. Trust me he is not trying and he is 100% as throwed off as he appears. Sure some and I stress some of the stuff exaggerated. But Shelby is not, he is 100% real.

Crazy or not he attracts viewers.

He is playing himself while supplementing his income.

. I know it is hard to believe but it is no act. He tells people he in the CIA and other crazy stuff. Claims there is a giant monkey that lives in the middle of the Bedico swamp. He is kind of a legend around here. As long as I can ever remember I have heard stories about the crazy shite he has done. He literally doesn’t even own a car. When he has to go to the store he takes his fork lift or he has a side by side he drives on the hwy. If you want to meet him just drive to the end of Lees landing road to the boat launch. His place is right there.

Thanks. I’d like to help him find the Bougaloosa (sp?) log raft.

This doesn't seem AS crazy as it sounds, since the Tulane Primate facility is in Covington, but I would like to see the monster swamp monkey of Bedico myself before rushing to judgment.

. I wouldn’t be too worried. None of the other Stanga’s act like him.

So the media is exposing a man that everyone that knows him says is crazy and apparently has some mental issues and the media won’t stop until he hurts or kills someone in exchange for ratings?

Seems about right.

Just like they destroyed the Robinsons.

I heard from a reliable source that Shelby would be a millionaire if not for his cocaine habit

Live look at our state right there.

I also love the fact that hand cannon is just laying there ready to fall onto the road.

He doesn’t have mental issues. He is just crazy. He is just one of them people that has no boundaries, no filter and no fear of anything.

I’ve grown up with and still hang out/Hunt with this guy on a regular basis and he says that Shelby is the real deal.

Doesn't he have a niece that's pretty hot. I remember there was a girl on the show that looked good.

Probably true. Stays broke.

Whatever he gets paid know your Louisiana tax dollars through the Louisiana Film Welfare program are paying 35% of his salary and expenses.

It's been a while since I've seen him. I'll have to get some stories from my dad. He knew him quite well, he did some work for us on our land/house when we were building in Bedico.
