It sucked because there were a lot of ducks in the air and it was my first time to hunt the lake.
There was so much ice that the ducks would do anything to get to the patches of open water. It was almost like hunting over bait
ah that would be late december of 89.. the second split opener..

One of the coldest winters I can remember was around that time. Ice in the saltwater marshes and a couple inches of snow in the Houma area.

My buddies busted holes in the ice and shot the hell out of green heads right at the old river bridge on hwy 84 that year.

A bobcat managed to sneak up the side of the hill from the bottom behind me and jumped on my arm/shoulder. Needless to say, we were both pretty surprised.
A cousin of one of my best friends had this happen to him last year near Clinton. My buddy said his cousin had to get stitches around his eye from the bobcat.

I was thinking the winter of '84 was the coldest I can remember. Not sure if I have the right year, but my pond was frozen solid in Benton for a couple of weeks. Christmas day, it finally got above freezing.

83 and 89 were the years with the christmas freezes...
83 several duckhunter died getting stuck as the cold from was faster and colder than expected(those that got stuck - got stuck due to water getting pushed out of marsh fast) at least 3 died in manchac.

I knew two of them and one that died near Buras. The one in Buras was a great friend who I went to high school with and was a fraternity brother with. He also dated my first cousin.
That was a shitty Christmas.

Another connection I have with one of the Manchac guys(Patrick Vizard)is that his father worked for my grandfather and his two sons Patrick and Kevin were named after my uncles. Kevin Vizard is the owner of Vizard's restaurant on Magazine Street.

We had 180 acres of woodland that some redbones from another community didn't realize when they made a hunting club out of a big lease from Roy O Martin.
Coming out dad and I were stopped, I had my limit of squirrels with tails hanging out of hunting bag. One asks dad, "Who are you?" Dad calmly says, "I'm the guy whose land you walked through to get here."

Deer hunting in Southern Indiana and was sitting in my stand with my bow. I had been using this stand for about three weeks. A guy walks up under me and to a spot about 25yds in front of me. I yelled down to him and recognized him as someone I went to school with. He took off. I then noticed where he was standing was about hundred pot plants. I cut the tops off of everyone of them and raided what else was good on the plants since they were a little immature. i can not believe I had been sitting there all those days and never noticed it before. Happy times.

I was squirrel hunting on a small wma near Amite last year. Sittin on a stump by a big oak, waiting for something to move. I look across this clearing and about 100 yards away is some big ole guy in coveralls staring at me. Didn't have a gun, and there weren't any loggers out or farms nearby. Kinda creepy. I looked back at the tree, and when I turned back, he was gone.

Buddy and I were hunting near their camp behind Tidewater in Galliano. We shot a few birds and my buddy went out to get the birds. Then a front came through. Was freaking crazy. In a few minutes, the wind was blowing 20+ and was raining and freezing cold. Well he never makes his way back to the blind. He ends up across the pond on the marsh. He manages the walk on the marsh with the pirogue to the levee and get back to the camp. About two hours after, his grandpa comes get my arse. I was freezing, and had to lay down at the camp with 5 blankets and heaters around me. Hypothermia was setting in.
