They're here on lake verret by the hundreds. I have a corner of the lake close to my camp where hundreds roost and/or just hang out during the day among the eagles in the flooded cypress that line the lake.
When I need a quick mess of these "sweet cats" I just ease up to these cypress trees and chunk a nightcrawler at the base of these trees and hang on. Caution: Don't look up. Lol. Not really. They are very wary birds. They just fly to a nearby tree and bait that hole. SLIP
