We got a yellow lab from Lazy Bar M Retrievers out of Texas right at two years ago. We couldn't be happier with him. Chip is a great guy and produces some fine dogs.

Magnum Outboards in Harvey is about the only people working on Evinrudes right now.
We went last February. I got a guide for me and my 7 year old. It was awesome. We caught our limit in about two hours. It would have been sooner, but it was way more finesse than we are used to. My son kept trying to set the hook like it was a 5lb bass and kept missing the fish. We fished around the small dam early, and then moved down to the "beach area". That's where we did the best. We used small circle hooks with small plastic worms. If you get a guide, Steve Branson is the guy.

Same thing with my .44. It always hangs up on the last round in the mag. It was sent in twice and they "changed the springs". Sits in the safe now. They are cool, but not worth the price. Especially the price of ammo.
Cutting trees is a dangerous job. High probability of some sort of accident on your property. I wouldn't give his insurance or your insurance any way to not cover if something were to happen. Not having a proper license would be a good reason not to cover damages/accidents.

Bayoushooter has a very good marketplace for trading and selling guns. Most of which is local to south Louisiana.

I've been wondering what is going on behind the doors at Sig. They lost two of their long time team shooters recently. Both of them had their own signature lines of pistols.

Afroman is a national treasure.

How’s the range (and the clientele)?


The range itself is awesome for an indoor range. The clientele is hit or miss. Sometimes they have some draco pistol shooters with a muzzle break next to you and it's miserable. Other times nobody is in there it's nice.
Apocalypse sports in Ponchatoula is awesome. One of the best selections around along with an indoor range.
Not sure about big game, but when we did a dove hunt it was flat rate for everything (food, lodging, transportation, licenses, gun rentals, and alcohol). The only additional fee was for shells and tip which was calculated at the end of the trip.

It was a hell of a time and I would for sure do it again with the same outfitter. Only thing I didn't like was they advertised 2hrs from the airport and it was 4.5hrs. Also, only one person out of the whole outfitter spoke a little English so there was a language barrier. I wish I would have brushed up on my Spanish.

Not sure if anyone is looking to buy Silencerco right now, but Apocalypse sports in Ponchatoula is having a pretty good deal on Silencerco cans right now. Most of them are $150.00+ off.

I had them take over my shop. I tried everything and the only thing that really worked was the old style big snap traps baited with peanut butter. Between 5 traps I killed 26 rats.
I had a good experience with Drake Morvant with Victory Bay Charters out of Slidell.

Lots of this. I brought my two young boys last year. It was ok at best. They loved the dog jumping competition.

I keep my CC with me daily, and bring a Sig Rattler LT in a locked bag on road trips.
Any time I go to Sal and Judy's I hurt myself.
Apocalypse's range is really nice. Staff is nice too. Only complaint is there always seems to have that one guy shooting a draco with a muzzle break that makes it miserable.

Second this. They have two boats. I went with Brandon with two 5 year olds. He was extremely accommodating with the kids, and put us on the fish.
