PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
nce again the Law Enforcement Division of the LDWF SGT. SCOTT MATHEWS PRESIDENT, LWAA has been called upon to lead the ght against perhaps a larger opponent than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The oil spill related to the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon has threatened to destroy valuable wetlands in the states coastal area. Not only are our marshlands and natural resources being attacked, but also the culture and way of life for thousands of people. With huge numbers of workers descending upon the coastal region, the LDWF LED role from the onset of this disaster is to focus on preventing and minimizing negative impacts of sheries and wildlife resources, public safety protection, maritime security,and crime prevention and detection. With our equipment such as boats, airplane, and mobile command unit, the LDWF LED was the rst state agency to respond and will continue in our role as this disaster carries on. As

if the oil spill response is not enough, we still have to carry on with our boating safety patrols, boating accident investigations, and sport/commercial shing compliance throughout the state. As the legislative session has just ended, it was overshadowed by the oil spill. Still, the LDWF had a successful session. Our budget is sound and we will begin an cadet academy in September with twenty seven positions being announced. New equipment such as trucks and boats will be issued soon. Our I Got Caught Wearing My Life Jacket program had another successful year as over three thousand t-shirts were distributed to youth that were wearing their life jackets while Enforcement Agents performed boating safety checks. If we saved even one life with this program, it was a success, and one that will be continued. In closing, I would like to thank our supporters and contributors who have donated time and money to the LWAA. Without your support, many of our projects would be in jeopardy. We appreciate and thank you.

gents all over the state have been working diligently to help protect and secure waterways affected by the recent oil crisis in the Gulf Coast. We are proud to do our part to help in this historic oil spill. Agents here in Region 1 have seen more of the Louisiana coast in the past two months than they probably have in their entire life. We have been to Hopedale, Venice, Grand Isle and Cocodrie. We appreciate the hospitality that the people in this area continue to extend to our agents. This oil spill has had and will continue to have a huge effect on our entire state and country. We will continue to work hard and do our part to protect our states people and coastline. Well, summer time is denitely here in Region 1. I keep hearing the weatherman saying that a cool front will be coming through later in the week and the temperatures should drop into the mid-90s. What?? Mid-90s?? I consider summer cool to be in the low-70s, not that I am not grateful for any relief from this hot weather. Everyone is heading to the water to try to beat these record high temperatures. Agents in Region 1 have been working hard to keep everyone safe on the water. I am concerned that we continue to run across the same safety violations. These violations are not obscure laws; they are the same basic safety laws. The major violations are: not enough PFDs, expired boat registrations, no running lights, violating no wake zones, and riding on the decks. It takes just a few seconds to do a quick check of your safety equipment to make sure that your day on the water is ticket free, but more importantly, a safe one. The last two most common violations are easy not as easy to check

Region 1 Update continued

before heading out, but are essential to pay attention to in order to maintain safe waterways. The No Wake Zone areas are either marked or are 300 feet from any public launch or dock. One easy way to remember to stay within the No Wake Zone law is to treat others as you would want to be treated. Would you want someone to come by throwing a wake while your boat is slammed against the dock, knocking chunks out of your berglass boat or scratching that new paint? Just a thought. Last but not least, boat operators, please do not let passengers hang over the bow of the boat while running down the lake. If someone goes off the front of the boat they will denitely be run over by the boat. You would not put people on the hood of your car and drive down the road, so why would you do that in a boat? If you are considering it, you

might need to question the validity of the friendship before allowing them on your boat in the rst place! Remember, safety is the number one consideration in my job. We are not out to ruin your day; were out to save a life. Please take just a moment to think about all of these safety laws when you are out enjoying the waterways of Louisiana so that everyone will return home safely. With this heat, please remember to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun while you are on the water. Make sure you are protecting your head from the direct sun by wearing a hat or staying under a canopy, and remember the sunscreen. Always bring extra water for each person aboard because you never know when your trip may be extended. Until next time, stay safe!

AGENTS PROMOTE DEPARTMENT AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL


By Sgt. Troy Parker

ne of the greatest things that we as agents can do for our communities is to be involved with the youth in every possible way. During these times, I believe we have an obligation to instill lasting principles that will stay with them throughout their adult life. Many of these young people, especially those in the rural areas, grow up learning to hunt and sh from parents and peers, so they probably will encounter a game warden at some time or another. Because of that, I certainly would like to have some positive input as to their mind set and responsibilities as partakers of the resources of this great state. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit one of our local High Schools in Desoto Parish as they participated in an annual career day. Ive been attending for the past 4 years and it really is a great time for me to be on campus and represent one of the best careers on Gods green earth. The school is very active in trying to give the students a variety of ideas as to what career they may want to pursue, and I gladly accept the invitation to present our career opportunity. When I show up, I always bring a lot of props, and that in turn results in immediate attention. I cant help but chuckle inside as I hear and see all the reactions to the bobcat mounts, deer horns, and duck mounts that I walk through their halls with. Even the teachers want

to attend my sessions, just to hear the stories about what we do. If the truth were known, I think some of them want to be a game warden too! After all, the common statement I get is, I always wanted to be a game warden. After each session, some of the students come by the display table and pick up materials and information on a career with the Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries/Enforcement Division. I take that opportunity to share one on one with them and emphasize how great a job this is. They also get to touch the props and look at photo albums that I bring and it adds to their desire to pursue this career. It also gives me a chance to meet some of the children of the adults

that Ive already met in the eld. Every now and then, I run into a student that tells me about the citation I issued to their dad, uncle, or cousin. I simply smile and let them know that its part of the job and nothing personal. We all know that one of the biggest problems we face is a generational grudge. Hopefully, being visible on our public school campuses and interacting with the public in every way possible, we will change the attitude toward the agents around our state. Im proud to be a wildlife enforcement agent, and I believe we are a unique and important part of law enforcement in this state. Our job has its share of difculties and challenges, but we are all highly trained and we will see to it that each task we face is handled with skill and determination so that the end result will be positive. Let me encourage all my fellow agents stay committed, condent, and determined to be the best you can be. Those things will be contagious to the public, both young and old, and will bring forth good results in all our efforts. Until next time, be safe and prosperous in all you do.

TEAMWORK
By Agent Jay Thomas

ince I have been with the Department, Ive had the opportunity to work on cases with four different state wildlife agencies. This particular case, I was able to work with a wildlife ofcer with the Arkansas Game and Fish. It was early March and I was patrolling a particular area in Bossier Parish where there is usually some gross litter to be found. I was able to locate a large pile on the back side of Cypress Lake and after a little bit of digging and a lot of mosquito bites, I was able to locate some mail. The address came back to a resident located in the other district of the region. I met up with Senior Agent Frank Reger and we proceeded to the address to make contact. We arrived at the location and found that the lights were on but nobody was home. The truck sitting in the driveway had Arkansas plates and had an Arkansas registered aluminum boat in tow. A quick call to LDWF dispatch let us know that the truck was registered to the suspect whom we needed to speak with. Now, this peaked our curiosity just a little, so we ran his information to check which state he possessed a drivers license in and if he had purchased a Louisiana resident shing or hunting license. Dispatch conrmed that our suspect (well call him George) possessed a Louisiana drivers license and that he recently purchased a resident basic shing

license. I contacted Arkansas Wildlife Ofcer Clay Rayburn about what I had, and told him that he might need to check on Georges Arkansas status. A couple days later, Ofcer Rayburn called me back and informed me that George had an Arkansas ID card coming back to a post ofce box in a small podunk town just across the state line and that George purchased an Arkansas resident hunting and shing license. Now were getting somewhere!! Smells like fraud to me! Ofcer Rayburn was able to round him up in Arkansas a few weeks later and informed George that LDWF also needed to speak with him. That same day I was able to meet up with Ofcer Rayburn and George at the state line, where I issued George a citation for Gross Littering. George also received a citation from Ofcer Rayburn for Obtaining a License by Fraud.

THE DEER DOCTOR


By Sgt. Troy Parker

t never ceases to amaze me, the things people do and the excuses they give for doing them. No offense or disrespect, but I wonder if using common sense ever occurred to some that we encounter. Ive had a few cases in my career that the only thing to do afterward is shake my head and say unbelievable under my breath. Anyway, heres a case that recently took place that I want to share that falls under the category of Its something weve always done! Nothing really spectacular, but it does seem to be a trend among the folks here in Louisiana. I received a call from one of my informants who happened to be in town. The rst thing out of his mouth after I answered was, Is it illegal to have a spotted fawn in your truck? He knew it was, but I obliged him by saying, Only if hes got a permit. He told me that as he was walking into a store, he passed a lady who told him that there was a baby deer in a truck parked in the parking lot. He said he really didnt believe it was a fawn, but he walked close to the truck and sure enough, it was. I knew you would want to know about it, so I called! After getting the location and vehicle information, I threw on some work clothes and went 10-8. When I arrived, I immediately saw the truck and pulled up beside it. Inside the cab was a healthy spotted fawn lying on the oor board. It got up when I looked inside and started walking on the seat. My informant told me that he thought the owner of the truck

was wearing blue jean overalls and had on a cowboy hat. Well, when I stepped away from the truck, there was the owner walking toward me, just as was described. He had a big grin on his face and when he came near me, I identied myself and told him I was there to inquire about the fawn. Yeah, I picked the thing up off the road this morning and was gonna take it home and raise it. I asked him if he had a permit to do that and he said, I didnt know I had to have one, but Ill sure go get one. He also told me that he raised cows and he knew about how to raise baby deer cause Ive raised em before in the past. I couldnt help but smile and chuckle as he looked at me with his big grin as though it was no big deal. And I guess to some its not a big deal, but it doesnt negate the law.

The Deer Doctor continued

At that time, I explained the violation and told him that I was going to issue a citation and seize the deer. He kept telling me that he was just trying to do the right thing and that he didnt want the little deer to get run over. I couldnt help thinking, Yeah, and you wanted to add some venison to the beef supply in your freezer. I promise I didnt say that, but its probably the truth. I did tell him that next time, just leave the deer alone. After I issued the citation, I took the fawn to a local zoo that takes care of orphaned animals and tries to give them as normal a life as possible. It will enjoy life with three other fawns that the zoo had. Another exciting day at the ofce of your local game wardenthis job sure is fun! Oh, and the people we encounter, sometimes theyre even more fun! Until next time, be safe and enjoy life.

UP IN SMOKE!
By Agent Jay Thomas

he morning of March 26, 2010 seemed to start out like any other cool spring morning. I began making my rounds in north Bossier Parish, checking several turkey hunters and nding zero violations. About 9:30 that morning, I began thinking my window of opportunity was closing fast. I was easing down one of the remote roads heading toward town when I observed a blue four door car sitting at an abandoned oil well site. The car was sitting next to the wood line and I could see two occupants in the vehicle. I thought to myself, That is a really odd place to be parked at this time of the morning! I turned my truck around to see what they were up to and as I began approaching the oil site, I met them on the road, heading in my direction. I activated my blue lights to make a window to window stop and make contact with the driver. The driver pulled past my truck and nally decided to stop. I quickly exited my unit and walked up to the driver window to speak to the occupants. When the driver, well call him Larry, rolled down the window it was apparent why he didnt want to stop. It looked as if the inside of the car was on re! Smoke was pouring from inside the vehicle! I asked what they had been doing, but it was pretty obvious from the smell and the smoke what they had been doing! The driver said they had been smoking some marijuana that morning. What? Really? Ya think??

I asked him if they had any more and he said, Yes, handing me a small bag. I looked down in the console and noticed a pill bottle with the label removed. I asked him to hand it to me, looked inside and found three Hydrocodone pills. At this time I asked Larry and the passenger, whom well call Bob, to step out of the vehicle. I asked them if there was anything else in the vehicle and Bob said that there were some smoking pipes in the back seat of the car. I asked them both again if there was anything else in the vehicle. Larry started acting really nervous and began looking back at the vehicle. Now, I thought what else could possibly be in there?? Larry said, Well theres some cocaine in the front seat. Ah! I

see now the extent of the nervousness!! I placed Larry and Bob in handcuffs and read them their rights. Senior Agents Michael Dunn and Toby Meyers arrived shortly after I logged them 10-15 with dispatch. They helped me nish searching the car where we found another bag of marijuana and a Legend drug without prescription (a legend drug is any drug that requires a prescription.) Bossier Parish Deputies Rick Blalock and Wade Allen arrived on scene for a transport and helped us inventory the car for the tow truck to arrive. After the smoke and dust cleared, I booked both Larry and Bob into the Bossier Parish Maximum Facility with the nal charges of Possession of Schedule II Narcotic, Cocaine; Possession of Schedule II Narcotic, Hydrocodone; Possession of Schedule I Narcotic, Marijuana; Possession Legend Drug; and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Our job requires us to be out in remote locations and back roads. We are nding more people that are taking their drug experiences to the woods, and even the WMAs trying to avoid the real police.

REGION 2
UPDATE

SGT. JOE CHANDLER, JR

Hello from Region 2. I am Sgt. Joe Chandler, recently elected representative for Region 2. This is my rst update in my rst magazine, so Im just hoping to not make too big a mess of it. Im very proud to represent this region, and all the ne agents in it. Id like to take this opportunity to say thank you to departing representative Josh Estis, from whom Im taking the reins for Region 2, for his ne service as LWAA representative. I hope to represent my region at least as well as he did. As expected, the dominant story since the last magazine has been the BP oil spill. 11 people lost their lives in the initial explosion,

and multitudes more are in danger of losing their livelihoods. From the shermen, who catch the seafood and the guides who take others to do it, to the restaurants and industries who rely on Louisiana seafood to provide the greatest dining experience possible, the magnitude of this industrial disaster is almost incalculable. Our department has perhaps never been more important than it is right now, as the custodians and defenders of Louisianas natural resources. Personally, I couldnt be more proud of us, both as a department and as individual agents, for the way weve stepped

up and done the job. Its always that way though; when something needs doing, we nd a way to get it done, no matter the inconvenience and hardship to ourselves and our families. On top of the frequent rotations to the southern regions, weve been pretty active at home. D.W.I. enforcement has been very vigorous and fruitful so far this year, both on the road and on the water. Its hard to quantify results when something doesnt happen, but theres no doubt vigorous enforcement prevents accidents and saves lives. Most agents in the region were, at some Continued

point, able to participate in sobriety checkpoints with other agencies as well. As usual, we shone in such situations and invariably were asked to return, due to the high levels of competence, professionalism, and enthusiasm exhibited by the agents involved. It was a wonderful experience for us as well, as we got to show other departments what were capable of when given the opportunity and we got learn some, too. There are some exceptionally knowledgeable ofcers out there, and we were able to work with a lot of them. Were all on the same team, and it was great to be able to play on the same eld for a spell. One of our most popular shing lakes was drained this year, in order to make improvements to its dam and to clear portions of it for more varied recreational activities. When the water started going

down, the shing really turned on, and as usual, a few citizens didnt know when to say when. Multiple over-limit cases were made, and a ton of effort was poured into enforcement efforts on Turkey Creek. Despite the fact that BP is pouring a lot of money into this part of the country, the people we serve are facing very tough times in the long term. I fully expect to see sportsmen doing things out of desperation and a sense of impending doom. This just makes what is an already dangerous job even more so. Its up to each and every one of us to conduct ourselves professionally and courteously, but most of all, safely. We dont manage animals, we manage people. I know were up to the challenge. Take care, and have a safe summer!

GRAVEYARD PARKING
By Sr. Agent Lee Tarver

n a cold windy, winter night in January this last hunting season, I decided to work an area in South Franklin Parish that I had received several complaints about. This was not just another cold night. It had not gotten above freezing that day and was already about 25 degrees. Around 7:30 p.m., I had set up in my hiding place and just started eating an MRE for dinner, when I saw a vehicle pull into the back of a nearby grave yard. Then its lights went off. Keep in mind, this graveyard is in the middle of nowhere and it is well after dark, not to mention that everything is iced over. There are only two things that come to my mind when I see someone parking at night, and one of them usually does not take place in a graveyard. I turned my sneeklight on and slowly drove into the graveyard blacked out. The vehicle was running, and the only visible light coming from the vehicle was a lighter that was burning continuously. I drove right up behind the truck and turned on my blue lights. When the driver saw the blue lights, he floored it, but because the road was frozen over he just sat there spinning his tires for a few seconds. During this time, I observed something being thrown out of the passenger window. The subject managed to drive a few yards before he realized that running from the game warden in a graveyard was probably a bad idea. I called Franklin Parish Deputy Michael Wilson for back-up, knowing that he was also working close by. I decided to play it cool with the occupants of the vehicle until back-up arrived. I walked up to the drivers side of the vehicle and asked the driver what they were doing. He stated they were just hanging out, drinking a beer. There

were two guys and one girl in the vehicle at that time. Everyone in the vehicle had that deer-in-the-headlights look, and was squirming in their seats like they had ants in their pants. I got everyone out of the vehicle, and after a little persuading, placed everyone in hand cuffs for their safety and for mine. I then asked the driver for consent to look in the vehicle, which he gave permission to do so. There, in plain view, was a big wad of money with a small bag of meth sitting in a cup holder. Deputy Wilson arrived on scene at that time and when he saw who it was, he said that they all had a long list of drug related charges, including cooking and selling Methamphetamine. Deputy Wilson recovered a glass pipe containing Meth that they had thrown out of the window. Hidden under the cup holder in the center console of the truck was a set of scales, which the occupant had been using to weigh the Methamphetamine. The young lady was extremely upset. She informed me that the driver of the vehicle was her sisters husband, and she had already been caught cheating once before with him. Her sister was also incarcerated in the prison, where she knew she would end up before the night was over. All three subjects were arrested for Possession of CDS II (Methamphetamine), Possession of an Alcoholic Beverage in a motor vehicle upon a public road, and Possession of drug Paraphernalia. Two of the subjects were also out on parole at that time. The trio thought they had picked a good place where they could rest and smoke a little dope in peace. However, this would not be their final resting place for the night. It just goes to show that you never know who is hiding in the dark watching you!

DIFFERENT FOR ME
By Sgt. Joe Chandler

ften, we make a huge distinction between our jobs as enforcement agents depending on where we happen to work. Certain things are different, sure. I might spend most of my hunting season on a 4 wheeler, while an agent in St. Bernard might still be patrolling the marsh in a boat. The fundamentals are the same, though. Know the law, know your area, know your job, and youll be fine. While the job may be essentially the same, different areas definitely require different techniques to work them. This maxim was driven home when I got the opportunity to work with Sgt. Ray Champagne, in Plaquemines Parish. I and Agent Ray Ellerbe were riding with Sgt. Champagne in one of the 32-foot Boston Whalers, patrolling the area around Bayou Baptiste Collette. Due to the BP oil spill, the area around this waterway was closed to fishing, either because of detected pollution, or as a precautionary measure. It was a shame, too, because there were a lot of shrimp in these waters, and they looked good. The area inside the points was open, but not the waters outside them. As we were patrolling, Sgt. Champagne noticed several boats fishing in the sound out of Baptiste Collette. The boats all had their skimmers down. We watched these boats shrimping, with Sgt. Champagne firmly convinced they were doing so in a closed area. So, he did exactly what I wouldnt have donehe let them be, at least for a little while. I noticed we drove close by each boat he believed was in the closed area. At the time I thought he was just verifying that they were indeed shrimping. What I didnt notice was that he was marking the location and time of each boat on the GPS. Typically at home, if we catch a group in a closed area, we deal with that group then move on to the next. If one group sees you and you leave it to check another, by the time you get back to the first, theyre long gone. You have to deal with them as you find them. Sgt. Champagne knew they had nowhere to go that we couldnt catch up with them, so he marked each one until we had the whole group charted.
Summer 2010

After we had the group of five shrimp boats located, Sgt. Champagne called in their coordinates to a plotting station (which I didnt even know existed). The plotting station confirmed the location of each boat shrimping inside the closed area, with boats varying distances inside from around 2 to almost 4 miles inside the closed area. We then returned to each boat, had them pull up their nets, move to a central location, and anchor. After all the boats were gathered up, we began issuing citations to the captains and deckhands. I think we issued 14 citations in about 45 minutes. They then had to turn their catch back into the water. I felt kind of badly for them, but as professional fishermen, its their responsibility to know which areas are open or closed. It was the first time Id ever been involved with a closed area shrimping case in the Gulf region, after almost 11 years on the job. It was an interesting experience, and gave me some ideas on how to be more effective in my home region. It was interesting to see how agents in other regions have developed tactics to deal with the violations they face regularly, and how it shapes their view of the job. Mostly, though, it was great to get to do something I dont do every day. Its nice to break out of the rut from time to time.

OLD TIME OUTLAW


By Sr. Agent Leya Grover

hen I first applied for an enforcement position with the La. Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, I already had an understanding of the job from growing up with family members and friends of the family who were game wardens. I knew that it would be late nights, early morning and long weekends. Over the years things in our department have changed, but some things never change. My first spring out of the academy while still on FTO (field training), I was assigned to go sit on some nets in Tensas River with another agent for this particular day. I knew that it was going to be a long and boring day. We sat there most of the day and no one showed. As spring went on we got very busy with other fisherman and boating safety, but nets in Tensas River were not forgotten. The next spring, Sr. Agent John Hendrix and I boated down the Tensas River to check on the same nets. There they were in the same spots they had been in the previous year. We pulled the nets up and they contained several white perch. We stretched the nets back out just like we had found them and devised a plan. The plan was to go back to the landing and I would drive around to the other side of the river to watch from the opposite bank. John would stay in the boat and when I saw the crappie being loaded in the boat, he would make contact. As I arrived on the opposite bank, I heard a boat paddle hit the side of a boat. I ran to the river bank to see the fisherman loading a bucket into his truck. Now you all know its better to see the fish come directly out of the net, so we chose not to approach him and back off this time. After talking with other long time agents, we found that a few of them had been after this old time outlaw for a long time. One agent sat on these nets for days and when the old time outlaw showed up to run them, there was someone fishing on the bank up river so the old time outlaw messed around with a trotline and left without checking any of his nets. Another agent, who also sat for days, saw the old time outlaw raise the nets, which were full of white perch, and then lower them back into the water, tie his boat up
Summer 2010

and leave. The next spring and summer were so busy that I did not even have time to check on the nets. So this spring I made it a point to work south Tensas Parish in Tensas River. Sr. Agent Hendrix and I put my boat in and headed south. We found the nets in the same place they were for the past three years. When we pulled the nets up to see what was in them, they only contained two to three white perch. This told me that the nets were most likely run the previous day. The next day we came in just before daylight by boat and Hendrix dropped me off on the bank between two of the nets. He took the boat around the bend up river and we waited. This would have to be the most boring part of the job. We sat from daylight till almost dark and nothing. At the end of the day, all I knew was that I would be back in the same place doing the same thing tomorrow. On the third day, Sgt. Larry May dropped me off on the bank and he occupied the boat. It was another long, hot, slow, boring day. Our net fisherman did not show up. I wasnt giving up this time. I was going to sit there on those nets every day until I got him. On the fourth day, Sr. Agent Lee Tarver met me close to the river bank. He set up watching one net, I set up on the net closest to the boat and Sgt. Larry May set up down the road. Around lunch time, a red Toyota pulled up at the camp across the street. Two men got out of the Toyota

and messed around the camp for what seemed to be an hour. After that, they got back in the Toyota and I thought we were busted. I thought they might have seen us and were about to leave. I thought all the hard work and long hours I had put in were about to be thrown out the window, but they didnt leave. They pulled across the road and down the hill to the boat tied up to the bank. They loaded an empty five gallon yellow bucket into the boat. They cranked the motor and went straight to the net directly in front of Sr. Agent Tarver. He watched them empty the fish from the net into the yellow bucket. They reset the net and headed my way. It looked like a routine for these two men. As they approached the net I was watching, they pulled it up, untied the end and emptied all the fish into the yellow bucket. That was all I needed to see. Tarver and I had been in contact on the radio and it was time to make our move. I eased through the woods, toward where they had their boat tied up,

until I could see the red Toyota. I didnt want to make contact until the yellow bucket full of white perch was in the bed of the truck. As one of them tied the boat up, the other toted the yellow bucket right up to the truck and put in the back. At this point Tarver and I stepped out and introduced ourselves, as May was driving up to meet us. We explained to the two men that we had witnessed everything. All they could say was, All we wanted was a mess of fish to eat. Our jobs consist of long days, long nights and long weekends in the cold, in the heat, in the rain, but isnt it all worth it when you get that adrenaline rush from catching that night hunter or that game hog?!!

TOO MANY FISH


By Sr. Agent Leya Grover

s everyone from region 4 knows, Turkey Creek is one of the more popular fishing areas for the locals. This summer Turkey Creek was drained for several reasons, which in turn made the bass fishing even better. We heard from several locals that they were hauling the bass out of Turkey Creek like crazy. After getting approval through the Captain to work Turkey Creek in plain clothes, Sr. Agent John Hendrix and I loaded up our fishing poles and headed to Turkey Creek. We werent in the water 15 minutes and had our eyes on a boat with two fishermen, whom we will call Crank Bait and Hook. Crank Bait was the boat operator and he was tearing em up. We observed him pull in and keep 14 bass before they changed locations. Not wanting to spook them, we stayed back and fished around the boat landing while watching several other boats. Thei occupants werent catching much at all. After a couple hours, we saw Crank Bait and Hook heading back our way. As they passed, I asked if they had caught any good fish and they were proud to show them off. They held up two good fish as I was trolling over to their boat. When we got up to them, I asked to see the rest of their fish. They had the live well full and several in the ice chest. We let them head to the boat landing and as they were loading their boat, we pulled to the bank. Hendrix got out and walked up the hill to chat with the two fishermen. This is where he got their names. One of the fishermen had sunk a hook through his thumb. Needless to say, he was the one who wasnt

catching as many. Crank Bait was talking to Hendrix about what they were biting on and tried to give Hendrix his crank bait. Then Crank Bait spoke up and said they had to get out of there. When we asked why, Crank Bait said, Cause we have too many fish. At this point we told him who we were. He said Yall are good. I thought yall were married. They had 24 bass in their possession. Hook claimed 10 and Crank Bait claimed the rest. Crank Bait was cited and his 14 bass were seized and donated.

REGION 3
UPDATE
SR. AGENT SCOTTY DELANEY

ello from Region 3. So far, this summers headlines have been filled with the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. As I am typing this, the cost of the spill is climbing to over $3.2 billion. With countless barrels of crude free-flowing every day, the impact on the Gulf Coast is devastating. Thousands of lives have been changed for at least the foreseeable future. For the family and friends of those 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon, their lives have been changed forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Im sure some of us know someone who has been directly affected by this event. Ive personally seen several people down south begging for any kind of work, and I cant help feeling bad for them. For many folks, the fishing industry is all they know. To them, there are no other options. I hope someone comes up with a solution soon. All of us in Region 3 have made the long drive to the coast at least twice so far. Many hours of day and night shifts have been worked to ensure that tainted seafood stays where it belongs: in the water. For a lot of us, getting an opportunity to work down there for the first time gives us a little insight into what its like to work on the coast. Those guys definitely have their work cut out for them. Lets hope and pray that this tragedy is over soon. On a lighter note, LWAA hosted a charity softball tournament in Alexandria on April 24. Even though our team didnt fare so well, we still raised around $1000 for charity. A special thanks to Jill Guidry, Christy Ellington, Aimee Watts, the Volentine family, Capt./ Chef Peter Oliver, Robbie Mayo, and everyone else who worked hard to make it happen for a good cause. Region 3 also gave $750 to the Bond Family, whose son, Tucker, was diagnosed with microcephaly, cerebular hypoplasia and hypertonia. The donation will help with the cost of treatments in New Orleans. Agents also attended a couple of Public Safety Expos in the area. In Alexandria, we brought boats, ATVs, and set up a booth in order to educate the public on the importance of boating safety. A few of us even gave blood. We also had an Expo in Leesville with the focus on boating safety. With the dog days of summer upon us, lets remember to be safe and stay cool. And pray for an early fall and winter!

THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE SOMETIMES TURN SLOWLY, BUT THEY DO TURN


By Lt. Bill Tyree

gents in Region 3B began an investigation back in the fall of 2007, which involved complaints of U.S. Army soldiers poaching numerous deer and turkeys out of season on Peason Ridge WMA. The U.S. Army owns this area and it is managed by LDWF as a state Wildlife Management Area. Little did we know the extent of this poaching ring we were about to investigate. I have worked as an enforcement agent for nearly 18 years and have never come across a case of this magnitude with such a blatant disregard for wildlife laws and Gods creatures that inhabit this area. We began our investigation when a hunter in the area came across a hilltop littered with deer carcasses, ice bags, and a skinning gambrel and hoist. He reported his findings to Fort Polk Game Warden officials and LDWF agents. We collected evidence and quickly matched ice bags left at the bone yard to ice bags in an ice cooler at a military staging compound within

the area. We knew that the persons responsible for the carnage found on the hilltop were U.S. Army soldiers because they were the ones who had direct access to the staging compound and ice machine. During military live fire exercises, there are no game wardens permitted into the area and it is completely locked down, except to range control and military personnel. These poachers had a free run on poaching with little chance of apprehension. In November of 2007, the case took a major turn when I established a confidential informant that had very detailed knowledge of the poaching activities that had taken place and the names of two U.S. Army soldiers who were responsible. I also received the names of numerous other soldiers who had direct knowledge of the poaching activities. A few days later, I received information from a second anonymous

source that revealed a name of a third soldier that was involved in the poaching ring. It was suggested that these three soldiers had illegally killed in excess of 50 deer and 10 turkeys out of season from 2006 to 2007. I teamed up with Fort Polk Game Wardens and other Fort Polk law enforcement officials and we began bringing in all the soldiers we believed were involved in the poaching or had direct knowledge of it. We were able to obtain both written and taped confessions from one of the soldiers involved in the poaching. One of the other soldiers was temporarily stationed out of state at the time, and the third poacher was retired out of the army and was working as a civilian in Iraq. The second soldier contacted me by telephone and agreed to meet with agents during holiday leave at Christmas. The retired soldier also contacted me by telephone from Iraq and agreed to meet with agents when he returned home for vacation. Around Christmas time, agents met with the second soldier and he admitted to a multitude of wildlife violations and even told us about some we were not aware of at the time. The enormity of this poaching ring was now coming to light and we knew we were working on a case of a lifetime. Agents finally met with the third poacher and he admitted to some poaching activity, but refrained from being very descriptive in his involvement. One of the soldiers commented several times that the military was not going to do anything to them and they were not worried. During our investigation, we learned that these soldiers were locking the gates on the area and shooting deer and turkeys from military humvees and other military vehicles. They brought their personal weapons to work and killed a majority of their deer with the aid of headlights and hand held lights from August to November. The turkeys that they poached were in the months of June and July and were shot with high powered rifles from their military vehicles. Agents ended up seizing a nine - point buck from a local taxidermist, 4 turkey beards and spurs, three high - powered rifles, one twelve gauge shotgun, and a skinning hoist and gambrel. When we concluded our investigation, we were able to hold the three men accountable for illegally taking 18 deer and 6 turkeys, and charged the three poachers with 268 violations. They were charged with: Hunt/Take Deer Illegal Hours (28 counts); Hunt/Take Deer Closed Season (24 counts); Possession of Illegally Taken Deer Closed Season (24 counts); Hunting from a Moving Vehicle (48 counts); Not Abiding by R/R on WMA (Possess Firearm Closed Season/Illegal Hours) (40 counts); Not Abiding by R/R on WMA (Hunt Deer from Improved Road) (36 counts); Hunt/Take Turkey Closed Season (12 counts); Hunt/Take Turkey w/ Rifle (10 counts); Possession of Turkey Closed Season or taken Illegally (12 counts); Not Abiding by R/R on WMA (Hunt Turkey from Improved Road) (12 counts); Not Abiding by R/R on WMA (Take Deer in Closed Area) (8 counts); Possession of Illegally Taken Deer Open Season (12 counts); and Not Abiding by R/R on WMA (Fail to Check In/Out or Obtain Hunting Permit (2 counts).

The Wheels of Justice... continued

Agents filed the case with the U.S. Attorneys Office for prosecution. The case sat idle for over two years while jurisdictional issues and statutes of limitations were ironed out. Finally, in June of 2010, the case went to Federal Magistrate court at Fort Polk. The retired soldier agreed to testify against the two soldiers for immunity on his charges. A plea bargain was reached with the two remaining soldiers and they plead guilty to their charges. One of these soldiers was ordered to pay $9,284.94 in fines and restitution. The second soldier was ordered to pay $8,267.24 in fines and restitution. Both of these soldiers also lost their hunting privileges for five years and were placed on supervised probation for two years. The civilian poacher was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $524.54 and can never hunt on Federal land again. Sometimes the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn.

CURIOSITY CAUGHT THE CROOK


By Sgt. Joe Dewil Jr.

wildlife agent learns quickly that people by nature are inquisitive. It doesnt matter whether they are trying to find out about the latest changes in hunting and fishing regulations, job openings, or are simply being nosey to see if they can find out who has been busted recently. Curiosity always leads to questions for the game warden. Sometimes it can lead to jail for the person asking questions. A few months ago, the Sabine Parish Sheriffs Office and Many Police Department asked the local wildlife agents for assistance in apprehending a subject who had felony warrants. It seems that this individual had allegedly defrauded some people out of a few thousand dollars and was hiding out at a camp in a remote area. The location could only be accessed by a four-wheel-drive vehicle and the victims couldnt recover their money until the fugitive was caught. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we were beginning to think that our fugitive had found a new hideout. Then one afternoon, Deputy Calvin Aaron and I made another attempt only to find that we had just missed our man by a few minutes. Deputy Aaron then went on an unrelated call close to the

area. I pulled over at a nearby intersection to make a phone call. While I was on the phone, a subject pulled over beside me and rolled his window down to talk to me. I quickly finished my phone conversation and introduced myself to the subject. He politely introduced himself and then inquired about how to get a job with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. I couldnt believe my ears! This individual that asked me about a job just introduced himself as the fugitive that we had been trying to find! I verified his identification and then contacted Deputy Aaron, who quickly came back to help arrest the curious crook. That was one question that I was happy to answer.

SOMETIMES A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY


By Lt. Bill Tyree

gent Russell Brack contacted me one afternoon in January of 2010 and explained that he had heard a rumor about a juvenile hunter who allegedly killed an illegal doe during a bucks only deer dog hunt on Kisatchie National Forest in Natchitoches Parish. Agent Brack told me that he did not have much information to go on, and could not decide whether or not to investigate the matter. We discussed the information he received. I told him that he really didnt have anything to lose and to see what he could come up with. This was a really good move, for that small tidbit of information led up to a nightmare for 7 unsuspecting poachers. Agent Brack made contact with the juvenile hunter and his parents and received an admission to him killing an illegal doe during the bucks only deer hunt. Russell called me and explained that he was able to make a case and seize a deer on his information. We both agreed that citing a juvenile does not fire us up, but we knew many of the others in this deer dog hunting group and we began putting a good case together. Since the juvenile was not licensed to drive, we were able to find out who he was riding with. One thing led to another and by the time we were finished interviewing the seventh hunter, their lies had gotten them all crossed up and they didnt know if they were coming or going. Several of the hunters admitted to their involvements in the poaching of numerous does and thus dragged down others in the process. When we were finished investigating the matter, we were able to hold these seven hunters accountable for illegally killing six does during this bucks only deer hunt. We seized three of these illegal deer. These hunters were falsifying deer tags in the process. We cited these hunters with: Possession of Illegally Taken Deer Open Season (14 counts); Take Illegal Deer during Open Season (6 Counts); Fail to Comply w/ Deer Tagging Requirements (11 counts); Fail to Comply w/ Deer Harvest Record Requirements (6 counts); and
Summer 2010

Take Over Limit of Deer (2 counts). All six adults plead guilty to their charges, and received $500.00 to $600.00 fines and were ordered to pay restitution for all of their illegally taken deer. In addition, they lost their hunting privileges for one year and were placed on supervised probation for one year or until all fines and restitutions are paid in full. Agents issued 39 citations on a small tidbit of information. This just goes to show that you never know whats on the other side of the door unless you open it.

ello everyone and greetings from Region 4. Well, with this slight increase in temperature and just a touch of humidity, there is always an increase in boat activity on our waterways. Many recreational boaters and fisherman are taking to the water to enjoy the long days and endless sunshine. We have been very busy in Region 4 making sure everyone can enjoy this time without careless behavior or someone consuming too much alcohol and deciding to drive. We have also been busy getting the word out on the requirements of everyone born after January 1, 1984 to take a boating safety course. Remember, they are free and very informative courses. Remember to always be sure that you have all your proper boating safety equipment; dont forget about your float plan. Kids, be on the lookout, because we will be handing out the I Got Caught Wearing My Life Jacket t-shirts to those youngsters who are properly wearing their life jackets. Enjoy the summer, be safe and well see you out there. I would like to take Eastern District Office 406 Ambassador Row this time to mention two Longview, TX 75604 903-753-3036 new arrivals in Region 4.

THATS OUR FRYING FISH


By Sr. Agent Channing Duvall

hile working out in the marshes of St. Bernard Parish, I have had the opportunity of meeting a variety of people. It isnt very often as a Pointe Coupee Parish Agent that I get a chance to check saltwater fishermen. However, the unique thing about our job is that we always seem to get a chance to enforce a law that we never have before. As an Agent in Pointe Coupee Parish, I have made several undersized bass cases on False River and in the Atchafalaya Spillway. We have heard several excuses for keeping undersized fish. The most common excuse is I didnt know there was a size limit. Another is, Yeah, I know there is a size limit. I just couldnt control myself. Sgt. Todd Laviolette and I were patrolling in the vicinity of Fishing Smack Bay. We were basically dodging thunderstorms all morning. A few fishermen were still out and catching fish. We noticed a house boat and decided to go on over and check it out. Three subjects were onboard and looked like they were getting ready to go out and try their luck again. Sgt. Laviolette and I decided to check them for fishing licenses and fish. I was presented with an ice chest with several white trout and speckled trout. I began separating the white trout from the specks.

While doing this, I noticed an ice bag inside the ice chest. Upon pulling it out of the ice chest, I asked one of the subjects ,Whats this? His response was, Thats our frying fish. My response was, Well, arent all these fish capable of being fried. The eight fish in the ice bag were all undersized, so Sgt. Laviolette had an undersized trout case and a good story to tell our friends and family. After citations were issued, one of the subjects said, I sure wish we could have fried them fish and none of this would have happened. He was still not admitting he was wrong. I guess some people never learn!

OVER THE LIMIT AND TOO SHORT


By Sgt. Cliff Ortis

ne evening, Senior Agent TJ Ashley and I decided to put the bateau in False River since the bass had been biting pretty well. We were going to try to catch one of the small bass snatchers that frequent the lake. With the small boat, we can zip in out of the piers and fit in like all the other fishermen, motoring up on them too quickly for them to do a last minute catch and release! It had become dark and we noticed a nice bass rig fishing the piers, so we began to ease up to him to do a check. At this time, he cranked the big motor and headed out toward the center of the lake. We began to think that our check on him was over. We kept to our strategy and traveled down the edge of the piers as though we were looking for a place to fish. As we watched

his Nav. Lights head out we saw him slow to an idle out in the middle. We then turned into the bank as if we were going to begin fishing and turned out our lights. As the lights went out, we immediately headed toward him, propelled by the little 4-stroke motor which hardly makes any noise. Before he knew it, we were on him. We began with the routine questions and asked if he had caught any fish. He replied that he had a few. We then looked in his live well, and what- daya- know, he had two limits, 10 fish in a 5 fish limit lake. It gets better! Not only did he have over the limit, but also six of his fish were too short. When it rains, it pours! Of course, he said he was going to release them at the landing and of course, we didnt buy that! His penance was to sign on the line twice.

ell, summer is in full swing and Region 5 Agents have been very active in the 8 parishes we patrol. From the parishes on the coast, to the parishes in the piney woods, summer is never a slow time for us. Region 5s northern Agents have led largescale patrols and special details on the famous scenic river, the Ouiska Chitto. The Ouiska Chitto River is known to many people in Louisiana as a fun river to canoe down. The clear water and white sand beaches makes it hard to resist for vacationers. The Ouiska Chitto River has by far the prettiest beaches, dunes, and sandbars in Louisiana. Perfect places to BBQ, get some summertime sun, swim, or just relax. With the thousands of good people that visit the river every summer, you know there always will be a few bad eggs in the bunch. Agents will write over two hundred criminal citations

along the Ouiska Chitto River from May to the end of summer. We are not patrolling the river to take fun away. Dont get the wrong idea. We are making the river safer, cleaner, and overall a better place for the public. The citations we are issuing mostly are for littering, possession of illegal drugs, underage drinking, and possession of glass containers on a scenic river. In just one day, working a special detail, Region 5 Agents and Allen Parish Sheriff Deputies issued over 70 criminal citations. Bottom line: if you are enjoying the Ouiska Chitto River, you should feel safe knowing a Wildlife Agent is most

likely close by. Region 5s southern Agents have been busy with openings and closures. Areas that are closed during the winter months on Rockefeller Refuge opened up in March and have been packed ever since. Red snapper season opened also. We have been making patrols in federal waters to make sure offshore fisherman stay in compliance with federal fishing regulations. Down on the coast, Agents have also had to deal with recreational and commercial fishing closures due the very serious oil spill. Once again, Agents are not enforcing closures to take fun away, we just

want to ensure public safety and make sure no oil impacted seafood reaches the publics table or seafood market. Every Region 5 Agent has helped in enforcing fishing closures and patrolling the boom operations off our coast as a result of the oil spill. With all of the media talking about the oil spill, openings, and closures, Region 5 Agents have not slowed down one bit on the boating safety patrols and public safety awareness. Region 5

Agents have put a few hundred people through our free boating safety classes so far this summer. Remember, as of July 1st, 2010 all persons born after January 1st, 1984 have to take the boater safety course to operate a boat powered by a motor over a 10 hp. The course is free and will offer not only drivers safety tips, but will also teach passengers safety when boating. Until next time, stay safe and enjoy Louisiana outdoors.

JUST KEEPING EM HONEST


By Sr. Agent Beau Robertson

ne of the things that make being a game warden one of the most rewarding professions one can pursue is the changing of the seasons. Throughout the year, as winter turns to spring, and spring turns to summer, hunting season ends and the boating and fishing season rolls in. An agent has the opportunity to shift their focus from the woods to the water and adapt his or her enforcement efforts accordingly. As season opening dates approach, agents know that their patrols should put them in areas where they can encounter the people that could disregard these season dates and take fish or game prior to the season starting. For all agents that work the coast and the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the opening of red snapper season is definitely one of these times. In the middle of May, with the recreational red snapper season scheduled to open on June 1, Agent Matt Clark and Agent Charles Tyer with NOAA, and Lt. Remy Broussard and I decided to patrol the Gulf of Mexico around Calcasieu Pass to check offshore fishermen coming into Cameron. This is the type of patrol that some would refer to as a keeping em honest type of patrol, but on this particular day I think we may have contacted one of the most

dishonest crews in the entire Gulf. As agents Clark, Tyer and I were onboard a commercial snapper vessel inspecting their catch and licenses, Lt. Broussard called my attention to a recreational vessel heading our direction over the radio. I walked to the stern of the commercial vessel and saw the recreational boat moving almost directly toward us on step. Since everything checked out okay with the commercial boat, we quickly got back into our patrol boat so we could intercept the rec boat heading into the pass. As we piled into the Boston Whaler, I noticed that the vessel coming in had abruptly come off step

Keeping Em Honest continued

and there appeared to be a rugby scrum occurring in the back of their boat. Now, why on earth, after a long ride in from offshore, would you suddenly stop your boat and then reenact the Wales vs. Manchester championship rugby match on the stern? My guess wasnt that the crew members were going for a try in the rugby sense of the word, but rather were going for a try at getting rid of some fish that they didnt want the game wardens to see them with. I looked at Lt. Broussard who was operating the boat and said, Theyre throwing fish. He subsequently cornered the throttle. It took us about 20 seconds to reach the subjects boat, and as all game wardens that have ever had fish thrown on them know, time is of the essence. As we were tracking toward their boat, they managed to get back up on step and made it approximately 200 yards before we stopped them. Agents Clark and Tyer boarded the subjects boat as I looked back in their wake to see if I could locate the fish. As the waves were rolling in something caught my eye on top of one of them before it quickly disappeared back into a trough. I got the lieutenants attention and pointed toward the object I saw in the water. Before shoving off the subjects boat, I remember looking at a couple of the guys standing behind the console and thinking to myself, If thats not a cat that ate the canary look, I dont know what is. We made our way back down their boats path and quickly found what caught my eye. Snapper! It looked like a cork slowly bobbing up and down on the surface of the water. Lt. Broussard pulled up alongside the fish and I plucked it out of the water. It was still ice cold and we noticed the large hole between the eyes and gills, obviously from a spear gun. We picked up a second red snapper shortly after the first and it was just as cold, with its swim bladder bulging out of its gills. Not finding any more fish, we went back to the subjects boat and I got on with the two NOAA agents. The seven subjects onboard were read their Miranda rights and I started asking them about the red snapper that we found in their wake. To all our surprise, the crew had absolutely no idea what we were talking about. In the back of the boat we found an ice chest that had bloody ice, fish scales and a yellow-green flip-flop. I know youre asking yourself, A yellow-green flipSummer 2010

flop? and thats exactly what we were thinking too. Since nobody wanted to claim the sandal, we started taking pictures of everything and collected some of the scales from the ice chest. One of the guys looked extra curious as to what we were doing at that point, so I asked him if he was a CSI fan and talked about how many cases they solve these days using forensic analysis. We asked again who caught the fish and still got nothing. They left us no choice but to write everyone onboard for possessing red snapper closed season and intentional concealment, deposit or destruction of illegal fish. We let about two weeks go by before we decided to call the subjects back in for interviews and statements. The first guy that came in to talk with us told us the who, what, when and where of the entire fishing trip and then completed a voluntary written statement. The other subjects did the same and we were able to tie up a few loose ends on the case. As I was walking one of the guys out of the region, he told me that everyone discussed what happened after we left them that day. This is what he said, I knew we were caught when yall got the fish scales and the blood out of the ice chest.

SNAKES... AND MORE SNAKES


By Sgt. Keith Aucoin

n March 20th, 2010, business was as usual for this time of year. Sr. Agent Moreau and I had just gotten into the woods. We were getting into an area that was baited for turkey way before daylight so we could set up and wait for anyone coming in to make a hunt. We sat there till long after daylight in hopes of someone showing up, but no one did. We figured our day was going to consist of riding around and looking for turkey hunters and whatever else we may come across. Little did we know what we would soon be involved in. Later in the morning, Wildlife and Fisheries Division was notified by the Sheriffs Office that they had served a search warrant at a residence on the day before and had located a large amount of snakes. The Sheriffs Office requested for Wildlife and Fisheries to respond to this residence to examine the snakes and check for any violations pertaining to Wildlife laws/ regulations. The Sheriffs Office advised that they had arrested and booked into jail two subjects on this warrant who were at this residence. At or around 8:00 a.m. myself, Lieutenant Bobby Buatt, Senior Agent Shawn Moreau, Senior Agent Anthony Verret and Senior Agent Wendel Vaughn arrived at the residence and met with Sheriff Deputies

who gave us a rough run down on what was going on. We were told there was a lot of snakes in there and a lot of big ones also. Lt. Buatt contacted Baton Rouge Headquarters and was able to locate a Wildlife and Fisheries Herpatologist. We advised the Sheriff Deputies that a Wildlife and Fisheries Herpatologist was en route to this residence who would be able to verify the species of snakes, their condition, and their size. At this time all agents, including myself, had no idea what we were about to encounter when we entered this property. When the Herpotologist Jeff Boundy arrived on the scene, we were all escorted onto the premises. As we neared the residence and adjacent buildings

on the property, everyone could smell a strong, overpowering odor of animal feces and urine. The area around the buildings was littered with trash,the ground was wet and saturated with excrement from the various animals running loose and caged on the property. There were also jaw bones and partial skulls of what appeared to be dogs and cats littered throughout the property. I will say again, the stench was awful some guys even wore a mask, but it did not help. It was hard to believe when looking around the property that someone actually lived here. The only

running water we saw was a garden hose attached to a faucet; there was no recognizable plumbing. Agents were shown two buildings that contained large amounts of snakes in cages and plastic containers containing snakes. The containers in one building were stacked from floor to ceiling on all four sides of the building and each container contained a snake. In the middle was what could be considered the living or sleeping area, a small couch and a table with a computer. Altogether there were probably 300 or more snakes on the property. Inside an old mobile home that was on the property, agents found large constrictor snakes in cages built onto the walls of one end of the trailer. On the other end was a room with nothing but cages and containers of large live rats. The snakes in this trailer were huge. I have only seen snakes this big on TV and never would have thought I would ever handle snakes of this size. Herpatologist Jeff Boundy, after examining the various snakes, told us that there were several in the cages that appeared to be over 12 feet in length. Under Title 56:115A and referencing Title

76:101K possession of snakes over 12 feet in length require a permit from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. So guess what? We were gonna have to pull these big guys out of their comfortable little cages and try to measure them. So it began. We started to pull the larger snakes from their cages to get a measurement on them. Some of these big guys did not come willingly, nor did they like getting stretched out to be measured. I cannot describe the feeling of the strength these large snakes

have. It took at least 5 to 6 men to handle one large snake and that was still a fight at times. Oh, did I mention the smell? Well, the inside of the trailer was just as bad with the combination of rat and snake. It was also kinda funny to see grown men run from the trailer when they saw how big the snakes actually were! After measuring all of the large snakes, it was found that 22 of the large snakes were over 12 feet in length. Some of these guys were close to 20 feet in length! They were something to see. The different color variations that were bred into these snakes were actually quite beautiful. We were able to verify that the subjects who owned the snakes had no permit to possess snakes over 12 feet in length. We then seized the 22 constrictors that were over 12 feet in length and made contact with a subject who had accommodations for large snakes and he informed us that he and several others could come to the residence and pick up the snakes . He informed us that they would bring the snakes to their establishment for safekeeping until Wildlife and Fisheries contacted them on what to do with the snakes. When he arrived on scene at approximately 5:00 p.m. we packed up the 22 constrictor snakes over 12 feet in length into containers for transport. Now

you have to picture this; we handled these snakes earlier, taking them out of their cages to measure them and then putting them back into the cages. These snakes weighed I would say close to 300 pounds or more and there were 22 of them. So we go back in, get them out again, and pack them up for their trip. An evidence custody form was signed with instructions to hold the snakes until contacted by Wildlife and Fisheries as to what to do with the snakes. Along with the snakes, we also assisted the Sheriffs office in seizing 17 dogs and numerous cats that were caged and in poor condition so they could be transported to a animal shelter.

initiated by Boundy starting as early as January 4th, 2010, to get the snakes owners to apply for the free permit by certified mail, e-mails, and phone calls that were met with negative results. All certified postal mail documents were sent back to Boundy as refused. The owners refused the certified mail that was sent to them, did not answer e-mails, and did not want to speak on the phone, but told Boundy he had the wrong number. The phone number that Boundy used off of their web-site to establish contact was the same number we had received from the snakes owners during the investigation. The owners had already been incarcerated at the time of the seizures and were issued a citation with booked in jail written in place of their signature. At approximately 7:00 p.m., one of them was released from jail in order to return to her home to care for

the animals that were left on the property. When the owner that was released from jail arrived at the property, the citation that was issued was handed to her. The other owners citation was given to the Sheriffs Office to be placed in personal effects at the parish jail. This ended a long day and we were all tired, but for all of us I believe this was a first in our careers as Wildlife Agents that we were able to handle such large snakes. Upon my arrival home, my wife promptly told me to stay outside and take off my clothes. She wanted to burn them due to the stench. I informed her that it would put me short a uniform and would be hard to explain on a uniform request for a new set. I am sure other agents met with a similar response from their loved ones when they arrived

home. Oh, but it was not over yet. We still had a huge pile of sales records seized by the Sheriffs Office associated with the snakes and the owners, who apparently were running a business selling these snakes from their home. The records revealed that they were selling constrictor snakes to 32 states and to Canada. After further investigation, it was found that snake owners had sold at least three snakes to a subject in Winterport, Maine. Agent Vaughn and I, after corresponding with Maine Conservation Officer, Kevin Anderson, discovered records indicating that a subject paid for a Burmese Python and another Python which were shipped in UPS next day delivery packages. The records also indicated that a subject paid for a Reticulated Python, and he was shipped an UPS next day delivery package . Agent Vaughn contacted the UPS corporate Office in Atlanta, Georgia, and the operator that answered the phone stated that if UPS sent a live snake, it would have to be sent next day air. Agent Vaughn notified the permits division with Maine Department of Conservation and was informed that both

the Reticulated and Burmese Python were restricted from being brought into the state of Maine unless the buyer is issued a permit from Maine Department of Conservation under their RS codes. They were given the subjects name and stated that a permit

Agents on March 24, 2010, issued the snakes owners another citation for RS.56:15 violate Interstate commerce regulations by selling exotic non-native constrictor snakes contrary to Maines state law and possessing exotic constrictor snakes contrary to Louisiana state law. Maine conservation officer, Kevin Anderson, notified us that they did locate two illegal snakes purchased from our snake owners, and they seized the two snakes. Anderson advised agents that he issued citations for the illegal transportation of restricted wildlife into the state of Maine.

ello to all from Region 6. Its been a busy summer. As everyone knows, due to the BP Deep Water Horizon oil spill things down South have been pretty hectic. I would first like to start by remembering the 11 lives that were lost due to this horrible event. Second, I would like to thank all of the agents statewide that have come down south to help us in working the fishing closures and patrolling the coast for oil. As agents, you never know what endeavors we may come across. I feel we have shown how we can all as one department step up and do what needs to be done. We are busy patrolling new fishing closures due to the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. We patrol everyday for commercial and

recreational vessels that are actively fishing the closures set by the department. While patrolling these areas, we report new sightings of oil and recover any oiled wildlife as we can. Along with working the oil spill response, we are still busy patrolling the region. It has been a slow summer due to the spill. Many boaters this summer have decided to either boat in other areas or just not boat at all. I would like to remind the public that, effective July 1, 2010, anyone born after January 1, 1984 is required to successful complete a boating safety course recognized by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. To find out where future courses are available to attend, log on to our website at WLF.LOUISIANA.GOV. I would like to take this time to congratulate and say good luck to Elijah Dupre who will be competing in the NRA International Youth Hunter Education Challenge in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Elijah is the son of Sr. Agt. Scott Dupre and wife Andrea. I would also like to welcome Mackenzie Marie Aucoin to the family of Region 6. Mackenzie was born on May 17, 2010, daughter of Sr. Agt. Dean Aucoin and his wife Ashley.

THAT WAS LIKE THE MOVIES, MAN!


By Sr. Agent Nick Guillory

nce upon a time in a faraway place known as Houma, Louisiana, Sr. Agent Dean Aucoin and I were working a normal patrol. We were scheduled to get off duty around 10 p.m. that evening, so we had split up around 8:45. I decided that night to take the long way home, which would have taken me almost an hour. So, here I am, traveling along a lonely road when I noticed a truck sitting on the side of it. I decided to get out and take a look at this truck, because it was an older truck and the tailgate was down. Not to mention that the bed of the truck was facing a small bayou that ran into the woods. I got out of my truck and went to take a closer look at the vehicle and noticed some rubber boots, some fishing lures, and a cast net. Hmm... I decided to stick around and wait for them to come out of the woods. At this time, I called Sr. Agent Aucoin and told him what I had and that I was going to be sitting there waiting for the subjects. He told me that he didnt have anything going on, so he would come and hang out with me for a while. When he got there, we parked our trucks behind the subjects truck and didnt try to hide or anything, just wanted to sit there. We put our windows down and started a conversation. I dont know what we spoke about; probably about how our mom and dems is doin (Cajun talk). I

swear, not more than 5 minutes went by and we heard a shot. We both looked in the direction of the shot and back at each other for a second, because we couldnt believe what we just heard. NOW we decided to leave and go hide our trucks. So we dropped my truck off down the road and I jumped in with Sr. Agent Aucoin. He dropped me off at the bridge near the subjects truck and took off in his truck. He went about a half mile down the road and hid near some structures. I hid myself where the subjects could not see me if they returned to the vehicles. About 30 minutes went by, and then we heard another shot. At this time, Sr. Agent Aucoin called Sergeant Purvis and Agent Breaux to see if they were

near the area. About 15 more minutes went by and we heard a third shot. Now we could tell it was a small caliber rifle, probably a .22. Well, now I started thinking... a truck on the side of the road for everyone to see, three shots from a rifle, a sheriffs departments rifle range on my right and a sheriffs departments work release building on my left... OK, OK, OK. These guys had to be coon hunting. About five minutes after the third shot, I finally saw a light coming from the bayou. I positioned myself to where I could see every move that the subjects could make without them seeing me. Two subjects appeared in a small vessel with a motor attached to it. The first subject, Billy (not real name), grabbed something from the vessel and ran over to his truck and put the something in the weeds near his rear passenger tire. At this time I thought, ITS ON, cause that wasnt a coon. I then watched Billy returned to the vessel, pick up a rifle and run that to his truck. Billy returned to the vessel again to help out his friend, Bob (not real name), with the vessel. I let the subjects drag the vessel from the water to the vehicle and waited for them to load the vessel up before I made my approach. Just as soon as they let go of the vessel, I radioed for the other three agents. FREEZE, GAME WARDEN, PUT YOUR

HANDS ON THE TRUCK !!! I thought a deers eyes in headlights were a sight to see, but WOW, the look on those two faces was priceless. At the same time, the other three agents pulled up. Billy started spilling everything without a single question. Sir, Sir, Im not going to lie to you, we shot an alligator. We went to just go boat riding but couldnt resist. Im sorry, Im sorry. Bob stayed quiet. I read the subjects their rights per Miranda and we began to search the subjects for our safety. Billy was clean during the search; however, Bob was a bad boy. Upon searching Bob, Sr. Agent Aucoin found him to possess a small bag of marijuana, a pipe, and a joint. Ouch!!! Agents Breaux and Purvis then decided to check out the vessel. Noticing that not a single number was attached to it, they asked Billy and Bob who was in charge of the vessel. Bob stepped up to the plate and said that the vessel was his and he had never registered it. He also didnt have any life jackets. Ouch again!!! Needless to say, Billy and Bob were then handcuffed and transported to the Sheriffs department for booking. Upon traveling to the Sheriffs department, Bob looked at Sr. Agent Aucoin and stated, That was like the movies, man. That guy

BE AWARE OF NEW BOATING SAFETY REGULATIONS


By Sgt. Richard Purvis

he only constant in life is that things will always change. The members of the LWAA, all active or retired Game Wardens are, or should be familiar with many of the changes that have recently been made to the states boating safety regulations. Hopefully this article will remind or educate our non-member readers of these new regulations. Lets start with new PFD regulations. Under the old law, persons 13 years of age and younger were required to have a Coast Guard approved, sized PFD, (personal floatation device) on while underway in a vessel. The new regulation requires all persons 16 years of age and younger to wear a PFD while underway. When the vessel reaches its destination, whether it be a camp, or dock, or your favorite fishing hole, that 16 year old can take off his or her life jacket until the vessel is underway again. If that vessel is a tiller controlled vessel under 16 feet in length, all persons on board, no matter their age, must have on a Coast Guard approved PFD while underway. To recap, if you are in a 14 foot jo-boat that is powered by a 25 hp tiller operated outboard, everyone has to have a life jacket on. While on the topic of tiller operated vessels, changes have been made concerning the ignition safety device that is usually built on to the motor. Newly enacted laws mandate that if you are operating a tiller controlled vessel, no matter the length, the operator must have attached to his or her

person the motors ignition safety lanyard. The only exception to this regulation is if the vessel is actively engaged in some sort of commercial fishing activity. Again just to recap, if you are operating a 14 ft jo-boat that is powered by a 25 hp tiller operated outboard, not only does everyone have to have a life jacket on, the operator must have the kill switch attached to his life jacket or wrist. If your vessel is over 16 feet, you are not legally required to wear your life jacket, (still must be on board serviceable and accessible), but the operator must have his kill switch attached to himself in some manner. For all of our water skiers, dont feel left out! We were thinking of you as well. Why we never mandated that persons who are water skiing must wear a Coast Guard approved PFD Ill never know. But we have

New Boating Safety Regulations continued

now. All persons regardless of age or length of tow vessel actively engaged in water skiing must wear a Coast Guard approved, serviceable, and sized PFD while skiing. That means the cool ski vests, (those that are not USCG approved) ski belts or any of the like are no longer acceptable. Lastly, lets look at who may legally operate a motor vessel in Louisiana. We should all remember that several years back, Louisiana instituted a mandatory education program. Anyone born after January 1, 1988, was required to successfully complete an approved Boating Education course before he or she could operate a motor vessel unaccompanied by either an adult born prior to the 1988 date, or someone born after that date who had successfully completed a Boating Safety course themselves. As of July 1st of this year, all persons born after January 1, 1984, must successfully complete an approved Boating Education Course prior to operating a motor vessel. That doesnt mean they cant operate that vessel, period. That means that they cant operate that vessel unsupervised. A person may operate that vessel if the person supervising is born prior to the 1984 date or has completed a boating safety course. Also there have been restrictions to anyone who has lost their drivers privileges due to a DWI conviction. That loss of privileges now extends to vessel operation. In short, if you get tagged for DWI and cant drive for 6 months, that means you cant drive a boat for 6 months either. As always, we encourage everyone to wear their life jacket while boating and to take the free boating safety course offered by the Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division. For course information, contact your local enforcement office or go on-line at www.wlf.louisiana.gov.

TEAMWORK
By Sr. Agent Stephen Rhodes

gent Brack and I were headed to Caillou Boca in Terrebonne Parish in response to a complaint call of boats trawling inside the Emergency Closure area for the BP oil spill. At first we figured they were boats employed by BP to aid in the clean up. We had gotten several calls of that nature and it was the middle of the day. No one could be brazen enough to violate the closure in broad daylight. As we made our way to the Gulf, we noticed at least three boats just off the beach and well inside the closed area. Again I thought, They have to be working for BP. We entered the Gulf and realized very quickly that as big as a 32 Whaler sometimes seems, we were wishing we had a bigger boat. The first 8 wave sent us airborne before I adjusted our trim and reduced our speed. Agent Brack was one of many northern agents who had agreed to come down and help us with the oil spill. This was not going to be a day that he was used to. I asked him if he was okay and gave him the old Hold on and let me know if you are having trouble. He gave a wide eyed smile and replied, This is what Im here for. I couldnt help but laugh as we took the pounding the Gulf was dishing out. We got to the first boat, a 72 footer that was in fact, actively trawling. My pulse-pounding excitement at having made an awesome stop soon turned into concern. How was I, along with one other agent, going to handle a boat like this in 8 to 10 seas. I barely had time to consider things before I spotted another 72 footer making a break for it and headed

due south. We snapped a few pictures of the boat we had stopped and I advised the captain of the vessel to drop his anchor. We took off after our runaway. As we got close to the vessel we saw that it was completely ready to be under way. His nets were on board and his booms were in. I put on the lights, called the captain over the loudspeaker, and advised him to reduce his speed. In the meantime, I told Agent Brack that he would have to board the vessel. I explained that although the boat would have had time to raise their booms and secure their nets, they would not have had time to process the shrimp and by-catch. It would still be on the deck. His nature had not changed since hitting the Gulf and he said, What do I do? I told him I would get him close and when the waves brought him up to the tires hanging off the back of the vessel, he would have to grab hold of one quickly since the wave action would just as quickly separate us. He was a natural! Agent Brack got on board and quickly confirmed my suspicion that there was fresh seafood on the decks. The captain of the vessel gave us some song and dance about getting a crab trap caught in his nets and he had drifted inshore while trying to get it out. (The coordinates I marked the vessel at were checked later by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Survey Section and they reported that the closest area open to fishing was 11 miles away in

inside waters.) I was telling the Captain that I did not believe his story when I saw a third boat even further inside the closure. I asked Agent Brack if he was comfortable staying on board and advised him to stay on deck. He said, No problem, and off I went. By this time I had a handle on how I was going to work all these boats, with a little help from my friends. I knew that Sgt. Davis Madere, Sgt. David McAlpin and Oyster Strike Force Sgt. Brian Marie were all within responding range (having that many Agents all in immediate responding range is often rare for us. I got lucky). I radioed them up and explained quickly that I needed some help. No maybes, no We will try to get there,; all I got was Tell us what you need. That is a great feeling. I told them to dock

up in Caillou Boca and I would come get them. I made contact with the third boat, marked and photographed him with his nets in the water. I advised him to raise his nets and bring his boat over to the others I had on anchor. While doing this, boat number four was easy to spot. I advised the other agents that I was coming and that I had four 72-footers I was trying to corral! I marked the fourth boat, photographed him and gave him his instructions to join the others. I headed to Caillou Boca and the agents I had waiting for me. Have I mentioned what a great feeling it is to have partners? No, a better word is friends. I collected Sgt. Brian Marie, and Sgt. Davis

Madere. Sgt. David McAlpin stayed behind to secure the two vessels we were leaving behind. They got the benefit that Agent Brack did not, but I did wait until we were underway before telling them just how bad the Gulf was. We made the corner and headed into the Gulf to see boat #3 headed west about five miles offshore. Between clenched teeth I grated out, Oh, no, you dont! and Hold on, my third boat is trying to get away! Ten minutes and some loose fillings later, we had boat #3 scooped back up. Sgt. Marie jumped onboard, grabbed all their IDs and we headed back to Agent Brack, advising them to follow us. We got back to Agent Brack, who through all this was about as relaxed as anyone can be on the back of a 72 vessel, with 4 unhappy crew members in 10 foot seas. I noticed that boat #4 had gotten away and Sgt. Madere pulled me back from going to search the Gulf. I was not happy, but he was the voice of reason. We handled all the boats we had, issued out 13 citations altogether for Violation Commission Rules and Regulations, and, as hard as it was to do, made them shovel around 2400 pounds of shrimp back overboard (The risk of contamination from oil makes the shrimp unmarketable.). We got back to Sgt. McAlpin and I was finally able to throttle down. Wow. That was crazy. Getting on one boat in 8 to 10 seas is taking your life in your

hands. We did three. I looked around at the guys I was standing with. To them it was another day on the job. Wow. They never blinked. They never flinched from the job I had asked them to help me with. What makes us special? What makes us different from other people? I was looking at it in the four faces in front of me. The story would seem to be over, but it isnt. I told most of the other agents what had happened and advised them that I would use the photos of vessel number 4 to ID the vessel and mail the captain a few tickets. I had given a brief description of the vessel as being really rusty with a name that was hard to make out. I did have the US Documentation number I was going to trace him on. The next morning my phone rang and it was Sgt. Joseph Arnaud. Hey Stephen, that boat that got away from you, you said it was really rusty. Did you ever get a name? It just so happened that I had transferred the pictures to my computer and was able to make out the name. We said it at the same time. Yeah, I thought so, Joe said, I caught him last night in the same area. Im sure he had to move the phone away from his ear as I whooped out, Awesome job! Joe said, I could add your charges to my citations if you want to give me your information. My response was, You should get the e-mail in about 15 minutes!

UPDATE

Sgt. Todd Lewis

reetings from Region 7! I hope this issue of our magazine nds you and your family faring well. Its been a crazy few months and things dont look like theyll slow down any time soon. In addition to our normal summer time boating safety responsibilities we nd ourselves dealing with a catastrophic oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico and predictions that this years hurricane season will be a very busy one. The last time my coworkers and I felt this overwhelmed was in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Its daunting. However, Im proud to say based on my observations, our agents are handling

this huge increase in responsibilities with professionalism, focused determination, and a positive can do attitude. Occasionally Ive heard a few guys mention that theyre tired but for every time I hear Im tired, Ive heard What needs to be done? or What can I do to help? ten times. Even more amazing is the fact that these agents have maintained this professional can do attitude knowing that they wont get a pay raise this year and arent likely to get one next year. Kudos to my brothers in green Im proud to serve beside you. I sure it will be safe to assume that many pages of this issue will be dedicated to

the British Petroleum / Macando Deep Water Horizon oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, so Ill dedicate my efforts to another topic that is hot and heavy at this time of the year boating safety. Region 7 is one of the busiest, if not THE busiest, recreational pleasure boating area in the state. As such, this region frequently leads the state in accidents, DWIs and other negative statistics. Personally, I have a somewhat unique perspective on recreational pleasure boating in this area. I worked this area for two seasons in 1993 & 1994, left for ten years and then returned about ve years ago in 2005. The differences that developed during the

decade I was absent are nothing short of remarkable. In my particular patrol area recreational pleasure boating exploded. Where a weekend spent checking fty or seventy boats was considered busy in 1994, its easy these days to check one hundred fty boats on a single Saturday. I recall a particular day last year when I stopped at a three-way intersection and was able to count more than eighty vessels underway at one time in a combined stretch of waterways that equaled less than one and one-half miles. Its daunting. Hand in hand with recreational pleasure boating is our quasi-nemesis, alcohol. Most agents enjoy a cold adult beverage at the right time and the right place, but we typically hold a strong level of disapproval for vessel (and vehicle) operators who drink and drive. In fact, in this area, detecting DWI offenses is probably THE thing we work hardest to discover on the local waterways of our patrol area: the Amite River, Blind River, the Amite River Diversion Canal, the Tickfaw River, Blood River and the Natalbany River. Weve done quite well detecting

those offenses in recent years with something over one hundred DWI arrests being made in the Maurepas Lake Basin area each year for the past several years. Those efforts seem to be paying off. Im thrilled, but cautiously optimistic so far this season, to report that things seem to be changing. During a recent Lake Bash three agents inspected more than two hundred fty vessels and were unable to identify a single intoxicated operator. Not one. In past years, during a Lake Bash arresting someone for a DWI offense wasnt a question. The question was whether an agent might make multiple arrests for DWI that day. One arrest was basically a given. With a little luck and good timing, an agent had a decent chance of making two DWI arrests that day. Weve come a long way. Were making a difference. Its a happy day when boaters are abundant and a proactive agent cant nd a DWI offense despite his best efforts. Granted, the weather was less than perfect that day but still, more than six hundred vessels plied

Region 7 Update continued

our waters that day and not a single injury, boating incident or DWI was reported. Gotta tell ya it feels too good to believe were making a difference. Unfortunately, life is not simple. Concerted efforts to reduce drunken driving offenses and incidents do make our waterways safer. However, its also true that a single boat wreck can skew statistics and make it appear as if the waterways in a particular area arent as safe as they realistically are. I believe every agent in the state wishes that vessel operators would do, as a minimum, these three very basic and important things SLOW DOWN, maintain a PROPER LOOKOUT and keep a 100% SOBER operator at all times. Hunting season will be fast approaching by the time this issue goes to print so this may be a good opportunity to remind sportsmen of a few things. The department has adopted something very close to a zero tolerance policy regarding tagging violations. Sportsmen are strongly encouraged to comply with tagging requirements. Also, please keep safety at

the forefront of your mind when you go aeld. Minimum requirements for wearing hunters orange are just that MINIMUM. Personally, I always exceed minimum requirements. I might feel as if I trust others that Im hunting with. I trust them to be where theyre supposed to be and trust them not to shoot at Bullwinkle behind the infamous shaking bush. However, like every other hunting club in the state, we suffer trespassing issues. I absolutely do NOT trust Bubba the trespasser with my life. I wear orange lots of it. Statistics from last hunting season have maintained a parallel course with data from previous years. Once again, it was true last season that accidental shooting gets the most attention, but simple falls from elevated stands continue to be the number one killer of hunters. Please purchase and use a high quality safety harness. When choosing which harness to buy, pretend your life will depend on its performance. It just might. Have a safe and successful season!!!

JOINT ENFORCEMENT SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT OPERATION

E
Sr. Agt. Clarence Marques and Tpr. Jonothan Kemp discuss the Sobriety Checkpoint Operation.

nforcement Agents have always been committed to reducing drunk drivers on Louisianas waterways. Far too often, Agents see the senseless losses caused by impaired drivers. On March 19, 2010, LDWF Enforcement Agents had an opportunity to participate in a Road Sobriety Checkpoint with Louisiana State Police and the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriffs Office. Enforcement Agents prepared and set up a LDWF DWI Van and Portable Lighting while Troop L provided signs, cones, electronic flares and marked assigned units. Orange traffic cones were used to guide motorist through a checkpoint area where everyone was screened. If a driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that driver was asked to exit the vehicle. The driver was escorted to a designated SFST area for testing. If an arrest was made, the Intoxilyzer 5000 was available in the LDWF DWI Van. At the end of the shift, 7 people were cited for D.W.I. and transported

to the Tangipahoa Parish Jail. Regardless of the number arrested, community members observed a commitment from all three agencies to reduce drinking and driving on the road.

METH LAB, HANDGUN & STOLEN BOAT... OH MY!


By Sr. Agent Garrett Kimble

t was a May afternoon and Sgt. Todd Lewis and I were patrolling the Amite River in Livingston Parish. We werent really expecting to come across anything too far out of the ordinary. After all, it was a Wednesday and traffic on the river this time of the year, during the week, is usually fairly slow. As we rounded a curve in the river we observed a young man and a young woman fishing from a boat. We soon learned that this wasnt going to be a routine encounter. As we approached their boat we noticed that the vessel operator had a butterfly bandage over one eye and it appeared that someone had beat him up. We also noticed almost right away that boat numbers appeared to have been painted over by someone who had little attention for detail. When requested, the operator of the vessel produced all of the safety equipment but we soon discovered that neither person had a fishing license. They also couldnt find the boat registration. During the inspection, I commented to Sgt. Lewis that the young man looked like he was speeding like crazy. He was jibbering and jabbering and seemed to be unable to focus on any one topic for more than a few seconds. He seemed to be a somewhat classic compliant tweaker. It took mere seconds after

making contact with him for both of us to suspect he might be under the influence of methamphetamine or some other powerful stimulant. We werent able to run a check on the vessels registration numbers because the numbers werent visible, having been painted over. Our suspicions were elevated a little bit higher when we noticed that one of the registration stickers could still be seen and it appeared to be a 2012 sticker. Hmm Why would someone paint over a valid registration sticker? I asked the two subjects to walk to the front of the boat so we could safely examine the HIN number. Seconds later we learned that the HIN number had been concealed by some unknown gooey, silicon-like substance and a piece of electrical tape. Well, we added all this up in our little noggins and we came up with what I believe the F.B.I. calls a clue. After a little rubbing and scrubbing with some gasoline on a rag, I was able to read the HIN. We checked with Dispatch who soon advised us that the boat was not reported as stolen. What? That doesnt make sense. We remained suspicious and pressed on. Dispatch, when requested, was able to provide us with a phone number for the registered owner of the

vessel. We had little hope of getting an answer but we called anyway. Dont ya know it he not only answered but he told us that he had reported the boat as stolen several days earlier. Evidently someone somewhere just hadnt gotten around to entering it in to a computer yet. Suffice it to say, he was very excited to hear that we had recovered the boat as it had belonged to his father and had sentimental value. The two subjects were placed under arrest, handcuffed, Mirandized, placed in our patrol boat and fitted with life jackets. While I kept an eye on our new acquaintances, Sgt. Lewis began to conduct a search of the stolen boat. The male subject was kind enough to let us know there was a handgun in a bucket in the back of the boat. The gun was located, unloaded and secured. A records check later determined the handgun had not been actually reported stolen. Sgt. Lewis then opened the center storage compartment of the little lake skiff and discovered a backpack. In the backpack were all the toxic ingredients to make methamphetamine such as fertilizer, camp fuel, drain cleaner, jars, coffee filters, lithium batteries, etc. This was what is referred to as a one pot or shake and bake meth lab. Sgt. Lewis also found a first aid kit box containing syringes, spoons, lighters etc. One

of the syringes was about half full of a clear liquid we presumed was methamphetamine. We couldnt help but find a healthy dose of irony in the fact that someone would choose to stash his or her highly toxic drug of choice in a first aid kit. People are indeed strange. Were not drug investigators. We knew just enough to know that this stuff was potentially dangerous and that we were somewhat out of our league. The backpack was quickly zipped up and secured. We contacted the Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office (LPSO) and requested that they send a drug investigator to meet with us at a nearby landing. By the way did I mention that we later learned that both of the subjects had Hepatitis C. Whod have guessed? We arrived at the landing, and LPSO began getting photographs and samples. When it comes to dealing with meth labs, these guys have got it together. They are professionals. We were very

impressed with their expertise. They knew exactly what samples were needed and a thorough cleanup conducted by a professional biohazard / haz-mat member of the sheriffs office was completed soon after we finished collecting the evidence we needed. Photos were taken of the boat and an inventory was done. There were sixteen rods and reels, 3 tackle boxes overflowing with fishing baits, an ice chest, and a bag of tools with someone elses name on them in the boat. Hmm is this yet another clue? Do you think maybe these items were also stolen? Ive seen professional fishermen who didnt carry this much gear. We contacted the owner of the boat and it was later returned to him. After a long night of inventory, booking, citations and interrogations, it was time to get some rest. I got shipped off to the coast for oil leak duty and Sgt. Lewis finished up the meth case. When I returned, Sgt. Lewis headed to the coast and I followed up on the other items and the associated burglaries. During the next few days, I contacted

local police departments and Sheriffs Offices and found that there were several reported burglaries that occurred about two weeks before we met the meth-mates. These reported thefts and burglaries just so happened to have taken place pretty close to where these two said they were living. I contacted the victims of these burglaries and found that most of the items that were in the stolen boat were, believe it or not, items that had been reported stolen from the area. We compared the theft reports to the items that were claimed and all of the fishing equipment and the bag of tools were returned to the rightful owners. Meanwhile, Detectives with two local sheriffs offices interrogated the two subjects, who both eventually confessed to having participated in several burglaries. They also admitted to stealing the boat.

Both subjects were booked into jail for a notable collection of violations including quite a few felony charges. The two subjects are also looking at burglary charges based on the continuing investigations being conducted by the sheriffs offices from Livingston and Tangipahoa Parishes. I rather doubt that either of these two will be back on the streets anytime soon. In addition to the laundry list of drug and theft charges, the male subject also faces possible federal charges for possessing the handgun while possessing a controlled dangerous substance. Did I mention he was already a convicted felon? Guess what he served time for Did you guess theft? If you did, youre right!

Not too bad for a weekday patrol, ey. A big THANK YOU goes out to LPSO Narcotics division for their professional assistance with this case. Todd and I definitely learned a few things from these guys. One lesson wed like to share with our fellow agents and others involved in law enforcement please get in touch with your local drug enforcement team and learn about safely handling clandestine methamphetamine labs.

SECONDS & INCHES


By Sr. Agent Randy Lanoux

recently responded to a boat accident on the Amite River that really amazed me. In the 11 years Ive worked on Amite and Blind Rivers Ive responded to countless accidents with drownings, fatalities, injuries, etc After seeing some of the carnage people are able to inflict on themselves and others, nothing really amazes me anymore. This one did. It was the weekend of the 2010 LWAA convention, March 20th. It seems like it never fails: on the weekend of the convention, something bad happens on the river. Surely nothing would this year the convention was scheduled in March instead of mid-summer as it used to be. The boating season hadnt kicked off yet. Well, think again. I had come from working turkey hunters in the Felicianas and was back down in Ascension patrolling and finishing out my day. It started out as a nice spring day weather-wise but there was a front coming through and the weather was deteriorating quickly. It had gotten pretty cloudy and began to rain off and on. I passed by the major boat landings in the area to see if there was any traffic on the river that might make a boat patrol worthwhile. I checked 4 major landings and did not find one single truck or trailer at any of them. I went on to patrol other parts of the parish to see what else I could find going on. As it got close to the end of my shift, I stopped to fuel up my unit. Just as I finished and was filling out my MV-3, dispatch called me and advised me of a boat accident on the Amite River involving two vessels. I was further advised that a big boat hit a little boat, cutting it in half, and that EMS personnel were also en route as there were injuries reported. After receiving this information, I looked up and saw an ambulance, lights flashing, coded up and heading towards the river (obviously to the same place as me). I coded up and got in behind the ambulance and headed down to the river. After several miles, the ambulance shut down their code lights and turned around. I said to myself, Huh, that must not be the one going with me. As I continued on to the scene, I
Summer 2010

began to mentally prepare myself for what I expected to find based on the information I had received; a gory accident scene with major propeller strike injuries. As we all know, these serious injuries commonly occur in these type incidents. I arrived on scene a short time later. Upon my arrival, I saw the EMS personnel just standing around talking to people. I walked up and asked one of the EMS guys where the victims were. He said over there, pointing at some people standing on the porch and on the pier. I walked over and identified myself, at which time I began to learn what happened. The story goes as follows: Two men were in a 14 foot Aluma Weld Bateau baiting a trot line. The bateau didnt have and never

has had a motor. They had it just to run a single trot line in front of their house and paddled it all the time. They were in the process of baiting up and were just about in the middle of the river when they noticed a 20 foot Well Craft coming straight at them. The Well Craft was not changing course. When they realized that the vessel was not going to turn, at the last second, when the vessel was mere inches away from impact, they jumped out. The Well Craft crashed into their boat slicing through it and cutting it into two pieces. I looked at the bateau, which was, in fact, in two pieces. The skeg and propeller sliced through the rear seat of the bateau like an oversized can opener cutting through a can of sardines. One of the guys told me, Thats where I was sitting right before he hit us. The side of the boat passed just inches from my face. The guy driving the Well Craft told me, I just didnt see them. I thought I hit a log but it sounded different until I looked back and saw what happened. I went on and conducted all of the usual investigation requirements, performed D.W.I. testing on the driver of the Well Craft, taking statements, photos,

etc... Needless to say, there was a citation issued for reckless operation. It wasnt until I was finished and had left the scene that I had a chance to really reflect on what I had just experienced. So many times we go to these incidents and they have a much different outcome. These two guys walked away from this incident with not even a scratch. Everything had to occur in the exact right sequence for these guys to not get hurt or worse. They were even wearing their life jackets. That in its self was amazing.

But I do know that Ive seen some pretty bad stuff happen to people out there on that river. Almost nothing ever really amazed me or surprised me. This incident did.

This had the potential of being a horrible incident, yet amazingly, it had a good outcome. It was good to see this kind of result instead of the usual ones.

ello again from Region 8. As I begin my first term as the LWAA Region 8 representative, I hope to bring the readers of this publication more entertaining and informative material than what is included in this issue. As you all will see, I have written an article about the oil spill and our involvement. With the exception of the spill, there honestly hasnt been any ground shaking news in Region 8 since the last issue. Prior to mid April, enforcement agents in the region were expecting our boating safety and recreational fishing season to increase in activity. I assume this is normal for most other coastal regions as well. With the weather warming from an unusually lengthy winter and the winds beginning to subside, it was evident that the spring/summer fishing season looked to be on par to say the least. Commercial fishing activity was as usual,

with the exception of increased activity and several resulting cases made by both Region 8 and oyster strike force agents regarding oysters. As we were out on patrols, it was evident that shrimping season was just around the corner. All the fishermen were rigging or rerigging their boats in hopes of continuing a traditional way of life for many southern Louisiana residents. Then came the explosion of the BP-Transocean oil rig. Since the time of the spill, the majority of region 8 agents have been primarily working on oil spill response in several different capacities in addition to normal conservation work. Agents from every other region in the state have been coming down and staying for 4 to 5 days at a time to work in the closure/ response effort as well. Hopefully in the next Region 8 update, I can bring good news of a capped oil pipe/riser, or news that we seem to be sustaining only minimal damage to the local ecosystem. Im not sure who the region representatives were during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But I can imagine that it may have been quite an arduous task to maintain association business in the midst of an ecological catastrophe. While the impact of this event isnt felt as immediately as a hurricane, the impending feeling of despair and anxiety of the unknown but probable effects is pervasive. I will do my best to keep everyone updated as to the events of the region as more news becomes available.

CADET LIFE
By Cadet Terrance Hicks

have been a Wildlife and Fisheries graduate for about 4 months now. It has been anything but a normal ride so far. I have moved to a new place and had to learn a lot of new things in a short amount of time. I got into a semi foot chase within the first week I was out. It actually ended up only being a scared 13 year old. It was still pretty fun when I didnt know it was some kid! The first couple of months was pretty much a crash course in learning because I graduated right when the fishing was about to get busy. I pretty much going to learned on the fly. My FTO program was/is/will be a good experience, because I am not sure if its over yet or not. Everyone had great advice and I learned more than I ever thought I could in that first 2 months. I have become more comfortable in a boat than I ever believed I could, and I owe that to the patience displayed by all of my FTOs. I am learning my way more and more without even realizing it at this point. I am fast learning how to become a well rounded game warden. At first the apprehension of being in a new place and trying to learn everything I needed to was tough. Once I realized and accepted that it was impossible to learn everything in just a few months, I started having a lot of fun. Then we fast forward to now. Just as I was starting to get into the swing of things, a large disaster occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, I am

talking about the oil spill. For the last two months, my FTO program has been suspended and I, along with just about every other agent in the region and other regions am destined to patrol the oil for the foreseeable future. We serve a very important role in this spill and I am glad that we can be involved in saving the coast. I have a feeling that this will become a new role of the game warden: not just strictly dealing with wildlife issues, but also learning to adapt to any situation and respond accordingly. I only hope that this spill does not affect our marshes too badly and that soon enough we can get back to doing normal game warden things. I know I still have a lot to learn and Im ready to learn it. And please, no more hurricanes!

HOW TO BE SAFE ON THE WATER


By Sr. Agent Austin Arteaga

s the summer is now upon us, and people are enjoying the activities that the warmer weather has to offer, it is that time of year to remind you about boating safety. We have already seen some tragic boating accidents in the New Orleans area this summer. Most of these accidents could have been prevented if proper boating safety rules had been followed. I would like to take this time to touch on some of the new boating safety laws that were passed since last summer. Below is a list of some of the new revised rules:

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. This law is effective July 1, 2010. PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES Every person 16 years or younger on board a Class A (less than 16 feet) or Class 1 (16 to less than 26 feet) motorboat or vessel shall wear a coast guard approved life jacket or life preserver while such outboard motorboat or vessel is underway. The regulation becomes effective August 15, 2009. This law previously stated that children 12 and under were required to wear PFDs. HANDTILLER OUTBOARD All persons onboard a Class A motorboat which is being propelled by a hand tiller outboard motor shall be required to wear a USCG approved Type I, II, III, or V personal flotation device while the motorboat is underway. A handtiller outboard is described as an outboard motor that has a tiller or steering arm attached to the outboard motor to facilitate steering and does not have any mechanical assist device which is rigidly attached to the boat and used in steering the vessel, including but not limited to mechanical, hydraulic, or electronic control systems. Hand tiller

BOATING SAFETY EDUCATION REQUIRED 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

outboard motor shall not mean any type of electronic trolling motor. No person shall operate a Class A or Class One motorboat with a hand tiller outboard motor in excess of ten horsepower designed to have or having an engine cut-off switch, while the engine is running and the motorboat is underway, unless: a. The engine cut-off switch is fully functional and in operable condition; and b. The engine cut-off switch link is attached to the operator, the operators clothing, or if worn, the operators personal flotation device. PENALTIES FOR DWI Penalties for DWIs now include the suspension or revocation of boating privileges when a person loses driving privileges due to suspension or revocation of their license due to a D.W.I. or D.W.I. refusal whether the offense took place in a vehicle or a watercraft. If you havent been on the water in a while, be aware that a lot of things have changed. Make sure you keep yourself informed. Know the rules of the road. Always have the proper amount of PFDs. Check your fuel level before you leave and make sure you have enough fuel for your trip. Be familiar with your waterways. Check the weather before you leave. Be familiar with the capabilities of the vessel you are operating. Have a float plan: tell someone where you are going. Always remember to boat safe, boat smart. I would recommend anyone who is going to be operating a vessel, regardless of your age, take the boating safety class offered by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. It is a free class and is also offered online for a nominal fee. Visit our website at www.wlf. louisiana.gov for more information, or talk to your local Agent.

CHANGING TIDES PART 1


A VIEW OF THE FIRST 80+ DAYS OF THE BP GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL AND ITS IMPACT ON THE CULTURE OF SOUTH LOUISIANA.
By Sr. Agent Tim Fox

y the time anyone reads this, I fear we will still be in the midst of our fight. The BPTransocean rig explosion and resulting oil spill which began in April has arguably etched itself into the history books forever. Initial reports claim that the 11 casualties suffered during the explosion were the only documentable losses of life. The residents of south Louisiana and the gulf coast know that this is not true. We have been witnessing the decline of the commercial fishing industry for a few years now. While it may not have been on its deathbed, it was fighting a serious infection. We have also been witnessing a decline in the amount of recreational fishing and hunting licenses purchased each year. Im not sure what the reason is for this wholesale loss of interest in working and recreating in the outdoors, but I know that the gulf oil disaster could not have come at a more critical time. We have yet to identify the depth and the duration of the impact. However, it seems to effect every aspect of the lives of those who make their living in businesses related to commercial fishing, recreational fishing, and oil field industry. Furthermore, I firmly believe that the economical effects of this spill will trickle up into the rest of society long after the ecological effects are neutralized. This effect will cause the third quasi casualty, the death of trust... the trust in federal and states governments ability to work cooperatively

enabling each to utilize resources so to provide the best outcome for citizens in a crisis situation. Perhaps its a simple result of the evolution of mankind. As we shifted from nomadic hunters and gatherers to agrarian and industrialized societies, we became less dependent on the natural resources in the fight for survival. When there wasnt a Walgreens on every corner, a Wal-Mart within 10 miles of your house, and a Sams Club in between, people were forced to find meat by a more natural means (i.e. Hunting or fishing). Hunting wasnt a luxury or a gentlemans sport. It was the way to keep yourself and your family nourished. It became a recreational sport and a tradition that has been passed down through the ages. Fishing wasnt a celebrity activity covered on ESPN, nor was it a competition to see who could have the most glittery and shiny boat. It evolved from a means of survival to an activity largely associated with bonding and camaraderie. Some might call it meditative or communal in nature. Individuals who proved to possess extraordinary skill in these activities became professional fisherman. Thus an entire occupational culture was born. Now with skyrocketing fuel prices, inflation of equipment/upkeep, and deflation in demand due to imported seafood, the fishermen warn their kids against this self-proclaimed dead end profession

that was once a proud tradition and heritage. Most preliminary testing shows that our Louisiana seafood is definitely safe; However, fear of the unknown and ramped speculation therein has caused an unbelievable drop in demand for some of the most lucrative and abundant natural resources that our state has. As I said before, neither of these broad categories of activities was dead before the spill, but they were struggling. This oil spill could potentially have catastrophic and profoundly long-lasting effects on the plant and animal life in the affected regions. If an entire generation of fishermaen find consistent pay in oil spill mitigation, who knows if they will ever go back to fishing. If that knowledge and experience is not passed on to the following generation, the culture could possibly die or at the very least go into remission for a considerable time. Then like everything else, there is a political component. Apparently I missed the memo that informed all Americans that every single issue must somehow be politicized. Without missing a beat, certain media outlets have commandeered the story of the response to the disasters. Instead of reporting the facts to us, we tune in daily to a forum for comparison of the current administration and previous administrations policies and reactions related to crisis. Many local residents feel that this political skit is being played out while their traditions and livelihoods are in

jeopardy. As frustrated as those citizens feel with the federal government, they appear to be very satisfied with the passionate and dedicated response by state and local government. Whos to say who does or doesnt have the authority to apply preventive measures? Perhaps the perception of leadership would have been better if swift actions and onsite visits were made with prevention as the main objective within the first 10 days of the crisis. In the opinion of this game warden, right now I dont care who carries the burden of authority. I just want to see common sense utilization of resources. Honestly, as overused as the term has become, it is accurate. This is an unprecedented event. I do believe that all parties involved want the spill stopped. Their reasons for wanting it stopped may not be the same, but I believe

they all want it stopped. I remember when I was a kid thinking that Americans were people who did whatever needed to be done to save or protect what was important. Now it seems like many people sit around and wait for someone to tell them what to do. Or even more infuriating, if they are allowed to do it. Some of this old America can still be seen in the marshes and bayous of south Louisiana these days. You see people working in various capacities to save what we all know is important.

that is stopping projects from being started that could undoubtedly lessen the effects of the oil impact. Hopefully when the next issue comes out the damaged riser pipe will be sealed permanently. Hopefully then we can discuss what we learned and how we can react more efficiently were this ever to happen again. Hopefully the ageold traditions that make gulf coast life special will not be a matter of history and stories. The only positive thing to come from this oil spill to date is that enforcement agents from all other regions of the state have been deployed in regions 8 and 6. As a local agent, I have had the opportunity to work with many of the other agents from around the state and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all better.
