Trail camera photos of a mature buck in Jackson Parish revealed that he was a big deer. The fact that photos only showed him moving at night for the past two years, never showing himself during daylight hours, revealed the buck’s nasty attitude. Thus, members of Two Creeks Hunting Club in Jackson parish hung a moniker on him. They called him Big Nasty.

On December 10, Big Nasty met his maker but came within a crunchy peanut shell of making his get-away.

Schymaya “Shay” Seacrist who works as a Certified Surgical Technologist at St. Francis hospital in Monroe, was preparing to leave her stand that morning and grew tired of the crunch of peanut shells on the floor her dad, George, had left from his time in the stand days prior.

My favorite college football team, the LSU Tigers, have had a tendency this season to play tentatively and sometimes sloppily during the first half of a game. I get aggravated and am sometimes tempted to flip to the Outdoor Channel where hunters almost always get their game.

As the second half kicks off, the Tigers usually come out fired up and do a much better job in the second half. Why? The coaches changed the game plan to fit the situation.

Seasons change and as they do, transitions identified with each season slowly begin taking place. As winter begins losing grip on our world, bits of pale green slowly emerge from tips of branches and tender shoots make their way through dead drab gray of grass on the lawn. The morning chill is replaced by subtle warmth.

The increasing temperatures and full-blown greenery of spring give way to summer with its shimmering heat making waves across the pasture. Air conditioners run full tilt making living conditions bearable.

Autumn follows as leaves on oaks and hickories begin taking on a tired, tinny look as they flutter to the ground. Mornings again take on a more comfortable feel; a light jacket feels right.

Stuff is really starting to happen in the deer woods around our area. Freezers have been cleaned out making room for the fresh tasty venison that will be added. Occasionally, a hunter gets lucky and downs a buck worthy of wall space in the den.
