Yup, we're so small we sorta fly under the radar. Might not be the brightest idea to post them.

Good! You know Kyle the thing that keeps our bucks the safest is all the doe/gun hunting and muzzle loading that the state now allows in Oct. Every Friday and Saturday and 16 of the 27 legal hunting days in October allow gun hunting for deer in some form. It does a good job of educating the bucks prior to the rut and has really effected daytime rut activity. Posts: 201 | From: Milton, DE | Registered: Aug 2003

Plug, that buck on the right- I think you caught him in the act of something I've always suspected was possible but never had any positive proof of. I think he's in the middle of becoming invisible.
We have the same problem in my part of MS: 6 weeks or so of bow season, the first gun season, and into primitive weapon season before the rut gets going. By then bowhunting is extremely tough.

Glad we feel the same Plug. Too many "wanderers" these days in our little state. All these gun seasons make everyone think they're professional deer killers. Would love to get together and shoot sometime.

That's what I though but some co workers laughed and said I was crazy,they have never seen one and I've only seen one while duck hunting in central Louisiana. This is in northwest Louisiana.

Joebuck, I was talking to one of your fellow club members monday and the way he talked, ya'll were very lucky. He said it went about 300 yards from the houses.

Son of Texas, otters will wander. I have a newly stocked 5 acre lake on my place, out in the woods. The nearest river is a mile away, and there are no large creeks in the area. I found otter sign there a couple of weeks ago. I hope he's still wandering! I don't need any help eating my fish.

Don...I think the wandering River Otter is the actual critter in 99% of "black panther" sightings. Black house cats are pretty common in most upland areas but not in the lower areas where a lot of "black panthers" are seen.
