Welcome to the Spring edition of the

Louisiana Game Warden. As I write this update, plans are being finalized for our 39th annual conference, hosted by Region 3, to be held in Marksville. Our “I Got Caught Wearing My Life Jacket” t-shirt program has begun and will be seen on the waterways this summer. The t-shirt program has been a huge success for the last 15 years and reflects a positive contact that Louisiana Wildlife Agents have with the public. It also allows our growing number of young boaters the opportunity to realize the importance of wearing life jackets. The LWAA is very proud of this project and will continue in its support. Spring also means that our State Legislature will be convening. This will be a very difficult time for state government and the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. I have looked at past Game Warden Magazines and President’s Messages. In almost every issue produced at this time of year you see the words “budget cuts”, “shortfall”, and “possible lay-offs”. It seems that every year the Enforcement Division takes cuts to our budget, and we are left to “do more with less”. The Enforcement Division has shown that we are the backbone of this Department. In recent years,

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

SGT. SCOTT MATHEWSPRESIDENT, LWAA

our response to disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the BP Oil spill have proven this. Any cuts made to the Enforcement Division will ultimately reduce the services rendered to the public and affect the natural resources and public safety of our state. We cannot sit by idly and watch as our budget is whittled away along with our livelihood. As members and supporters of the LWAA, you can be a voice to your elected officials. Contact them and let them know your concerns. If not, we may likely face cuts that we cannot overcome.

In closing, the LWAA would like to pay tribute to Mrs. Sheryl Bankston, our longtime Supporter Program Director. Her passing will leave a void that can never be filled. She was a great asset to the LWAA and, though she didn’t hold the official title of “Enforcement Agent”, she did more for this Association and the LDWF than we could ever imagine. Sheryl oversaw our magazine as editor many years ago and always knew how to answer those “game warden” questions when asked by potential supporters. You will be greatly missed and our prayers are with your family.

Proverbs 16:1- The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 2011

The 26th academy class of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division consisted of fifteen men from across the state with one major goal in mind, to become a part of the best state agency and earn the privilege to become game wardens in Louisiana. Our motto was “15 Mean and

Green.” This catch phrase motivated us to finish the six month academy and begin our career as a game warden. These fifteen men, who worked as one, quickly realized that a person can not survive this academy without having the mindset of being “Mean and Green.” Nothing we were exposed to would deter us from completing our mission. The academy staff had high expectations of our class at every level. Each cadet was expected to excel physically and mentally throughout our time on the academy grounds, located at the Waddill WMA in Baton

Rouge. Cadets stayed at Waddill each week and were allowed to return home for the weekend. Physical training was a daily and consistent part of the academy. A quick math calculation revealed that we performed thousands of push ups, shoulder rolls, crunches, and the dreaded flutter kicks. We also became familiar with the area by running up to 6 miles a day. Each month we were physically tested and minimum percentages were established. Improvement each month was essential. Mentally we received training in various subjects related to

becoming a game warden. We prepared for the states POST exam, and we were introduced to all the laws and regulations pertaining to wildlife. Each week cadets were tested on various subjects. Along with classroom training, we were able to receive ample hands on training. Firearms, field sobriety, defensive tactics, water survival, and first aid training is just the tip of the iceberg. On the first day Lieutenant Colonel Keith LaCaze stated that we must take it one day at a time. That proved to be an important piece of advice that will continue on during our field training process, “Take it one day at a time.” Feb. 16th, 2011 became the reality of our dreams. Graduation day had finally arrived. Everyone’s family and friends gathered to witness the accomplishment of these 15 men, and show their unwavering support. We stood tall, knowing that we were “mean” enough to never give up and “green” enough to have the utmost trust and loyalty for our chain of command. During the graduation ceremony, Cadet Justin

Lowry received the firearms award given for the best marksmanship and the academic award for having the highest GPA.

As we look forward to a long lasting career, we will always remember what it took to make it as a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agent.

FLIGHT AND FIGHT

It is a well known fact throughout the game warden community that violations and violator activity are not always busting out at the seams. Frankly,

when asked if my job is exciting, I usually answer with a phrase I once heard: “Hundreds of hours of boredom followed by seconds of sheer panic”. This little phrase never rang more true in my career as it did during the late evening of January 26 and the early morning hours of January 27, 2011. On this night and early morning, Lt. Jay Diez, Sr. Agt. Ed Ridgel, and I, Sr. Agt. Ladd Turner, were working a night hunting complaint given to us by Captain Cliff Comeaux, in Iberville Parish. Being unfamiliar with the area, we met with Captain Comeaux at approximately 9:00 PM and were given the grand tour of good hiding places in the area. While on our tour, we observed many deer out feeding that night. Living not far from where the night hunting activity was taking place, Captain Comeaux advised us that he would monitor the radio and give us assistance should we find anything. After leaving Captain Comeaux, we came up with a game plan and set up surveillance on the area. By this time, it was approximately 10:00 PM and the waiting game began. It was a beautiful night. It was one of those nights that we wish we had every night we’re working night hunters. The sky was crystal clear and even the faintest star could be seen. The air was a crisp 28 degrees and there was no wind. Every sound seemed to travel for miles. There was very little traffic that evening. Probably only five vehicles passed all

night. The night was stacking up to be one of epic proportions. It was a great night to be a game warden! The night hunting activity was taking place along the highway, very near to Captain Comeaux’s house. On one side of the highway was a mixture of fields and very dense brush. On the other side of the highway was lush green clover growing on the Mississippi River Levee. The deer could regularly be seen crossing from the dense brush and fields to feed on the clover. I set up surveillance on the area from behind the river levee by ATV in the event someone was hunting on foot. Lt. Diez and Ed were down the road from me approximately 1.5 miles in their trucks in case the night hunting was taking place from the road. Since my truck was several hundred yards from me at Capt. Comeaux’s house, I brought my newly issued Sig 516 assault rifle with me on the ATV. Being so far from my lifeline, my truck, I thought it best to have it with me. I didn’t like the idea of being outgunned by a potential night hunter. This is a decision that I later was glad to have made. While working this complaint, we saw the end of one day and the beginning of the next. After sitting idle for several hours in the frigid air, I began running a few sprints, doing push-ups, and squat-thrusts to stay warm and keep my muscles loose should we end up in a foot pursuit. At approximately 1:28AM, Lt. Diez came over the radio saying, “Got a white car headed your way. Moving slow”. I responded “10-4, looking for ‘em now”. If you remember from earlier,

sound was traveling great distances that night and early morning. I never saw the car but could hear it coming toward me. I heard what sounded like a car turn in to a gravel driveway, turn around, and begin heading the direction it came from. I keyed up my radio and advised Lt.Diez, “They turned around. It sounded like they turned around. Get ready”. Lt. Diez came over the radio “I see ‘em. They’re coming back”. Not long after Lt. Diez’s last transmission, I hear that coveted sound of a shotgun blast. BOOM!! “They shot! They shot!” I started proclaiming over the radio. I found out later that Ed was standing on top of his unit and saw the car stop and heard the gun blast come from the car. Lt. Diez came back over the radio, “We’re on ‘em”. Directly after hearing Lt. Diez, I heard the sirens of two wildlife units breaking through the night air. I couldn’t help but to grin as that was music to my ears. That’s the stuff all aspiring game wardens dream of and we were living it! I quickly start the ATV and proceeded to get my truck at Captain Comeaux’s house. As I come out on

to the highway from behind the levee, I see Captain Comeaux coming out of his driveway at “mach-1”. As we met one another on the road, he yelled, “Get in!”. I stashed the bike in his yard and jumped in his truck with him. As I get in and we get moving in the direction of the shot, Lt. Diez came over the radio and said, “He’s not stopping. He’s trying to run!” Captain Comeaux immediately began calling the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office requesting assistance with the pursuit. The sheriff’s office advised they had units in the area and that they were en route. Meanwhile, Lt. Diez and Ed are chattering back and forth on the radio advising us that they’ve exceeded 100 m.p.h. and approaching 106 m.p.h. They also advised that the car was beginning to pull away from them slightly, but that they were still on its tail. The chase went on for approximately 7 miles. At 106 M.P.H., it doesn’t take long to cover 7 miles. In those situations, however, a minute seems like an eternity.

I then heard Lt. Diez say over the radio, “He turned! He turned here!” Seconds after that transmission, Lt. Diez keyed up his radio and left it keyed. He says he doesn’t remember doing this, but it is radio traffic that I will never forget. All I could hear was a lot of yelling and screaming. I could not make out who was doing the yelling. It sounded like Lt. Diez was in a crowd of people. In the back of my mind, I thought that Lt. Diez and Ed were in a physical altercation and neither of them could speak or if they could and were, I couldn’t understand them. Then I began expecting to hear the crack of gunfire at any second. I advised Lt. Diez that Capt. Comeaux and I were almost there and that we had a deputy behind us. Lt. Diez replied with, “BRING MORE!” At this point, all I knew was that two of our guys, two of my close friends, were in trouble and I couldn’t get there fast enough. It was a helpless feeling. Every part of my being wanted to be there with them at that exact moment. All I could think was, “I need to be there NOW!” and, “They need me NOW!” I begin preparing to make my exit from Captain Comeaux’s truck. I expected to have

a fight on my hands. My assault rifle was still slung around my neck. Upon pulling into the driveway, I begin to understand why Lt. Diez said, “BRING MORE!” There was a house trailer on both sides of the driveway. There was an empty blackness in all of the windows. I could not see in, but anyone that may be inside could see out. The “security light” on the electrical pole gave everything a pale blue tint. As we drove further in, the driveway turned left into a courtyard surrounded by house trailers and shotgun houses. The courtyard was full of vehicles and there wasn’t very much room. This was set up like a

compound. There were threats from every angle. It was a fatal funnel and we were in the center of it. As we pulled into the driveway with lights and sirens blaring, I asked Capt. Comeaux, “Do you want me to roll out with this rifle?” Captain Comeaux replied, “Yeah, roll out!” As we came to a stop, I observed two male subjects approaching our vehicle yelling, “You’re on private property! You have no right to be here!”, as well as many obscenities. At this point, they were coming closer and closer to us, yelling and screaming. Both men had their hands in their pockets. I exited Captain Comeaux’s truck with my rifle at the low ready position. I negotiated the corner of Captain Comeaux’s truck while moving towards the men and began giving loud verbal commands for both of them to stop and remove their hands from their pockets. One of the men complied immediately by showing me his hands and both stopped moving toward us. The second man, although stopped, began shoving his hands down deeper into his pockets. At this point, I came to high ready with my rifle. Captain Comeaux yelled, “Put ‘em on the ground!” We all began giving loud verbal commands telling them, “Get on the ground! Get on the ground.” The non-compliant subject removed his hands from his pockets, yelled many expletives, and then took off at a brisk walk towards his house. He had to pass by Lt. Diez and Ed to get there. I yelled to Ed and Lt. Diez across the yard, “He’s going to the house!” They had already observed his movement and were moving in to stop him. Ed and Lt. Diez began giving him loud verbal commands to stop, but the belligerent subject wasn’t having it. I then turned my attention to the other man as he began to walk off. He stopped in his tracks when I turned the rifle on him. I then heard the distinct sound of a Monadnock expandable baton being swiftly extended into the ready position. Ed had deployed his baton believing that spraying him may only serve to push him toward his house faster. While covering the other man, I remember thinking, “Oh, it’s on now!” Lt. Diez, Ed, and the deputy took the subject down and, after a brief struggle, had him in cuffs. I could not see them at this point as they were down between two of the cars in the courtyard directly in front of several doors and windows. As they were securing the subject, these houses began emptying with people screaming and yelling at us.

It became very apparent that we were not in a very law enforcement friendly environment. I moved to a better position to watch as many doors, windows, and people as possible to provide cover for Lt. Diez, Ed, and the deputy should anyone come out with a firearm or should the angry mob rush them. We were severely outnumbered at this point. Realizing that Lt. Diez and Ed had the subject in custody, and the number of people coming outside, the deputy jumped up and grabbed his sidearm. Upon hearing loud verbal commands to stay back and seeing the deputy and I were ready to respond with lethal force to protect Lt. Diez and Ed, who were stuck on the ground with the suspect, the angry crowd stayed back. By this time, several more deputies and several officers from the St. Gabriel Police Department arrived and the crowd began to act more civil. Amazing how a show of force begins to change attitudes. Now that we had the scene under control, we started sorting out the whole ordeal. Both Lt.

Diez and Ed told Captain Comeaux and me that the subject, who was in cuffs, came from the direction of three parked cars. One of the cars was white, but was covered in heavy frost. Another was green and the third had a cover over it. We looked a short distance away, but not from the direction the suspect came, and we saw another white car . . . it also had frosted windows. By this time we were all saying, “The car didn’t just disappear”. Ed walked over to where the belligerent subject came from when they first made contact and observed a rip in the car cover on its side. The rip in the side of the cover clearly exposed a marvelous white rear quarter panel. Ed said, “There’s a white car!” We removed the car cover to find a white Ford Taurus beneath it. I quickly felt of the hood and it was very hot to the touch. I could hear the motor crackling as it was quickly cooling in the frosty night air. Ed and I looked through the passenger windows and saw a spotlight laying on the driver’s seat, a cup with ice and a drink still in it, and a 20 gauge shotgun lying on

the floorboard of the rear passenger area. AH HA! We got him! After discussing the events that took place up until that point with Lt. Diez and Ed, they stated that the white car did have a several second lead on them but that they never lost sight of it until it turned into that driveway. When they began entering the driveway, they realized the threats that it posed and entered slowly so as to not enter into a dangerous situation too quickly and to allow us more time to get there. Because of where the car was parked and the arrangement of the houses, there was no way for them see what was going on until they got to the very back. This gave the subject enough time to throw a car cover over the car and act like there was nothing going on. Of course, he began asserting that he was innocent of all of the activity and that he was in his yard working on a car, at 1:30 a.m. in 28 degree weather, ACROSS the yard from where he originally came. Also, there was not a single light on where the car was located to assist in his early morning automotive repair. He also said that no white car had entered into there and that we had no right to be there. His story just didn’t add up. We had our guy and he was on his way to jail. Now, the matter of the deer. After we finished gathering all of the evidence and taking pictures, we went to the scene of the crime to locate the deer. After combing the roadside for several minutes, we located what appeared to be bloody lung tissue. Not far from there, Captain Comeaux located the severely wounded deer. The deer, approximately 70-80 lbs, was lying in a pool of its own blood, unable to get up and flee. The deer expired a short time later. The deer’s wounds were consistent with those that are caused by buckshot. Now, we had our guy and his

victim! The following day, I was contacted by Sr. Agt. Randy Lanoux. Randy heard about the case and called to congratulate us. During our conversation, Randy began telling me about this guy’s background. Unbeknownst to us, this guy was a career criminal in every sense of the word. We knew from talking with our guy at the jail that he had already served five years in “the freezer” as he called it, or jail. Randy caught him the previous hunting season with several deer hunting violations including “Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm”. I ran his criminal history and found that it was quite the history. He had numerous drug and weapons charges, battery, resisting, DWI, flight, and several charges for 2nd Degree Murder. As I’m finding all of this out, I got another phone call telling me that the Iberville Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force just served a search warrant at our guy’s residence. The search of the property resulted in a seizure 18 firearms, some of which were stolen, ranging from assault rifles to shotguns. A search of the house resulted in the seizure of 138 grams of cocaine and multiple bags of

marijuana that appeared to be packaged from street level distribution. The estimated street value of the drugs is $14,000. After looking at the totality of the circumstances, I realized how much worse the whole situation could have gotten that night. I have no doubt in my mind that our guy saw the writing on the wall that night and began retreating to his house to retrieve one of those firearms. However, due to our training, warrior mindset, and the Lord’s blessing, we won the day . . . unharmed! As I was telling this story to another police officer, I happened to use my favorite quote that I shared at the beginning of this article. He grinned and said, “Yeah, it’s how we prepare ourselves during those hours of boredom that determines how we handle those seconds of panic”. Always be diligent. Be aware. Be ready. We never know when the next license we check, boat we stop, or complaint we work will turn in to a fight for our lives.

THE OIL SPILL AND FRAUD, IT’S ALL A BIG MESS!

As we all know on April 20, 2010, the oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded, causing oil to enter into the Gulf of Mexico. What we

didn’t know was the extent of work the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division would be faced with. First, we had to secure areas along the coast of Louisiana to make sure no one was fishing in the areas impacted by the oil spill. Then, as the Department was able to make more areas open to fishermen and fewer agents were required to be on the coast, the Enforcement Division’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) began to look into the paperwork that was being filed with the Department for fraudulent purposes. BP representatives quickly learned, in their haste to give out money to needy fishermen that lost income due to the oil spill, that trip tickets were a source of information that they could obtain from fishermen. Almost as quickly as the BP representatives learned about trip tickets from fishermen to support their claim, people who were looking to commit fraud were trying to get their hands on those trip tickets. I mean, if a trip ticket was a source of paperwork the

BP representatives weren’t questioning, then what better paperwork to supply to the BP representatives, right? Problem was to get hold of a trip ticket. Only fresh products licensees and wholesale/retail seafood dealer’s had trip tickets. Some fishermen, who once had trip tickets from an old fresh products license, began to make up false records and submit them to BP representatives. Some fishermen got hold of trip tickets from fresh products licensees or wholesale retail dealer’s to create false records. So the fraud was on. There were rumors of trip tickets being handed out at BP facilities’ parking lots and being filled out by fishermen on the spot. There were rumors of wholesale dealers having fishermen buy trip tickets for $100 per ticket. Some fishermen did not keep their trip tickets and went to the Department to get printouts of their previous sales. BP representatives over time learned the only real way to get legal trip information from fishermen was to obtain the printout of information from the Department. So now these falsely created trip tickets had to be turned into the Department to get the printout. The more official it

looked to the BP representatives the easier the fraud would be, right? The Department’s Trip Ticket Section was bombarded with “late” trip tickets. The law requires trip tickets to be reported quite timely. Late trip tickets are a violation of law and were forwarded onto the SIU for investigation as to which ones were just late and which ones were fraudulently created. We began to look into the commercial licenses that were purchased in connection with the late trip tickets filed. The more we did, the more we found the inconsistencies in the fraudulent trip tickets. Purchasing a license AFTER the oil spill was a real clue, that and trip tickets that indicated people fishing without a license before the oil spill. Then there were the interviews. Time after time you could see each fraudster slump like letting air out of a tire when they found out they were caught! This past October, the Department was asked to help the fraud hotline catch the people committing fraud. There is a hotline that people can call for each natural or man made disaster. Such disasters included hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and of course, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. People from all over the country call these hotlines which is located at Louisiana State University. There is a special task force of people comprised of federal agencies. Agencies like the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, Department of Labor, Department of Agriculture, Department of Transportation, Department of Treasury,

the Department of Veterans Affairs and so many more. Of course, no one could decide if a fisherman was a legitimate fisherman in Louisiana except for the LDWF. Of course, the Department wanted to help in any way we could to help ensure that only people truly impacted by the oil

spill were compensated. We needed to make sure that the paperwork that was submitted to the BP representatives and the Gulf Coast Claims facility (GCCF) was all legitimate paperwork. Now it became even more of a mess. Not only is the SIU getting information from the Department’s Trip Ticket Section, now we were weeding through over 1,000 complaints filed with the hotline. Talk about getting it from both sides. There were roughly 200 of the complaints filed with the hotline that were specific complaints about commercial fishermen or dealers that had some validity to them. To date, the Special Investigations Unit has arrested 8 people on 23 felony violations including filing false public documents, injuring public records and theft by fraud of

UPDATE

Hunting season is winding down and spring is in the air. We have been enjoying a few warmer days here in the end of February which is a welcome relief from the three snow storms that hit us in January. Usually

we get a good snow storm once every three years not three in one year! The water temperature is rising, the days are getting longer, and it won’t be long before the bass begin to spawn. The warm sunny days are bringing the fi shermen out of the woodwork. Everyone has been cooped up all winter and they are ready to get out and enjoy Sportsman’s Paradise. Enjoy the spring weather because it won’t be long before those 90 degree days of summer hit us. Hunting season is not totally over though; we still have turkey season and the new nighttime nuisance animal season that is about to start in the next few days. We have been fi elding lots of questions about the regulations regarding the night-time hunting of nutria, beaver, coyote, armadillo, and feral hog. So, in brief sum-mary: you can only use a .22 caliber rimfi re or a shotgun with buckshot, the season opens at sunset on February 28th and runs through August 31st at midnight, and if you are not the landowner you must have written permission to hunt on the prop-erty at night. I would like to caution everyone to be sure of their target and what is behind it because once the bullet leaves the barrel, there is no bringing it back. It is a lot different hunting at night and it is very easy to lose your sense of direction, causing you to shoot in an unsafe direction. Remember to try to not get caught up

in the moment; take a breath, think about what you are doing and where that bullet is going if you miss. Until next time stay safe and remember to introduce someone to the outdoors. It won’t take long for them to realize why Louisiana is “The Sportsman’s Para-dise”.

SPIRIT OF GIVING

I have been the LWAA Representative for Region 1 for the past six years and in that time I have had the privilege to present various charitable

donations. This Christmas Season, Region 1 decided to make donations to Coats for Kids, Toys for Tots, and to sponsor a family in need. Coats for Kids is a program that has been going on for years in the Shreveport area; people bring in new or slightly used coats to the drop off locations. Porter’s Cleaners picks up the coats from the drop off locations, cleans, and mends them free of charge. They are then distributed to needy kids. This year we were proud to donate over fifty new coats to this great program. The Toys for Tots program is a joint effort with the United States Marine Corps and the Salvation Army. Requests are made by kids in need and then donations are collected at several locations around the area. The unwrapped toys are dropped off and the wrapping is done by volunteers. I saw the mountain of toys at the location we went to and to wrap those toys alone looked like quite a task, not to mention delivering all those toys to the homes for Christmas morning. Sgt. Parker and I took the $500 donation and turned it into two buggies full of toys. Giving truly is better than receiving; if you

don’t believe me, just go and donate a small amount. I got to see a few of the requests for toys. The thing that hit home to me was the selflessness of the kids in need and the things that they wished to receive. They did not request huge elaborate gifts; instead, I saw a lot of requests for toothbrushes, socks, shampoo, and soap. I know that I take those things for granted. These kids asked for simple inexpensive toys. I saw

Sgt. Troy Parker and Sr. Agt. Frank Reger donating coats to Coats for Kids.

ELECTRIC FENCES AND NO FISHING LICENSE

On the night of Feb. 26, 2011, Senior Agent Frank Reger and I scheduled ourselves to work the Red River bottoms in north Bossier

Parish. We were out until 2 a.m. and were making sure that no one was getting an early start to the new nighttime take of nuisance animals and outlaw quadrupeds. We had sat on this previous spot the night before without any luck. Next to where we had parked our truck along the levee was an electric fence which we watched spark and pop flames all night long. And of course, with 6 hours of sitting next to it the obvious stupid question came about, “Do you think it’s on?? Go touch it and see!!” On this second night, we wouldn’t have to wait long for the action to begin. About 15 minutes into our wait we began seeing spotlights shining right next to us coming from within the Old River Oxbow. We knew that with the river at a low level they had nowhere to go to get away. We crossed through the gate and first electric fence without incident and began easing through the pasture towards the source of the light. Senior Agent Reger was walking ahead of me a short distance and as we began closing in on the lights, I turned on the night vision goggles to make sure no obstructions were ahead of us. Turns out, I

was a couple seconds too late and I got to see a 6’4” grown man stop in his tracks and let out a muffled yelp! After I finally stopped laughing and we both regained our composure, we cautiously walked the rest of the way, having to cross two more of the same. We finally made it to the bank and found out there were two boats. One boat was lit up with flood lights and appeared to be engaged in bow fishing. The other boat was pulling away from the bank and was heading away from us up the oxbow. After I stood on the bank with 500 mosquitoes for about an hour and watched them attempt several times to shoot fish with the bow, they began making their way back to the trucks

where we were waiting. The first boat came back from running yo-yo’s and the adult did not possess a valid fishing license nor did his child have a PFD on, much less one in the boat for either person. He was issued citations accordingly. After an inspection of the second boat, it was found that the two arrow slingers did not possess valid fishing licenses either and were also issued citations. After the night was over, everybody went home safely, no major violations were committed, and I was able watch a fellow agent “ride the lightning” which was PRICELESS!

PICK UP YOUR STUFF AND BRING A DESIGNATED DRIVER

Hello, outdoorsmen! I’m writing to you as this hunting season is nearing an end and warmer weather is showing up a day or two at a time

this month of February. As we know, better conditions will draw a larger crowd to the local fishing holes where people will get to enjoy a chance to fish in more comfortable settings. Normally, people are very mindful of the items they bring with them that turn into trash and respectfully carry it back to their vehicle with them. However, there are some that do not share that feeling of responsibility to keep our Louisiana beautiful. On one particular day this February, I encountered three people who did not care to pick up their stuff. We will call them Mr. A, Mr. B and Ms. A. While making my rounds and coming into contact with the people that were fishing, I noticed these three sitting at the water’s edge. Only one of them was fishing, but all were drinking, laughing and having a good time. As I observed them for some time, I saw Mr. A throw two of his cans into the bushes, Ms. A threw two of hers also and Mr. B, well, you guessed it, he threw his also. This is very frustrating because their vehicle is parked very close to a sign that clearly states, “No Littering.” Well, as time went on the fish weren’t biting as much as they had planned and they began to make their way back to their vehicle. As I made my way to speak to them, knowing that they had no clue that

By Sr. Agent Bryant Coburn

I had just watched them throw their trash down, I knew they would be in shock when I would inquire as to why they did not bring those items in question out of the woods with them. After informing all three that they would receive a citation for litter, I began to wonder if they must have drank more than what I saw. Only Mr. A and Ms. A had a valid driver’s license. After performing what most of the public call an eye test, which they did not do to well on, I asked if they might have had a few drinks before they showed up. Wouldn’t you know it, they said yes. I told them they would have to call someone to come get them, and after a phone call or two, they were lucky enough to not have to wait too terribly long before someone showed up. We encourage people to enjoy the outdoors everyday if possible, but please, pick up your trash and if you’re going to drink, bring a designated driver. Until next time, take a kid fishing or hunting.

SUPER CAUSE ON SUPER BOWL WEEKEND

It happens every year around January. Laura Hollingsworth from Minden St. Jude calls me on the phone and wants to know if we still want to

donate a Lifetime Hunting and Fishing License. The answer is always, yes. Several years ago we started this donation and it has been a big success for St. Jude. Every Super Bowl weekend the Minden St. Jude has a telethon starting on Friday and running through Sunday. Year after year, our donation of a Lifetime License is one of the top items in the auction/raffle. St. Jude Hospital is dedicated to finding a cure for pediatric cancer and curing kids with cancer. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center

where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. With a mission statement like this, you can’t help but want to be involved. This year agents went the extra mile and helped answer phones and announce the items coming up for auction or raffle. I would like to thank the following agents for their participation and dedication: Lt. Kenny Balkom, Sgt. Mike Kelley, Sr. Agt. Jared McIver, Sr. Agt. Cullom Schexnyder, Sr. Agt. Bryant Coburn, and Sr. Agt. Wesley Duck.



Greetings from Region 2! We made it

through another largely successful hunting season, and are now looking forward to a bit of warm weather. Turkeys, boats, and budget fi ghts are on the horizon. It is with great sadness that I report the loss of a member of the LWAA family. Sheryl Bankston, wife of Captain Alan Bankston, passed away in February. She was the longtime director of the LWAA Supporter program, and is one of the people most responsible for the fi nancial and reputational stability the LWAA enjoys today. In addition to being an advocate for the LWAA, she was a wife and mother, and it’s safe to say that in addition to

making the LWAA better, she probably had a lot to do with making her son Jason, and her husband Alan, better as well. She will be missed by all, and it’s going to be very diffi cult fi nding someone who is able to do all she did for the association. By the time this magazine reaches your hot little hands, we will have fi nished another hunting season. Some truly outstanding cases were made by agents in all three of our districts. It is always a source of pride to work with the dedicated and professional agents who make up my region, and indeed the whole department. A lot of it is especially impressive, given that there were so many problems with the deer tagging system. I

dearly hope they can get those problems worked out by next season. It’s a wonderful tool to have in your arsenal, and essential to improving Louisiana’s quantity and quality of deer. Given the woeful state of our economy, those natural resources we defend and protect may prove to be more important than ever. Turkey season and warm weather is just around the corner, and if the number of birds I’ve been seeing on our management areas is any indication, it looks to be a good year. As to the immediate future, things look pretty grim right now. As we all know, certain funds have been cut, reducing our pay immediately, and pretty signifi cantly.

Certainly not isolated to law enforcement, even school board members’ and highway workers’ compensation is being targeted by a public who sees their money mismanaged by those not so affected by hard times. The best we can do is what we’ve always done: be professional, and do the job the best we can. We still have the best job out there, and as a department, we’ve always managed to survive even bad times. We will this time, too. The LWAA will be in the middle of this fi ght, doing our best to address the concerns of our membership, and hopefully, keep moving forward instead of backward.

OPENING DAY

This past hunting season was no different then any other. Opening day of the either sex rifle hunt on Boeuf WMA was what drew many hunters

away from home to go deer hunting and camp for the weekend. I remember when I was a little kid I could hardly sleep the night before the opening day of rifle season because I was so excited. I was reminded of this while patrolling on Boeuf WMA that opening day when I saw a young boy standing next to the gravel road in a camp ground. The boy had a smile on his face like someone had just told him he could have all the toys in Toys R Us. I could not help myself so I stopped and asked the boy if he had any luck that morning. He told me to come and look what he had found. The boy lead me over to his camp site were his father was making some lunch, and showed me a deer skull that he and his father had found that morning. It turns out the boy and his father go hunting on opening day in the same place every year on Boeuf WMA. The happy family informed me that the year before, the father and son had shot that deer and were unable to find it because of the high water from Boeuf River. It amazed me at how happy the young boy was over finding a deer head from the year before until I started thinking back to all of the

good memories I have from hunting with my dad and family growing up through the years. The special bond between a father and a child, when a child grows up spending time hunting and fishing with his father, can not get any more obvious than to the lucky few of us that get to do this job for a living.

starting to acquire some age. This story is about one buck in particular that got old enough to prove that in the antler category, OWMA can compete with any area in this state for producing trophies. Thanksgiving weekend 2010 had been a busy one for us. Both WMA’s were open for three days of either sex deer gun hunting and both had been crowded Friday and Saturday. Sunday usually means a slow down as a lot of hunters are packing

OUACHITA WMA SURRENDERS A MONSTER

Ouachita Wildlife Management Area (OWMA) is roughly 10,000 acres of prime hunting land owned by the department. It began life

in 1975, with the purchase of 3124 acres, followed by 5621 acres of agriculture fields in 1984 and an additional 896 acres in 2002. It has a lot of hardwood timber on the original purchase, and the agriculture fields were replanted in hardwoods in the late 80’s and most of them are now producing acorns. There is a large amount of property available for waterfowl hunting. OWMA is located about 6 miles south east of Monroe. The north side borders with Russell Sage WMA (RSWMA) which is around 17,000 acres of hardwood bottom land. Over the years of working both WMA’s, I have seen some impressive deer come from both with a lot of bucks weighing over 200 pounds and a few surpassing 250 live weight. Bucks that score in the 120 – 130 B&C range are fairly common with an occasional 140 – 150 being taken. The deer have plenty to eat on both WMA’s, and being in the Lafourche Canal drainage area, the soil fertility is there as well, so the only thing lacking for bucks to get really big is age. Now that the reforested areas have tall grass, trees are producing acorns and there are plenty of thick places to hide, the deer are

up to leave. I was located on OWMA and was talking to area supervisor Greg Crawford, when a vehicle pulled up and the driver asked if we could weigh a deer. Friday and Saturday on both WMA’s was a mandatory deer check in, which means that every deer taken on the WMA will be weighed. However on Sunday November 28, there was no check station open, so no scales were available. I asked the man if he had killed a good one. He said that boy did, and pointed to a kid getting out of the truck with an ear to ear grin. I walked to the back of their truck and could not believe what I was looking at. I thought I was looking at a small moose. Both sides of the bucks antlers were pal mated (like moose antlers). We did not have an official tape measure to record any accurate measurements, but Greg did measure the buck. While Greg measured, I jotted down a few measurements and took several pictures. Greg aged the deer the best he could and his best guess was around 5 ½ - 6 ½ years old. The smiling “kid” that harvested this deer is 14 yr old Chase Ardoin of Pine Prairie, La. It was not his first deer, but by far his biggest and probably will be for quite some time. He wore that smile the entire time we were with him and for good reason. Here are the unofficial measurements. The buck was either an 11 or 12 point (depending on who scores it), both brow tines were also forked and sported a couple of small tines (kickers) Bases ---------------- 8” diameter Main Beams ------- 9” diameter (widest point at palmation) Main Beams ------ 25 ½ inches G2’s ---------------- 14 ½ inches Inside spread -------15 inches Before leaving, we exchanged information with Chase. As soon as they got it officially measured they

would let us know. A few days later, Greg called me and told me the buck weighed close to 240 live weight and taped out in the low 180’s (green score). Regardless of what it scored or will officially score, it is a monster by anybody’s standards, and it was not taken behind a high fence on private property in another state. It was taken by a 14 year old hunter on public land in Louisiana owned and managed by the LDWF, open to hunting by anyone possessing the

required license. I may go the rest of my career and never have the opportunity to be in the presence of such an animal. But I was fortunate enough to be on November 28, 2010. The pictures do not do this animal any justice. The only way to truly appreciate the amount of mass and the impressiveness of this animal was to be standing there. I am just glad I was. Thanks for sharing it, Chase.

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS CHEER

By Sgt. Joe Chandler

Each region in the state is given a certain amount of money each year that may be spent on any charity the membership in that region agrees

on. This year, the agents of Region 2 decided to do something a bit different. Often, the money donated goes to whichever charity as a check. While this is, I’m sure, appreciated, it apparently struck Sr. Agent Johnny Wilson as a bit impersonal, and he proposed to provide something a bit more concrete. At our region meeting, Johnny motioned to have a portion of the money used to buy toys. Since it was a really good idea, it was quickly seconded and passed, and this is where the fun started.

Johnny had a contact with K-104, a local country radio station, who organizes a Toys For Tots drive each year around Christmas. They have an extensive list of persons in need, and the organizational and distributional heft to get the toys where they were needed, so we worked through them for distribution. All we needed to do was get them the toys. Using the awesome power of the LWAA credit card, Johnny and I bombed two poor cashiers at two different stores. Seriously, I think when we went to the register, I saw fear in their eyes. As you can see by the photos, we got a lot for our money. Special thanks for the success of our shopping spree have to go out to the two stores we purchased the toys from: Spotted Dog Sporting Goods in Columbia, and Academy Sporting Goods in West Monroe. They were aware of the purpose of our shopping trip, and went above and beyond merely purveying goods. Both stores waived the taxes, and

offered significant discounts, allowing us to purchase more toys than we could have otherwise, and the service we received at both stores was spectacular. Having gone into an egregious amount of debt at Spotted Dog over the years perusing their wonderful selection of firearms, it was particularly nice for me to go in, and not owe them money when I left. After actually breaking a sweat shopping, we got to deliver the toys to the radio station. I think it’s safe to say they were impressed, and were grateful they would have so much to give to needy children in the area. A couple weeks later, I was asked to do a radio interview with the hosts of K-104’s radio show. It was a lot of fun, and gave me the opportunity to let everyone know just how caring and generous the agents of the Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association are. Too often, people think we’re only there when they don’t want us, to give out coupons for court appearances, and to otherwise ruin their good time. It was nice to be able to let people know we’re there for good things as well, and I’d like to think the LWAA made Christmas a little bit brighter for a lot of kids. I know Johnny and I had a blast shopping for them. We tried to concentrate on toys that would get the kids outside, or get them to use their imaginations, like footballs, sleeping bags, cap guns, and playsets, and to split the items between what we thought boys would like and what girls would like. Outside those criteria, if it looked ‘cool’, we got it, and had fun knowing the LWAA was providing something real to needy kids at Christmas!

NIGHT HUNTING BLUNDERS


Over the years of doing this job, I have never ceased to be amazed at the efforts that some people will go through to break the law. Also

what will never cease to amaze me is the way some of them get caught. Regardless if they are caught by LDWF Enforcement or by some other agency and turned over to us, the result is always the same, but how they “got there” may not be. While there were a lot of great cases made this hunting season in Region 2, the following two that were made in Ouachita Parish really stuck out. All involve night hunting deer and all involve “kids” from 16 – 20 years in age.

OOPS The first one occurred on the early morning hours of November 23. It was my day to work (good ol’ Monday) but it was far from time to get up when my phone rang. I looked at the clock and it showed somewhere around 3 a.m. I’ve never gotten a “good” phone call at 3 a.m. from anybody telling me that I had won any sort of contest, so I knew it wasn’t good. Caller ID showed it to be Lt. Rick Owens. I doubted he was calling me to inform me I just got a big raise, so I answered and waited to hear the worst. Well, it wasn’t a search for anybody, so that was a positive start. He did tell me to meet the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office (OPSO) at Glenwood Hospital because of an accidental shooting that occurred between two men during the course of some night hunting. What? Could you repeat that? Please? Are you serious? I got up and got dressed, grabbed a coke and out the door I went. This could shape up to be a

mess which usually includes more paperwork. At the ER, I met with OPSO deputies and learned that two individuals entered Glenwood ER earlier. One of them had been shot in the head with a rifle. Since it was a gunshot wound, ER staff contacted OPSO. Deputies questioned the shooter and once they learned that the duo were night hunting, they called LDWF. Well, from this point on, we will call them genius 1 (driver and victim) and genius 2 (passenger and shooter). It seems that genius 1 was 17 and dropped out of school, and genius 2 was 18 and also thought school was not worth the effort. They decided that since there was nothing else to do at 2:30 a.m. on a Monday morning, that they would just ride around and shoot a deer.

A little ways into their trip, and with the aid of a spotlight held out the window of genius 1’s truck (remember he is driving on a public road) they spotted the eyes of what they thought was an old lonely doe. So, genius 1 stopped the truck and shined the deer. Genius 2 opened the passenger truck door, stood up and aimed over the roof of the truck. This is where things didn’t go as initially planned. Either genius 2 didn’t factor in that the scope sits way above the barrel (should have stayed in school) or

Night Hunting Blunders

genius 1 really did let off of the brake, either way the outcome was the same. A .270 bullet makes a large hole in the roof of a Chevy truck at point blank range and when the bullet strikes the door frame it will ricochet inside the double roof panels. It is possible that at some point while acting like a pinball, it will exit the headliner and strike genius 1 in the head. Well, I know this can happen because that is what DID happen. So, genius 1 now had blood pouring from a big gash in his head where a .270 round has taken off a portion of his hair and skin. He got into the passenger seat, while genius 2 got in the drivers seat. While enroute to the ER, because of the muzzle miscalculation, and talking on the cell phone, and some moans and screams from genius 1’s side of the truck, I guess the glowing fuel light burning the retina of genius 2 indicating low fuel didn’t register. During the chaos, the Z71 ran out of gas about five miles from the hospital. Fortunately, they had a friend pick

them up and continue the last leg of the relay to the ER. Anyway, the wound to the cranium of genius 1 was not fatal and both provided me with written statements as to the events that unfolded. Both were cited accordingly. As for the lonely deer with the glowing eyes that they were so intent on shooting, well, it was nothing more than a fence post with a reflector.

THE NEED FOR SPEED In the early morning hours of January 17, 2011, I was once again asleep. (Do you see a pattern here?)Once again the phone rings, but this time it shows around 2 a.m. (Things are happening earlier now.) However, this time, it was not my Lt, but dispatch. I answered only to find out that this was once again my wake-up, get dressed and go 10-8 call. So, a few minutes later, I grabbed a coke and out the door I went. This time nobody was shot and there were no injuries. But it was a rather unusual event. It seems that two males (20 and 19), an 18 year old female, and a 16 year old female were out joy riding around midnight on the outskirts of West Monroe. Very few people ever go out looking for a deer, right? Anyway, they assured me that they had no intention of shooting a deer, even though while the lovebirds were out roaming, they just happen to have a loaded .17 caliber HMR rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot in the truck.

Anyway, they did find a very nice 10 point buck standing on the side of the road and after running the entire gauntlet of hunting season evading hunters, his life ended with one .17 caliber bullet to the head. They loaded the deer up (approx. 135 B&C) and dropped it off at home. As they were on their way to drop off the girls, what better way to end the night than to do a little street racing? While the Toyota Tundra and the car were speeding along testing the torque and horsepower of their machines, they had no idea that two West Monroe Police Officers (WMPD) were sitting in the median running radar. Both vehicles were stopped and after Mario Andretti, driving the car, was cited and released, they got the passengers out of the truck. At this time, they located blood and hair all over the clothes of both male subjects. They also located blood and hair in the back of the truck. They separated all four subjects and each was given their Miranda Rights. It was at this time that they admitted to shooting a deer about an hour earlier. That is when my bell rang. So, a quick trip to WMPD and some questioning all provided me with written statements and citations were issued. We then went to the residence and retrieved the deer, which I donated later in the day.




KEEPING THEM SAFE

By Sr. Agent John Miller

While I was on patrol with Lt. Matthews, he received a request for some assistance from a wildlife agent on Poverty Point

Reservoir. He explained to me that an agent was requested to provide some boating safety assistance to a group staying at the Poverty Point State Park. Agent Ray Ellerbe and I were given the assignment. We proceeded to the Poverty Point Reservoir on November 22, 2010 at 12:00PM and met with James Hendrix to discuss what he required. Then we went and met with the group of campers. We learned that we would be giving a talk to the Wildwoods Wandering Advanced Camp that is put on by the LSU Ag Center. We would also be providing a response unit while the campers were out on the lake in canoes. We met with the campers

and had a talk about the procedures for some one falling overboard and how to board the canoe from the water. Then the campers proceeded to the landing to launch the canoes. S/A Ellerbe and myself spent some time on the water interacting with the campers while they exhibited their knowledge before they were permitted to head out into the open water and fish from the canoes. The camp counselors were getting ready to paddle out in a canoe and turned the canoe over at the landing, which provided a laugh for

the campers. After a couple of hours the campers got tired of fighting the wind and headed back to the dock. Agent Ellerbe and I talked to the campers for a few more minutes and took a photo with the campers, then we received a complaint and had to leave them. We really enjoyed being able to help out a group of campers to enjoy the benefits of the lake that day.

THE SILENT KILLER


Approximately 15 years ago, back when I was an upcoming rookie at this job, I was introduced to the most lethal SILENT

KILLER that I had ever witnessed. This was not the work of some Hollywood science fiction writer, nor am I referring to any form of human illness such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, etc. What I am referring to is a perfectly legal product, sold over the counter, with nothing more than a simple-to-obtain license needed to make the purchase. Many farmers use it on a regular basis, which is perfectly fine if used as directed. However, this is where the problem comes in. This product is not always used as directed. It is passed around from farmers to friends or relatives, for the sole purpose of trying to eradicate pest. These pests, usually come in the form of coyotes; however, this product could care less what it kills. It does not discriminate. It works fairly simple too. Anything that ingest it, breathes enough of it or gets a little into a wound or sore - in a matter of seconds, they are looking at the roots and not the flowers. The product to which I am referring, has the trade name TEMIK. Aldicarb is a carbamate insecticide and the active substance in the pesticide TEMIK. Its primary use by farmers is to plant it with the seed of cotton, corn soybeans, potatoes, etc. to prevent seed

damage by nematodes. It is highly effective when used as intended. However, it is also highly effective when used in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. We (region 2) just wrapped up another case involving the use of Temik as a varmint eradication tool. I am not writing this article just to tell everybody about a case we made, but to give a heads up on this product. This is NOT just a region 2 (NE Louisiana) problem. This is also not just a state wide problem. This is US wide, with some areas being worse than others. If you have never heard of this product or know exactly how it works, please allow me to fill you in as this may not only give you some clues to look for in an effort to make a case, but also may very well save your life if this stuff is handled with anything other than extreme caution. Temik ingestion causes a failure of the respiratory system. I don’t mean one day in the future an animal may die from ingestion of bait laced with Temik. What I am saying is that ingestion of Temik means a certain death and not a long lingering one. It works about as fast as a rifle bullet, and is much more effective than any silencer. I was first introduced to TEMIK in the winter of

Continued


early 1997; a call was received at the Region 2 office in Monroe by a man that had just left the Vets office with a 300 dollar bill for one beagle, and witnessed the immediate death of 4 other beagles. As he unloaded his dogs (5 beagles) for a morning of rabbit hunting in the Bosco area of Ouachita/Caldwell Parish lines, shortly after opening the dog box, he heard the dogs fighting. As he got to the area, two of the beagles were dead (both with hamburger meat in their mouth) and two were fighting over what meat was left. Before he could get to them, one of the dogs fell over dead. He grabbed the two remaining dogs and rushed to his truck. Upon arrival at the truck, one of the dogs (the 4th) was dead and he was left with one alive that apparently got none or only a small amount. In any event, it survived but cost him $300 in the process. Upon arriving in field, I was introduced to the result of Temik, up close and personal. There were approximately 10 acres of death. The carcasses of coyotes, opossums, raccoons, bobcats, house cats, rats, song birds, hawks, owls, buzzards, fox and stray dogs

were scattered everywhere. We also located several piles of hamburger meat, and pork chops, both covered in Temik. Even with some good information on a possible suspect and a substantial reward, we struck out. Since that time, we have investigated several cases where Temik was used in this manner. It is always the same result and the same scenario every time: DEATH

is everywhere. The signs to look for when Temik or any other pesticide is being used inconsistent with its labeling, of course is an abundance of dead animals, especially a variety of dead animals. The preferred method is to sprinkle Temik on top of deer carcasses or to mix it with hamburger or other meat including wieners and to scatter it in areas inhabited by coyotes. Once the “bait” is located by animals, the results are fast and continuous. If you are called to investigate one of these sites, always use extreme caution. Rubber boots and gloves are a must. If you are dealing with Temik itself, a mask is probably a good idea. Temik is similar in appearance (size and color) as modern gunpowder. It is a Federal violation to use a RESTRICTED

The Silent Killer

Continued


USE pesticide inconsistent with its labeling. Each animal that succumbs to death due to the use of Temik represents a separate count (up to $1000 and 30 days in Federal prison for each count). While investigating our most recent case and doing some research, I read where the manufacturer of Temik (Bayer Crop Science) is planning to end production in the next couple of years. However, when stored properly, this product has a LONG shelf life, so this will be with us for years to come. If you would like to learn more about Temik, I can only suggest that you drop by any licensed agricultural pesticide dealer and take a look at the container, read the label, and maybe even have a look at the product. This is not a product to be toyed with. It is made for one purpose, and that is to kill. It is highly effective regardless of how it is used, whether legal or illegal.

First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies and prayers to Sgt. Curt Belton and Capt. Alan Bankston, as well as their families. Unfortunately, both Sgt. Belton and Capt. Bankston lost their spouses,

Brooke and Sheryl. I pray that they have the support they need to move forward. Not only are they our coworkers, they are our friends and family. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that whatever they need, we will be there for them. God bless you both. Now that hunting season has fi nally come to an end, it’s time to gear up for turkey and boating season. Make sure your all your equipment is in good working condition because it’s probably going to be a long spring and summer. Thankfully, the freezing cold has given way to better, warmer weather. Hopefully, all the ice storms are over and everyone can start enjoying a little time on the water. We should try to get as many people as we can to attend the boating safety courses. Let’s try to keep the public up to date on any new laws or any other laws that they may not be aware of. Region 3 presented Lynnellen Timmer of Pinecrest Developmental Center with a check for $300 to help with the cost of a Christmas party for the patients. Congratulations to all the cadets that recently graduated from the academy. Good luck with your FTO program, as well as with your new career as wildlife agents. Thank you for reading this update, and stay safe out there.

A SHAD CATCHING TROTLINE LINE??By Sr. Agent John Volentine

On Feb. 17, Sr. Agent Chad Watts and I decided to make a midday river patrol on the Red River south of Alexandria. Sr. Agent Watts

wanted to run one of our turn in boats for old time’s sake. We figured this particular week day would be a good time to run the river. We started our voyage on the Red River around 10:00 a.m. and headed south to the Palmer Chapel Oxbow. We checked a few bank fishermen along the way and conducted one boating safety stop on a local fisherman that we check numerous times annually. We rolled into Palmer Chapel Oxbow and reminisced of duck hunters who might have duck hunted in the back of the oxbow this past duck season. As we left the oxbow we observed a make-shift bench and burnt fire pit at the mouth of the oxbow. We stopped at the bench built on a sandbar and walked around to investigate. As we were inspecting the burn pile and bench, we heard and observed a pro-drive boat traveling south of us in the river. We scrambled back to our patrol boat and stated, “He is probably up to no good!” We traveled south and

made contact with the operator of the vessel. We observed live buffalo, catfish, and shad in the bottom of the boat. The operator also had an ice chest with bass, white perch, bream, and catfish in the boat. We asked the operator where he caught all his catch and he stated on trotlines and yo-yo’s. We then advised him that shad and buffalo are not your usual catch on these types of methods. So he then changed his story and stated he caught the buffalo and shad snagging along a rock jetty along the river. After years of snagging at the Mississippi River Hydroelectric Plant and Old River Auxiliary Structure south of Vidalia during my college years, I asked to see the snagging punctures on the fish he claimed to have snagged. He attempted to show us puncture wounds on the commercial fish, but none were visible. We then advised him we wanted to know where the fish came from and his story didn’t hold up to our expertise. After multiple questions from Sr. Agent Watts and I, Mr. Snagger changed his story to harvesting his catch

from another person’s hoop net in the river. We asked him to take us to the hoop net and he obliged. He took us on a wild goose chase to a bayou approximately 2 miles south on the river. He gave us an elaborate story of a hoop net he allegedly cut after harvesting the fish and it would be extremely hard to find due to it lying on the bottom of the bayou. We dragged and continued to question and interrogate him until finally he cracked. Mr. Snagger admitted that there was no hoop net and what we were looking for was located back up river near where we first made contact with him. He took us to a location south of the Palmer Chapel Oxbow where he had 75 yards of 2” monofilament gill net strung across from the rock jetty to the river bank. He stated he ran it the previous night and earlier that day. After we cited him for his illegal fishing violations, he stated, “Ya’ll are good” and “How did y’all know I was running webbing?” I informed him that we observed him running it and we just wanted to see how far he would lie to get out of it. He was completely amazed as we cited him and seized the illegal fish. I guess that seasoned agents and rookie outlaws don’t mix.

IT’S NEVER BEEN A JOB

There is an old saying that if you love what you do for a living, you will never have a job. Fitting into that category of loving what I do to

earn a living, I have never considered my occupation a job. For the last three and a half decades I have been employed by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries with the last twenty eight being with the Enforcement Division. Several people over the last few years have said that I must be crazy for staying here this long. There might be a little truth to the crazy part and the end of my career is not that far off. I plan on enjoying it until the last day I wear the uniform. I started with the department when I was eighteen years of age and spent approximately seven and a half years with the Game Division mostly on Fort Polk Wildlife Management Area. I transferred to enforcement and have been there ever since. I have always been convinced that a game

warden has a certain bit of ability and drive to perform his duties that are just plain “ born in him “. Training and experience play a large part in performing this profession and cannot be underestimated. It seems like the ones who produce consistently at a high level have something within them that can’t be written on paper or explained with words. It’s in you or it is not. You either sail the boat or you are a passenger. It is within you to look forward to each day and what it may bring and have intentions of capitalizing on the possibilities that day and not just patrol. Reflecting back on my career I have worked (pardon the word ) with some of the finest agents one could ever want to be associated with. To catch the sure-enough outlaw isn’t easy and the odds aren’t in the agent’s favor to start with. Planning

your work and working your plan is where one must start. Matching wits with the poachers is somewhat addictive if your heart is in it. A couple of determined and self driven game wardens can pull off some great case work when the dust settles. To see the look on the bona fide outlaw’s face when you catch him red handed and he knows his day has arrived is priceless and the feeling you get catching him can’t really be explained. That day you won and it’s on to the next one. For me to mention the names of some of the “ sure enough “ game wardens wouldn’t be fair because I wouldn’t want to leave any of them out. I’ve worked (there’s that word again ) with some of the best and have learned from them too many things to mention. As a lieutenant, I have ten agents assigned to me in a four parish district. I am blessed to have ten level headed agents that perform at a consistent and high level and they take pride in what they do for a living. I appreciate their efforts and wouldn’t trade any of them. In a year’s time, I look at the district case report and am always impressed with the results they total. No two people are the same and that’s a good thing. Several different ingredients mixed together can result in one hell of a recipe. The diversity of this profession is one of the most appealing factors that it offers in my opinion. You might start out at night with the intention of catching some night hunters and wind up with making felony drug arrests. You just never know and that’s what makes the occupation interesting. Figuring out where and when to go somewhere to catch someone breaking game and fish laws is intriguing and the

A Shad Catching Trotline Line??

feeling doesn’t let go until you catch the ones doing the deed. And then the feeling comes back and it’s on to the next problem. I could go on and on about what makes this occupation great but there simply just isn’t enough time to make a dent. There are agents that plan to work twenty five years and then move on to something else and there isn’t anything wrong with that. That’s another good thing to do. I’m not out to set a record for a certain number of years. I simply care a great deal about what I do and am thankful to our good Lord for the opportunity to be a member of this profession. I’ll move on to something else one day when I leave here. The day I do leave here I hope I can say I enjoyed it beyond words and right now I can say that would be a safe bet. Like I said, “It’s never been a JOB.” GENESIS 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

By Sgt. Joe Dewil Jr.

As a wildlife enforcement agent, there are many challenges that are associated with patrolling the vast boundaries of this state. Along with

the enforcement of hunting, fishing, and boating safety regulations, wildlife agents are also the primary responders for natural disasters, boating accidents, and search and rescue operations on land and water. With so much area to cover and so few agents to patrol, wildlife agents readily accept and rely on assistance from their local community organizations. One such organization that has been a great asset to wildlife agents in Sabine Parish is the Toledo Bend Lake Association (TBLA). Members of the TBLA have been working tirelessly for years to promote and enhance the Toledo Bend Lake area by raising money for projects that range from helping to stock bass fingerlings to providing fish replicas for the Louisiana Lunker

Program. The working relationship between TBLA and wildlife enforcement agents began over ten years ago when TBLA started sponsoring the Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association “I Got Caught Wearing My Lifejacket” t-shirt program. In this program, t-shirts are given out to youth that are wearing their life jackets when checked by agents. The t-shirts are purchased with funds collected by sponsors. This past year, TBLA donated $1,000 toward the purchase of t-shirts for this program. In recent years, TBLA has donated both mobile and portable radios to agents working in the area to assist us in communicating with local public safety departments. Not only have these radios helped to assure our safety on patrols, but they have also been instrumental in coordinating search and rescue operations with local agencies. TBLA has also donated search lights and night vision equipment which have been invaluable in conducting search and rescue operations at night. These donations amounted to over $8,000 worth of equipment. This past year, TBLA donated over $5,000 for four T-top canopies to be used on our patrol boats to help protect agents from the elements during the course of our job duties. TBLA has been a great asset in the protection of Louisiana’s natural resources, as well as the protection of those that enjoy the natural resources in Louisiana. TBLA is a prime example of a dedicated community partner.



OUTLAW PRESENT

By Sgt. James Parish

January 7, 2011, found me sitting near the Diversion Canal Levee in southern Catahoula Parish. I was hiding out on a skeet / trap range

that was part of a 5 million dollar lodge that sits on the banks of Larto Lake. This lodge is also attached to a 40,000 plus acre farm that has a mixture of CRP and WRP. I have seen deer sheds that were found on the range and knew for sure if anyone saw one of these monsters, they wouldn’t be able resist. So as I sat and read one of my books, I heard a vehicle with a diesel engine coming down the levee. As this vehicle neared my location I saw that someone was shining a spotlight from the driver’s side of the truck along the woods. This is the time when you listen with all your might. You never know if its gonna be a .22 Short or a .300 Mag. I kept listening and listening as they kept shining. At one point I heard a door shut, and began

thinking, “Did I miss the shot, are they loading a deer in the truck?” They shined along the woods line for a little while more, then put the light up. As they began to drive past my hiding place, I called Sr. Agent Troy Mayo and let him in on what was going on. With the aid of night vision goggles, I began to follow them after they passed my location. After following them for about a quarter mile and after they didn’t shine or shoot anything, I turned on my blue lights and stopped the truck. I immediately saw why I didn’t hear them shoot anything earlier. Anyone want to guess why? There was a guy in the bed of the truck kneeling down, holding a bow with an arrow knocked that had a broadhead attached. This was pretty slick, I thought, and a first for me. Troy rolled up in his unit about this time and I got the bow and arrow from the subject. We then got the driver (big boy, 6’6” & 300 plus) out of the vehicle and asked him some questions. After he lied once, we convinced him to start telling the truth. He started telling us that they had seen some deer and that he was the one shining the spotlight. He also stated that the guy in the back of the truck (big boy kept calling him Einstein) had wanted to shoot one of the deer with his bow. Einstein told us it was hogs that he had seen and wanted to shoot. Big boy’s girlfriend was also there and she confirmed that they had seen deer and not hogs. By the time Troy and I finished with paperwork and pictures, it was Jan 8th, my birthday. I thought, it wasn’t a bad present, even if it was from some outlaws!



SABINE WMA HANDICAP HUNT

By Sr. Agent Jared Adams

In October 2010, I was able to assist in the annual Sabine WMA handicap hunt, sponsored by H.E.L.P. (Hunters Enriching Lives of People)

and LDWF. Friday evening most of the volunteers welcomed the hunters and their families. There was good food and fellowship before the rules of the hunt and times to be there were discussed. When I arrived, the first person to greet me was young Gage Tarpley. I met Gage and his father the year before; this year mom was going to have to spot for him. Before I got out of the truck, good Gage was grabbing my hand and dragging me and LDWF Technician Chuck Bantell toward the tractor and bulldozer. I think he likes tractors just a little more than hunting. A good friend of mine, Jody Morgan, was able to attend this year also. Even though he didn’t harvest a deer, he was just elated to have the opportunity

to enjoy the great outdoors and all the wonderful people involved. The H.E.L.P. staff was great at helping anywhere needed and put on some good eats for everyone involved. There were only two deer harvested this season but there was a record made with the biggest buck harvested since the hunt was started. It was a great opportunity for me to see how these hunters didn’t let their disabilities get in their way. I’m looking forward to next season and all it holds for other hunters who are able to join us in Sabine Parish. Thanks Doc. McGraw, Mrs. Debbie, all you other H.E.L.P. volunteers, and LDWF staff for all your hard work and sacrifices; see you next year.

Hello everyone and greetings from Region 4. Hunting season is done and the campers and four wheelers are being replaced with boats. Fishing has started out slow so far but we look for it to start picking up real

soon. Turkey season has arrived and is starting to gain popularity in our area as we are seeing an increase in question and participation. Agents in the Region have continued to patrol our waterways, seeing an increase in boat traffi c with these warm temperatures. Several DUI’s have already been made and we will continue to arrest those that decide to drink and drive. One day they will realize that a designated driver is a much better way to go and the only way to go. Enjoy the outdoors with your family and get them involved. Remember to take a few minutes to go through the safety equipment on your boat. It only takes a few minutes to account for everything you are required to have. Ignore those gas prices, and get the family together and head out to one of our waterways to enjoy what Louisiana has to offer. Always remember to wear your PFD’s and take a kid fi shing.

PIRATES OF ST. LANDRY

By Sr. Agent Thomas Ashley

In late February Sgt. Travis Huval and I were patrolling the lonely desolate back roads of St. Landry Parish, looking to see what we could

get into. We came across an older model S.U.V. The vehicle was unoccupied and the windows were rolled down, which sparked our curiosity. We stopped our truck just shy of the vehicle in order to inspect it. Inside the vehicle were some hunting jackets and a few empty boxes of shotgun shells. Sgt. Huval said, “There must be rabbit or squirrel hunters close by. Let’s find them and check them out.” No sooner were the words out of his mouth than we could hear two sets of hunters in the woods. I told Sgt. Huval that I would go to the left for one set of hunters and that he should go to the right. He agreed and we parted ways. I had closed the gap on my customers stealthily not making a sound, and I was now within about 50 yards when my portable radio screams out. “Gosh doggit,” I thought to myself. Busted! Now I made it clear to the hunters that I wanted to check out their licenses.

As I approached one subject we shall call Capt. Jack, he stated that he wasn’t hunting… “Argh… but just smashing ye there briars for me uncle.” Not really believing him, but not having seen him with a gun, I let the story fly. His uncle confirmed the story and presented me with his license which was in order. I then left the two and quickly made it back to Sgt. Huval who was checking the other hunter in the group. As I approached, I immediately asked the hunter if he was hunting with the other two. He said, “Yeah.” All three were hunting rabbits. “Really,” I replied. “What kind of guns did the other two guys have?” He thought for a second and said, “One had a 12 gauge and Capt. Jack had a 20 gauge.” Right about this time, Capt. Jack popped out of the woods with his uncle. They walked together, only possessing one gun, the 12 gauge that the uncle had. I then made my way toward Capt. Jack, because we obviously needed to talk. Upon talking with him, I

was able to covince him to give up the gig. “Aarggh matey you got me. I dropped me gun in them there woods when ye approached. I got me no license see!” I said, “Yeah, I see. Let’s get the gun Capt. Jack.” As we approached a log along the side of the road Capt. stated, “Me pistol…argh… wait me shotgun lay on the starboard side of ye log.” As I approached the log I finally understood what Capt. Jack was talking about. Capt. Jack was using a crack barrel 16 gauge (not a typo: Capt. Jack was firing 20 gauge shells through a 16 gauge barrel) that he had modified by cutting the barrel to 14 inches and cutting the stock to form a pistol grip overall length that was approximately 21 inches! It looked just like a muzzle loading “pirate” pistols. Unfortunately for Capt. Jack, to posses such a gun without the proper paperwork is a felony in Louisiana. Capt. Jack asked if he would be getting the gun back. Sorry Capt. Jack, I don’t think so. Just be glad you’re not taking a ride up the river today.

DA POULE D’EAU ROUNDUP

By Sr. Agent Jason Romero

The most exciting and rewarding experience a Wildlife Agent can have is to catch an outlaw in the act. I am saying to watch

his every move, to see him shoot every bird and then to catch him as he tries to flee. Now that is some EXCITEMENT! Now, before you get to see this excitement you have to spend many hours prepping. One week before opening weekend, in the Atchafalaya Basin, Sr. Agent David Boudreaux and I went scouting for ducks by plane. While in the air, we noticed a lake in the middle of the basin

with several hundred coots in it. We had a feeling that with that many birds in the lake, someone would show up to hunt on opening day. Later that week we made it in the lake, by boat, to check the area. The coots were still there by the hundreds. We found an area to hide the work boat and a place to sit. Well, on opening day of duck season, Sr. Agent Boudreaux and I left the house at 3:30am. We made our way to the “COOT LAKE” and set up surveillance. We each brought a 5 gallon bucket to sit on for the long wait. Boudreaux and I keep asking each other, “You think someone will show up?” About an hour before daylight, we could see three boats entering the lake. The hunters got setup

for the hunt, each in their own blind. When daylight started, the gun blast began. For about 1 hour, the three blinds steadily shot at coots, then it settled down for about 30 minutes without anyone shooting. Boudreaux and I could see hundreds of coots sitting in the middle of the lake. At this time, I guess the hunters couldn’t take it any longer. The first boat left their blind and ran into the flock of coots, shooting as many coots as they could. After they shot, they pushed the flock onto the second blind. The shots began and continued for about another 30 minutes. Boudreaux and I could not believe what we were watching. After it settled down, the second boat got out of the blind and ran into the flock of coots, shooting as many coots as they could. The first vessel got back into the blind. The second vessel passed by vessel one and three and yells “Stay in da blind, we gonna run em

up.” Now think about what’s about to happen. You guessed it. Da Poule d’eau Roundup. Vessel two is wide open in a surface drive, shooting as many coots as they can. I think the boat might have killed a few by running over them. You should have seen these poule d’eau. They were soaring to altitudes that are reached by airplanes, trying to escape the roundup. Boudreaux and I at this point were like two kids in a candy store; couldn’t wait to get them. After all the shooting was done, Boudreaux and I came out of the woods into the lake to make contact. We issued a

total of 14 citations to 8 hunters. Charges were Hunting Migratory Game Birds from moving boat and also Rallying Migratory Game Birds. A total of 98 Coots were seized.

Sr. Agent Derek Logan Season’s greeting’s

to all from Region 5. We

hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas and is looking forward to a wonderful year in 2011. Agents in Region 5 took a few moments out of our patrol time to do a little shopping for needy families. We stopped by a local Wal-Mart and purchased some groceries to fill the table tops of three less fortunate families for Christmas. Trust me; we filled the tops of their tables. We all know the holidays can be tough on many people so we (Region 5) wanted to shine a light for a few families on Christmas day. The grocery donations were a huge success in our communities and cast a very positive light on the LWAA. The Vermilion Parish Delta Waterfowl Chapter banquet is the largest “outdoorsman” banquet in our Region. A little over 500 hunters, fishermen, and bird watchers attended the

banquet. The theme / goal of this year’s banquet was get young people back into hunting. We donated a lifetime hunting and fishing license to Cade Boudreaux of Vermilion Parish. The license was given away through a free raffle that only children that were present and less than 13 years of age were allowed to enter. Hopefully more youth can make the banquet next year. Well, the winter season is on its last leg and so far we have been able to bring several violators to justice in Region 5. Thanks for all the tips and complaints from the concerned public. We have found violations from deer hunting at night to

sneaking into Vermilion Bay at night with fillets of red snapper during closed snapper season. Yep, I’d say we have seen it all this winter. Now that summer is on it’s way, I would like to take a moment to discus a few ways to be safe while out and about in Louisiana this summer. Keep plenty of drinking water close by to avoid dehydration; keep plenty of sun block and wide brimmed hats to prevent sunburns, and when boating, wear your life jacket. Just like drinking water and using sun block, your life jacket will not work if it’s not worn!! Until next time, stay safe and enjoy Louisiana!



ALLEN PARISH DISTRICT ATTORNEY PROVIDES ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT TO LDWF REGION V ENFORCEMEN

Submitted by Lieutenant Jesse Savoie

Allen Parish District Attorney Todd Nesom recently provided equipment to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries

Enforcement Division’s Region Five A Unit. LDWF Region Five A is comprised of Allen, Beauregard, and Evangeline Parishes. In providing the equipment, Mr. Nesom coordinated with local enforcement agents from LDWF and identified equipment needs that are pertinent to the daily operational requirements of enforcement agents. Three areas of concern based upon high public activity were identified that have consistently generated cases during the past several years. They were West Bay Wildlife Management Area, Ouiska Chitto River, and the overall illegal night hunting activity that occurs in Allen Parish. Spotting scopes, electronic night-vision

instruments, global positioning systems (GPS) and other miscellaneous equipment came up repeatedly as much sought-after equipment by the agents due to the prevalence of night hunting activity, concentrated public activity on scenic rivers, officer safety, search and rescue efforts and the 60,000 acre wildlife management area that comprises 12-percent of the parish. The equipment purchases are two Leupold Spotting Scopes with tripods and carrying cases, one Moro-vision Night-Vision Monocular with generation two-plus capability, one Garmin Map76 GPS unit and other miscellaneous equipment for deterrence. The total value of the provisions amounted to $3200.00. As an example of the cases generated from the identified areas of high public activities, the agents

completed 54 night hunting and related cases this past hunting season in the district with 35 of those cases occurring in Allen Parish in the vicinity of West Bay WMA. Additionally, approximately 300 cases were generated during the spring and summer of 2010 on the Ouiska Chitto River along the nine mile stretch utilized by the local canoe rental companies of Mittie. The Department and the Agents of Region 5A are very appreciative of Mr. Nesom’s support. Mr. Nesom and his staff have consistently supported the efforts of enforcement agents by taking time in their busy schedule to meet with us and discuss cases and address whatever needs that we have had.

Well summer is quickly approaching

as the 2010-2011 hunting season is closing rapidly. Here in Region 6 we have had an above average season for duck hunters and have seen some good deer taken from our area. As summer approaches, we would like to remind everyone to stay safe on the water and remember to make sure your vessels are up to date on safety gear and registrations. Many

REGION 6

UPDATE

locals did not enjoy last summer with the Deep Water Horizen Oil Spill, so we would love to encourage all of those to get out this summer and remember boat smart. A reminder to all boaters that anyone born after January 1, 1984 is now required to have taken a formal boater education course. To fi nd a course offered in your local area go to wlf.la.gov. I would like to also congratulate Sgt. Thomas Dewitt on his recent promotion and welcome to the region Cadet Norman Deroche. We wish them both good luck.

BE PREPARED FOR ATCHAFALAYA DELTA WMABy Sgt. Ross M Mire

Atchafalaya Delta WMA has over 130,000 acres of prime public hunting and fishing. The area is only accessible by boat and it encompasses

the entire Atchafalaya Bay where the Atchafalaya River discharges into the Gulf of Mexico. These sand bars and islands provide excellent public hunting for deer and waterfowl. In addition to drawing hunters from all over Louisiana, the Delta also draws hunters from other states like Texas, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. However, what makes the Delta such a great place to hunt also makes it very dangerous. The water flowing down the Atchafalaya River and the Calumet Cut is much colder than the water on the shallow sand bars and bays. Because of this, fog becomes a prevailing condition. Sometimes the fog stays thick for days, without even lifting during the middle of the day. Many hunters take unnecessary risks by navigating the fog at night with a GPS track log. A GPS is a great tool but unless it is equipped with radar, it will not tell you if there is a risk of collision with either another boat or something in the water. Often times fog rolls in way before dark. Hunters need to pay attention to the incoming fog and give themselves enough time to get in before dark. Navigating in the fog during daylight is risky enough; doing it after dark is way too dangerous.

Another prevailing condition is the tide. Although the tide helps to move the birds, it can also leave you stranded. Many novice hunters don’t consider what the tide will do throughout their hunt. Sometimes even experienced hunters will fail to correctly predict what the tide will do and become stranded. Becoming stranded at the Delta can be a very bad thing, especially if you’re not prepared. When you are stranded at the Delta, you are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Every year we respond to Search and Rescue calls and our success is often increased by both our readiness to respond and your preparedness to survive. Having some means of communication and a GPS to give your Lat and Long position decreases the time you spend stranded. Before venturing out to the Delta, stop and think of what you will need. How will the weather conditions affect the area? Do I have the basic essentials to survive, (i.e. food, water, flash light, cell phone and charger, vhf radio, GPS etc) needed if I get stranded? If I get wet, do I have extra dry clothes to get dry and warm? Did I make a float plan? On Christmas Eve of 2009 we responded to a SAR at the Delta along with the USCG and St. Mary Sheriff’s Office. A hunter was overdue and

another hunter found his boat drifting. Rarely will even a veteran to Atchafalaya Delta keep essentials to survive on his person. Most of the time, it’s kept in the boat. We searched by boat and the USCG searched by air. By divine intervention and a will to survive, the subject was able to survive over night one of the harshest environments. If he would have been carrying some type of visual distress signal, phone or VHF radio, we may have found him that night. This hunter, like many at the Delta, has a camp. So what if nobody was expecting you back and no SAR is conducted. What do you think your chance of survival or the chance of survival of a young hunter you brought along in the harsh elements would be?

This past hunting season we responded to a SAR mission where some hunters went out in a bay boat. After putting out their decoys, the tide ran out on them very fast. On this day the tide was greatly affected by the strong cold north wind. They found themselves stranded but they had several things in their favor. They had a cell phone, a GPS, they were all together, it was early in the day and although it was aground, they had their boat. However, it took a while for us to get to them and during this time the youngest hunter, an 11 year old boy, got wet. It was very cold that day and because he was so small, hypothermia would have affected him fast. Luckily because they gave us their Lat and Long coordinates, we found them and we were able to take them to a nearby camp to get them all warm and dry. Many hunters feel that because they are hunting in shallow water, they need to go out in a small shallow draft boat. To get to the Delta, you will have to travel very deep and often rough water. Because of this, I have found that it’s safer to use a larger, safer boat and carry a pirogue. Anchor your boat in safe water and

use the pirogue to get to the sand bar. That way your transportation home doesn’t get stranded when the tide runs out. What you take as your basic essentials is limited to your knowledge and of course how much you can safely put in your boat. I have had the luxury of learning what I need to be prepared to survive from years of SAR missions. Personally, I won’t let my kids head out to the Delta without a SPOT Satellite Transmitter included in their survival kit. Hunting Atchafalaya Delta can be very fun and rewarding but just remember, when the weather is at its worst, it’s not worth risking your life.

GOOD DECISIONS

By Sgt. Richard Purvis

December 18th found Lt. Chad Hebert, Sr. Agt. Nicholas Guillory, and I working an afternoon shift in the western section of Terrebonne

Parish. The 18th was the opening day of the second split of the federal duck season. West Terrebonne is a virtual maze of interconnected bayous and canals running through both and fresh and brackish marsh. Ideal for ducks. The three of us had planned on working a night hunting complaint later that evening and had time to kill before the appointed hour, so we decided to try to check a few afternoon duck hunters on our way. As we made it to an area known as “Turtle Bayou”, we began hearing shotgun shots coming from the area. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the amount of shooting. We took notice that there were several groups of hunters hunting on their private leases in the area, but none of them were shooting anywhere near the amount of rounds that were coming from this particular area. We decided to zero in on the area and try to set up some sort of hasty surveillance.

Our first attempt found us on a dead-in bayou that we thought we might be able to locate the hunters. After 10 minutes or so of using binoculars to scan the area, we were unable to locate the hunters we were after. We did happen to notice a couple of guys dressed in camo behind a nearby camp who looked to be plucking birds. Since it was only about 4 p.m. we had plenty of time before it got dark so we decided to do a quick check. We pulled up to the camp without any notice. We walked around the back of the camp and kinda surprised the hunters. In all, there were four hunters at this particular camp. We conducted a quick license check and then started counting birds. When the counting was finished, we found that they had 32 ducks. When we advised them that they were over the

daily limit, (remember it’s opening day), they said knew that they were over. They figured they would killed their daily limit and their following day’s limit since the birds were flying, but swore they only intended to kill their remaining 16 ducks for their 48 combined ducks the following day so that they would be within their two day legal possession limit. Obviously we found that excuse a bit on the weak side so we went ahead and gave them a court date to be determined by the U.S. Attorney’s office. Maybe they will take that time to come up with a little better excuse. When we finished there, we continued on looking for our original group of hunters. We finally found the source of all the hunting; we found

that it was coming from a section of marsh behind a group of 4 camps. We decided to wait the hunter’s return and conduct some bag checks. Turned out to be a good decision. One camp was found to be in possession of 44 ducks among 4 hunters. Their excuses varied: other hunters had been at the camp that morning and some of the ducks were theirs, to,

“We thought that you could possess a two day limit.” (Again, it was opening day. Meaning you can only possess a daily bag limit. The following day they could have another daily bag limit for a total of a two day daily bag limit. They could not, however, possess a two day bag limit on the opening day.) As Chad and I handled these fellows, Nick was busy keeping another group of hunters under surveillance. These guys shot at (notice I didn’t say shot. They turned out to be “non-shooters”) passing ducks till after 6 p.m. Shooting hours ended at 5:04 p.m. that day. Needless to say, he went ahead and scratched a couple of federal citations off to that group as well. All and all, it ended up being a pretty successful duck patrol considering we were just looking to kill a little time.

By Sr. Agt. Dean Aucoin

I would like to take this time to thank Lafourche Parish District Attorney Camille “Cam” Morvant for donating to the Region Garmin GPS units for our vehicles. This

is a great tool for the agents in locating complaints and responding to calls in a timely manner. Once again thanks to all of our local District Attorneys for their support.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

By Sr. Agent Stephen Rhodes

I was working with Agt. Ryan Breaux in South Lafourche. We had an issue come up with a Boating Safety class that had been scheduled at

the High School and had lost a lot of time working to get the class back on line. Ryan is what my dad would refer to as a G.O.B. (Good Ole Boy). He comes to Region 6 B as a transplant from Pierre Part. He is easy going with a stocky build and not overly tall at 5’7”. Being so close to Highway 1 and Grand Isle we decided to work some roadside fishermen once we finished with the school. We got the class back on track, so we had headed south and were not having the best of luck finding any violations. Ryan spotted some guys fishing on a side road so we went to take a look. We found more of the same; guys with a few fish and all legal. As a rule I always try to account for all the vehicles parked in a fishing spot and get a look at them in case someone is stowing fish in their car or truck. There was a grey truck parked close to the guys we checked so I asked

them whose it was. I was informed that the owner of the truck had put a Kayak down and was out in the marsh fishing. Ryan and I agreed that it was best to head on down the road and maybe try to get back to this guy close to dark. Even though that was the plan, I still passed by the truck to have a look; who knows, he may have an ice chest or something that could be useful to know later if we catch up to him. There was nothing really in the cab of the truck that seemed interesting and the bed of the truck was mostly empty, except for some stray trash and what not. Have you ever had that moment when your eyes see something that it takes your brain a few moments to process? I couldn’t even say what it was that made me stop, just that something was wrong with what I saw. Ryan saw me put on the brakes and asked what was wrong. I told him I wasn’t sure. I went back to the bed of the truck and looked again and there it was tucked in against the side of the wheel well… a

talon. “No frickin way!” I went back to my truck and retrieved my camera and took evidence photos. As I was reaching down to pick it up, I saw it’s partner up against the side wall of the bed and took more pictures. I looked at Ryan and with my eyes wide like saucers, said, “I’m pretty sure he’s not supposed to have these.” We confiscated the talons and set up surveillance on the truck to wait for the owner to return. He showed up about an hour later. I initiated contact with him and the real work began. I started with checking basic stuff. His fishing licenses and catch were all legal. I advised him that I wanted to give him his Miranda Rights and I did. His demeanor changed big time and he started getting really nervous. I explained that we had found the talons in the bed of his truck and asked if he had an explanation for them. “Oh that. I got them from a friend to show to my girlfriend.” He seemed almost relieved and so I asked him if he knew what they were. “I think they are from a Red Winged Hawk.” (This is the part where I start hooting and hollering amidst a handstand, cartwheel, and a triple lindy… in my head.) I explained that hawks are a federally protected bird. “Oh yeah, but my buddy works on a ranch where they have a permit to kill them.” Nope, sorry, try again. I explained that to the best of my knowledge no such thing exists, but if he wanted he could write me out a statement including all of the names of the people involved, I would check into it. I think he realized his goose was cooked so he just clammed up and asked for his ticket. No problem. After all the paper work was done and our subject was on his way down the road (I even got a thank you from the subject when he got his ticket) I looked over to Ryan and said, “High Five time!!!” Once the celebration died down Ryan looked at me and said “I couldn’t have made that case.” Wow. What? I took on my mentor roll. I explained, “Ryan, sure you could have. It takes time on the job and you learn to spot when something isn’t right. Don’t defeat yourself before you start.” Ryan said, “No you don’t understand. I’m not tall enough to see into the bed of the truck.” OOOFFF, that’ll deflate your ego. I made a great case… because I was tall enough!

regulations, slow down, keep a sharp lookout and have a fun and safe summer. I’m the boating safety educator in my district. I keep up with boat accidents, their causes and the devastating results. I can tell you that all too often boat accidents involve very preventable causes. It’s up to YOU to make a difference. Already this year we’ve had a couple of fatal boat accidents. They were preventable. One of my other favorite topics where I like to try to raise public awareness and encourage people to do the right thing has to do with littering. So many people seem to be completely oblivious that even something as simple as a cigarette butt is litter. In fact, tossing a

single cigarette butt into the waters or onto a road ways is an offense that carries fi nes and court costs totaling as much as $450.00. Additionally, the violator is supposed to be sentenced to conduct eight hours of work with the area’s litter abatement program, which equates to picking up other people’s litter on the side of the highway. Our hunting season was quite productive. Many cases were made. The cases ran the usual gamete… night hunting, late shooting of migratory game birds, baiting of migratory game birds, unlicensed hunters, etc… This spring and summer we’ll be having our

NEW BOATING LAWS

By Sgt. T. Lewis

There still seems to be some confusion out on the waters as to age requirements with a few of the laws governing boating. Listed below, please

find relevant Louisiana Revised Statutes (LARS). A few changes have taken place in the past several years. Please make a note of them. When these changes take place, I sometimes overhear members of the public accusing the department of making changes so as to raise revenue by writing more citations. This is not correct. The department doesn’t get a nickel of the fine monies collected from the citations that are written by wildlife agents. These statutory changes are brought on by the study of accident statistics. Problem areas are identified and solutions are proposed to the legislature. The legislature then decides whether they will or will not implement suggested changes. The below listed changes are geared strictly toward saving lives. We hope that you will agree that they are sensible changes and will choose to voluntarily comply. Have a safe summer!

BoatsLARS 34:851.36. Boating safety education required: A. Except as provided in Subsection B of this Section, no person born after January 1, 1984, shall operate a motorboat powered by a motor in excess of ten horsepower unless he has successfully completed a boating safety class approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). A person who has completed an approved boating safety class shall be in possession of evidence of such completion when operating such a boat. B. A motorboat may be operated if any person on board or participating in any boating activity from the motorboat is over the age of eighteen and, if required to have completed a boating safety course under the provisions of Subsection A of this Section, has completed the required boating safety course.

PWC’sLARS 34:855.3 E. - No person under the age of

sixteen may operate a personal watercraft on the waters of this state. LARS 34:855.3 F. - It shall be unlawful for the owner of any personal watercraft or any person having charge over or control of a personal watercraft to authorize or knowingly permit the same to be operated by a person under the age or in the absence of the conditions provided for in Subsection E of this Section.

PFD’s (Life Jackets)LARS 34:851.24 F (2) - Every person sixteen years or younger on board a Class A or Class 1 motorboat or vessel shall wear a coast guard approved life jacket or life preserver while such outboard motorboat or vessel is underway.

STRAWBERRIES AND DEER

By Sr. Agent Hal Bridges

January 11th, 2011 was a pretty cold, wet and long day! At the end of the day all I was looking forward to was some hot food and a warm house.

I pulled up to my house at the end of my shift, glad this day was over… or so I thought! I was just about to get off the clock when an informant called with a complaint. Agents know and understand how many times this happens and how it usually just doesn’t pan out with a good case. Nonetheless, I put my patrol unit in reverse, backed out of my favorite driveway and headed towards the location of the complaint. I had rather sketchy details and wasn’t familiar with this particular area. As I neared the area it was around 7:45 p.m. Sunset that day was about 5:30 p.m.

Did I mention it was cold and wet? Is it possible to say “GRRRRRRR!!! and “BRRRRRRR” at the same time? I tried to as I put on my backpack,

grabbed my night vision in one hand and grabbed my binoculars in the other hand. I took off through the woods towards the location. The targeted area was rural and residential with houses spread out just enough that deer from the adjacent swamp might feel comfortable feeding near the residences. My attitude quickly improved as I came to realize this little tip from a concerned citizen may indeed prove to be a good one after all. Even with the sketchy details, the layout was pretty close to being perfect. It seemed like perhaps, maybe, this time, I was in the right place at the right time. At least seemed so.

From the targeted residence I saw a large floodlight shining down a garden. There was a storage building on one side and a small shed on the other. While lying in the field with the garden, I saw several deer grazing slowly toward the garden. This was

going to be great! Around 8:40 I heard what sounded like a .22 caliber fire and saw 2 deer run across the road. Now at this time I begin moving toward the shot, but I was still trying to keep the element of surprise on my side since I had no idea who I might end up dealing with nor how many subjects there might be. While moving toward the small shack I see a dubious duo of night hunting patrons, with what appear to be firearms, exit from the small shed and split up. One hurries to turn off the light and the other moves toward the front of the house. They were on the move, and I had to pick up the pace myself. Ahh! By the time I get there all I am able to do is get descriptions of their trucks with license plate numbers. BUMMER!!! Now was the time to gamble a lil’ bit! I bet on this duo to come back out the next night. Why not?

Strawberries and Deer

The forecast said it was going to be a perfect night for deer to be moving. The next day I went on a lil’ recon of the area, in order to get my bearings and find a better angle of approach. I invited Senior Agent Randy Lanoux and Sergeant Todd Lewis to come play. We discussed our game plan. Basically, all that our dubious duo had to do was show up that night and hunt. Well, wouldn’t you know that at about 7:35 p.m. I watched as one of the vehicles from the night before pull into the driveway. YES!!! That subject walked out to the shop with a shotgun. I then watched as another subject got into position beside the house with a crossbow…. uh… oops… to hunt the very field where I hiding to watch this evening’s activities. Uh oh. Talk about an uncomfortable moment!!! I ducked down and tried to become invisible. I prayed that the light wasn’t bright enough to reach me from the shooter’s perspective. I kept waiting to hear the telltale “twang” of the crossbow and feel something pierce my man-hide. Luckily, I was able to crawl behind two large

downed trees that just so happen to be lying in the wide open. Now that I had found cover and concealments I waited… and watched… My partners, Lanoux and Lewis, were in position nearby, and deer were starting to walk through the field that I was lying in. Talk about a RUSH!!! My senses were electric. Every nerve was on edge. Now the deer might have had some good sense about them or were just lucky that night. They skirted around the glow of the floodlight, walked right past me, and ambled slowly to the back of the field. I watched my dubious duo gather their gear and watched as they put it all in their respective vehicles. Evidently, the smaller of the two decided it was time to roll out. Little did he know, we weren’t going to let that happen. He wasn’t going far this night. Lanoux and Lewis were on him like lions on a wounded gazelle. When the dust settled, agents learned that the night hunters were a father and son duo. The field belonged to the man’s father-in-law, who is the grandfather of the younger part of the dubious duo. Evidently, “Grandpa” had asked the son-in-law and

Strawberries and Deer

grandson to come shoot the deer that were eating his garden at night. This little garden was barely bigger than the carport space needed to park a pickup truck. Whatta shame. Whatta mistake. The son-in-law and grandson now face fines of up to about $6000. Later, I couldn’t help but wonder… if grandpa had adopted a dog to tie up out by the garden, how big of a dog house and how much dog food would $6000 buy? I’m thinking that would be one FINE dog house and that the dog could eat steak at least once a week for the rest of its life. Also, I wondered… How many strawberries would $6000 buy? Several pickup truck loads I’m betting. Agents know that more often than not, complaints don’t always pan out due to a number of factors. We also know that there is no chance of making a good case if you don’t show up and that it feels sooooooooo good when the stars are in your favor and a good case is made!!!

Hello again from Region 8. Activities

have returned to normal despite the fact that BP Closure patrols are still being handled by agents in both the A and B districts. Now that all of the hunting seasons are closed our attention has been focused more on boating safety, recreational, and commercial fi shing. From black panthers in Pheonix, Louisiana, to pirate monkeys on Bourbon St.: if the fi rst two months of 2011 are any indicator of the year to come, we are in for an interesting year to say the least. Two different fatality boat incidents marked the new year with a solemn reminder of one of our chief duties as boating safety officers and educators. Several cases were made with the extraordinary influx of Red Drum into the interior marshes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes in addition to some notable duck cases made on the Pass A Loutre WMA.

REGION 8

Hard work and investigation paid off in a deer baiting cases on Salvador WMA in addition to a duck baiting case made on the eastbank of St. Charles parish. Who could forget the Bassmasters Classic in New Orleans. Perhaps Lake Catouachee will be “on the map” from this point forward. Another case has received some media attention due to its bizarre elements, but I will include an in-depth article in a future magazine. Region 8 says goodbye to Agt. Terry Hicks as he transferred to Region 7. We also would like to welcome Cadet Jarod Taylor. He recently graduated the LDWF Academy and currently resides in St. Charles parish. The retirement of Lt. Robert Martin was perhaps the biggest change in personnel, to say the least. We will all truly miss his leadership and unique sense of humor. I would not dare to write an article about the man despite the fact that in less than five years of knowing him, I could probably fill at least ten pages of print with humorous and insightful tales.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH DISTRICT ATTORNEY DONATES USEFUL FIELD EQUIPMENT TO REGION 8 AGENTS

By Sgt. Adam Young

The District Attorneys office of Plaquemines parish has been known and praised for its hard work with wildlife

agents in the swift prosecution of wildlife offense that occurred within the parish over the last several years. In addition to a prosecution rate which makes some think twice about committing the same offenses, the District Attorney has set up a “wildlife fund” which generates money solely from fines paid by those found guilty of violating wildlife laws. With this money the District Attorney and his staff contact the Region 8 District B Agents, who primarily work Plaquemines parish and neighboring St. Bernard parish for suggestions on equipment purchases. To date we have received four boats, night vision scopes, radars, and most recently an industrial ice machine. 2011 started off no different when District Attorney Charles Ballay, and Assistant District Attorney Jerry Lobrano presented the agents of Plaquemines and St. Bernard the latest Stinger LED flashlight from Streamlight as well as four 3 ½ ton jacks. The jacks are a much needed tool since Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes have two 32’ Boston Whalers, and two 24’ Boston Whalers which are extremely difficult to jack up to perform maintenance issues. The flashlights will be on for several hours as the closed season shrimp patrols are nearing, and the worst thing any agent will tell you that can happen is not having adequate light when working at night. Especially when dealing with any potential violators. Mr. Ballay and Mr. Lobrano, we salute you and your hard working staff for your undying and unwavering support of the wildlife agents of Plaquemines and St. Bernard parish. THANK YOU!

Sgt. Adam Young, Sr. Agt. Robert Cosse, Sr. Agt. Villerie Reggio with Plaquemines Parish District Attorney Charles Ballay and Assisstant District Attorney Jerry Lobrano and the much appreciated gear purchased on behalf of the DA’s offi ce for the region agents.

GAME WARDEN WORK

By Sr. Agent Tim Fox

As this job evolves, new technologies and policies are born. I remember working with Sgt. Ray Champagne one day a couple years

back. We were walking into the Lake Marina Grill (locally known to the 8A agents as “The Taco Stand”.) This place has arguably the best authentic tacos in the greater New Orleans area, but I digress. When I caught a glimpse of our reflections in the glass door, I had to chuckle. I told Ray, “I bet you never thought you’d see the day the two game wardens bring their laptops into a restaurant on their lunch break (even just to do paperwork).” He laughed and agreed that the job is far different than it was when he first came on and he added, “It’s not too often that we find ourselves doing old school game warden work.” (Spending all night in the woods to catch night hunters. Hiding in the grass for a whole day to observe a duck hunt, jumping from one moving motorboat to another to shut down a gillnetter trying to escape). Those of us who have been on for a few years

can probably all retell legends passed on by agents from the past. We know that the reality which more than likely exists behind some of these grand tales is far less glamorous than the final drafts we hear time and again. However, we know that some of the stories are true and accurate and as extreme as they may seem, it appears to be that extreme nature that draws us to them like moths to a flame. Maybe it wasn’t the case for all game wardens or maybe I had a screw loose or something, but I remember thinking that I’d feel like a game warden after I was stranded on a satellite rig to observe closed season shrimpers, belly crawled across a field to catch poachers in the act, or any of several other scenarios that could result in some form of personal glory. Well, I wouldn’t

dare give away the moral of this story just yet. But I can tell you what helped me come up with this crazy theory. Late January with only two weekends left in the duck season, we received a complaint that a pond is baited. So we find it, scoop it, and document it. I hate to say that I drew the short straw but it was determined that I was going to observe the hunt. After having been to the location and having worked the plan out, I found myself in a “glorious” situation. It was 2:30am and it was 23degrees outside. I was just dropped off by my partner and I was facing a mile and a half walk through some woods with a dense canopy in complete darkness. I started to feel a little crazy when I thought to myself, “This is awesome”. In an attempt to expedite the story, I can tell you that we made the case. However I felt that the most intriguing part was my physical reaction to the situation at go-time. From 2:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. I was laid out in the prone position approximately 50 yards from the

duckblind. Given my proximity to the blind, I had to remain motionless the whole time. I think the temperature only dropped another degree or two just prior to making the stop. But I could tell that I was in the beginning stages of hypothermia. I noticed all of the telltale signs and was actually exhausted in addition to the cold. However, when it became time to make the stop, something else kicked in. It was almost as if someone flipped a switch. I was immediately warm and full of energy despite the extreme conditions I had been exposed to. I was able to perform the investigation and felt fine the entire time. It all hit me like a ton of bricks when I got home that afternoon. The exhaustion and the residual chills got the best of me. When talking to a friend a few days later I recall him saying, “Man, ya’ll have to be crazy to do that job.” That’s exactly when it hit me. Maybe he was right. Performing the duties that the past agents would

call “game warden” work doesn’t necessarily make you feel like a game warden. However, looking forward to enduring some misery for the chance to hunt and catch the world’s most intelligent animal is the trick. My six hours in the frozen swamp may not be a high speed vessel to vessel stunt dive or the capture of a career game law violator. But, now I know the symptoms to look for. Any little discomforts suffered while waiting and hiding were well worth the satisfaction of the catch. While there are fleeting moments that we get to stalk poachers in the woods or illegal fisherman at night or to brave extraordinary circumstances, we have to admit that largely those days are far and few between. The duties of a game warden may have evolved over time, but the spirit and determination is the legacy handed down to us from the past. It’s up to us to uphold that spirit, improve upon it, and pass it on over time.
