Chit!!

I knew we had more respectable deer than some people give us credit, but I've got to see more
proof on this one! The nice Louisiana bucks I have seen have a lot of body weight and antler
mass (palmated), but just don't usually stack up with the big boys in the width/length/tine
count area (think nasty swamp bucks).

I've seen that the areas around the big river bottoms (Atchafalaya and Mississippi) produce some
dandy bucks. Also, a lot of people don't know, but the deer were basically extinct in a lot of areas
of La. and they reintroduced deer from Wisconsin into Thistlewaite WMA (in St. Landry Parish - central La).
They call them royal blue something or other (maybe you Wisc. people can elighten me).
I wouldn't be surprised if this was killed in Avoyelles, one of the central/eastern river parishes,
or the Atchafalaya basin.

I guess La. boys can dream too.
