Hunting me some turkeys

Reading the entry about the chicken/duck/turkey deal got me to thinking about a real Louisiana tradition. It’s the annual turkey hunt in Acadiana. Have you ever seen pictures or video of this deal? I’ve never been but usually it’s a tradition for local TV to have something on turkey day about the event.

Short version: It’s a bunch of rednecks/cajuns who have been drinking all morning getting ready for the hunt. Then you have about 20 of these characters falling all over each other trying to catch a gobbling bird. It’s always great for a chuckle after stuffing myself to the point of exploding like a tick.

So my idea is this. It’s time for a New Orleans Turkey Hunt. Since the wild pigs have taken over parts of City Park, we can use the old golf courses that look like a jungle. The only different requirement is that we are not hunting turkeys with feathers. We’re hunting turkeys with hair or the bald turkeys. I’m not advocating killing these turkeys, but it sure would be fun to get some paintballs and take their dumb asses down.

Here’s a short list of “game”- feel free to add any I have missed:

Ray Nagin
Mama “D”
Aaron Broussard
Kathleen Blanco

Those are the easy ones. Add to the list and I’ll bring the beer…or the vodka, I prefer the jug o vodka that I can drink like moonshine.
