Share Your Outdoor Adventures
The Zydeco Cowboy Blog is starting a new series. We want you to write in with your outdoor adventure tales and send pictures to boot to post along with your stories.
On occasion some of the submissions we will be turned into audio features for the upcoming podcast. You will be contacted by our production team to do recorded interviews in order to produce monthly stories. 
Start sending those stories in right away. They can be submitted through the comments section or by sending an email to zydecocowboyz@gmail.com
The kind of adventure tales that we're looking for are about camping, fishing, hunting, trail riding ... just about anything related to being in nature's great outdoors.
