Thank you all for the replies. Yeah, I kind of figured that I would have to drive a bit from the Big Easy but I'm used to it being where I live now I sort of have to do the same thing now and I have no problem whatsoever going deep into the woods to get to my hunting spot. You guys gave me some good info and I do appreciate it and I look forward to the hunting and hopefully maybe even running into a few of you down there! Hopefully it will be this year but more than likely I will have to wait until next year due to the fact that we work non-stop in the Marines but I do get some paid vacation that I plan on using for my hunts. Other than hunting (I can't believe I just said that) I also can't wait to check out the Gulf of Mexico and catch some sea food!
