“…they prove there is no party like a bayou party in America's Sportsman's Paradise.” ―Ted Nugent    You say grilling and eating a giant rat you killed yourself is uncouth? Between slaying nutria for a Mardi Gras celebration, lying in wait for mallards in Venice, or fighting off a wild hog, these Cajun boys know their way around Louisiana’s bayous. For these home-grown, southern hunters, the swamp really is a land of abundance. The cast of Cajun characters lampoons not just the city dwellers who venture into the swamp seeking a duck-hunting adventure like they’ve seen on TV, but also themselves and the other local residents they encounter. Everyone is fair game in this laugh-out-loud book full of fun, practical advice, and a new Cuban-Cajun recipe in each chapter! Humberto Fontova puts you in the heart of the Louisiana bayous, where if the mosquitos don’t leave you itching for more, then the hangover will. The misadventures continue as the cast from his previous two books traverses the overgrown marsh, seeks out wild game, and guzzles beer., After facing off with the beasts of the bayou, the crew retreats home to clean their kills and enjoy a feast. Every chapter contains one of Fontova’s own Cuban-Cajun recipes for preparing wild game. From parmesan-dusted duck fingers to duck gumbo and pressure-cooker nutria sauce piquante, the author offers Cajun cooking at its best. Gonzo-style journalism meets the brackish waters of Buras, Belle Chasse, and Bayou Manchac in this part-memoir, part-cookbook, and part-outdoorsman spectacle that every hunter must read. “As much of the rest of the world is finally waking up to the smart return to a proper diet of grass-fed, free-range, and organic, the hunting families of the world can’t help but snicker a cocky smirk knowing damn well what we knew all along: that wild game is the ultimate nutritional fun diet. My spirit-of-the-wild bayou blood brother Humberto Fontova celebrates this self-evident truth with aplomb and cocksureness in his wonderful new killer book, Crazy on the Bayou: Five Seasons of Louisiana Hunting, Fishing, and Feasting. Humberto is the real McCoy and when he and his blood brothers unite for their voracious tooth, fang, and claw orgy of reasoning, predator killin’, and grillin’, they prove there is no party like a bayou party. What a wonderful quality-of-life upgrade everyone could experience if they would only get crazy on the bayou like the rest of us!” ―Ted Nugent Take a trip with outdoorsman and writer Humberto Fontova and his companions as they boat through the marshes of America’s Sportsman’s Paradise, scouting wild game and warding off intruders. Fontova thrills with this new episode featuring his rambunctious cast of friends from the books that spawned the Travel Channel magazine series “Destination Danger.” Front-jacket photograph by Pelayo Pelaez Humberto Fontova left Havana, Cuba, with his family and grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana.
