Doug Pederson. No kidding no fooling. Won a NC as a player (UL Monroe/Northeast LA), won a SB as a player (backup to Favre at GB), won a SB as a HC (Lions), learned as Andy Reid’s OC. Solid Christian and family values so there will be no Kiffen moments with coeds or Freeze moments with “escorts” or Orgeron moments with pictures in bed with a girl half his age. Don’t be shocked.
Either Mike Anderson's North or Hooters in Newellton are good

I do but taking the kids crabbing will be a one time thing and I think staying on the bank will be safer and easier, especially when they get tired and bored!

Lake Charles Area Crabbing
Posted by Bowhunter on 7/7/19 at 6:30 am
Have friends coming from Wisconsin in a few weeks with 3 kids aged 6-10. They've never been crabbing and I'm thinking that might be a fun activity for the kids. Can anybody give me some ideas on where to take them in the Lake Charles area?
Les just pulled a slick one. LSU owed him $6.5 million, to be reduced by any salary he would make if he gets another HC job. He settled for a one time payment of $1.5 million. He’s about to be named HC at Kansas for $6.5 million. He snookered Alleva out of $1.5 million. Poor old dumb Les. Alleva never saw it coming
re: Alabama Fans with NO connection to Alabama

Here's good example. I have an ex-brother in law who probably couldn't find Tuscaloosa on a map but he wears an Alabama class ring. Dude went in the Army right out of high school and has never attended one college class, but he wears a class ring with a red A on the stone. It's not even funny.
1967-1972. Got into any athletic event with student i.d. Got married in '72, wife was not a student andt she got a free spouse i.d. But we paid a non-optional athletic fee of $60/semester that went to $90 in '70 or '71. Seating was first come first grab. Seems like I remember "date" tickets that we could get for non-student dates that were either free or dirt cheap. Old fart here reminiscing.
What's a hyperpole?

Awesome. Thanks
You can try spraying but I really don't think it will do any good. The adults have already migrated from the first tree and if they landed in some of your other trees they've already laid their eggs, and it's not possible to get an insecticide under the bark where the eggs and larvae are. Insecticides have never worked effectively on bark beetles. To protect a tree you would have to soak it from top to bottom to repeal the adults as they migrate to a new tree to mate and lay eggs. I'm sorry...
One poster said bark beetles start at the top of a tree. Not so. Each species of bark beetle tend to start at a different height on a tree, but a tree dies from the top down due to the lack of moisture and nutrients hits the top first. Once the top starts turning the tree is dead and doesn't know it yet

Pretty sure it's Ips. Southern pine beetle (the bad one) acts and looks similar but they make "S" shape galleries and their populations tend to explode when they get going. Ips typically will kill a tree or two and fade out. The grub is a sawyer larvae, probably ambrosia beetle. When they move in it's too late to save the tree no matter what you do. Cut the tree down, burn it if you can and move on.
Some questions:
Can you peel some bark off to see the galleries (tunnels) the beetles are making in the cambium (the first white layer under the bark)? If you can, post a pic. Different beetles make different galleries...one way to I.d. them
Are there gobs of resin on the bark that look like chewed gum?
Is there sawdust at the base of the tree?
All these are clues to identify what you've got. I'm a forester with 2 degrees and 40 years experience

re: Best Game Camera
Posted by Bowhunter on 9/21/18 at 7:48 pm to Palo Gaucho
Absolute best is Reconyx, but they're very pricey ($600). I've had good success with Busnells, but use Covert cell cameras on my place in Texas. Have 4 out now and it's very convenient to have pics texted from 450 miles away. Cost about $400/camera and $40/month for 4 to text or email pics.

Serious question: what's up with Giles? Has what, 2 receptions in 3 games.

Thanks for your comments. Hope you guys win out the rest of the way. I've always liked Richt but he seems to have lost intensity and focus. Hopefully he'll get his mojo back!
re: B.R. reporter - LSU's season on the brink grows more precarious
Posted by Bowhunter on 8/15/18 at 12:30 pm to TrueTigerTale
Does anybody realize that LN hasn't played in a competitive football game since he was a sophomore in high school? I don't know for certain if or how many games he played his last 2 years but seems I recall reading that it was zero or very few. For him to start SEC games with that level of experience would be similar to a PGA golfer winning a tournament after not playing for 3 years...not gonna happen. Sorry, but if he was ever going to get meaningful playing time as LSU's QB it wasn't going to happen until his 3rd or 4th or 5th year in the system. Cool the panic attack and wish him well at McNeese or Northwestern.

You're a Yale grad? Do they teach spelling? Grammar? Punctuation? Geeze dude, you're repping your Ivy League school well. Now get off this board and quit pretending to be somebody you're not.

re: The addition of Kevin Faulk is huge to the program.
Posted by Bowhunter on 1/27/18 at 10:21 am to The First Cut
Dont miss the point of this hire. Faulk will be the Director of Player Development...he will work behind the scenes helping young men with maturity, classwork, coaching them in off the field behavior and planning for their futures. He brings a TON of credibility and life experience to this role. Young men, regardless of their position or talent level, will be wise to listen to his guidance because he's been there and done that. This is a smart move by O. There's much more to a high class program than what happens on the field, and KF will be a huge help building character and life lessons to young guys who may have never had a good mentor.
By the way I don't buy ANY plants at places like Lowe's or Home Depot. You have no idea where the plants came from. I've had very poor results with plants from the big box stores. Go with local when you can.
Lots of varieties of fruit trees because folks graft one variety on another, cross-pollinate, etc. The Hamlin has been around for 100 years I think. My understanding is that the Louisiana Sweet was developed by LSU. Could be the same but I'm not sure.

My Louisiana sweet is probably 12 ft tall and 10 ft wide
Guess I should have said that I prune mine in the spring before they bloom to keep the size manageable

I bought my Louisiana Sweet at Stines in DeRidder. They should be available at most nurseries.
I put a Primos ground blind over it...very easy. If it's going to get really cold I run an extension cord and hang a light it it
Fully grown they're about 6 feet. Very easy to pick the oranges...don't need a ladder. They're short and bushy.
