The OP was referring to this release we published back in July.
http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/news/35645
On Aug 2, The LDWLF issued a release locking in the dates with this explanation:
"A proposal to move the youth waterfowl weekend to the end of the final hunting segment in the East Zone was not adopted due to public comments received in favor of the traditional pre-season dates normally provided for youth. Additionally, public comment asking for an East Zone opening segment with 16 days and second segment with 44 days was accommodated."
