Once they find these mothers I think a little Cajun Justice is in order.

Terrible news. I'm heading out there tomorrow morning for bow opener. Hope they catch those sorry bastards!

Whoever is responsible Im sure will slip up and say something to somebody eventually! If they have no evidence its going to take the work of sportsman like us to keep our ears open!

all over a deer or some other petty thing...such a shame...prayers to his family...

:pissed::pissed::pissed:This is Horrible!
Prayers to the family & friends
Hope they catch the rotten SOB or SOBs involved and are brought to a swift death sentence. No excuse for this.

What a tragedy prayers sent to his family at this time of sorrow. I hope the sobs who did tis get what they deserve.

If it wasn't for men like this, we would have no game or fish.
This is truly horrible and my prayers go out to the family.

Speechless! RIP

Need to catch that A - hole

Prayers for the fallen agent and family.

On wwl news at noon they had a LDWF spokesman say that he was responding to a complaint of nite hunting. And his body was found by his vehicle with a single shotgun wound to the chest.

He went out at 1:30 according to the last radio contact.

My guess is he either confronted the illegal hunters and the situation went down hill from there. Sad that a husband, father & son lost his life Bc some idiots can't follow the rules and wanted to take matters into their own hands.
The LdWF spokesman said it's common practice for an agent to go out into the woods or water alone for these calls.

Anyone know how many agents are n LA.
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.

Geeze, thats horrible news...

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

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

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

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

outlaws most likely will not be reflected in license sales

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!!!!!

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?)

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.

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

could very well have. good observation.

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

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. :rolleyes:

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

wjbo just reported that LSP is saying that they are so far finding ,No one else involved in the shooting. DAMN!

here is the link.

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.

Sorry for the family. Tragedy, why I respects wardens, they have a very dangerous job almost alll suspects not on a boat are armed.

This is a shooting of a federal agent absolutely no slack on these.

I know right where this took place.......since the ferry is gone pretty much no traffic there. They should never be allowed to go on a nite call
alone! We need more agents? Why don't we? Cause the pay sucks. God bless his family & his LDWF partners.

Went on a teal hunt last year with an agent and he said the same thing...very understaffed. Said he barely got any days off cause there's no one to work.

God bless this man's family, WLF hasn't hired in a long time, they replace when needed. plus they have had budget cuts and since the oil spill liscense revenue has went down. I applied a few years ago,

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

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

On the news last night they said that they think no foul play that he accidently shot himself in the chest.

I mean, how can you accidentally shoot yourself in chest with a shotgun...foot is believable but chest....I wanna see investigation notes on this one

Jeez......that's just as horrible!!

what they think is when he was pulling it out of the vehicle he was pulling it out by the barrell.

Damn, very unfortunate.

yes it is. This is another reason why i don't believe in hunting by yourself not knocking anybody for doing it. It's just that things like this happen so fast not saying if someone was with him they could have saved his life, but you never know. I knew an man that i hunted with quite often with him and my dads neighbor that went by himself one morning duck hunting at their lease in hayes and when he got back to the truck had a massive heart attack and died right there.

Terrible...if it was accidental, you think grabbing a gun by the barrell is a way to handle any gun, you have no control of the weapon....sad, sad, sad...prayers said..

You an die a hundred different ways daily and alone. Is this reason enough to stop living your life the way you do?
