Long read, but the cliff notes are:
•equal opportunity for all hunters
•It is illegal to pay or charge for access to land for hunting purposes
•locals don't want outside influences (sports) ruining their rich hunting tradition (like they have here) by driving up the prices of leases.
Before you get mad and call me some kind of democrat, I don't hold any ill will towards someone who leases land for waterfowl, no matter how much they pay. I'm happy they can enjoy waterfowl hunting with their friends and family and can afford it. Louisiana has many public land hunting opportunities that I enjoy. I just don't agree with paying more money for a GOOD lease than what I pay for my home because of some rich tool from New York wants to try duck hunting.
