re: La Wildlife & Fisheries News

Hoping to go to Three Zones; 1.) currently my east zone stompin grounds (marsh) are managed like the rest of east louisiana so there's a lot of conflict between interests in the marsh and the Catahoula, Avoyelles parish, etc. areas. 2.) If we have a downturn in duck populations, 3 zones (or more) gives hunters the max hunting days if you can bounce around in the different zones.

Last year the brilliant minds in a few areas of the east zone wanted to cut a week in first split and put it in second split. They still didn't have ducks in this extra period of December yet the marsh EZ hunters could do nothing but watch piles of ducks under a closed season.
