being close by. We see this all the time at marinas and boat launches.
Other people are not claiming the bird was covered in creosote, however that us usually a thick tar like oil, and whatever the bird was covered was something thin that was able to get between every feather and stain it.
I watched the bird for a long time the day before it was found dead, and there were no indications that it was sick. My guess is (along with that of one of the people that found it dead) is that it got hit by a car since it liked to cross the road to hunt in different ditches.
I'm not sure where the bird got contaminated, but I think it at least needs to be investigated by St. Tammany Parish before more animals start showing up like this. I saw someone mentioned else mentioned Smitty's, but that's a pretty good distance from Slidell, so not sure if that would be the source (could be, just not sure.)
There is also a lot of argument as to whether this was a great great or great blue heron. I'm leaning great blue because of the chest plumage, you don't see it like that on the egrets (their breeding plumage is different). It was smaller than most great blues, but could have just been a young one. Either way wish the story would have turned out differently.

Have to disagree here.
Hard to beat areas like Jackson, Dubois, Lander, Pinedale, Alpine, and Cody (just to name a few). The beauty of those areas can't be beat (except for maybe Alaska). You have hunting, fishing, and lots of other outdoors things in those areas. Sure the winters may be cold, but they aren't as bad as most people think.

re: Do you really get nervous when you're about to shoot a deer?
Posted by JOJO Hammer on 12/8/25 at 11:20 am to homemadeshine
Bow hunting, I get nervous when one walks within range.
Rifle hunting, it depends on the overall situation. And by that I mean is it a doe or a buck? If it’s a buck how big is the buck? How is the deer acting? Lots of other things may play into it as well. Point is, yes I still get nervous at times.
I don’t think I’ve been nervous about shooting a doe for a very long time.
