the guy on their/our left (your right, as you look at the picture) is a true, honest to goodness, coonass. None of the rest of us are from LA.

He gets honorable mention. A true coonass wears white rubber boots. The dark ones heat up to much down here (Denham Springs).

BTW, were you guys at EBRSO’s range out on 61 north of Baton Rouge? If so, I’ve fired a few thousand rounds there over the years.

Actually, it was right up there, but at a private range on the coonass' property

It’s a lifestyle more than anything.

Coonasses are generally thought of as working class Cajuns. As opposed to aristocratic Cajuns. Though of French descent I’m not a Cajun because my father’s people emigrated to south Louisiana directly from France instead of through Nova Scotia. The Brignac’s in Louisiana can be traced back to 2 Brignac brothers who came to Louisiana with Iberville.

That said the Cajuns settled in bayou country in Acadiana which is the area below Lafayette. I grew up in bayou country southeast of Baton Rouge. So very a similar lifestyle, but not the same.

On the other hand, my Mom’s people were Appalachian rednecks. BTW, I have more Indian in me than Pocahontas Warren as my great grandmother on my Mom’s side was half Sioux.

very interesting family history, Ant...

also interesting how our American language evolves: similar terms become endearing and embraced, while the same term applied to someone else would be the worst pejorative...

methinks some Louisianans wouldn't mind being called asses, but would be offended if called a coon...thinking of the ones who were displaced by Katrina...

when will you get a chance to come out west to fish and herf?

One does not want to stutter in the middle of referring to someone as a coonass, that's for sure! [frypan]

Definitely want to get out there sooner than later. I’m teaming up with a client who is great friend to start a new related venture. I’ll have to play things by ear this year.
