re: Deer lease
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 1/14/26 at 5:03 pm to freshtigerbait
I mean if the local sheriff is refusing to enforce trespassing laws cause they’re his kin, that’s not Weyerhaeuser’s fault or a problem on the vast majority of the millions of acres they own. This shite isn’t that hard to handle if you have some common sense.

If there are locals in that area that know it is weyerhauser, they are 100% trespassing on it when you are not there.
They’re sure welcome to try :lol:
We have cell cameras on every access road and the sheriff’s number saved. Never been an issue in 15 years except for some community college kids drinking beer on the side of the road one night.

Weyerhauser doesn't give a shite either because they are not liable for anyone that goes on their land. We complained to them all the time about it but they never did squat. Pretty annoying
This is 100% false. They maintain insurance for any hunter who will be on the property. You should have called the law if someone was trespassing, not an office lady.

We had a log trailer with a broken axle left for two years, wasn’t really bothering us, but when we finally called they sent the loggers to come get it. Weyerhaeuser had no idea it was there until we said something. Their employees may never set foot on a property depending on how much of the operation is being contracted out, but when I’ve dealt with them they’ve been pretty reasonable.

Did you tell your lease contact? They typically contract out the logging and have repeated asked us to let them know if the loggers are leaving a mess, dumping hydraulic fluid, etc. When we complained about a main road holding water after logging they sent a dozer out to fix it. I guess it depends on the employee you get ahold of.

Weyerhaeuser lists properties for lease in the late spring. You can sign up to be notified when things get posted, will need to have 5-6 guys you get along with lined up to split costs as there’s no telling how big the property will be, and be ready to pull the trigger immediately. No it’s not going to be the most desirable property but any timber in MS is going to at least have does on it with a punchers chance to catch a mature buck wandering through. If your expectations are higher than that then you’ll need to start asking everyone you know where they hunt and if they’ve heard of any openings, and hope they like you.

re: Planting persimmons on deer land.
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 1/6/26 at 5:49 pm to LoneStarStiffShaft
All I’ll say is that I would collect seeds from wild plants and grow those. With an exclusion cage to keep them from getting browsed or dug up by squirrels I’m sure you could propagate them. Most persimmons you’ll see at nurseries aren’t the native variety and the deer don’t like them as much. Got a massive tree someone planted years ago in one of our bigger plots that drops like crazy every year, but all that eats them are coyotes, so much so you can target coyotes on that stand in early season.
re: What knife or tool do you use to crack open the sternum on a deer?
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 1/3/26 at 2:04 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
I’ve hunted several places that used walkins including my current place and we never split the ribs, there’s plenty of room to drop everything once the hide is off the neck, and no need to go for spotless inside the ribcage.

Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 1/3/26 at 11:22 am to LSUSUPERSTAR
I’ve lost count of the deer I’ve skinned and I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally cut through a deer’s sternum, even when attempting to get the heart out.
re: Want to start processing my own deer and looking for quality electric meat grinder.
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/30/25 at 7:50 am to tigamike
Whatever you have budgeted to spend on a grinder, go buy the $99 dollar one from academy and spend the real money on a good vacuum sealer. Unless you’re just not trimming worth a shite I have never been slowed down by even a basic grinder, all of them can process faster than you can trim.

Prettymuch anything you would throw a big crank on, MH or H with a moderate to fast action.

None. Throwing an A-rig is a gigantic pain in the arse. It will work any time of the year in any conditions on a shad fishery, but it’s the equivalent of sitting over corn deer hunting turkeys, if I have to resort to that I might as well go buy some fricking golf clubs.

The rut doesn’t wait for a cold front, I take my days off when I know they’re gonna be fired up and don’t look back. Has never mattered if it’s 23 or 73, someone is gonna kill a mature buck on our place on January 3rd.
re: How Long Does The Rut Last In Louisiana ?
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/19/25 at 8:47 am to The Torch
On average it’s gonna be about two weeks, and the peak date will depend on the genetics of the area. It isn’t influenced by weather or the moon, it’s a genetic response to photoperiod that can be lengthened or shifted if there are way too many does or a screwed up age structure.
If deer density is too high or age structure out of whack, you will see a very watered down rut that is spaced out over several weeks, with does coming back in if they don’t get bred the first time. If the bucks in your area get real fired up then just go back to normal quickly, it’s a good sign you or at least folks in the general area are managing things fairly well.

He asked for a review, and this gun was made 100% to compete with the tikka lite. I have both, and the tikka is the better buy unless you just really, really want factory cerakote or have to have a 3 position safety.
re: What .35 Whelen Ammo You Shoot
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/17/25 at 1:04 pm to WillFerrellisking
My scout will put three 225 gr trophy bonded bearclaw federals touching but they have been discontinued, so I’ll be loading accubonds for it when I run out of those. It didn’t like the 180 TSX but I’d have no qualms about shooting them in a pinch.
I have not found a single round out of a 35 whelen that doesn’t put a deer on the ground right there. They can be picky, but if your gun shoots it moment of softball and you’re not lobbing them 200 yards, then roll with it.

re: Low Recoil 30-06
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/12/25 at 8:35 pm to Old Man and a Porch
That’s a gun problem not a 243 problem, might be the whole problem. If you’re looking for a little more bullet without a lot more recoil, look at a 7mm-08, 6.5CM, or 308 with a bonded or monolithic bullet and your kid will have a light recoiling deer killing tool for life.
re: Low Recoil 30-06
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/11/25 at 8:52 pm to Old Man and a Porch
Any rifle marketed as a “target” model is likely to be heavy as shite and will have noticeably less felt recoil. There are a ton out there and they’ll all shoot good, cause they’re heavy as shite. Add a brake or suppressor to a rifle that weighs 10+lbs and you won’t feel much.
re: Deer rifle upgrade
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/7/25 at 11:49 am to Deaux-nut
You really need to put some trigger time in with that gun before you take it out to hunt. The roughtechs have a little more arse than a standard T3x lite due to the slightly heavier barrel contour, but that’s still going to be about a 7.5 lb setup with magnum recoil. YouTube how to adjust the trigger weight down, it takes about 30 seconds, action screws should be retorqued to 45 in-lbs. Do not be afraid to add weight to the rifle until you’ve gotten used to shooting it.

Every single team in the country is reliant on the portal if they want to be in serious contention. No matter what position you think we need, there’s another team that believes it’s the one piece that will get them a natty. The market will set the price for the players.
