I'm heading to New Orleans to see my brother next week(and for the Sugar Bowl), and he has been tied up with med school all year and hasn't been able to duck hunt. Anyone have any recommendations on a guide service within 1 or 1 1/2 hours of New Orleans? Any help is appreciated.(I know this is pretty late notice)

I've shot a text to my cousin to see who he may know of or would recommend.

In the mean time you can look at who's listed on Louisiana Sportsmen.

The guides with the 504 and 985 area code are in the driving area.

I don't have any recommendations on who, but:

Do it right and go out of Venice for the unique south east Louisiana experience.

Hope it'll get cold for you down there for the hunt.
