Well they could have been stopping someone for DWF violation (i.e. road hunting). Also LDWF agents are, in believe, full peace officers allowed to issue violations for any laws.
I thought in some rural parishes they assistwith routine police tasks.

Pulling over a possible poacher?
ETA: it's fairly common for them to make traffic stops regarding LDWF violations or even DUIs

Someone may have reported a poacher(shining).

I believe they can do that. Stop might have been due to the road conditions.

He has all of the jurisdictional power of a Trooper and will make stops if it is relevant to his duties.. maybe he saw them coming from a wooded area after hearing gunshots (poaching) or he saw them with a deer strapped on the roof of their car. Either way prayers to his family.

They have the exact same authority as a state trooper.

They make traffic stops all the time.

Illegal hunting / gunshots heard.

prolly a nighthunter. These guys face real danger, as the people they stop are frequently armed, even though they make fewer stops than LSP. Hopefully his truck had a camera on it.

My thought also but the poaching or drunk driving theories make sense.
My other off topic is wth is he a senior agent at his age and experience level. LDWF giving out participation trophies to millenials now?
