Well they had deer come out, shot a big doe, jumped real high and ran 40 yards and stopped. Then walked and was wobbling. At dark I met them and there was plenty of blood. Followed it in the crp and dried up after 50-60 yards. Went back to the camp to get pearl. Arrived back and she worked the whole area and we came up empty. Hate it for the young man but he will have plenty opportunities coming.

Hunted yesterday morning for ducks w my buddy Chandos. We killed one. After we scouted for our deer hunt on the wma. Found some good stuff, so we will be joining the pumpkin patch Friday.

This morning we hunted the river and killed 7 in the fog. 4 woodys, green wing teal, a wigeon and hooded merganser.

he’s Cajun so he cooked us a spotted catfish courtboulon.

Great photos. How do you eat the merganser? I heard they are really fishy tasting so the one that was in the creek I hunt I passed onshooting.

Spotted cat, flathead, yellow cat, goujon, ops….all the same fish. As for the merg it was mistaken for a wood duck flying at mach 2. It’s not a very good eater but edible, especially w Cajuns. It was disposed off. As for species of birds we get most except for cinnamon teal but a few gets killed every yeah. Old squaw hens, I’ve killed a Brandt goose here. Scooters are being killed down in Venice. Ruddy’s every blue moon. Fulvous ducks are rare but killed, plenty of black bellied mexican ducks, even killed 2 black ducks.

One of the worst things I ever ate was an Atlantic Brant! Their diet is almost all sea lettuce with a mix of snails.
