Duck hunting potholes
Virtually all of the waterfowl hunting done in Tallahatchie County with Catfish Flautt is over small water-holding areas and assorted water resources duck hunters have always referred to as potholes. These “open waters” are not lake size by any means; potholes can be everything from a small depression in a field of corn or soybeans to a low-lying area along a creek, bayou or slough. […]

Tallahatchie County topgraphy

The shotgun evolution
Duck guns used to be a big deal — really. In the old days, it was not all that uncommon to run into a salty waterfowler toting a 12-pound 10-gauge double slung over one shoulder along with a huge bag of real wood decoys over the other. Back in the way back day, it was still possible to catch a goose hunter carrying an 8-gauge, but by the 1950s, those were mostly long gone with modern duck guns taking over the scene. […]

Midnight at the marina
It is midnight at the marina where your boat is moored, and water is slowly rising in its bilge. The float switch turns on your automatic bilge pump, but it can’t stay ahead of the leak and the water level creeps upward. By the time you return to the slip, your boat will be hanging by its mooring lines — if you’re lucky! […]
Deer Hunting
Pressure Cooker

Water, Water Everywhere: Hunting deer in the wet stuff
As winter approaches the Magnolia State, weather conditions usually turn nasty. Duck hunters love late winter because it’s typically when we get the coldest weather and plenty of water. Deer hunters like it cold, too, because the deer move more in search of food. […]
