re: Maurepas Swamp Duck Hunting

Definitely used to be a thing. Ive heard many old timers share the stories.

Some of the stories I hear from my Paw Paw and friends grandparents make me sick.
Like one about how Ponchatoula Creek used to have crystal clear spring water and was lined with cypress trees and there were numerous sacalait to be caught.

Or simply the stories of how in the 70's and 80's when you could walk thru the Manchac swamp in tennis shoes because it was mostly all hard and dry land
