The best two turkey calls
Preston Pittman says there are two calls every hunter needs to have in his bag. I stood amazed at the display. Walking the jam-packed turkey hunting gear aisle of a local big box store checking out the latest in turkey calls, I was simply blown away by all the options. I lost count twice before I finally headed up a mind calculation of 75 different calls spread across a huge variety of brand names, call types, materials and package deals including instructional tapes and DVDs.

Try a light-goose close-out hunt
Goose hunting can be extremely productive this time of year under the Conservation Order regulations. It’s February. You’re sick of deer hunting. Your rabbit dogs are dead tired. The woods are too wet to squirrel hunt. Turkey hunting is more than a month away. It is way too cold to fish — besides the bass boat is still in storage.

In his own words: Rocky LaGrone's 165-inch Claiborne County buck
New York's Rocky LaGrone has hunted in Claiborne County's Six Forks for a decade, and the annual pilgrimage finally paid off Jan. 14 with this trophy. The damp of the January morning (on Jan. 14) drove straight to the bone and clung like steel traps, much colder than the dry snow and sub-freezing temperatures I’d left behind near Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the day before. But then, that’s the way it’s always been down South – a cold that courses your body; one that numbs the toes and finger tips, tortures any exposed surfaces and makes the sway of an errant limb feel like the lash of an angry whip. I know the pain of Southern cold ever so well: I grew up in Shreveport, La., just about 200 miles east of where I was creeping Indian style through the undergrowth of Claiborne County.

155-inch buck with double main beam killed in Amite County
Louisiana's Wayne McAndrew killed this deer Jan. 13, after leasing a 450-acre Amite County tract just before the hunting season began. Wayne McAndrew stumbled across a piece of Amite County property available for lease in August 2009, and jumped at the chance to start his own club. While the tract of land only encompassed 450 acre, McAndrew soon knew he had made the right decision. “The first or second week of bow season, my buddy (Brad Balado) actually got a picture way on the other side of the lease of this buck,” the Louisiana hunter said. “Our jaws dropped when we saw the picture.”

Mahannah produces trophy buck
Waveland's Eddie Peterson knocked this 169 5/8-inch buck down Dec. 16 after an unknown hunter directed him to Eddie Peterson had made the drive from Waveland to Mahanna Wildlife Management Area for a draw hunt, but hadn’t had much luck until they ran across another hunter who had killed a pretty nice deer. “He didn’t tell us, ‘Go here,’ but he told us a general area to go to,” Peterson said. So during the mid-day lull on Dec. 16, the hunter and his buddies eased in to find stand sites.
