agreed...there is no ticket worth killing a man doing his job and protect the resource for future generations to enjoy

Seems like we need more, I know it's not enough Bc I have a friend who works the ponchatrain basin and he has said b4 they are very understaffed.

my uncle that works for the dept says the first place to get funds cut by the state is the LDWF when they are having budget problems

Really hope they catch this POS...Please don't take this the wrong way guys (by no means judging the guy), but when they said shotgun wound to the chest, i could not help but think why an 18 yr veteran agent was not wearing his bullet proof vest when responding to a possible poaching call....Things must have really gone downhill quick...After seeing some of the rednecks first hand in the woods, I can't imagine the trash these agents deal with on a daily basis....Seems like bullet proof vests would be standard uniform....Not wearing it would be like me walking up the rig floor without a hardhat or safety glasses....My heart goes out to his family.

Need more agents. You see police increase with population, why not increase agents with increase in hunters and fisherman

outlaws most likely will not be reflected in license sales

You are missing what I am saying.
I am saying an increase in city population yields an increase in police.
Wildlife agents should reflect that.

apparently so. I took it as an increase in hunters and fisherman (which would be reflected in license sales.... amirite?)

Not only people with liscenses hunt and fish...prob why this ldwf agent got shot...unliscensed hunters at night..this is why we have enforcement agents.

No the politicians would rather the money for new agents for the own

They were probably hunting deer!! It's sad that someone would kill a man for a deer!

[joshdomingue]

In my opinion LDWF is the most dangerous job there is ....... 90% of the time they are alone and the people they are after are always armed...... such a tragedy!!!!!

[FF_T_Warren]

freaking ridiculous. I hope they catch them ASAP.

But one of the bad things I see in this situation is, Why was his last radio transmission at 2 in the morning and fisherman had to find him this morning. Umm didnt a dispatcher at some point think it may be a good idea to send someone to look for him. Thats a kind of screwed up system there. Not that it probably would have made a difference in life or death in this case, but that just seems like a poor practice.

If it would have made a difference don't you think he would have at least said something on the radio. He died very quickly.

Not to mention when I mentioned this at work they said that they were thinking it was a self inflicted gunshot. Strictly hearsay idk anything for sure on that

not necessarily. body could have immediately went into shock causing him to pass out and bleed to death over the next few hours bc he was unconscious.

not saying that it happened that way... but it is possible

they (LDWF) probably use other types of communication (2 way radio's and cell phones) due to what David said.... outlaws with scanners.

[fishinpox]

man this is sad ....kill someone over a friggin fish or deer or whatever , i hope they catch the sorry SOB responsible

[bjhooper82]

What a piece of shi*!! They should let the family shoot his arse right back!!!

No i didnt get any video. I was laughing too hard also!!!!

From the start most blamed some outlaw for doing this. Just remember most of us have in some way or other broken a law in our lifetime of hunting or fishing so most every one on here, could be called an outlaw. Why blame some one before the truth comes out?
Sorry for the family, but it isn't always some one else involved.
