55,000 fenced in acres in Winn, Lasalle, and Caldwell parishes. Spoke with several neighboring landowners who didn't have anything good to say about them. Ruined the hunting for everybody surrounding them, problems accessing their own property, blocking streams and causing flooding and erosion, etc. State bureaucrats and legislators have passed the buck. KNOE reached out to A&E and the Busbice's for their side of the story and they refused to give a statement.

Saw it. Currently reading more about it online. Not much people can do as its private property. I'd sure be disappointed if someone fenced off a large chuck of the local deer population. But again, its private so they have the right to do what they want with it.
Some pretty serious conspiracy theories abound as to how the property was acquired.

Names that have surfaced in what has become a conspiracy-laden story include imprisoned former Winn Parish Tax Assessor A.D. “Bodie” Little, former Gov. Mike Foster and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Landowners, including the Goughs, maintain that Foster hosted Cheney on a hunting trip in 2002 and shortly afterwards a federal grant came through Foster’s administration which was used to purchase the land which eventually came under the control of Busbice and Six-C.
Efforts by LouisianaVoice to confirm that allegation have been unsuccessful, though an entry of more than $87.86 million was included on page 29 in Foster’s fiscal year 2003-2004 executive budget under the column heading of Federal Funds.
Marty Milner, fiscal officer for the Office of Facility Planning and Control, said in a 2008 email to investigator Art Walker that he had found the $87.86 million but some projects were funded through the Department of the Military and the Department of Transportation and Development but his office did not handle the accounting for those departments. Accordingly, he said, he was unable to determine the disposition of the money.

We lost our lease in that "deal". Well, kind of. LP folded and the land was for sale. Another was gonna buy it, but these shite birds came in and bought the world up.

It's pretty much a taking of deer. It should be against the law.

The few interactions I have had with the Busbice's gave me the impression that they are fake pieces of shite. I won't go into details but my best friend went to HS with them and I have met them a few times.

So they got tired of all the potluckers hunting their well managed deer and fenced it and people are pissed...
What do you expect the state to do?

Pretty shitty thing for them to do, but within their right IMO. I envy them TBH.
Id like to hear more about how they were able to acquire 55,000 acres and then afford to fence it all in. That isn't some cheap-o fence, it's high quality shite.
With it being during Mike Fosters tenure, I can see him allocating some state funds to fund this, especially with; a) it's Louisiana, b) Busbice was head of WLF at the time, c) Foster was a huge hunter.

I love when the poor folks get mad because money buys power.

they have our land completely fenced around all four sides. Our hunting ended when the fence went up.
They did not endear themselves to their neighbors even before their fence was up. their security folks would hassle people who were going in and out to their own land.
I understand money buys power and politicians, but I still don't have to like it.

My BIL worked for them for years at WGI and I met them a few times. They seemed like nice enough people. He hunted up there with them several times and he's in a few of the hunting shows from a few years back.
I also know that Big Bill loves running dogs. Idk if they run in their 55,000 acre pen or somewhere else, but a pretty reliable source told me he spends the second 1/2 of the season running blue-ticks.
