One thing that may be of interest to some of you.

If you will notice the commission has changed the traditional dates for youth weekend.

I got a letter asking for my opinion on this from a freind of mine at the LDW&F. The commission is activley seeking input on this change.

I myself and ADAMANTLY against it in the west zone. I have taken youth hunting almost every year in the west zone on youth weekend and it is typically an amazing hunt for the youth. I think moving it would be a HUGE mistake.

The East zone may very well work better between the splits, I have never hunted the east zone for youth weekend so I can't comment.

Anyway contact the wildlife commission if you have feelings on the subject.

I can't wait for September, hard to believe it's less than two months away until teal season.

In response to the above, I too am for keeping the Youth Weekend prior to the season opener in the East Zone. The main push for this change is coming from a small group of Northeast La hunters who claim that they never have water or ducks to take a youth hunting. On the contrary, I know of plenty of folks who hunt fields who have water and ducks and enjoy the youth weekend where it is currently. I personally hunt coastal marsh and we most always have birds.

Also up for change is taking a week out of the East Zone 1st split and putting it in the second split. Again, this is being pushed by a group of Northeast La hunters. Feel free to share your thoughts on these proposed changes by emailing Mr. Larry Reynolds at lreynolds@wlf.la.gov
