Problems at lacassine refuge??

There are ways around it. If you are familiar with anuhac near Baytown texas they have the same system and it works fine. The ldwf would police the area, money would go towards managing the property : gas, equipment, etc. it's just the want to and that area doesn't have it. And it doesn't have to be that exact system but something needs to be done. It's going to be a free for all and someone is going to get hurt and property will be destroyed bc someone took joe blows spot. Mark my words. I'm not trien to step on anyone's toes, I just want to keep the place available for hunters. But if everyone is fine with the way it is and doesn't mind there hard earned money going to waste on replacing broken equipment, gas, food, shells, ext for 0 birds then game on. It's gonna be a fun next few years

but there is no money going towards the refuge i thought?

I know what you are saying, i am just messing but can you expound on Anahuac NWR and how that is ran? Not familiar with the hunting there, but do know they have a population of whooping cranes that winter there which may have something to do with the limited access there

No they would not. They don't police federal land. The feds do and they have basically no money to afford agents. They have two for Sabine and one or two for Lacassine and that is it! Again, slippery slope you would not like to find yourself on especially when you find out that you didn't get a spot. Regarding it being a free for all? It's been that way forever! That is the point of public land.

I'm pretty sure the LDWF has no authority on an NWR. I could be mistaken though. It's happened before.

They have the authority, but they are not there. Basically, they are not invited to the big boys play pen!
