Lazy S-ing like a fat cottonmouth through low-lying country, Lac Calebasse's drought-induced water levels were so low during a recent duck hunt that fluted cypress butts shined like stark naked old ladies when Dale Bordelon's spotlight beams shined on them and our way to the duck blind, the prop chopping coon-tail most and churning mud the entire time. It was right here that Bayou Beast Calls originated. After dinner in his family's generations-old camp house, Dale describes the duck camp's history, past times and people, the region, ducks, calls and memories. Old school ain't so much gear. It's a mindset. An approach to duck hunting. And to living.
