Everything about what you were doing to make this post and read these replies relies on fossil fuels. Get rid of everything you own then you can post from a high horse...well you wouldn't be able to because you gave up everything made with fossil fuels.

Oh and you wouldn't have power either because all the renewables use fossil fuels to be created and work.

Funny thing is, in the private sector this is expected and understood when there is bloat to reduce. Also in the private sector when this happens, good employees get let go as well as bad ones.

It's easy to bloat the budget on employees when you don't have to turn a profit, you are spending other people's money, and when it runs out you can raise taxes or print more.

The USPS is the shining example of how the government can be so inept that businesses can make millions while they show losses and they set the minimum pricing.

Todd is using this for clicks, if he covered it for as long as he said he has along with doing his research, he would know his argument is full of shite in the state of Louisiana. He isn't citing any law or anything just doing what most do "it was 8 ft deep so it's navigable". Yes you can float a boat in it, but that doesn't make it public in the eyes of the law.

He is spreading misinformation and is unprofessional in doing this without the proper information for those he's trying to inform.

Sportsman paradise days are gone and it isn't because of private land ownership. Also in our state the law states it is the responsibility of the individual to know whether they are trespassing, not on the landowner to spend money maintaining signs, fence, etc.

Ok so we're going with the "in my opinion" and not coming here with information on the law.

Reference Material

The link is to some cases and verdicts to help folks understand more with it. Before the erosion you couldn't fish/hunt there, so why is it such a big deal after the erosion? This argument boils into people saying "just cause" so often without actually being informed or doing research. A lot of these places give memberships, pay a membership. A 50 dollar fishing license does not give someone trespassing rights in our state.

The fact of the matter is the government messed this land up with a huge man made ecological disaster that is the river levee and they have never made recompense. They do however keep collecting tax money on the land these folks own.

but it’s clear that navigable waterways are public

What are defining as navigable waterways in Louisiana? Is the definition based on Louisiana law, referencing law from other states, or based on "If I can drive a boat on it, it's navigable"?

Just because it has standing water, regardless of depth, doesn't mean it's navigable in accordance with the law.

No way this should be as complicated as the state has allowed it to become. Fish have to have water to survive. If the water is tidal, navigation can be completed by a floating boat, and YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE STATED LOUISIANA CREEL LIMIT, the water is public.

Your logic can be applied to all game and I bet you do not have the same sentiment with folks coming on private property to take deer, rabbit, squirrel, and whatnot. They have to have land to feed and we have to abide by the same limits on private and public land as well.

Maybe it is a little more complicated, but I fully expect to be berated for not being on the "it's all public" team with this.

It’s 2024 and now that actual land is 100 acres and 900 acres of open water

This is the big thing. At this point the state should have gotten with local governments to get land maps and create a database. I mean if OnX and Huntstand can do it for hunting property it can be done for fishing.

Folks who have no ownership don't know history of these things as well. We have hundreds of acres that were impacted by the government structure for Catahoula Lake yet the state has never paid out those folks impacted nor have they made efforts to create an efficient ways for sportsman to gather this information.

Thing is, it's not on the property owner to post signs or anything it's on the hunter/fishermen to know and follow the law so all you landowners can do is constantly deal with this battle because the state is content dealing with it on a case by case basis and the landowners know the result because they know the law and their rights, and they are willing to make examples of folks because they are tired of dealing with these confrontations. More times than not these confrontations are not with law abiding folks, when everything shakes out the landowners find out the stories they were fed by the offenders were bullshite and they have a long record of trespassing and poaching. This leads the landowners to being fed up with it and having zero patience or understanding at this point.

Also, Masson should be more responsible and inform folks properly. If he wants to explain it properly have law enforcement, judges, lawyers, and whatnot involved in his presentation to provide proper knowledge. I bet he wouldn't do this in a large property known for being a sanctuary or a private marsh owned by a folks that are known to prosecute.

Just responded to say it is not all in the Fed's hands.

Did you ignore to whom and to what I was responding?

Anyhow in response to the data you provided about first freeze, I don't believe it's so much the first freeze that is so impactful as the timing and duration of sustained freezes north of us. Freezing low temps for a night or 2 aren't as impactful as North of the Louisiana/Arkansas border staying below freezing for a week like what happened last week and happened last year that helped boost the season in our area.

This is not correct, they give the overall dates that they can fall in and the states can use their days in the range given. Louisiana chooses when to spend their 60 days.

LINK

quote:
The earliest (September 1) and latest (March 10) dates allowed for hunting are set by the Migratory Bird Conventions referenced at the beginning of this story. Framework dates, which are the annual dates selected by the Service for hunting, vary for different groups of migratory game birds. Annual framework dates for most regular waterfowl seasons are from the end of September to the end of January for ducks, and mid-February for geese.

quote:
Most states select their hunting season to maximize their duck harvest within these frameworks. States always have the right to be more restrictive than the established federal frameworks.

Season lengths, bag limits, and to a lesser extent framework dates are selected and changed based on changes in bird abundance and habitat conditions.

This is not true, it has been proven that birds are incredibly adaptable and will change their habits in a single generation unlike most animals.
