I have been a practicing attorney for almost 50 years and have never found the need to use either "Doctor" or "Esquire". One would have to be a pompous :moon: to do so. Now, I am proud of the J.D. earned at LSU back before the law school got kinder and not so afraid to flunk out those who did not p...
My exact deal. Learned to shoot left handed at an early age. Shoot rifles and shotguns left, pistols use right hand, but center up and use left eye. ...

Yep, but I know where Highway 653 is and know a lot of people that live there. Just had never heard of the local name for that area. ...

Lived in Lafourche Parish most of my life and never heard of Butch Hill. Where is that?...

re: Little Lake Hunting Club in Lafitte

Posted by byutgr on 11/13/23 at 4:06 pm
Used to be comprised of a lot of blue bloods from New Orleans, and a very old duck club. I was invited to hunt there several times by a member, but Katrina destroyed the then clubhouse and I don't know much about it now, as I have not been in years. The hunting was great at one time, but I imagine t...

A .22 is more than enough to make an armadillo jump higher than you ever thought possible. ...

re: Fishing Private Docks

Posted by byutgr on 7/6/23 at 4:04 pm
As one who has owned property with a dock on Grand Isle for many years, I certainly understand that the public has a right to fish in any public waters. Now, those of us who own those docks have spent considerable time, effort and money to build, maintain, repair those docks. If you don't own one in...

re: Golf cart for neighborhood/hunting

Posted by byutgr on 5/24/23 at 4:06 pm
I have a 48 volt Club Car that I use for both. Now my longest drive to a stand is about 1.25 miles, and no hills. What we like about using electric golf carts is that they are quiet, and our theory is that they will not spook the deer if they are in the food plot. The cart is lifted and has large, m...
You need to find an older Boston Whaler Montauk and do a restoration on it. There are a lot on You Tube that you could review. Great work by a skilled craftsman. ...

Same here in south Louisiana. Had more deer on camera last night than the last two weeks. Also had three bucks show up that I have not seen in a while. Now, will we see them in the day time???...

re: Shooters ear

Posted by byutgr on 12/5/22 at 4:37 pm
At 73, and many years of duck hunting without hearing protection, I now wear hearing aids. Now, I deer hunt and never shoot a rifle or pistols without hearing pro. The hearing aids help somewhat with the tinnitus, although as I type this I hear the ringing. The good news about hearing loss is that y...

List, I have the Moultrie Edge, and it takes great pics. I like the fact that I do not need a SD card. Make sure that you tilt it towards the ground a bit. I had mine flush on a tree and I was missing a lot of pics that should have been triggered by motion. Also, I recommend the standard unlimited p...

re: Grand Isle Tent Camping

Posted by byutgr on 10/13/22 at 5:43 am
There are not many policemen on the Island, and they are not able to be at all places at one time. It is just like the golf cart ordinance, and no cars or trucks on the beach ordinance. There will always be violations that are not caught by the police. Although most folks would pick up their trash a...

We have accordion shutters on all of our windows and our entrance door on our camp in the Chenier on Grand Isle. The door and all of the windows have held in all of the hurricanes since we built it after Katrina, including Ida. I highly recommend. ...

Be careful with those IQF shrimp. They are flash frozen in brine and tend to be salty. Don’t add salt if boiling, just use liquid crab boil. ...
