The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition
October 1st and Louisiana archery season is here again so I figure I’ll take the time to chronicle my at home season again. It could turn out to be great, it could turn out to be terrible. I really don’t know what to expect and have tempered my hopes accordingly. As it stands my family and work...- KipCarson

A Boat Full of Po-Boys: A Louisiana Alligator Adventure!
For several years now everywhere I seem to turn I see alligators. Seriously. Working in waterfowl habitat management in the Red River watershed of northwest Louisiana keeps me outside nearly 100% of my days in wet and swampy places. I grew up here, and when I was a kid there did not seem to be...- KipCarson

The 25 Year Elk Drought
When I was 12 years old I took up bowhunting. As can be expected I had few unsuccessful years and I was definitely leaning all the things not to do as I went along, but was having fun nonetheless. When I turned 15 my dad gave me the wonderful gift of a Colorado elk tag and let me come along on... -
The 4 Month Bow Hunt
As far as days on the calendar go, for me, October 1st ranks right up there with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve. If only the boss would just add it to my paid holidays it would be perfect! It is the opening day of deer season in my area of Louisiana! Starting today, through January...- KipCarson

A Broken Paradise
As I prepare for another deer season, only a couple of weeks away from the October 1st opener here in Louisiana, it always has me thinking back over past seasons and the most memorable deer of my life. This time of year always has me hoping for a repeat, but that will likely never happen and... -
What the heck is it?
What in the world is this thing? My brother came across it on a recent scouting trip in southern Colorado. I can’t remember ever seeing anything like it. Some sort of gauge station to measure something? Maybe a back country hippie art installation or communication antenna used by the local...- KipCarson

A summary of a Louisiana deer season
This is a long post I know, it’s basically a summary of a four month long deer season. Next season I will probably do it in a semi live hunt thread, but I did not do that this year so this is what I ended up with. If you decide to read all the way through, thank you in advance and if you decide... -
Duck Baiting Season
Duck season has closed and for me that means that the work has begun. I am unashamed to admit that I am a duck baiter. While that is a high crime most of the time, for me it’s just another day on the job. The day after season ends I load up the ATV with as much corn and hen scratch as can be...- KipCarson

Impaled by a homicidal fish!
I figure I’d better warn everyone about the homicidal fish swimming around with a chip on their shoulder. Glad the little dude made it, and at least he will have an epic story and a really cool scar...- KipCarson

Nothing like a good storm!
I do love a good storm, not a soft spring showers kind of storm, but the window rattling toad strangling kind of thunderstorms that makes sane people cringe. The louder and crazier the better. My wife thinks I’m nuts but I have taken the stance that since there is nothing I can do to stop it...- KipCarson

Archery Antelope, Unit # Wyoming.
I'm an experienced bowhunter but have never stepped foot in the state of WY and have never hunted pronghorn. So I have quite a few questions... I have drawn a unit # tag and plan to spend about a week up there bowhunting starting on August 23. After doing my homework, my plan is to mainly hunt...
