Now they’ve gone and d(r)one it….

We remember
God Bless America. May we never forget or take for granted what makes our country great. And may we never let the forces of darkness, of wrong, of evil, or of apathy, overcome it. Take time today to remember those who died, those who were heroes and their families and the cowardly, brutal attack on … Continue reading

Catching fish takes time, patience and most of all, practice. Same thing with living a Christian life. When you … Continue reading

Hats off to the Long Spurs!
There are large numbers of hunting and fishing clubs, especially in states like Louisiana where the outdoors is such a big part of our life. But you’ll be hard pressed to find a group that not only loves it’s sport, but takes time to give back and get young people involved as the Union Long … Continue reading
