I have never seen a quiet type Cajun in my life. :)
Oh my. Frogging.
My husband used to love that.
Thanks.
First Sargent Boudreaux asked me, “You know da difference between a coon ass and a jackass? Da Sabine river.”
Hard to tell if one of those southern cockroaches gets in there with the dark ones; eh?
I remember that movie. I remember it because I was in NO for my first and only Mardi Gras in 1983, and we had returned from Bourbon Street, and the guy we were visiting did not have cable, and we were looking for something to watch, and ThAT movie was on, and I just looked at them and said “What ARE you people?”
You got REARED in NW Floydada?
Ewww.
Watched episode 1&2, it’s a hit. Is a .22 the only legal weapon to make the kill or is it to preserve the skin? Way more testosterone needed than back when I was jugging for Snappers. WooHoo!
Even Mrs S watched it with me, sorta...
I’ll give it a watch later. What skin are you talking about saving with a .22?
Alley Gator Skin.
They hunt them but only sell them for only $150 an unskinned hide. Some foo-foo European fashion designer came on the hunt and said an alligator jacket sells for $40,000 retail. Being formally in that business that even shocking to me.
The fact that they are shooting alligators with a .22 blows my mind. And it’s legal for that large of game? I didn’t think you could hunt anything with a .22 except squirrels maybe, which I don’t, so what do I know?
I found an awesome blog that covers the show week to week and also has other odds and ends about the show like the red tape you have to go through to become an alligator hunter and about the “swamp men” themselves and some other things you might find amusing. I love the show and thought I would share.
