Here's the pirogue pronunciations I've heard. It seems to be based on whether you were raised North of I-10 or South of it. Most of my buddies have webbed toes from being raised South of I-10. LOL Pee Rog Pee Row Pee Rogue Peer Rog Peer Row Peer Rogue

Dale is doing an incredible job teaching others about traditional Louisiana waterfowling from homemade decoys, calls, dugout pirogue, duck storage barrel, lanyards, etc. Very cool stuff. I fell in love with Louisiana 24 years ago. I gave up my mud motor several years ago and now hunt almost...

In Louisiana every jon boat seems to be called a bateau. Great looking little rig you got there regardless!!!

That looks like a gorgeous place for Woody ducklings! I manage 40 or so boxes down here in SC. I took over and rehabbed many 25-30 year old cypress boxes that are still cranking out ducklings. Fun winter-summer project and due to early and late nesters I get 2-3 broods out if I clean nest...

A tragedy that could have been avoided. Horrible thought.

I'm no computer guru but I did see that after you commented on the post.

Break the dam in the afternoon, shoot the beavers as they try to build back that night. Those suckers will bury a recorded sound of running water in an attempt to make it stop. Worlds best engineers. I'd use a Q beam and a shotgun with 00 buckshot.

If an inflatable life jacket fails there is nothing to fall back on to save your life. If you're unconscious the manual override on the inflatable is worthless too. In an automobile, if your brakes fail, you hopefully still have a seatbelt and airbags. I wear a commercial life vest, whistle...

Surface drive mud boats ARE a problem, loud or not, they are destroying public waterfowl opportunities. Folks up North don’t have near the number of mud boats, yet This was last week in S La. I owned a longtail and a homemade straight drive mud motor. I quit using it about 5 yrs ago. 4...

My son sold a Berretta A300 to a young fella here in SC. He went and got it cerakoted. A week later he capsized in his Gheenoe running a lake in Alabama (I'm assuming Guntersville). The gun is at the bottom of the lake but he survived. I told him guns can be replaced, he can't be. God...

I've hunted S Louisiana for nearly 25 years. Surface drives made their appearance in 2003 or 4. I am 100% for a ban on surface driven mud boats. The use of surface drive mud boats has destroyed all public waterfowling opportunity down South. As someone mentioned above, banning them would...

If it's possible, heat it up a bit with a torch and then try to drive it or soak in Kroil. Cooling will suck Kroil up into the stuck part. Was the gun used in saltwater? Did someone add red threadlocker to the pin before last install? Might need to just add heat and then punch it.

Robins migrate from up North, a good sign that ducks should be following them soon. I'm near Lake Murray here in Chapin SC. I maintain around 40 + duck boxes, hopefully a few of our Wood Ducks head down your way this Fall.

Those look like a common type of bird egg, not duck eggs. Not sure what State you live in but in SC I would toss them when cleaning out my nesting boxes. I get different species of birds, owls and even squirrels using my nesting boxes on occasion. (jump from trees to reach the boxes and over...

County Line Boats makes the most versatile looking marsh boat. Take a look at the Four Rivers EBADS boats. I have a refuge runner. Great marsh boat. Wide, stable and low profile only rated for 2 hp. I've hunted 2 men and a dog from it. Carstens Canvasback or Bluebill might work for...

Big weather coming tomorrow night. 45 knot winds and rain. Duck weather. LOL My buddies in SWLA have a 3 1/2 foot rain deficit. 8 inches of rain will get soaked up in the parched cracked marsh I saw in pictures. It's horrible.

The aerial video I saw from LDWF is depressing along with the flyover survey. I'm in Venice all week, we are finding a few birds but it's pitiful. Saltwater intrusion is destroying our marsh.

12 hour road trip, 1 hour boat ride to camp, hunting and fishing this pup is my sidekick, my ride or die buddy. This is his 5th season. He is a retrieving machine and the best hunting and fishing partner I've ever had. I lost a yellow lab in 2018. He lived nearly 14 years. It might...

I wonder if a rock guard on a motor like I made would work to run rocky rivers? Here's the same boat / motor running a mix of sand / mud in S. La. No skeg, no cav plate so you have to "yaw" it a bit to keep her going straight but she was just about unstoppable, albeit a bit dangerous to...
