EP 40. Dale Bordelon, More Bayou Country Traditions Duck Season Somewhere

Dale Bordelon is a gifted storyteller from Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. In last week's episode (Episode 39, August 3, 2020), Dale described gathering various local raw materials from nearby swamps and hand-making his Louisiana cane calls and other tools-of-the-trade as tribute to Louisiana's traditional waterfowling culture. In today's episode, we crawl belly deep into tepid, tea-colored swampwater as he describes trapping dinosaur-like alligator snappers the size of chest freezers, catching monster alligators, shooting old shotguns, blending duck blinds perfectly into the environment and more.  Where'd Dale get the twine to wrap a special cane call he uses? How'd he catch those big, old snappers, what'd he do with them, and why did he quit? How does he make sure to catch BIG gators?  What's it like shooting pump shotguns from his grandad's era? It's another great episode depicting Louisiana duck hunting culture.
