The incident pretty sad and prayers for the family.
As far as DWLF my friends grandfather was the 1st secretary or back in those days person over the department. He was instrumental in help developing the Baton Rouge Sportsman league also. He fought to start fishing and hunting license fees with the idea the money would be used to build boat launches, by land for public hunting, and grow the department to serve the public better. In his day the DWLF also was a very rich department with mineral resource revenue. Under governor long he was basically blackballed out of politics due to he refused let Govenor Long take mineral and license fees from DWLF and put it in general fund. It is sad that even back then the govenors stole money from a depatment that could have grew our outdoor resources to make this state a true sportsman paradise.
