Record Book Bucks

Pretty interesting map of where Louisiana record book bucks are killed. It's derrived from the official reports on the Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries website, as to where record class bucks have been taken in the state. It coincides with a lot of major rivers.

Here are the official numbers of record book bucks entered into LDWF Big Game Records. It can be found on LDWF website. The admission criteria is as follows:

Gun: Typical, 160"; Non-Typical, 185"
Muzzleloader: Typical, 120"; Non-Typical, 150"
Archery: Typical, 110"; Non-Typical, 140"

Below is the number of individual deer killed per parish that are listed in "the books". It doesn't necessarily mean that the 3 parishes you inquired about do not produce big bucks; it simply means that some parishes consistantly produce monsters, while others hardly. If you look at sattellite imagery of your three parishes, you can see that there is more open farmland/square mile than virtually any other part of the state, which can help explain the lower numbers; there is simply not as much open woods as other parts of the state. Also, these three parishes are centered between two major river systems, which throughout history could have naturally isolated an inferior gene pool. There are exeptions to the statistics, but you can gain insight into where you SHOULD BE if you want the best probability for taking a bigger buck, such as Tensas or West Feliciana Parish.

This is for you bbarret

I spent about an hour searching past posts for this map prior to posting my question about trophy potential for catahoula parish and surrounding areas.. I was hoping to people's experience that hunt in that area. I know there is a lot of agriculture around and it seems that the area should produce good deer. The map does not say so...

I added the table from which the maps were derrived. Does this seem to support what you all experience where you hunt?

Simply amazing!

I love books! This is source of inspiration and an opportunity for me to improve my writing skills. For me, it was always a source of knowledge too. And I use samples when I need help with a written assignment https://www.topessaywriting.org/samples/physics This is the most efficient and time-efficient way for me to complete everything.

This is a wonderful book. For me, the most important thing in the book is informative and useful. And also for me it is an indispensable tool that helps in preparing assignments. Moreover, I encounter this quite often. Recently I needed to prepare a statement of purpose and it turned out to be a difficult task. I found a way to simplify this task for myself and the statement of purpose writing service helped me with this. It's great that you can rely on experts in these matters.
