I commute Mid-city to Plaquemine every day. 25 minutes in the morning is pretty consistent if you leave by 6:30. Drive home averages 65-75 minutes. Mondays are usually lighter ~45 minutes. Thursdays are usually the worst. Bad rain at quitting time or wrecks will push it to 2 hours. That is usuall...

Running Creek Ranch also opened recently in Poplarville, MS. Hawk who used to set targets at GOL is the course manager so the targets should be great. Looks nice but haven't been yet. Covey Rise is the overall best in LA at the moment. Their membership is reasonable, $65/month which includes 200 ...

Agreed, I was a member at High Point for a year when I lived in Belle Chasse. If two thirds of the machines worked in a day it was cause for celebration. But if you live on the West Bank it was better than driving to Houma or Covey rise for a quick practice round....
Heard the manager at the Siegen location say Airline flooded while shopping Saturday morning. Probably a roof leak....

re: Left handed shotgun

I shoot left handed and have a standard black SBE2 for hunting and sporting clays when I was getting started. Someone offered to trade a LH camo SBE for it so I tried it out for a couple weeks and didn't like it. It wasn't 100% LH. I think it was the release that was still on the right side. I felt...
Have not been but I have heard good things about the Meadows Gun Club in Forsythe, GA. Santa Rosa Shooting Center near Pensacola is a good stop depending on your route. It is a well taken care of course to keep in your back pocket for beach trips. I believe they added a second course since I went...

re: Buying My First Over Under

I have shot at a lot of registered sporting clay shoots over the past few years and have noticed only one person shooting an 828U. Some of those guys spend a lot of money trying out new shotguns. If they were up to par with Beretta or Browning O/U's at the same price there would be a lot more out a...

My grandfather took me fishing with Troy Robichaux with Saltwater Guide Service out of Golden Meadow when I was little. He was great with me, I caught a couple reds and was hooked for life. He is still good with my little cousins 20 years later. I highly recommend him....
Armadillo, made holes like this all over my fence....

re: Tell me about Belle Chasse

Just moved back to BR after living in Belle Chasse for 2.5 years. I Agree with Htran's list. Crime is low and there is a lot more green space than the rest of the westbank. It seems like a sheriff's officer lives on almost every block. When my wife got in a fender bender in town 8 cars responded ...
Rent a houseboat in Venice Marina. If there are one or two boats in the party just park them at the houseboat. Lots of charter options for those interested....
State sporting clays shoot was at Covey Rise this weekend. A lot of regulars (including the new owner) were there this weekend. ...
I don't think I have seen it mentioned yet, but Hunters Run will send you a pro-rated refund if you ask for it. I got mine a couple weeks ago....

We have hundreds year round in the treated water ponds at work. Sometimes thousands, and they will make a literal pile of ducklings....
