About Bayou Style

"Bayou Style..." LLC began as a college class project in 2001 when the founder, Wayne Hogue, was in the LSU Shreveport MBA program.   Since then, the little company has progressed through several changes to reach its current state.  The venture remains an especially great teaching tool for the Entrepreneurship and small business management classes Wayne now teaches at LSUS.   

At present, Wayne is developing several new innovative products for hunters.  Several patents have been filed and he was awarded his first patent in March 2008 on the Hogue Singletree.  The company is defining and attacking a very specific niche market in the hunting industry, the "after the hunt" market, with our own products.   Or, in terms of the company's first major product, the Hogue Skinning System, big game hunters who process their own game.  Until now, there hasn't been a lot of focus on the job that takes place after an animal is harvested.

Current plans are to seek a manufacturor for the company's products and sell them directly to end users through the company website.   A licensing agreement would also be considered.  BayouStyle.com will be an on-line one stop shop for everything a hunter needs to make the job after the shot easier, from picking up the animal at the site of the kill to processing the meat and possibly even cooking it.

Due to the increasing average age of hunters, and the dwindling numbers, a particular focus is placed on empowering lone hunters, men or women of just about any age, to take care of their harvested game with little or no help.   An additional focus is on making the tools we create readily usable at locations with or without electricity or running water.   So, no matter how remote the hunting camp, no matter if you have any help, BayouStyle.com products will make the job easier.
