re: Public waterfowl hearing Jefferson Parish (Updated with notes in OP)

NW Louisiana harvest data is much more similar to the coastal area than to NE Louisiana. NE LA is the Mississippi Alluvial Valley; NW LA is Piney woods with the highly altered Red River Valley. There is a reason why in 1975, the first year that any state was allowed to create zones, Louisiana created a West Zone and an East Zone rather than a North Zone and South Zone.

North and South Zones are not optimal for ducks, but would work fairly well for geese because NW LA just doesn't have many.
