I use zatarans boil(liquid and powder), a couple garlic heads cut in half, a few onions, a head of celery, a few bay leaves, a big jar of jalepenos, mushrooms, tators, corn, sausage, other stuff.

THAT is what I expected to hear. You don't just cook the crawdads alone, but a bunch of other stuff with 'em. Reb, can you get crawdads in November?
I know a guy from Mississipi that brought a bunch of shrimp one year but forgot the crawdads.

No crawdads in November, what little you find tend to be small. The best time is Jan-end of May, can get them pretty good until Sept. but size runs small.

My parents have a farm south of Effingham, Illinois. There are tons of crawdads there but...they all burrow way down underground. Never see em in the water? We have a man-made pond there that should have them but don't. The yard is FULL of crawdad mounds. They burrow down in the dirt til they find water. Very weird.
I'm betting there is a lot less now. My parents well was the only one in the township that didn't go dry last summer. Many, many people were hauling water from that well. I think theirs stayed going because of the pond they built and the creek runs right through their farm. GREAT deer hunting but I let my dad do his thing. I go hunt ducks and we trade ducks for deer.
He's gettin pretty old (and crippled) so the deer thing will be mine soon.
He manages to kill deer with a crossbow out of a ground-blind. The biggest problem he has is trespassers chasing the deer off his ground onto theirs.

I've heard you can fish them out by lowering a bait on a string into the burrow and pulling them out. Might take you a while to get enough for a feed though

Damnit fuck.
Got all wrapped up in boat title drama and missed the frog opener.
God damnit jim.

AM I correct in assuming a battle tween Hudson and Rebelp would be touted as coonass vs. cajun?

This thread supports my opinion that Cajun food is just shitty food with so many spices on it that it tastes only like the spices.

I know that most Chinese buffet restaurants have crawfish, but I'm not sure about Japanese...

Pretty much. There's a place here that supposed to be Cajun. It's called the French market, and it's "upscale". And it really has a great atmosphere and good booze but the food... Christ on a cracker you can't eat half the shit for the spiciness, and if you do get it swallowed you better get you some come on ice cream to go behind it.

Was reading reviews of Jonesboro, Arkansas restaurants and learned that their cracker barrel is run by some people who put "slap yo mama" in everything on the menu. Nobody likes it and it got very poor reviews. Must be a cajun thing. (in Arkansas?)
