Punch skirts are popular with many bass anglers because they turn normal creature baits into essentially jig presentations. Bass angler Jeff Bruhl put the technique to good use during a September bass-fishing trip to Venice, La., just before the river jumped up due to late-summer rains in the Midwest.
To some anglers, they’re “gut piles.” To others, they’re “dead soldiers.”
Most Gulf Coast anglers have seen, either in person or in videos, redfish in water that’s so clear, it looks like it should have been delivered by the Kentwood man.
The water was high, but it wouldn’t be for long.
A northwest wind baring fangs sharpened in Canada tore through our camo coats and waders, making the short night spent in our warm beds seem like some type of surreal fantasy.
This was a serious blow that would drop temperatures to near-record levels later that night, but at this point, the wind was still on a seek-and-destroy mission, hunting down any semblance of recalcitrant warmth that remained, and driving it way out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Ronnie Corkern had to wait only one year to see the value of quality-buck management.
Five years ago, his third season hunting a 2,200-acre tract in Jefferson County, Corkern had a beautiful 15-inch-wide 13-point at only 10 yards.

Dr. Scott Tynes’ father, the late Rev. J.W. Tynes, was the type of man who always knew where the right place was at the right time.
Back in the days when Mississippi deer were more rumor than reality, the elder Tynes would play the role of huntmaster in unmanageably large and fabulously gregarious dog drives, and somehow, Tynes always intuitively recognized the sweet spot — the one draw or ridge or saddle where the dogs would inevitably push the deer.

You don’t have to own land to have a great time taking some eastern Mississippi deer. […]
There can’t possibly exist many recipes for preparing a backstrap better than Deer Darlene. […]
Eastcentral Mississippi isn’t known for producing bucks that are even in the same category as the trophies that hail from the Delta, but what the area certainly doesn’t lack is numbers.
Perhaps that’s part of the problem. […]
If the sport of hunting dies from lack of participation by today’s youth, it won’t be because of the Last Chance Hunting Club. […]
