A Little Raw And Unedited Footage...

Hi, I am Marcus de la Houssaye, owner and operator of de la Houssaye's Swamp Tours, at Lake Martin. I am also the host of an upcoming reality TV program, called My Wild Louisiana now in production, and soon to be broadcast on the internet and cable.

I decided to release a little of the unedited raw footage of an interesting encounter I had with an American Alligator, on tour with a group of college students from Tulane University, a couple of months ago.



The dog baying the gator is Jesse, who is a Louisiana Catahoula, and he bays a gator as quickly as he would a wild hog! Jesse will be with me on the TV program and also works as a professional blood tracking dog with me during deer season. In the spring and the fall when we aren't doing Lake Martin Swamp Tours, Jesse is a hog dog.

If you would like to contact me for a tour, or if you are interested in my dogs, I can be reached by cell phone at 337 298 2630.

Houseboats For Rent

I had friends driving in from Colorado to do a swamp tour with me and spend the night on a houseboat in the swamp.






The view of Mc Gee's Landing and Henderson Lake in the Atchafalaya Basin.

As soon as I crossed the levee, I could see the houseboat my friends rented at Mc Gee's.


They are a band called Motorhome from Colorado,

coming to play at Somewhere Else's

and the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette

Nice Houseboat!
