Those Boys From Louisiana
Now we’re having some fun. Hunting seasons are full blown, and a blast of good old, cold Arctic air that’s colder than a witch’s you-know-what just blew through! It’s time to bundle up and go hunting. We’re on the eve of duck and goose season openings, and all is well. There should be enough »
