Hi, I’m John Hardy Lifelong Outdoorsman Fisherman, Hunter and Cook. This website was created to give back to a life lived outdoors and to share the knowledge gained from years of experience in the field on the water and in the kitchen. Not just my own but that of the Pro Staff we have assembled as well, all of whom are the some of the most successful and experienced men and women anywhere who share the same love for the outdoors. I hope all who find their way here benefit from and enjoy the site. I hunt, fish, cook, grow gardens and am constantly exploring the outdoors in my home state of Louisiana and beyond. I have been a Charter Boat owner and operator in the Gulf of Mexico and worked on commercial fishing boats there. I have been a waterfowl guide in the marshes rice fields and green timber in three states and guided Turkey Hunters from across the nation in Texas. I have owned and trained Labrador retrievers, Brittany Spaniels and American treeing Feists. I live from the earth and only very rarely buy meat or fish from a grocery store unless it is organic and am healthier for it. I have forged lifelong friendships with people who share the same interests, all of whom I am grateful for. I have learned from them, and they have from me, and we are all richer for it. I’ve always felt that the gift of knowledge is the greatest gift of all. I will always be grateful to the men and women that taught me and instilled in me the burning passion for all things outdoors. The products and services that we offer here are products that we know work well and will provide years of service either outdoors or in the kitchen.
