Who's going hunting?

And check out this neat story in the NYT about it LINK

The story is old, but everyone is still off in VP today, and the whole parish might get off now for all I know.

quote:

Ville Platte High School shut down at noon on Friday. Sacred Heart High School did not open at all. Friday night schoolboy football - a consuming passion in this Cajun prairie town of 9,000 - was pushed back to Thursday night this week. Friday, instead, was a day for preparing, for loading pickup trucks with guns, pots, stoves, generators and all-terrain vehicles, and for heading into the woods.

I cannot fricking wait to go convert little fuzzy helpless animals into deliciousness.

I'm so happy right now I could pee

Times are changing! Public schools are open today, parochial school is closed. The parish was pressured into not taking "squirrel day" off so they changed it to "budget day" and now have stopped the long time tradition.

every time I have been squirrel hunting I just bring myself and a 22 or pellet gun. Seems sensationalized IMHO

Not true. Only Sacred Heart was closed. All the public schools were open.

That was changed a few years back. There used to be a Superintendant who was a squirrel hunter. L. Broussard. He enacted that 1/2 day back in the 80's or early 90's. Made Paul Harvey.
