The problem is LDWF says the #'s of hunting and fishing licenses are going down each year. Kids are more into video games and computers than going outside.
1 - I agree they could prob get away with a small increase on out of state licenses making them more reciprical of what our neighbors charge.
2 - The STATE of LA needs to move our coastal waters boundry from 3 miles to 10 miles like many of the other states and keep more oil revenues in state. This would self fund many of the coastal erosion plans out there now.
3 - LDWF needs more public education. Esp in the elementary school level. Get kids involved again! And adults.....lots of people don't know what they are doing when it comes to hunting or fishing.
4 - LA is truely Sportsman's Paradise, LDWF needs to do everything in their power to keep it that way. More studies to better understand species of fish or bird, etc. Study the effects of coastal erosion, loss of habitat for shrimp, crabs, etc, that will have a trickle down effect on trout & reds. More in depth studies on offshore species such as triple tail, and red snapper, a.j.'s, and grouper.
