Mississippi Hunting, True Hospitality, and Making Time for People
Listen to this episode
Having shared duck blinds in many places worldwide with Chris Gouras, I can tell y’all for fact that there’s never been a lack of good things to talk about between volleys. The descendant of Greek immigrants, he’s been around the restaurant industry since forever, and started duck hunting among true South Delta legends soon after moving to Mississippi. How’d Big John end up facing the wrong way in a Netherlands goose blind? Who were some of the colorful characters Gouras hunted with back in the good old days? What happened the morning he hunted with a former Mississippi Governor? Why does he say, “Mississippi has time for people?” How important are good eats at Gouras’s hunting camp? Who’s the fastest draw in a deer stand – Chris Gouras or Ramsey Russell? What’d Gouras’s father insist be rescued from his home office preceding an incoming hurricane, and what was he the world’s best at catching? How muddy was the drive to Rio Salado last time Gouras visited and why’s he still going back? Past, present and future times covered, all awesome, like every single time we’ve ever hunted together.
