Deer Hunting Reports - Louisiana Sportsman Reports, LA

Can anyone tell me the pro's-cons of a 35 Whelen vs a 45-70 on an Encore-they are legal in MS during muzzle loader season, and was wondering which is better all around. Distance, knock down, accuracy, bullet drop, etc. Any experience is welcome.

No experience with an Encore, 35 Whelen or 45-70, but I can vouch for the Knight KP1 in 444. Half inch group at 100 yards. Deadly on deer. Guess that didn't help much did it.

These are just 1 1/2 year old bucks, give them more nutrition from january to september next year via summer plots and supplemental feed and they will put on some bone. Good looking young bucks.

Fog Deer

Thursday morning this buck showed up right out of the fog. Unreal experience when all you can see is 80 yards and a big deer appears out of thick fog. The old 280AI was accurate and the 202 pounder is being turned into sausage! Another great hunt at Liberty Trace Ranch in Amite Co, MS!

Older bucks usually chase the ladies around the new moon of January in Pointe Coupee parish. Be in the woods on the 12th through the 15th.

Three Legged Buck

LastCast

December 14, 2020 at 4:51pm

Got these pics at my lease in Mississippi. It appears the deer does not have use of a hind leg. I don't see any wounds like he was shot. I suppose he could have been hit by a car and it didn't heal right. But I'm guessing maybe he was born this way? He appears to be healthy otherwise

Possibly an injury, check out the opposite side antler deformity. Cull deer for sure.
