Ha! We may be the same person. This was my exact experience, early 1990s. Scout was my guide also. Inheard that he passsed away quite a few years ago. Bulldozed a button buck at 30 yards with a 30-06 for my first deer. ?? I returned there just one other time, either the next year or year after. Bonus: Remington had some ammo research guys there at the same time, testing new loads. I left there with a box of 12 ga. slugs and some 140gr, 270win extended range.

I’d guess we went there around 1989 to 1991 or so. Scout drove us to our stands in an old 4wd Bronco. Nice man. He’s drive through an area and point stuff out and talk in a deep slow voice. He knew every deer on that property. I layed over a 95 lb doe for my 1st kill ever. Then the next year I shot a 4pt. Then the next year an 6pt. All close shots with a 300 win mag. They were well set up for up close & personal shots. I do t know why I haven’t gone back all these years. I may do that next season.

the LSU facility is top notch

---

We must have different standards for swimming facilities. The Nat at LSU is terrible. The pool is fast, the facility sucks. It’s embarrassing. Get out and see some real top notch facilities (UGA, Tenn, UT, Ga Tech, Mizzou, Minn, Indy… pretty much any high school in Texas or Indiana, etc). It’ll blow your mind. Even Tupelo, MS has a half decent facility.

SPAR isn’t much better though. Glad I only have to attend 1 more meet there in February. And then back to The Nat for a week of swamp arse in the summer.

Why does Sulphur get to host the meet every year over LSU's nat?

---

Rick Bishop (LSU head coach) told me he tried to get the meet moved to LSU, but LHSAA didn’t want any part of that. They have some kind of deal with SPAR.

There’s talk of a facility to be built on the west bank. But I’ll be really surprised if it ever materializes.

Don’t know who would want that house. I’m sure it’s tainted with some kind of gris gris, bad mojo, whatever.

Rob Pirello spent all of 2023 and 2024 telling us that 100+ days were going to be the new norm. Alarmist…

Same cat was seen in Terrebonne parish today as well. Damn big gato negro certainly is covering some ground quickly.

Cats…
Pedro eats fried chicken (Rouses is his go-to fried chicken), steak, pork chop, & fish like it’s going out of style. Pedro ate a pile of baked red snapper last night.

Waffles will fight you for any kind of sweets with icing. He’s especially nuts for almond (wedding) cake.

Other 2 cats (Lucy & Pablo) aren’t remotely interested in anything for human consumption.

Been watching his journey since the start. I happen to be in Tupelo for a swim meet and went over to Fulton Lock and cheered him on there yesterday. He’s a tough dude.
