Deer and duck hunts across northeast Louisiana dominate week
In northeast Louisiana many duck blinds reported sparse sightings as cold, bluebird weather pushed ducks away though Eddie Holmes and Bert Williams did bag limits. Quail hunting opened with good coveys in Franklin parish while deer hunting produced notable totals across Morehouse, Tensas, Madison and Catahoula regions, including a 224 pound trophy in Tensas and a 12 year old’s spike buck in West Monroe. Squirrel and rabbit hunts yielded scattered success and Vera Chambers offered a venison recipe, reflecting local outdoor life and veteran journalism in the season’s headlines.
