Just wanted to consolidate and get really good at one thing. I liked hunting but fishing has always been my passion. I collected many toys over the years geared toward hunting (houseboat, Airboat, gatortail, and a 20′ CC bay boat.) I found myself enjoying fishing way more than hunting and not utilizing the hunting stuff. Another reason is how the duck hunting has gone down in South La. I was in a family lease since the early 2000’s that bordered the west side of the Wax Lake Delta (Atchafalaya River). We had really good hunting at one time, but the land we leased just isn’t the same. Our ponds became tidal, and the ducks seem to have changed their migration patterns. I focused more on the deer, but that too has changed drastically with subsidence and erosion. The land was harder ground at one time and has since changed to more marsh. This has made the deer hunting less enjoyable. The wax has silted up considerably and restricts the flow, so when the river is high the water backs up in the marsh. I sold all those toys and will be taking delivery on a Haynie 25 mag in the coming months. My wife loves to fish. We’ll be full steam ahead this winter. The only bullets I plan on touching this winter are silver bullets. lmao
