Growing up in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, opening weekend of squirrel season wasn’t just a date on the calendar — it was a rite of passage. In this episode, I trace my journey from a child raised in the heart of Cajun country to a hunter deeply shaped by those first days in the woods.
This is more than a hunting tale. It’s a portrait of a heritage — Cajun, rural, proud — and a call to keep alive the rituals that tether us to land, to family, and to spirit.
