T
he Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries and the Louisiana Wildlife Agents
Association are mourning the loss of one of
our own as I write this update. Sgt. Paul Stuckey
died in the line of duty as a result of a tragic
accidental shooting while responding to a night
hunting complaint. Paul was an 18 year veteran of
the Enforcement Division, a devoted husband, father,
and friend. He and I served on the LWAA board
together as Region Representatives many years ago.
As young agents, I quickly saw that Paul was sincere
in everything that he did and that his heart was good.
We kept in contact through the years at training events
and conventions, and it was always good to hear from
Paul. He was an asset to our Department and will
be greatly missed. Let us be reminded that nothing
is ever routine in our duties. We will learn from this
tragedy and continue in our role as defenders of our
natural resources.
Hunting season is in full swing and agents
throughout the state are working everything from

night hunters to migratory game birds. The drought
conditions will no doubt have an effect on duck
hunting as water is limited. It will take a lot of rain to
fill up every pothole and bayou that normally holds
birds.
The LWAA is already working closely with the
Enforcement Division administrative staff on next
years legislative session. There will no doubt be
bills filed, attacking our retirement. It seems as if this
becoming the norm, and we will continue fighting to
keep what we have.
Have a safe hunting season.

e are currently finalizing the last few details of the Fallen
Agents Memorial. The memorial will consist of a 3 high
black granite base containing the names of our fallen agents.
It will also contain the LWAA logo and our Enforcement Emblem. On
top will be a 6 high bronze statue depicting an agent in his Honor Guard
dress uniform at parade rest. The project is expected to take about 6
months to complete. I feel this monument will be a fitting tribute to the
agents who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. It will also be something
that we will all be proud of.

FROM COP TO POSSUM COP
I
m here to tell you a story of my transition from being a police officer to becoming a game warden. When
somebody mentions a game warden, one might think, Oh thats just a possum cop! But being a game
warden is so much more. To become a Louisiana Game Warden, one must have 1 of 3 important credentials:
1) Prior law enforcement experience, 2) Prior military service, or 3) 60 college credits. I chose to get two of
those. I graduated from college and then became a police officer. I started my career in law enforcement as a
police officer for a small police department with the goal of becoming a game warden, because I love to hunt
and fish and had an interest in law enforcement.
Becoming a police officer before applying to be a game warden was the best things that I could have done
to prepare myself for becoming a game warden. It taught me things that college never taught me and would
have never been able to teach me. As a police officer, I learned all of the basics to law enforcement. I learned
how to talk to people, how to read people, how to write reports and, most importantly, how to enforce the law.
As a police officer, I had to learn a lot of laws and
gained a passion for enforcing them. I had to deal
with domestic disputes, thefts, traffic violations,
etc. Then, the opportunity presented itself, and I
became a game warden.WOW is all I can say!
There is so much more to the job than the average
person realizes. Most people think that being a
game warden only includes checking hunting and
fishing licenses, nothing more. Those people could
never be more incorrect.
Game Wardens are police officers, we just
so happen to specialize in enforcing hunting,
fishing, and boating laws. However, game wardens
are responsible for enforcing all of the other state
laws that police officers enforce. Most of the time

a game wardens day is pretty simple, but a game
warden must be expected to deal with any scenario at
any given time. A game wardens day could consist
of so many different things. For example, I can be
driving in my patrol truck on my way to pick up a
boat and come across somebody speeding or driving
under the influence on the highway. My duty is
to handle the situation the way any police officer
would and continue on my way. Once I pick up the
boat and drive to the boat launch, my patrol area is a
completely different environment. I have the chance
of coming across a variety of things. Somebody might
not be wearing a lifejacket, somebody else might be
stealing crab traps, another person may be catching
shrimp without the required licenses, or I could come
across somebody doing all of the above. Once I finish
handling that, I could get called to go meet another
game warden in a huge offshore boat with 3 motors
to go jump on a charter boat that has illegal fish
and drugs onboard. All of the above are just a few
examples of scenarios that could happen in one shift.
From Cop to Possum Cop
The hardest part in the transition from being
a cop to a game warden was that as a cop, I would
go somewhere because I was called for somebody
breaking the law and at least one person would be
thankful that I was there. As a game warden, I stop
people on their recreational time or while they are
trying to make a living, and some people see it as an
inconvenience because they arent doing anything
wrong. That being said, I have to deal with people
being upset and fussing at me before I even open
my mouth. Over all, most people in the public that
I come across are nice and respectful, which makes
transitioning from being a cop to a game warden
extremely pleasant. Now I get the best of both worlds;
I get to enforce all state laws while patrolling the
areas that I love to hunt and fish. Needless to say, I
am extremely pleased with my decision to transition
from cop to possum cop!

ALLIGATOR HUNTER GETS TAGGED!
W
ith the popularity of the show Swamp
People, alligator hunting has also become
much more popular. The price of alligator
hides and alligator meat has risen drastically. Seems
I hear more and more people are talking about going
alligator hunting and when they do, I usually hear
these words follow, Choot Em!
I guess I wasnt surprised at all when I got a
call to assist on a case that started in West Baton
Rouge Parish. It seemed somebody had been stealing
alligators from some other peoples property. Working
in the Special Investigations Unit, I dont get out to
the Atchafalaya Basin much to deal with all of the
hunters, so I needed to get caught up on my alligator
regulations pretty quick. However, since the major
part of the
violations
involved
felony
charges of
forgery,
filing false
public
documents
and injuring
public
records,
these
violations werent in the normal backyard of the
most established and polished Game Wardens. These
violations primarily took place in the heart of Baton
Rouge, namely at our Department Headquarters.
Once I met up with the other Agents, I quickly
realized this was not going to be a simple case. They
gave me about a book worth of paperwork and started
explaining what happened. It seemed the subject,
well call him Jack, had been forging, not just one, but
two peoples names on alligator hunter applications
for over a decade and then selling those tags to the
highest bidder. Problem was that he had no right to
the land to hunt the alligators and no right to allow
anyone to hunt the property to which he claimed he
had the right, not to mention that alligator tags cant
be sold.
The other agents had done quite a bit on
homework. They got the complaint from a man
everyone knew as the Lion. The Lion ran into another
hunter on the property he had legal rights to hunt.
But, when they looked at each others paperwork, it
seemed they both had a right to be there. The Lion
knew better though and called in the complaint. The
other agents got a written statement from the land
manager, this one well call Jim. He said he had not
given any permission to Jack to hunt the property.

They also learned Jack had been getting tags from
another property illegally. He had been signing a
womans name who had been dead for twelve years.
So first, we met up with a biologist in New
Iberia. I learned that the amounts of tags that are
issued are set by Department policy. The Department
policy sets the quota of tags according to an
assessment completed by Department personnel.
The Department policy is set so that the issuance
of tags for an area would not cause any undo harm
to the alligator population. The applications are
accompanied by paperwork that describes the area to
be assessed. Alligator hunters get permission from a
land owner, have them sign the application and then
apply to the Department and get the amount of tags
set by the Department. It seems fairly simple, right?
Now to find out what really happened.
We met with the current land manager of one of
the properties. I will call him, Hank. Hank met us at
his attorneys office. Seems he never gave permission
to Jack to hunt the property. It also seems his
grandmother, Jenny, who once had the legal right to
give permission, passed away in 1999. The land was
divided among many people, but Jack never asked
Hank if he could hunt on the property. So, when Hank
gave another hunter the right to hunt the property, it
was only a matter of time till the two hunters ran into
each other. It happened this year.
One thing I noticed about the applications
was that Jack had a different name for both of the
properties on his applications than was listed on the
other applications. It made it easy to get all of this
past our biologists.
So, how did Jack do this for so long? Well,
I found out all the details during the interview I
completed with him. He started out saying he owned
a piece of each of the properties. When I asked if he
had any control of the properties though, he said no.
He said Uncle Jim gave him permission twenty years
ago and Aunt Jenny gave him permission before she

died, so he just kept signing their names. He went on
to say he didnt think he was doing anything wrong.
That is when I realized Jack was actually kin to
Uncle Jim and Aunt Jenny. I hope no one gives him
permission to borrow their car, he might think it is
permanent! One of the hunters we interviewed was
from the show, Swamp People. He said he hunted
for Jack and said when he first started hunting on
those properties he would get plenty of real nice size
alligators, but now only one or two per year. He said
there were too many tags for that property. I thought
to myself, ya think. Maybe if Jack wasnt double
dipping with tags, there would be plenty of nice size
alligators. It goes to show that getting extra tags really
will hurt the alligator population.
We got a warrant for his arrest on 24 felony
counts consisting of forgery, filing false public
records and injuring public records and we booked
him into East Baton Rouge Parish prison. We are still
going to charge him with theft of alligators for taking
the alligators from property he had no right to get the
alligator tags. Currently, Jack is out on bond and is
waiting the opportunity to enter his plea. I wonder if
the judge will think he did anything wrong?

H
unting season was just kicking off and work
was picking up fast. I received a call from a
landowner about a big 8pt that a trespasser
had killed on his land. After getting all the hear say,
facts, and information, I struck out to do a little
scouting, but not for deer. I walked his property over
and over, back and forth and had no luck finding the
guys stand. After scouting I received a call from a
guy who had permission to hunt the land and he gave
me even more concrete evidence for my search. The
hunter gave me the trespassers name and his wifes
name and advised me just where I could see the buck
that was killed, Facebook.
Facebook has become a prominent tool for
people to post their hunting stories, sometimes with
no harm, but then there are those that just cant help
themselves. As Agents, we love those who like to
show off their trophies that are not the legal kind.
Sometimes they just need signs to hang around their
necks, and it would be PERFECT.
So I checked out the facebook page and to my
surprise, the page allowed me to view all the pictures.
It was a nice 8pt, with the date of October 4, 2011,
posted nicely of it, and it even gave me different
angles to view. I noticed something immediately
about the deer, it had no tag on it.
I waited seven days, and no tags had been
validated by the guy, so I struck out in search of one
more place the stand could be. I walked a long piece
through the woods and found the stand, corn feeder,
and a game camera about 80 yards behind his father-
in-laws house. I called Agent Heath Wood to meet me
back at my truck and we would sneak back in when I

thought the guy may be hunting.
We waited until about 6:00 p.m. and we heard the roar of big mud
tires coming towards the stand and stop about where we thought they
should. We struck out and slipped up 20 yards from him and identified
ourselves.
My first question was, Have you had any luck?
To no surprise his reply was, Not yet, I just got this new crossbow
and I been dying to shoot a deer with it. He told me all my pictures have
been showing the deer are moving at night. I shot the breeze with him
then asked him if he had his hunting license on him by chance and he
said they were in his truck. So we made our way to his truck, still just chit
chatting.
When he handed me his licenses, I noticed he still had all 6 tags. My
next question was, What tag did you use to tag your 8 point you killed?
Of course I got this look that is very hard to explain, but use your
imagination, and I got the reply, What 8 point? (while still making the face).
I easily replied, The one your wife posted on Facebook, and the
face kinda soured. I got the reply, I hate Facebook.
I advised him of his violations and began writing him citations for the violations. He went on to tell me that
he always tags his deer, but this one was just right behind the house and it was his first deer with a crossbow
and he was just so excited. He then made a statement that was truly a first for me, I did not try to lie to you,
I just never tell people what I see or kill cause people will start hunting all around me. I just laughed and told
him I was not asking him about his deer because I
was intrigued to hunt close to him, I asked because it
is my job to ask.
I told him he may want to start making sure he is
by the book, especially when you post it on Facebook
for the world to see. Moral of the story, use some
thoughts when posting on Facebook, especially if
youre an outlaw

UPDATE
H
ello, from Northwest Louisiana. As I write this update our hunting
season is in full swing. Duck season is just a couple weeks away and it
is looking like we may have to ll a trough with water just to give the
ducks somewhere to land. This year has been an extremely dry year for us up here,
and we are just now starting to see a little rain. I hope that we have a good wet
winter to replenish area lakes and rivers. Most of our water bodies are at record
lows and shermen are not even venturing out onto the water for fear of running
into submerged stumps. For those willing to take it slow and brave the hazardous
waters, the shing has been good.
Deer season seems to be off to a good start for hunters here in Region 1, and
the start of those cold winter days can be felt in the air. This is the time of the year
that we have waited for all summer. We are out in the woods making sure that ev-
eryone is staying safe and obeying the game laws. This is also the time of year that
puts us out working the craziest of hours and in the harshest conditions to catch
those who choose to break the law. It is obvious that we cannot be everywhere
but not knowing where, when, or why we show up is what helps keep the honest
people honest. and it is also what keeps the outlaws looking over their shoulder.
On September 30th, 2011 we lost Sgt. Paul Stuckey. Paul will always be re-
membered and will be missed. Please keep his family
in your prayers. Remember to stay safe out there and
to help pass on the sport of hunting.

Season on Jackson Bienville Wildlife Management Area.
This morning
is different than
most mornings
for other 11
year old girls.
This morning
its not hard to
figure out what
clothing matches
or exactly what
to wear. Camouflage is what shell wear. Only matching of
clothes will be that Daddy matches her.
Its a cool morning before daylight. Both she and Dad
are tired from getting up early, long days at school, and from
Dads long work week. Dressed as if they came from the same
Hostess package, they get into the truck and adjust the heater to
suit their comfort for their 30 minute drive to their destination.
Waiting for them in the dark is a tall slender man, dressed
in camouflage. They were greeted by the man, with an almost
face covering grin and a long extruded arm with a firm friendly
handshake. This man is Clint Brooks, son of the late L.D.W.F.
Wildlife Technician, Jimmy Brooks. Clint is an avid hunter and
knows every crook and cranny that is tucked away in a place
where they were about to adventure to.
Now to give you some background on the girl and her
father, Madison Cheatwood and Matt Cheatwood of Saline,
La.. Ive known this little girl since just a few days from the
day she was born. Her father, he and I grew up together and
weve known each other since we could walk. Being close
neighbors and friends we have constant contact. Matt is an avid
and accomplished hunter in the sand hills of North Louisiana,
having killed a state record turkey. Madison has followed her
daddy step for step since she could walk. Well maybe 2 steps
for every 1 of his steps, but if Matt went she was shortly in tow.
Matt had taught her to be a young outdoors woman.
Along with my story, the three make a short drive to their
hunting destination. Like thieves in the night, they slip through

the woods to a spot where Clint and Matt had scouted
out the playground of a big tom turkey. Still dark
and hiding in the bushes cant be what every 11 year
old girl dreams about, but stuck between these two
camouflage clad cowboys, she must have known
good things were to happen.
As if peeking through the treetops, daylight
makes its way into the day. Silence is interrupted with
the oh so familiar thundering sound of Ole Man Tom.
Hes sitting on a high branch watching the forest
floor for just the slightest movement. From his watch
tower, he proclaims his presence once again.
The sound of a turkey gobble can startle the
biggest of men. The thundering sound rattles the
leaves on the bushes, awaking the woods like an
alarm clock. As if he was angry at the world, Ole
Man Tom hollers to say here I am.
Madison cant help but tremble. Maybe its the
cool air that wisps through the almost silent woods
or maybe its the hair raising thunder Ole Man Tom
makes that is chilling her. Her heart almost seems to
stop as she hears the fluttering of his wings as he flies
down from his tower. Everything goes silent.
Hidden as part of the shrubbery, the threesome
wait for the right time to get deeper into their
conspiracy. Clint uses one of his assorted turkey calls
to call to Ole Man Tom. Trickery is in their plans.
Calling him to come here, get a little closer, we want
you to come visit with us. Fooling Ole Man Tom may
not be a very easy task.
Ole Man Tom has grown old in these woods for
a reason. He has walked through the woods watching
and listening for anything that maybe his foe. He
knows every tree, bush, or rock where he lives. He
has grown wise to the antics of hunters and predators
and avoids them while still providing for natures
benefit. Some say old turkeys maybe the smartest
things in the woods.
Clint calls again to Ole Man Tom. Not too
much or he may realize that something is not just

right. Carefully and patiently waiting, the three sit as
petrified ornaments hanging onto every breath. No
sound can be heard. Lonesomeness fills the woods.
From the corner of her eye, Madison notices a
dark figure appear from her left. Clints conservative
use of his tools pays off, he has come to call. Like a
British Palace Guard, Ole Man Tom in his full attire,
marches through the woods as he were guarding from
an invasion. Madison watches as he struts almost
teasing. Now more nervous than ever, Madison
gets the cue to get her gun ready to fire when the
opportunity comes. Finally a yaupon bush steps out
between the two adversaries, giving Madison the
chance to aim her gun into a clearing in Ole Man
Toms path. Ole Man Tom turns and makes his way
toward the clearing. He lowers his shield and stops.
Did he figure the game out? Did he see us? Is
something going wrong? All this runs through their
minds as the turkey freezes and the only thing of
motion is the fluttering of their hearts.
Too late, with confidence, Madison aims and
makes her stand. The gun goes off, releasing fire and
metal, propelling its furry toward Ole Man Tom. In
a swift second, the conflict is over. Madison has won
and Ole Man Tom has fallen with honor.
Matt jumps to his feet so quickly he almost lost
his boots. He quickly grabs his young daughter and
hugs her with approval. Now knowing Madison has
gained an addiction to a sport that he also shares,
Matt releases all the pressures of stress built up
inside, allowing him to share in the enjoyment of
Madisons first turkey. Matt and Clint have also
earned themselves an accommodation medal in my
eyes, fathers taking their time and effort to open new
worlds for their children by introducing them into the
outdoors.
Madison, congratulations for killing your first
turkey. I know its just the first of many. Keep on
following Matt into the woods. Tell your Daddy
that the town of Saline will have to make room for
another good turkey hunter. Once again to our next
generation, we pass on a tradition.

TRIPPIN AINT EASY
O
n the morning of Sept. 15, 2011, Senior Agent
Frank Reger and myself found ourselves
working on Black Bayou Lake in Caddo
Parish on an over limit teal complaint we had received
the day before. There were a couple trucks at the boat
launch that gave us a little hope that our violators had
returned for round two on this Thursday morning.
As we made our way from the north end of
the lake, we would occasionally shut off the motor
and listen for shots. We made it to the big lake and
checked the first hunters we came across which only
had 6 birds between the two of them. We asked if
they had heard anymore shooting, and they said the
blind just up from them had been shooting nonstop all
morning. I thanked them for the information, and we
proceeded to the blind.
As we approached the blind, we observed
approximately 75 to 100 teal making several passes
around the blind. I looked at Sr. Agent Reger and told
him that they must have their limit or they had already
shot over their limit. We pulled up to the blind and
found that it was two older men,
not your typical outlaw profiles.
Our first clue was when the first
words out of the older gentleman,
(well call him Willard) were,
Weve killed our limit, and we
were just about to leave.
Anytime you hear that,
you need to dig just a little
because they are probably hiding
something!
Our second clue was when
the younger of the two, well call
him Leroy, volunteered the
information that the reason he
had went back to the bank was to
get his license Hold on Leroy,
we didnt even ask why you went
back to the bank! Can you say a
guilty conscious?
I love the paranoia that folks get when theyve
committed a violation in the woods or on the water
that when every boat they hear coming is a Game
Warden or there is one always watching and hiding
behind every tree. I guess he thought we had been
watching?
As I crawled up into the blind to check for license
compliance and shotgun plugs, I noticed fresh feathers
in the front of their boat. I asked them where all the
birds were, and they stated they were all still on the
water. We offered our assistance and told them that we
would pick up their birds for them.
As Sr. Agent Reger drove our mud boat through
the decoys, I began picking up the birds, 5... 6 7....
8 9...! Bingo! Now it was time to ask about the
feathers in the boat.
We informed the duo that they were 1 over the
daily bag limit and we needed to know why there
were feathers in the boat. Leroy hung his head and I

knew we had more! He informed us
that he had already tripped a limit to
the truck.
Now that our total was up to 17,
we followed our violators back to
their truck where the other birds
were stashed inside the passenger
compartment of their truck. Both
men were charged with Take Over
Limit of Ducks and Violate MGB
Tagging Requirements. The teal, one
of which was banded, were seized
and donated to a local family.
After all was said and done, I never

would have been poachers! It just

2011 NRA NATIONAL POLICE SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIPS
T
he 2011 NRA National Police
Shooting Championship (NPSC)
was held in Albuquerque, NM.
There was a total of 390 competitors. This
is a substantial rise over last year. One
interesting thing to see was the rise in the
number of departments sending enough
officers to fill a team. In the past few years,
team numbers have been down and the
teams were all fired on one relay with room
to spare but this year it took two relays to fit
everyone on the firing line. Conservation teams in attendance
this year were Mississippi, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Colorado,
Louisiana, and a Father/Daughter team from New York. This
year, they had the most vendors they have ever had and we got
Sr. Agt. Frank Reger, Sgt. James Parish, Agt. Aaron
Hastings, and Sgt. Dane Thomas at the 2011 National
Championships.

a chance to look at all the new gear about to
hit the market. We also got the chance to talk
with experienced shooters and instructors
about the latest and greatest training that is
going on across the country. This is a huge
competition but it is also a fun way to train
and become proficient with firearms.
This year at the NRA NPSC, the LWAA
Pistol Team represented the state well. This
year we added a new member to the team,
Agt. Aaron Hastings. Also on the team was
Sgt. Troy Parker, Sgt. James Parish, Sgt.
Dane Thomas, and myself, Sr. Agt. Frank
Reger. The team had a lot to be proud of in
Albuquerque. We won all the four man team
matches in the Conservation Division. Troy,
Dane, Aaron, and I won the Stock Semi-auto
Four Man Team. Dane, James, Aaron, and I
won the Open Class Revolver and the Open Class Semi-

Individually, we also did well. Aaron
Hastings was the High Scoring New Shooter in
the NRA Service Pistol Aggregate and the NRA

all the matches. James Parish placed 5th overall
out of 292 competitors in the shotgun match

Id love to see a good

hunters. Duck hunting
is an outstanding way

it is if youre on that

truly nice guy. We certainly continue to wish him the
best, and hope for his continued recovery. His wife

thegoodght. Its humbling to see how he and his
family are dealing with this terrible ordeal and the
amount of love and support theyve received. Its well
deserved; and couldnt happen to a better man.
As we all know, things really arent looking up
for us, particularly nancially. Weve already been
cut a lot, and it looks like the futures shaping up for
more ghts. We denitely need to stick together as an
Association and lend our voices and support where
needed to protect our future. Public sentiment, and
thus the legislature, is not on our side right now, and
cuts are being suggested by those who dont have to
share the sacrice. Stay on top of the issues, and help
where you can.
All that said, we still have a job to do, and like
always, were going to do it. Look after one another,
and be safe out there!

NOT THE REAL POLICE?
D
ue to the nature of our job in law enforcement,
we run into many different types of people
from many different walks of life while
working in the field. And for those of you who are
agents, I know you have heard this a few times in
your career. Youre not the real police? Well, this is
a little incident that happened to me this summer with
a fellow who thought we were not the real police.
Sr. Agent John Hendrix and I were on routine
boat patrol conducting boating safety checks. Hendrix
and I noticed two personal watercrafts (PWC)
running down the lake. So we decided to observe,
waiting for the inevitable, and sure enough minutes
later it happened. One of the PWC operators was
docked at the end of the pier (lets call him Thug) and
the operator of the second PWC (lets call him Jed)
attempted to spray the first subject with his wake.
Hendrix and I immediately headed toward the two
subjects. As we approached, Jed was docking his
PWC, so we attempted to make contact with Thug,
who was still sitting on his PWC docked at the end of
the pier. When Thug saw us approaching, he started
his PWC and went around to the back of the pier to
dock.
After several attempts to stop Thug, he docked
Sr. Agent Leya Grover
Continued
his PWC and attempted to walk up the pier to the
camp. At this point, we knew he had seen us (uniform,
badge, blue lights, gun and all) and heard us (GAME
WARDEN, STOP, GAME WARDEN, STOP), so I
think the next words were something like, If I have
to come up there and get you, youre going to jail.
Well, I guess he heard the word JAIL loud and
clear because he immediately turned around and
headed back toward us. As he approached us, I asked
Thug to identify himself to which he said, I dont
have to tell you who I am. (Hendrix tried to remain
calm.)
He really thought he did not have to tell us who
he was. I again asked for his name and date of birth.
At this point, he gave me a bogus name and date of
birth. I ran it through dispatch and she could not find
anything to match the name or the date of birth. After
this went back and forth three times with different
names, I was done being nice. I advised Thug of his
right to remain silent and informed him he was under
arrest for misrepresentation during the issuance of a
misdemeanor. I told the subject to put on a lifejacket

and get in the boat.
Thug then walked across the pier, put on a
lifejacket, took it off and attempted to walk up the
pier to the camp. You could not imagine the thoughts
going through my head at this point. As I approached
the subject, I said, This can be easy or you can make
it harder on yourself; put on the lifejacket and get in
the boat.
Guess he decided he needed to cooperate. We
transported him across the lake and he never spoke
another word. At the bank, I got him out of the boat
and placed him in handcuffs and escorted him to our
patrol unit. He never spoke a word. About half way
to the Sheriffs Office, I guess Thug was starting to
realize this was not a joke and he really was under
arrest, and we were the real police, because he said,
I would have told yall the truth if I knew yall had
this much authority. And after a few more minutes,
he stated, I didnt think yall could arrest me.
After Thug made those statements, I explained to
him that if he would have just told me who he was he
could still be sitting on the pier enjoying the lake with
nothing more than a Class I violation for not having
his boating education class.

BUCKET LIST ACTIVITY
I
n September 2011, I was patrolling Mississippi
River Lakes by flat boat. It was late in the
summer and once again we were scouting for
over-the-limit bass violations. As I motored south
on the main channel of the mighty river, I could
see what appeared to be someone paddling a kayak
near the eastern bank. Being a paddler myself, I
was anxious to make contact and hear about all the
travelers adventures.
I exchanged greetings with Dan Imhoff from
New Straitsville, Ohio. A yankee. Dan was a pleasant
man recently retired from an occupation that I failed
to record. According to Dan, he embarked on the
current odyssey from Athens, Ohio on August 19. He
floated 28 miles down the Hocking River to the Ohio
River. Seven hundred miles later, he intersected the
Mississippi River where he anticipates a heavy 953
miles. His loose itinerary leaves him in New Orleans

in mid-October.
Dan built his own boat out of wood using an
instruction kit. The kit he constructed was the Pygmy
Coho Hi. That company is out of Port Townsend,
Washington. His paddle of choice is a Bending
Branches. It is a lightweight composite with carbon
shaft and wooden blades.
Dans equipment included GPS, maps, dry bags,
canned fruit, oatmeal, and matches. He sleeps in a
glorified hammock known as a Hennessey Hammock.
It is similar to a hanging sleeping bag. His rod and
spin cast reel were strapped to the deck in case he got
the urge. Previous urges had landed two blue catfish
and one bass. I had no reason to ask for fishing

privileges, but assume I would have issued
him a souvenir if he had been engaged in
such activity. (A warning maybe?)
Dan charges his phone with a handy
kinetic/solar charger so that he can make
calls to his wife, Sandra, who has his full
support. Dan stated that she met him in St.
Louis and treated him to an overnight stay
in a hotel. He mentioned the shower and a
few other amenities that arent available on
the river, including the wife.
I asked Dan what his perception of the
Mississippi was compared to the Ohio. He
stated that the Mississippi River was lonely
by comparison. With houses lined along the
banks of the Ohio, he found himself waving
at residents as he drifted by. He added that
there was hardly any place to land his boat without being in someones backyard. It did pay off if you could
time it just right though. He made it for supper on more than one occasion. (Or dinner, as he said.)
Other notable encounters included attending the Ripleys Tobacco Festival and meeting a gypsy boat. I
looked up the tech savvy gypsies at their blogspot, wewillnotdrown@blogspot.com. Conveniently there was a
place to donate to their cause. They even take Visa and MasterCard.
I told him that I would record his journey in our magazine. I collected his information and bid him safe
passage.

HARMLESS WEATHER INSTRUMENT
O
n November 6, Josh Estis and I were digging
through a gross dumpsite off Upland Road
near Bastrop. While investigating the litter,
we heard rifle shots from a nearby wooded area. I
set out on foot in an attempt to locate the person
behind the trigger. While treading ground that I
could arguably say no man had ever trod, I spotted
something unusual hanging from a moss covered
cypress tree.
As I closed distance with the object, I could
tell that it was a white box attached to a long rope.
I decided it was a weather instrument before I was
close enough to verify. I dont know how I made
that determination, because I had never seen such
a device. The box displayed the following: This
is a radiosonde, a balloon-borne instrument used
by the National Weather Service to obtain weather
data aloft. According to additional labels, the unit
had been released from the NWS in Shreveport on
October 18, at 6:00 a.m.
I called the National Weather Service in
Shreveport and spoke with C.S. Ross. I assume he is
a meteorologist because who else would know the
following information. The unit, outfitted with a GPS
locator, is attached to a neoprene balloon and released
twice daily from the NWS. Release times are twelve
hours apart. The balloon is filled with hydrogen gas
to a size of four feet in diameter. It rises to an altitude
of 120 thousand feet where it reaches speeds of up to
180 miles per hour. As the balloon rises, it continues
to expand, as consistent with Boyles Law. In most
cases the balloon reaches the size of a house. The
rubber is exposed to temperatures of 80 below zero.
These temperatures cause the balloon to freeze and
eventually shatter. The unit parachutes to the earth
within two hours of its release. In winter, the units
travel further because of the jet stream. Some units
have been found as far east as Jackson, Mississippi.
In summer, the distance is less. In fact, some units
have returned to earth within the city of Shreveport.
The instruments are produced by a well-known
defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. According to
By Sgt. Wayne Parker
Ross, only fifteen percent of the units are returned to
the NWS. He contributes this mainly to units falling
into remote areas. He also suggested that some people
might keep the units as conversation pieces. However,
as indicated on the unit, the instruments are reusable.
Each box contains a self addressed, postage paid,
return envelope.
I gave this unit to my wifes science class to
research and return. The class included a request for
a certificate that they can display in the classroom.
Now you know.

ello from Region 3. We would like to extend our prayers and sympathies
to family and friends of fallen fellow agent, Sgt. Paul Stuckey. Sadly, we
hear of fallen ofcers almost daily. However, when it is one of our own
who has fallen, news such as this hits that much closer to home. One thing that
has stuck with me for the past month is the public outcry and outreach for Sgt.
Stuckey and his family. I dont think a day goes by that an outdoors man or woman
approaches me offering prayers and sympathy. I have even seen collections being
taken on outdoor websites for his family. So many people talk about how great of a
man and agent Sgt. Stuckey was. He will not be forgotten.
Finally, cool weather is upon us! After a long, hot summer, it is a welcome
change to those of us working in the great outdoors. Not only does it feel better to
be outside, the cool air means hunting season is upon us. With hunters hitting the
woods, agents are reminded to use extra caution while in the eld. While the vast
majority of those enjoying the outdoors are great people, you never know when
you might run into that one person that shouldnt be holding a weapon.
Also, lets emphasize to all those we come in contact with the importance of
attending a hunter safety course. There are many youths and adults in the woods
today that have never set foot in one of these courses, and it shows. There have
been several new changes in our laws that affect hunters this season, such as the
changes in deer tagging conrmations. Lets try to keep the public up to speed on
all these changes, and most importantly, lets have a safe hunting season. Thank
you for reading this update.

By Sgt. Trey Mason
O
n a cool September night, I was on patrol in
one of my local hotspots for night hunting.
On this particular night I would experience
something that just bothered me to no end. As I was
sitting in my unit, at approximately 11:30 p.m., I
observed a vehicle traveling in my direction. Sure
enough, once the vehicle made it to my location, the
windows rolled down and the spotlight began to shine.
I observed this group spotlighting for approximately
one and a half hours when I noticed the truck stopped
and I heard a very faint small caliber gun shot come
from the vehicles direction.
Once the vehicle began to travel again, I began
my approach to them blacked out. After almost
colliding with numerous obstructions in the turn
rows, I decided to turn my headlights on. When my
headlights came on, the vehicle was in front of me
approximately one-half mile and they stopped and
opened up the driver door for a split second. That told
me right there that they either just dropped somebody
out or they threw the gun.
I made contact with the vehicle and it was some
of the same locals who all of us have had to deal with
on several occasions. When I stopped the vehicle, an
unusual number of heads was present from within
the vehicle. As I instructed each one out, one at a
time, they just kept coming and coming and coming
until all 7 of them were secured. Soon I ran out of
handcuffs and they were instructed to lie in the dirt.
After patting all of them down, the vehicle search
began. When I approached the truck, nothing seemed
out of the ordinary yet; it was the same old usual
spotlights, empty beer cans, ice chests, tools and dogs
in the bed of the truck.

As I made it to the front cab of this truck, I
observed something that I would have never
expected a 17 month old baby boy asleep in his car
seat. At this time, Mama was called to my location
to sit with the baby while I performed the search.
As expected, no firearms were discovered within
the search of the vehicle. After a brief moment of
interviewing several of the subjects, it was apparent
that once I turned my headlights on, they saw me
and knew it was a game warden, so they immediately
threw the gun.
The gun was recovered, a .22 Magnum pistol,
and after investigating it further, the shot that I
heard was one of the subjects fatally shooting one of
their dogs. After numerous citations were issued, I
determined all of the subjects were either related or
family friends. Night hunting seems to be a family
tradition in this particular area in which the whole
family likes to be involved.

HIGH SCHOOL FISHING TOURNAMENT
By Sr. Agent Joey Merrill
T
he Second Annual High School Fishing
Tournament hosted by the Louisiana Pig
Stickers Bass Club this year was very
successful. I had the opportunity to represent the
Department this year during this event. It was held
on Saturday October, 29 in Vidalia. A total of 21 high
school students participated in the bass tournament.
Seven Schools around our area participated in this
event. Each student had to write an essay saying why
they want to fish in the bass tournament. Over 70
essays were turned in from all 7 schools and only 3
students per school were chosen. Each Student that
was chosen to fish got paired up with a member from
several bass clubs around the area that wanted to
participate in the event.
Over 100 bass were weighed in that day. Each
student could weigh in 3 fish for their total weight to
get a score, and each school could weigh in all three
of their students total boat weight to get a school
score. The total boat weight consisted of the 3 fish
that the student weighed in for his score combined
with the boaters 2 fish that he was allowed to weigh
in.
The students have a $300.00 first place cash
prize, $200.00 second place cash prize, and $100.00
third place cash prize. The school with the highest
score gets to keep the trophy in their showcase for
the year and the 3 students that were chosen to fish
for the school each get a $100.00 cash prize. A total
weight of 9.99 pounds won the tournament for the
students weigh in and a total boat weight of 17.5
pounds for 5 fish was the high score for the winning
school.
All of the students really enjoyed the fishing trip
and wants to do it next year. A total of $900.00 was
given out for prize money that local sponsors donated.
There were also free hamburgers and drinks at the
weigh in. All of the bass were handed over to the
Department, and thanks to the Louisiana Pig Stickers
Bass Club and the help of the Concordia Parish
inmate labor, I was able to donate filet bass to several
needy families around the community.

ello everyone and greetings from Region 4. Hunting season is upon
us and it looks like it will be a very productive season. The drought
conditions have denitely altered hunting areas and strategies, but
success rates are still high. Region Agents have been busy handling complaints
from citizens. Several good cases have been made on our public lands, as well
as on private. I would like to remind both sportsman and non, to call and report
game violations when they see them. It is frustrating to be somewhere and have
someone come up to you and say man they did this on Saturday or last night.
When you ask why they did not report, they say didnt know who to call or it
really doesnt bother me too much. You need to do the math on how much you
spend to hunt every year from lease, camp, and the gas, and lets not forget the
cost to put out bait. Remember they are stealing from all of us, whether its the
deer you watch in your backyard or are the ones you wait for on your hunting
stand. The Operation Game Thief number is 1-800-422-2511 and is all over our
publications. We also have a new app on smart phones for reporting violations
to Operation Game Thief. You can simply text the violation to us and as always
remain anonymous. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable hunting season, and
bring a kid with you.

By Sgt. Cliff Ortis
I
t was opening weekend of squirrel season and the
shots were echoing in the distance. I was traveling
along the spillway levee and noticed a small ATV
trail heading into the spillway. I had already observed
two vehicles parked a quarter mile down the levee
and saw the ATV ramps, so I decided to sit near the
trail.
At about 10:00 I heard the bikes coming out,
and I was positioned off the trail in order to surprise
them. As they came to the opening, I made my way
over to shut them down. As they hit the opening,
they saw me but turned their heads and headed up
the levee. I knew they had to see me, but they kept
traveling. As they hit the top of the levee, one bike
made a huge looping turn left which put him out
of view for just a split second and he reappeared
headed down the levee.
I was headed back to my truck when this was
going on, but I never had taken my eye off of them.
I traveled up the levee and searched the extra large
turn that he made and found three freshly killed
squirrels.
I headed over to where they were loading their
ATVs and asked if he lost something on the detour
that he had made. The problem with the three extra
squirrels was one had eight squirrels and the squirrel
thrower had seven. Seven plus three is not eight. He
admitted to dropping the squirrels and taking over
the limit and was given the squirrel hunter of the
year award, which cost him a few hundred bucks.

H
ello again from
Region 5. Well,
as we expected,
most of us are enjoying
the much cooler
temperatures, even
though a few are waiting
for it to warm back up.
As winter is upon us,
its time for real game
warden work. Those
long nights waiting in
the dark for that night
hunter to come by with
his one eyed dog, or
standing in the cold
water in the rice fields
and marshes early in the
morning, hoping that
duck hunter will show
up. But colder weather
also means oyster
season in Cameron
Parish, which will have
agents very busy as
well. If you want to see
tough agents, follow us
this winter on Calcasieu
Lake.
Earlier this fall,
agents attended a
conservation banquet in
Acadia Parish, in which
there were over 30
youths present. There, a
lifetime hunting license
was donated to a young
man who was selected
in a random drawing.
Agents also made a
monetary donation to
a group of Boy Scouts
in Beauregard Parish to
further their education
of the outdoors and
becoming responsible
young men. I firmly
believe in aiding our
youth and keeping them
interested in hunting,
so they can experience
the outdoors as we did
growing up. With that
said, I would like to
congratulate Sr. Agt.
Dannon Maricles son,
Riley, with taking his
first deer. It was an eight
point, by the way, and
Sr. Agt. Maricle was
very proud that he could
share that moment with
his son.
As the north winds
blew, down came the
teal and out went the
shrimp. Teal season
was very busy. There
were several over limit
cases made, with the
usual licenses and lead
shot violations as well.
We would work teal
hunters early in the
morning, then spend the
rest of the day keeping
those cast netters in
line. They couldnt
help but stuff their ice
chests, being that they
were catching 4 to 5
pounds of shrimp per
cast. During a two week
period, agents cited over
ten individuals for taking
over the limit of shrimp
on Rockefeller Refuge.
One of the ten was
caught again two weeks
later.
Several deer cases
have been made so far,
ranging from no licenses,
illegal weapon, snaring,
Continued
and even shooting them from the tractor. West Bay
was chock-a-blocked as usual, which kept agents very
busy.
Well, thats about it from southwest Louisiana.
Remember to stay safe, dry and warm this hunting
season. And now more than ever, is time to be extra
safe in the boats and wear that Life Jacket. Until
next time enjoy that good bowl of gumbo or that fresh
deer sausage.

WHOOPING CRANES
By. Sr. Agent Buddy Murray
H
ello everyone, this is Sr. Agent Buddy Murray
and I work the Areas of Acadia, Jefferson
Davis, and Vermilion Parishes. In February
2011, a nonessential experimental population of
whooping cranes was established at White Lake
Wetlands Conservation Area. There were ten cranes,
in all, that were delivered to White Lake. On March
14, 2011, these cranes were released into the wild and
have since been sighted in Acadia, Jefferson Davis,
Vermilion, and also West Feliciana Parish. I have
personally seen one of cranes in Acadia Parish that
was in a local farmers crawfish pond. I was able to
get very close to the crane and take several photos.
These birds seem to be very comfortable around
human presence. This could also be the downfall of
these magnificent birds.

On October 10th, 2011, I was notified that a
whooping crane had been possibly shot off of Lyons
Rd. in Jefferson Davis Parish. I arrived along with
Agent Justin Lowry and LDWF biologists Carrie
Salyers and Sara Zimorski. We located two whooping
cranes that had been shot and killed. The cranes were
recovered in a rice field, were they had been staying
for the past several weeks. Further investigation
determined that two juveniles killed the two cranes on
October 9th. The juveniles have since been charged
and are waiting their day in court.
These two juveniles were seen earlier that day
Whooping Cranes
shooting guns off of a bridge close to the area where
the birds were found. This is a common practice that
we see a lot in our area. Just stop at any bridge on
a country road and you will see all kinds of spent
shotgun shells and rifle casings on the road. This
activity is illegal and also very dangerous and is
commonly known as plinking. Plinking or any type
of shooting should be done on private property with
the permission of the landowner and adults should
supervise juveniles. We like to see juveniles in the
field enjoying the outdoors, but they must respect
property, laws, and practice conservation.
There are now only four cranes left that the
biologists are able to track. The remains of one of
the birds were found in a corn field in West Felicana
Parish. Apparently, a coyote or bobcat had killed it.
Another crane had to be put down by biologists due
to sickness. There are two cranes that are missing and
their GPS transponders have not been transmitting
any data. If anyone sees a whooping crane in the wild
they are asked to contact Rockefeller Refuge at (337)
491-2593.
FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
By Sr. Agent Anthony Verret
O
n October 5, 2011, I was outside enjoying
my day off with my wife on our porch. I
was about to light up the pit to throw some
ribeyes on, when my phone rang. It was a complaint
of an individual shooting deer with a rifle from his
tractor. Keep in mind, we are still in archery season
in Area 3. I looked at my wife and told her what was
going on. She looked at me and said that is just crazy.
I changed clothes and took off towards the location
of the offense which was around the Gueydan area in
Vermilion Parish.
On my way there, I was talking to the
complainant. The complainant said that Johnny (the
offender), shot the deer from his tractor, took the deer
to his house, then cleaned it in the barn behind the
house. I got to the location and only saw one house
with a barn behind it on the street. There were some
individuals standing next to a truck on a field road
next to the house and barn. After talking to them for a
bit, I learned that Johnny was related to them. I asked
them if they could call Johnny and see where he was
so I could talk to him. They called a couple of times,
but no answer.
At that time I noticed a car leaving the residence
that the deer was supposedly cleaned at. I stopped
the vehicle to see if they knew where Johnny was. I
then learned that the driver of the vehicle that I had
stopped was Johnnys wife. She had this very nervous
look on her face when I said I needed to talk to her
husband about a deer. She went on to tell me that
they been having problems with the neighbors and so
on. She finally told me where her husband was. By
that time, Lt. Robert Buatt, Sr. Agent Buddy Murray
and Agent Justin Lowry arrived. Lt. Buatt and Agent
Lowry stayed by the house while Agent Murray and
I went talk to Johnny. We got a hold of Johnny, who
was at his sons house down the road, and told him
of the situation. We asked if we could look inside his
barn. With a very nervous look on his face, he told us
yes.
We get to the barn and step out of our units. Lt.
Buatt walked inside the barn and then said, Here we
go. He was looking a huge blood spot that looked
very fresh in the dirt. At that time, Johnny said that he
did shoot a deer with a rifle and that he did not have
any hunting licenses or any deer tags. We then asked
Johnny to tell us the story from beginning to end.
Johnny said that the day before, he was plowing in
his field and had jumped a pretty nice buck. Johnny
said he didnt have anything to shoot the deer with.
When he got into his tractor on this day Johnny said
he was not making the same mistake. He decided to
take his 30-30 rifle with him for a ride on the tractor.
Well needless to say while his was plowing a six
point buck had jumped out. Johnny said he stopped
his tractor, aimed at the deer and shot it. John said he
dropped the deer right there on the spot.
He got the deer and brought it back to his barn
to clean. Johnny said he started to realize that he
might have done a few things wrong. He hurried
up and cleaned the deer before anybody saw him.
Continued
Unfortunately for him, his neighbor pretty much saw
everything. The neighbor came rolling down Johnnys
driveway and said he called the Sherriffs office
and they were coming out. Johnny said he got really
nervous and realized he shouldnt have done what he
did. He kept on apologizing to us and saying this was
the first time he had ever done anything like this, and
First Time for Everything
he said he really messed up. Well after all that, we
handled business and told Johnny that we appreciated
his cooperativeness with this matter. I even got back
home in time to light up my pit and throw those
ribeyes on.

The Teal
season for
us here in region 6 was
descent. Hunters were
able to take a few birds
home and are hoping for
a great, big duck season.
As the hunting seasons
are opening, I would like
to remind deer hunters
about the mandatory
tagging system. There
are a few changes from
last year. You now have
7 days to validate your
kill, but you will not
receive a validation

16 years old are not

required to have a license but must have there own
deer tags. WMAs have certain restrictions so be
sure to pick up a copy of the hunting pamphlet. Just
remember to be safe and enjoy your hunting.

Sergeant Paul Stuckey, all of Region 6s thoughts and
prayers go out to the Stuckey family.

ITS A CADET TRADITION
By Sr. Agent Stephen Rhodes
W
e were working closed season shrimp patrols for our upcoming May season, and the word was that
the 15/20 count white shrimp were still in. I was working with Sr. Agent Thomas Wolf and Cadet
Norman Deroche. Norman was pretty fresh out of
our academy, and this was going to be his first true shrimp
patrol. The wind had picked up and working the 3 mile line
meant getting into some really rough water. To my way of
thinking, this would be just what some of our less-than-law-
abiding shrimpers might look at as an opportunity. The Game
Wardens are not going to come out in this sort of weather
right? Wrong.
I was working the helm of one of our 32 Whalers, with
Thomas and Norman on lookout. Thomas was pointing out
and explaining what we look for at night and how we work
shrimp patrols. We were about three hours into good dark, and
our patrol had brought us behind Raccoon Point and headed
toward Point Au Fer Island. We noted a few of the 50 plus
shrimp boats prowling the 3 mile line but staying just outside
the closed area. Thomas piped up, Hey Stephen, I keep seeing
a light turn up about three and a half miles off our starboard
bow.
I looked just in time to see nothing. Man, Im telling you
Im pretty sure there was a light there.
Norman added that he had also thought he saw a light in
that direction.
I angled the boat to put us in the rough area of where they
thought they saw the light, and after a minute of heading in
that direction, the light turned up again. Two bow lights could
be seen bucking their way through the at least 5 waves. I
said, Might be a work boat trying to find the mouth of Bayou
Dularge, but were here, so lets go see.
We had to get within a quarter of a mile from the boat,
due to the wind and spray, to finally see a 36 skimmer boat
chugging along with its nets down. Whaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!
Thomas and I exchanged a fist bump. Norman looked like
he was about to handle any old regular citation. Dude, this
guy is at least two miles inside the line, I said. Thomas and I
continued to savor the moment while Norman looked at us like
we were a little off.

We marked the vessel with our GPS. I advised
the Captain of the vessel with our loudspeaker to
bring the vessel into Bayou Dularge, so that Thomas
and Norman would have the benefit of calm water to
board the vessel. Thomas and I explained everything
we were going to need to do, so Norman would be
up to speed and could get as much out of this stop as
possible. Closed season cases are pretty hard to come
by because of fines and the loss of the shrimp that we
seize, plus years of cat-and-mouse chases have made
the outlaw shrimpers pretty sneaky. Cadet Deroche
was getting one his first time out.
We finally got to where we could board the
boat, and Thomas and Norman crossed over with all
they would need to handle the case. Once I was fairly
sure that Thomas had taken control of the situation,
I radioed him to ask the two main questions: What
was his excuse? and How much shrimp does he
have on board? Thomas radioed back, No real
Its A Cadet Tradition
excusehe just thought we wouldnt be out because
of the weather. Like the old A-Team TV show, I
thought to myself, I love it when a plan comes
together! Thomas also advised that they were loaded
with around 4,000 pounds of shrimp. As the saying
goes, That one is gonna leave a mark.
A long boat ride in the dark and an even longer
wait for the shrimp dock to open put us finishing up
at around 8:30 in the morning. We finished up our
paperwork with both the captain of the vessel and the
owner of the dock and were finally ready to go home.
Thomas pulled me on the side and said, It took me
all night to figure out how I know the captain of the
vessel we caught. Back when I was a cadet he was the
first guy I ever caught in closed season. A tradition
continues and shows that some people never learn.

REGION 7
UPDATE
H
ello from Region
7. Lately, Its
been a very
rough time for local
Agents as well as our
brothers throughout the
state. We recently lost
one of our own with the
passing of Sergeant Paul
Stuckey. Fishermen just
outside St. Francisville
in West Feliciana Parish
found Sgt. Paul Stuckey,
47, at about 7 a.m. on
September 30, 2011 next
to his patrol truck on a
gravel river road. Sgt.
Stuckey was working a
complaint about illegal
hunting in woods near
the Mississippi River.
At this time, Louisiana
State Police are
investigating the incident
and have not released an
ofcial report. It appears
that his premature death
was accidental.
We would like
to send our deepest
sympathies to Sgt. Paul
Stuckeys family. Sgt.
Stuckey is survived by
his wife Kim, and three
sons, Mathew, Nathan
and Brayden. The
Memorial Service took
place on October 5, at
the First Baptist Church
REGION REP: SR. AGENT CLARENCE MARQUES
in Zachary. Wed like to send sincere and heartfelt
thanks to everyone whom attended the services or
otherwise showed support, including those whom
traveled from out of state.
Sgt. Stuckey served nearly nineteen years with
the LDWFs Enforcement Division. During his
career he established a strong reputation for being
nearly unappable. On the rare occasion when he
encountered a belligerent subject his typical reaction
was little more than a brief and mufed chuckle as
he continued to write out a citation. Co-workers
would be severely challenged to name an occasion
when they saw Paul angry or heard him complain.
Pauls supervisors never spent time wondering where

Paul was or what he was doing. He could always
be counted on to be in his assigned area fullling
his assigned duties for the day. He complained very
rarely about very little and remained near the top
in productivity. He frequently led his district, if not
the region and the state when it came to performing
public assistance. The board and members of the
Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association ask that you
keep Pauls family in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace Paul, weve got it from here.
Region 7 would like to send out a big
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Toby Miller whom
celebrated the arrival of their baby girl, Paisley, and
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Armstrong whom celebrated
the arrival of their baby boy - Carl III. Also, a big
congratulations goes out to Daniel Varnado on his

SLEEPY HEAD
By Sr. Agent Clarence Marques
A
fter a 12 hour shift, most people are ready to
get home and enjoy the family. Being Wildlife
Agents, we may not have that luxury during
hunting season. On this particular night, I received
a complaint from someone coon hunting whom
stumbled upon a truck hidden in some brush in the
middle of nowhere. The complainant thought it was
odd but remembered a food plot and elevated box
stand was located in the area. The area in question has
always had a history of gunshots being heard at night
during hunting season. So, as all Agents do, I put my
boots on and responded to the area.
Upon arrival, I located a vehicle parked in the
bushes hidden from view and shortly thereafter,
observed an elevated box stand (all windows open)
overlooking a large food plot, an active corn feeder
and salt blocks nearby. The moon phase was Full,
so everything was easily visible even though it was
close to Midnight.
I shouted toward the elevated box stand,
Wildlife and Fisheries! Come out! I observed a man
open the door to the box stand and say, Are you
bringing me to jail? I climbed up the ladder. Nearby,
on a chair, I observed a charged crossbow with a
loose arrow and two additional arrows secured in a
quiver. I asked him to explain what was going on
tonight. He claimed to have climbed into the box
stand so he could get some sleep (oh-oh, here we go!).
So, I asked Mr. Sleepy Head why would you want

to sleep in a box stand instead of going home which
was a short drive away. Mr. Sleepy Head said he
was going to make a morning hunt and was trying to
avoid making noises while walking to the box stand. I
advised theres an overwhelming amount of evidence
of him participating in night hunting - (being in a box
stand, windows open, overlooking a food plot, active
corn feeder, salt blocks, middle of night, full moon,
charged crossbow with plenty of arrows nearby).
After further discussion, Sleepy Head admitted he
knew it looked bad and apologized. Needless to say,
Sleepy Head was handled accordingly and advised to

LDWF LAUNCHES TIP411 AND IPHONE APP
T
he Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries (LDWF) is now offering a new
way to anonymously report outdoor related
violations to Enforcement Division agents. LDWFs
tip411 program is a part of their Operation Game
Thief program, which may offer a cash reward for
information leading to arrests or convictions.
To use the tip411 program, citizens can text
LADWF and their tip to 847411 or download the
LADWF Tips iPhone app from the Apple iTunes
store free of charge. CitizenObserver, the tip411
provider, uses technology that removes all identifying
information before LDWF receives the text so that
LDWF cannot identify the sender.
Texting or downloading the app enables the
public to send anonymous tips to LDWF and lets
LDWF respond back, creating a two-way anonymous
chat. Users of the app or texters can also send in
photos to help support their claim and be used as
evidence.
Were proud to make this technology available
to our citizens free of charge. This tip411 program
will help our citizens play an active role in helping us
enforce current conservation rules and regulations,
said LDWF Col. Winton Vidrine, head of the
Enforcement Division. This program will engage
younger folks in the process and it will save our
agency time and resources.
LDWF will monitor the tip411 program for
incoming tips 24 hours a day.
LDWF also offers their Operation Game Thief
24 hour toll free hotline. Citizens can anonymously
report tips by calling 1-800-442-2511, 24 hours a day.
CitizenObserver was founded in 2000 and
provides web based alerting tools to law enforcement,
education and public safety agencies in over 40 states.

TRAINING PAYS OFF, AGAIN
By Sr. Agent Garrett Kimble
I
was on my way home from Hopedale after a five
day hitch of working the oil spill. I was exhausted
and ready to see my wife and kid. I was rolling
about 70 mph or so on I-55 near Manchac. For those
of you who arent familiar with I-55 near Manchac,
its basically a four lane interstate bridge extending
many miles over the swamp. I was traveling in the
fast lane and had a Ford Explorer about 75 yards in
front of me, traveling about the same speed in the
slow lane. The drivers side front tire suddenly blew
out on the Explorer and the driver apparently jerked
the wheel because it started to swerve left to right.
After a few seconds of doing that, it started flipping
top over bottom. I slammed on my brakes as rubber
and glass flew everywhere. The vehicle flipped
several times ending up on all four wheels, bouncing
off of the left guard rail, and coming to rest against
the right guard rail. I stopped, turned on the blue
lights and called in the wreck to dispatch. I jumped
out of my unit and sprinted towards the driver. I then
watched as she got out of the explorer, ran across the
interstate and picked up a little 3 year old girl who
was sitting near the guard rail. During the ruckus,
the little girl was ejected and I didnt even realize it.
Another few feet and this little girl would have gone
over the side and into the swamp. The little girl was
screaming with blood all over her face. The driver
(mother) was scratched up pretty bad but nothing
obviously severe. My attention now was on the little
girl. I got the first aid kit out of my unit and got her
face cleaned up. Direct pressure on the gash on her
forehead stopped the bleeding. She kept saying, Lay
down, go to sleep. When I kept telling her she could
not lie down, she would cry really hard and scream.
I was doing everything from asking her questions to
singing to her to keep her awake. A couple of times
she nearly nodded off. This went on for about 10
minutes or so until Manchac Volunteer EMS arrived.
Acadian arrived shortly after and then the troop. The
mom and daughter both left in the ambulance. The
trooper and I noticed that there was a child safety seat
in the explorer but agreed that there was no way that
the little girl was secured properly.
About a month later while stopped at a red light,
I happened to notice an unrestrained child in the
vehicle stopped next to me. The child looked very
similar to the one from the accident. The child looked

reetings again
from Region 8.
as this edition
of the magazine is being
put together we have
nally had some relief
from the oppressive heat
of the summer. The days
are getting shorter and
the sunsets have that
familiar orange glow
that lets all outdoorsmen
know that the fall,
and more importantly,
hunting seasons are
here or nearly here.
This is the best time of
the year in my opinion.
Weve made a bait case
during dove season
and a closed season
duck case as well. We
saw a very busy teal
season. The agents are
seeking out their new
activities to work in
the woods and marshes
and continuing to work
recreational sherman,
as the fall and winter
doesnt really slow the
shing down at all. In
fact, in some areas of
the region, the shing
is better in the fall and
winter than it is in the
spring and summer.
With minimal effects
REGION 8
felt from Tropical Storm Lee on the opening weekend
of dove season, the marshes and swamps appear to
have survived the saltwater ush, and considerable
numbers of teal and big ducks have invaded the
marshes in the region, leaving both hunters and game
wardens anxious.
The region would like to say goodbye and good
luck to Sr. Agent Doug Danna and his great family as
he has transferred to statewide strike-force. Although
we will not see Doug on the regular basis that we did
before, we look forward to the times that we will get
to work with him in the future. We would also like to
welcome Agt. Mitchell Saunders who has transferred
into the region from the statewide strike-force. We had
two promotions in the region as well. Mike Garrity
and I were both promoted to sergeant recently. Mike
is now the St. Bernard Parish Sergeant and I am the

MONKEY BUSINESS IN THE FRENCH QUARTER
By Sgt. Tim Fox
I
ts intriguing to reflect on certain experiences
after a little time has passed. I know the
traditional clich are usually just overused bits of
conversation filler. When looking back on the most
interesting case I have made and saw through to trial
in my 5 years, Id have to say there really isnt much
that I could have done differently. More poignant
statements regarding this case would include, An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and
borrowing from Forrest Gump Life is like a box of
chocolates (you all know the rest). Despite the
implied simplicity in the local referencing of this case,
the investigation and trial proved to be anything but
simple. Without further ado, I give you the story of
the case that has come to be known simply as The
French Quarter Monkey Case.
Its difficult to say when it actually started, but
it was brought to the attention of the Enforcement
Division in Region 8 in late February 2011. A call
was received by the Region 8 Office from a female
complainant who observed some people in the French
Quarter with live monkeys performing some sort of
Continued
act for cash tips. Apparently the two older subjects
were allowing people to take pictures with them and
the monkeys and some of the public were actually
able to touch and/or hold the monkeys.
When this complaint was being relayed to me, it
even garnered laughter within the office. Im not sure
what it is about monkeys that elicits instant humor,
but during my investigation I have come to realize
that the mere mention of monkeys make people laugh.
Perhaps its the fact that there are no primates that are
native to North America, so our interaction with them
outside of Zoo environments is very rare. Perhaps its
our perception that has been sculpted by the comical
nature which these creatures have been exploited by
television and movies that causes the giggles. On the
other hand, the simple facts that the agents observed
on the day of the case definitely lend to its humorous
reputation. Regardless of the cause, I have made
peace with the associated chuckles that Ive heard
whenever the case is mentioned.

Monkey Business in the French Quarter
The Captain informed me that he wanted me to
go check it out the next Saturday (the first weekend
of the Mardi Gras season). Sr. Agt. Gernados (Jason)
would be with me, as well as Department Biologist
Maria Davidson. Maria was accompanying us for
positive i.d. of the species and to ensure proper care
in the event of a seizure of the animals. We met at
the region office in the early afternoon so we could
get there, investigate the complaint, and handle any
business before the local nightlife could achieve its
expected charming chaos.
Growing up in New Orleans, I have been to the
French Quarter more times than Id like to admit.
Ive seen it at just about all times of the day, for
Mardi Gras, Super Bowl celebration, LSU Natl
Championship celebrations, weddings, holidays, and
several other times for general recreation. Odd as
it may seem, Ive never really been taken back by
things observed on Bourbon Street which might be
why thought of people using monkeys as a prop for
panhandling never seemed absurd to me. I digress.
Never since working for the department did I
expect to be walking up and down Bourbon Street
during Mardi Gras while on duty. There we were,
none the less. After making one pass down the storied
old street, we were contacted by some NOPD officers
to whom we explained our reason for being there.
They led us to the corner of a relatively well known
watering hole about two blocks away. A crowd that
could only be described as Spectators formed a
semi-circle near the front of the building. All of them
snapping pictures and focusing their attention to the
middle of the circle.
As I finally breached the inner portion of the
crowd, I realized the complaint was valid. The image
burned in my memory forever of a gray bearded
elder man (whom well call John) in head to toe
Pirate costume with two small monkeys crawling on
his shoulders (also in pirate Garb) and, last but not
least, Mardi Gras beads. His similarly aged female
counterpart (lets call her Jane) was steps away with
what could only be described as gypsy scarfs or wraps
of some kind with a third small monkey. In between
John and Jane was an adult Patas Monkey who was
dressed in what appeared to be toddlers clothing tied
tightly in a baby stroller. Between the crowd and the

violators was a five gallon bucket with a sign that
read TIPS.
In the interest of time for you, our appreciated
readers, I will give you the abridged version of the
issuance of citations. So picture Bourbon Street, not
wall to wall people but getting close to that kind of
crowd. Many of the revelers were in various states
of inebriation, but for the most part docile. So we tell
the subjects why we are there, we determine that they
do not possess the permits to possess such animals
in Louisiana, and we inform them that were seizing
the monkeys. Even if they had the permits, they were
in violation by allowing them to come into contact
with the public. In the ensuing moments, EMTs and
NOPD crisis units were called to the scene because
the charade being played out in front of us was award
worthy, to put it lightly.
John claimed that the animals were service
animals for Jane and provided some bogus cards
from an online scam. Were it not for the assistance
of LDWF Large Carnivore Program Manager Maria
Davidson (who was instrumental in creating current
legislation regarding primate possession in the state,
and thusly, had knowledge of these bogus animal
registrars), we might have fallen prey to this scam.
We issued citations to both subjects and seized the
animals. One of the things Ill never forget is when
Maria explained to Jane that the animals would only
listen to their owner and that any harm inflicted
on us or the public could likely lead to mandatory
destruction and testing of the animals, Janes
shenanigans came to a screeching halt and a calm
return to normalcy. The animals were delivered to a
zoo in Monroe, where they would be well taken care
of until the court appearance.
When examined by the zoo personnel, including
a licensed DVM(VET), the animals were all found
to be in less than sanitary condition and suffering
from moderate to severe diaper rash. Thats right...
diaper rash. I forgot to include that vital part of their
costumes. Not to mention they were considerably thin
from being fed a very unhealthy diet. This is why we
ended up charging the subjects with simple animal
cruelty as well.
So the next time I was working I started on the
report, and the one clue of criminal history found
on one of the subjects was the key to Pandoras
Box. Over the next week the investigation into the
history of these two subjects became somewhat
of an obsession. After speaking with several law
enforcement departments in Florida, Texas, New

York, the FBI, and the USDA investigators, I realized
that this wasnt just an honest mistake made by two
out of state travelers. Ill just say that these two
had a long and colorful history, in several states, of
interaction with law enforcement officers regarding
treatment and illegal acts related to animals and
commerce related to animal exploitation, specifically
primates. Id spend all day talking with different
police and wildlife officers around the country and
receive faxes and tips from them, and then Id be so
worked up that Id miss sleep and work on the report
at odd times. Like I said, obsession.
The captain was getting bombarded by phone
calls from different attorneys, politicians, news
stations, the Dept. of Justice, etc. I was trying to get
the report completed as expediently as possible while
giving it my best efforts because of the mountain
of evidence and history that I uncovered. The final
product was one that I will always be proud of and
might well be the longest report I may ever produce
in this job. (Two cover pages, 17 pages of details, six
or seven pictures, and nearly 200 pages of statements,
complaints, signed witness statements, professional
opinions, and excerpts from the federal regulations
regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act.) Dont
worry, I have shown ample appreciation to all of
the law enforcement officers around the south who
helped me during this hunt.
So after five and a half months of build-up,
courtroom appearances, threats from various special
interest groups, court ordered visitation of the
subjects and the animals, and tireless preparation
with the Orleans Parish District Attorneys Office
the trial was here. Both the captain and I were in
constant contact with related professionals and
experts who were all due to testify on the states
behalf. After meeting with them all and going over
the plan for the trial our prosecution team was ready. I
remember laughing at the thought that several of the
administrative workers in the court building that I see
on a regular basis during the course of my job, were
sitting in as observers for the trial. In my many visits
to the court building between them receiving the
report and the trial date, I received constant interest

from them because they all must have had a chance to
read and talk about it.
Our prosecution team had four people qualified
as expert witnesses in court that day. I remember the
feeling of hope I had that things were going our way
at the time that we recessed for lunch. I eagerly hoped
that the second half of the trial would be as smooth.
The states goal was to achieve a conviction on the
charges and to get the animals away from owners
who would, and have shown, disregard for their
health and exploit them for monetary gain. As we
were all weary from the eleven and a half hour trial,
it was time for the final verdict. I would challenge
Hollywood producers to write a more dramatic
ending. As the judge was ready to give his verdict and
was debating on returning the animals to the subjects,
I actually had to run to my truck two blocks away
and retrieve the copy of Title 76 regarding potentially
dangerous large animals. As I was sprinting through
the darkened street in my Class A boots (never a
good idea) I couldnt help but think that the last six
months of work and obsession were hinging on me
getting that written law in front of the judges eyes.
When he read the words and leveled the subjects
with the verdict and order of forfeiture, it was instant
validation for all of us who were there on behalf of
the animals and the law.
The success of the trial was not achieved on
my work alone. It might not have been possible if it
were not for the great work done by Orleans District
Attorneys office personnel, namely Bernard Blair
lead attorney, the objective and fair opinion delivered
by the Honorable Judge Sean Early, LDWF Biologist
Expert Witness Maria Davidson, Primatologist
Marsha Fernandez, Audubon Zoo, The entire staff
of the Louisiana Purchase Zoo and Gardens Staff
in Monroe, Texas Game Wardens, Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission, And USDA
Investigator Jeannie Biggs.
The ounce of prevention that was well worth the
pound of cure was me running both subjects through
NCIC to see if they had any criminal history related
to animals. If it werent for that digging, I seriously
doubt that the report would have had as much force

and impression. As for the borrowed quote from Forrest Gump, well obviously whenever responding to a
complaint no matter what the nature of it is, you truly never know what youre going to get. As this complaint
started with associated laughter, it only seems fitting that the last time I thought about this case before writing
this article ended in laughter. I was stopping by the Region 8 office one day in August, and the Capt. McManus
told me to go in the lieutenants office that there was something for me on Lt. Skenas desk. I had to laugh as I
opened the monkey shaped/themed card addressed to Sr. Agent Fox. It was a card from PETA, with a notion of
thanks for a job well done and several small monkey shaped tins with banana flavored mints inside. It was an
interesting change of pace. Most times, as game wardens, the animals we deal with are already deceased by the
time we witness a violation. It was satisfying to be able to help some animals escape a life of inferior treatment.

I
ts a common occurrence in South Louisiana:
driving down the road and spotting an alligator
on the side of the road. In other geographical
locations, people see animals such as deer, moose,
bears, and other big game animals that roam the
wild. This is a story about an alligator sighting in an
unexpected place.
During the early morning hours of June 25,
2011, Causeway Police were notified of an alligator
sighting at mile marker 9 on the south bound lanes of
the Causeway Bridge. For those of you who are not
familiar with the Causeway Bridge, let me explain.
Its about a 24 mile long bridge that spans across the
middle of Lake Pontchartrain, connecting the New
Orleans Metro Area to the Northshore suburbs. This
gator sighting was odd because theres no way an
alligator could have ventured on top of the bridge by
its own free will. Causeway Police responded to the
location of the complaint and discovered a seven and
a half foot alligator. The gator obviously had to have
been dumped or jumped out of a moving vehicle and
was injured and covered with road rash. Causeway
police, along with the help of some Boh Brothers
construction workers, were able to capture the gator
and transport him safely to the south shore of the
bridge. LDWF nuisance hunters later met up with
police and unfortunately were forced to euthanize the
gator due to his injuries.
On June 29, 2011, I was contacted by my Region
Captain, who told me to contact Causeway Police
to assist them in finding out how that gator ended
up on the Causeway, and who put it there. Initially I
thought this would be no problem, thanks to modern
technology! All vehicles crossing the Causeway are
videotaped as they drive through the toll booths. I
thought, all we had to do was review the footage and
would easily spy the perp! Wrong! As it turns out,
quality of video at 5:00 in the morning is not ideal,
but we were able to narrow our prospects down to
two different vehicles. I, along with Sgt. Mike Kelly

from the Causeway Police, met with the two suspects
on two different occasions. During the second
interview, one of the suspects told us everything
before we could even let him know why we were at
his house.
Lets call this suspect, Billy. I, agents Joel
Crump, Keith Francis, and Sgt. Mike Kelly from
Causeway Police, arrived at Billys house to conduct
an interview. However, as soon as I introduced us and
asked Billy, Do you know why we are here? Billy
said Youre here about that alligator that fell out the
back of my truck? I was shocked to say the least! My
response was, yes, sir, why dont you tell me about
it. After receiving his rights per Miranda, Billy went
on to tell, and write the whole story:
According to Billy, he was at the local swimming
hole with his kids, when they discovered a big bad
gator sharing the hole with them. Billy said he didnt
mind sharing because he loves animals and would
never hurt any animals. Apparently, however, another
guy that was also swimming in the swimming hole
had plans to shoot the helpless little gator, so Billy
volunteered to capture the gator and relocate him to
save his life. In my opinion, Billy has been watching
The Great Alligator Caper
too much TV and forgot that it was against state law
to fool around with alligators. Billy went on to tell
us that he caught the gator, taped him up, loaded him
into the back of his pick-up truck, and attempted
to cross the Causeway Bridge on his commute to
work in St. Charles Parish where he works on the
Mississippi River. Billys plans were to release
the gator in the river where he wouldnt be able to
bother any swimmers and where he would be safe.
Unfortunately, Billy did more harm than good. On
his journey to freedom, Mr. Gator got antsy and
decided to bail out of Billys truck. Unknowingly,
Billy kept on driving to his workplace. Once Billy

arrived and found his load was missing he stated, I
guess he fell out.
Billy was cited for possessing an alligator during
a closed season, illegal possession of an alligator and
for having an unsecured load on the Causeway Bridge.
The penalty for each alligator charge is a fine between
$400 and $950, and jail time up to 120 days, or both,
plus court cost and forfeiture of anything seized.
The penalty for having an unsecured load on the
Causeway Bridge is a non-moving violation to be set
by the court. Billy will also be assessed a civil penalty
for the value of the alligator.
This is a great example of why we dont mess
with alligators. If you live in South Louisiana, it is
likely that you will come across a gator sooner or
later. Please let this story teach a lesson to everybody:
Call LDWF if you have a gator problem. Its against
the law to try to fix it yourself. You dont want to
end up like Billy!
O
n March 16, 2011, my wife and I experienced
the worst thing that can happen to any parent.
We lost our youngest son due to complications
during a surgery to remove a brain tumor. His name
was Jonathan. He was 3 years old, his favorite color
was red, he loved Thomas the Tank Engine, and he
was best friends with his big brother. I will now and
forever miss his smile and the way that he looked at
me.
Jonathan had a rare brain tumor called
Craniopharyngioma. It is usually present inside the
cells during utero and doesnt normally present itself
until a child is 10 or 11 years old, when the tumor
begins to press against the optic nerve, and the child
goes blind. Jonathan was a little different. He had
headaches his whole life. His pediatrician always
attributed it to a variety of causes: blocked ears, vision,
allergies, etc. Finally, after a 12-hour headache without
relief, we took him to the emergency room and they
found the tumor. It was the beginning of the worst time of my life.
Craniopharyngioma has little to no research into what causes it or how to diagnose it early. It is so rare in
fact, that it occurs in only 1 in a million people and is responsible for only 4% of all childhood tumors. But, to
his mother and I, one in a million is one too many. That is why it came as no surprise to me that my wife, the
most selfless person I know, decided that it was up
to us to raise enough money to start research for this
tumor, so that no other parent has to suffer what we
have suffered. When most people would be using
anger and blame to deal with their grief, my wifes
first instinct was to help others.
We contacted the National Brain Tumor Society.
We were told we needed to raise $300,000.00 before
they could dedicate the funds to the research. I was
discouraged, but my wifes attitude was: we have to
start somewhere. In 5 weeks, she planned our first
fundraiser. We called it Jumping For Jonathan.
Everything was donated. Area restaurants provided the food, local businesses provided auction items, and our
friends and family provided the manpower. Words cannot express the feeling you get when you see the general
good nature of others. The sacrifices that others made to help our family and our cause was immeasurable.
About 400 people attended the event. They opened their hearts and their wallets. At one point, the line

to gain entrance was out of the door. My wife
and I looked at each other and said, If we can do
this in 5 weeks, just think what we can do with
a year to plan. We raised a total of $20,000. It
was a success. I want to give special thanks to the
Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association, who gave us
one of our largest donations, $1500, and contributed
greatly to our success. It may take a while, but we
WILL raise the money needed to start research into
Gone, But Never Forgotten
Craniopharyngioma brain tumors. If there is one thing
about my wife, when she sets her mind to something,
she doesnt give up until its done.

the National Brain Tumor Society in the name of
