Everytime I hear that, it always means trouble. I'm pretty convinced that "good people" means "good old boys".

He had a camp on Lake Verret for 20-30 years. Hunted all over south Louisiana. He was the voice of the seafood industry while in congress. Lived in south Louisiana his entire life. I think he has enough experience to get the job done.

LDWF was already a joke compared to many other states Wildlife departments


are you kidding me? We have an outstanding WLF dept. The things Barham has done re: snapper and black bears is amazing given the federal framework he is up against.

Barham may have made some mistakes early on but he had it going our way lately and should have been an easy choice to stay on




I think Robert did a fine job, but he was going to retire regardless of the election outcome..

This is from JBE in the Louisiana Sportman before the election.

quote:

Q: What are your thoughts on choosing a secretary for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries? Should the secretary be a biologist? Should he/she be from Louisiana? What qualifications will you look for?


quote:

A: Louisiana will be best served by a secretary that has a combination of skills and experience. We need a secretary of (LDWF) who is an avid outdoors person — a hunter and a fisher(man).

They should work to advance conservation and sound management of fisheries and wildlife. But we also need someone who can navigate the political minefield that exists in Louisiana, while following the science that should drive his or her decision-making.

Most importantly I will select a secretary who works collaboratively with the (Louisiana) Wildlife and Fisheries Commission to promulgate sound rules and preserve our status as the Sportsman’s Paradise
