I was down in Baton Rouge at 16. No deer down there then. I went hunting up your way a couple of times and saw many does when it was bucks only.
I finally got my first deer when I was 48 here in my back yard. Actually all the deer I have shot have been in my back yard. I have shot about 25 back there taking 1 or 2 a year to keep the freezer stocked. I walk out there about 4:30 in the afternoon and read a book till a deer steps out.

Farmerjim thats the right time they come around here too, been seeing them everyday, got em named, sausage-hamburger-jerky.
Skeettx,Farmerville is where i was born, grew up in Bossier city, now retired, living on grand parents old home place north top of D’arbone. Armadillo,pine tree, and fire ant farm. Been here since 1990. Hunted in Litro till all went into clubs, yes it is right north east of Marion, close to Ouachita river. Now hunt on back 40 for meat mostly.
My first hunt was in 1958, I was 12 years old and carried a sporterized Arisaka chambered in 6.5 Roberts.

I grew up on a big farm just west of uniontown alabama and was 10 or 11 when I got my first deer,a small doe shot sitting on the deck of a combine with a interarms bolt action 243
I was 23, and most of the time in earlier years of hunting, I hunted local and there were very few deer and I was pretty much learning on my own, Dad was always working.
Well he finally got enough seniority and could get the first week of "buck" season off, and we found a place to stay up in Northern,Pa.
Shot a nice spike at the tail end of the day way back from the road, and it was very dark, by the time they found me and my deer. Rem Model 788 in 243 and 105 grain Speer Round points.
My dad started me off by flinging glass bottles across a concrete slab the oil company had moved a building away from. It was behind our chicken house. Seven years old I suppose. I was supposed to shoot the bottle before it got to the other side and then shoot any piece of glass that was still moving. Sometimes it worked like that. After WW11 in 1945 after things became available in the Sears catalog, Dad ordered a Stevins Single shot 22 for me. The price $7.95. They sent a letter back telling him the price had gone up to $9.95.. He wrote a letter telling them to send the rifle to him collect right away. It was delivered at $11.95. Started hunting rabbits for the table. Every day that I could. Didn't have deer around, so killed first deer at 25 year old. There are deer and hogs everywhere around there now.
12 yrs old, LC Smith double 16 ga. using #1 buck. Yearling buck right on Savannah riverbank where Plant Vogtle is now. 1965. Just yesterday.

1974 I was 23, 30-06 Winchester mod.70. Still the largest bodied deer that I have harvested. 10 point, field dressed over 235 lbs.(as high as the check-in station scale would go) He still hangs on my wall, with my 178lb, 23 point none typical.
