Everything was going just fine until I felt some heartburn and a little acid indigestion. It’s rare for me but not unheard of. Then things got worse — and in a couple of days I was in the emergency room and pretty sick. […]
Imagine our surprise when we walked into Janelle Folse’s Raceland home and she declared that she was going to prepare a Cajun stromboli.[…]
Well, we survived another Deep South summer, although this one seemed to be more wet at times than hot. My hope is that, in spite of the heat and humidity, you have long since been visiting your hunting properties mowing, spraying, repairing and building stands, supplemental feeding, and working trail cameras.[…]
The Revo Inshore has been continuously refined since its introduction several years ago, and it’s better than ever. Packing a whopping 24 pounds of Carbon Matrix drag, it will beat whatever swims in the coastal salt.[…]
How: Try for trout, reds and flounder at the MRGO rock dam. Use popping corks with live bait or plastic tails near the rocks. Fish flounder away from the rocks on the north side using Gulp or live shrimp on a quarter-ounce jighead.[…]
October is arguably the best month of the year for coastal Louisiana kayak fishermen. The weather is mild, with predictable patterns, and the fish are hungry.[…]

It is often said that Cajuns eat anything. This picturesque pair may be poster boys for that adage. Their Cajun accents were so thick that they could have been cut with a knife and served on a cheese tray.[…]
A few seasons ago, I had a great opportunity during bow season. I was hunting in an area where I had seen several nice deer the previous season, so I set up a bow stand there. One evening, just as light was fading, a very nice (for the area) 8-point stepped out into the newly-planted food plot at 35 yards.[…]
The humble choupique evolved during the Triassic Period, over 150 million years ago. Then, dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Triceratops roamed the land. […]
Kenny Meliet is a member of the deer hunting club that I am in, and has taken a deer on the opening day of bow season two of the last three years. The one taken last year was a 9-point buck taken on Oct. 1 at 9:28 a.m.[…]
