For a Louisiana buck that’s a really good one! As far as shooting that good buck on Louisiana public land that’s fantastic. Those Louisiana public land deer are scared of their own reflection. Them deer have seen it all.

Amazing what sneaks around on public land, just never know what you are going to see. That is a super nice deer. Congratulations.

Was that at Tensas? I work in Delhi but have never hunted the refuge. No I did hunt the refuge for the primitive and lottery hunts this year. Saw deer every hunt except 1. Shot a big doe that was it. 2 of my buddies have killed good bucks there this year. One during primitive and one with the bow. Saw a few sure enough studs come out of there too. Down side is lots and lots of people.

Big 8 pt., lots of tall and mass. Looks more like a delta deer than a piney woods deer.
Did you score him? Eight points won't score as good as they look and that one will make a nice wall hanger.
Did you check teeth for age, weight?
Congratulations on a great hunt and thanks for sharing.
DF DF where I hunt has a good mixture of pines and hardwoods. Lots and lots of acorns. No ag land though. He scored 141 3/8’. 170lbs with 0 fat on him anywhere. I assume he had been chasing pretty hard. As for age, taxidermist said either 3.5 or 4.5.

He was probably running does, thus used up all his extra fat. DF

Bob,
That Sako is a hard core proven killing machine! Since I got it from you I’ve killed 5 plains game animals in S. Africa, 7 pigs and 5 whitetails with it! And it is very accurate. I couldn’t be happier with it. Thanks again!
Ohh and I very well may take it to Alabama with me in a few weeks.

Claiborne Parish has had some really good bucks come from there over the years. Middle Fork heads up in the parish, Big Corney, and D'Arbonne both run thru it with lakes on both of them. Kisatchie National Forest has two places in the parish that are opened for public hunting.
Really good deer!
