Here we have enjoyed three wonderful examples of how to sell Camp Swampy: (1) The Florida Method: dredge canals to raise suburban dwellings 6″ above the five-year floodplain. Market ongoing co-habitation with “Untamed Nature” as a feature. (2) The Hunting Resort: Raise only a small footprint, feed the “Untamed Nature,” and sell tickets to shoot it. (3) The Wildlife Preserve: Leave “Untamed Nature” be, and slop around in it for whatever you can pot fairly and drag out.

Chicago originated as a swampland swindle on New Yorkers, y’know. :D

OK, but are there any loons? This is Looney Listings and I’m just not sure I can approve of continued hunting venues unless they specifically have loons.

Wait… is it legal to hunt loons? No? Well… perhaps non-hunting venues are more our speed. Besides they’re less likely to have all those… mysterious blue barrels. No, honestly – I don’t want to know.
