G&H just opened a new more focused hunting/gun store in crowley

I didn't realize that. Hadn't been to Gueydan in a while but their selection of duck hunting gear blew me away.

Great store. Stopped in day after Thanksgiving, was a madhouse.

Wanting to go put my eyes on some duck/deer hunting clothing before purchasing. Thinking along the lines of places like G&H in Gueydan, Simmons in Bastrop or Spotted Dog in Columbia. What are some others you all know of?

I have one of these at the house.
Mostly use it for smoked Old Fashioneds but surely there are other cocktails that would be worth trying smoked.

Recreation.gov NP booking

Posted by DeepwaterGoMer on 1/11/23 at 9:05 pm

Was attempting to book a tent campsite for July in RMNP Aspenglen Campground. Have done this a few times and understand how competitive it is to get a site. I hit book now at 09:00:00 and still didn't get the reservation. Is it possible someone at the site or park had it already booked prior to becoming available to general public at the release time?

re: How nice of a place is Jennings, Louisiana to live in?

Posted by DeepwaterGoMer on 11/23/22 at 8:26 am to Toucan Sam

JHS grad here. It's a decent small town but why Jennings specifically? There are areas nearby with much better schools, e.g., Hathaway, Iota.

ETA Their school buildings are great. High school is only about 20 years old and they just built a new k-8th. It's the demographics of Jennings that's the problem.

Link to study supporting this wild theory?

Pure supposition from a keen observer of the human condition. There surely is some enhanced propensity to suggestion that makes people more willing to get the covid vaccine. Right along with that would be doing or believing other things that go against nature, e.g., self-sterilization, trust in government, ceding of natural rights, approval of gay agenda, identity guilt, etc.

Rephrase: Doing something that makes sense on the surface without considering the deeper impact, or worse, understanding the true consequences and doing it anyway.
