Sadly there is also no money for sabine either. Enjoy it while you can or take up golf. That is our only options.

This^^, the SW LA refuge complexes are there primarily for wintering waterfowl everything else (the hunting, fishing, etc.) is just a bonus. Here is Lacassine's goals
http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=43610
Each NWR has a specific management plan. For instance Tensas NWRs primary focus is for black bears, songbirds, and secondary would be wintering waterfowl. When they work their budgets every year, they have to make sure their management activities will benefit these above species. There are huge deer killed in Tensas NWR every year, but deer management is not one of their goals, however their management for songbirds and bears really helps out the deer but its hard to tell a deer hunter that
When wintering waterfowl is the objective, hunting is allowed but it is specified that so much of the percentage of the acreage must be set aside as a true refuge (no hunting). This is why on D'arbonne, Tensas, etc have areas closed to waterfowl hunting, it jus tis what it is and you would not be able to hunt period if the refuge was not there.
Check out all the public land we have and then look at other states
