Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 10: October 1958 Not so long ago a strange, weak creature appeared upon this planet possessing two attributes that enabled him to dominate all of the other creatures of this earth. The creature was, of course, man, and two attributes were his ability to think and also two thumbs. But for these thumbs man might have been destroyed long ago by larger animals and naturally that goes vice versa for his ability to think.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 14: September-October, 1964 To most sportsmen, wildlife agents are those men who check to see that hunters and fisher men have valid licenses and have not harvested more than the legal share of game or game fish. They also patrol both marsh and wooded areas to make certain that no hunting is done out of season. It is well known that close attention is paid to commercial fisheries - running the gamut from fresh water to salt water operations. Commercial operations must be carried out in a legal manner and it is the duty of wildlife agents to enforce all laws regarding the taking of commercial sea foods and commercial fresh water fish. It would be well to point out at this time that enforcement of state laws governing the taking of both commercial seafoods and fresh water fish is not founded on what might be called punitive thinking. In reality, Louisiana's aquatic resources, both inland and coastal, are part of the overall economy of the State. If our fisheries resources are not kept as renewable sources of income, over-exploitation would result in hardships not only on the thou sands of individuals and families depend upon annual income from vast fisheries resources but upon numerous retail outlets handling everything from consumer goods to equipment and supplies.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 9: December 1956 After more than 30 years hunting on his own game preserve, Frank A.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 11: May-June 1959 Present plans call for the introduction of native duck food plants such as smartweeds, chufa and others. A fair stand of smartweed has been produced on one of the food plots as a result of broadcasting seed over the area during the summer. Good dove and quail foods such as buckwheat, corn and soybeans will be planted on the higher areas. Squirrel hunting in Bodcau Bottom is usually very good. Due probably to a poor acorn crop in 1957, and a scarcity of food during the summer, there were very few young squirrel produced in 1958. This resulted in below average squirrel hunting success during the 1958-59 season. Deer are increasing in and around the area. There have been two deer releases, one in 1955 and one in 1956, in the vicinity of Bodcau Bottom. It is not uncommonly new for one to see deer during visits to the area. A deer hunting season is planned for the area in the near future. This area is a good wild turkey habitat and it is planned to introduce this magnificent game bird on the area as soon as possible. Along the transition zone of Bodcau, where the hills end and the bottoms begin, are large fields that were once cultivated. Disking such areas increases the growth and spread of goatweed and other good game foods. It is planned to fence and plant some of these areas to such game foods as vetch, chocolate weed, common lespedeza, corn and others. These open areas already support a fair population of doves and quail, but with the addition of the proposed food plots the carrying capacity of these areas will be increased.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 14: March, 1962 In sound management of these resources for both commercial and recreational purposes, we must intensify our research.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 9: July-August, 1957 In the last five or six years, the trend has been to smaller bass lures. With their advent came longer and lighter casting rods that would enable the fisherman to cast these smaller lightweight lures. The reels have also been modified so that they are lighter. In place of heavy brass or steel gears, they are now being made of nylon. In place of the conventional wide spool, what was once considered a tournament reel is now standard equipment in most places. The narrow spools provide more speed in casting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 10: May-June, 1958 Weep no more for the mourning dove at the hands of the hunter. Surveys by scientists have proven that regardless of what sportsmen may do, few doves live more than a year anyway and the hunter is responsible for less than 20 per cent of the annual dove mortality. These facts have been brought out by a cooperative dove study made by ten southern states and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service. The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries com mission's pittman-robertson section, which is headed by John D. Newsom, coordinator, conducted the study in Louisi ana. The vast majority of doves are lost -to natural mortality which includes such things as starvation, mortality caused by adverse weather conditions, predation and disease. Few of the natural deaths of these birds are as quick and clean as death by the gun of the sportsman, Newsom says. The mourning dove, the commonest dove in Louisiana, is a game bird in this state and throughout the south; in other parts of the country it is classed as a songbird.

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 1: July-August, 1949 Nature is very partial in the bestowal of her gifts, but when she came to dis tribute her gifts to Louisiana, she seems to have been especially partial. Here rhe left most of her treasures in abundance. Thus Louisiana, because of her geographical position and her abundance of wild life (fish and game) is a region of unique importance in the conservation pattern of the entire United States. Preeminently a state of twelve-month outdoor life each year where it has become the general custom to enjoy the benefits of the woods and the waters all year round, this state has become of great importance in conserva tion, not only to the South, but to the entire nation. Thus, the problem of preserving for posterity the game and fish of this state has not only become a critical need, but a pattern for other states to follow. For the most part the people of Louisiana appreciate the value and necessity of conservation, but there must be more than just an appreciation to assure the future and safety of our natural resources for future generations. We take great pride in our boys and girls, but what are we doing to guarantee that when they grow to men and women, they will have the same God-given privileges of fishing and hunting that we now enjoy. What a crime against nature we abet, when we ignore the threat that future generations face the possibility of being able to see a quail, a wild turkey, a deer or a duck only in a museum. Earnest men, with unselfish purpose and concerned only with the public good, will aid in every way they can to assure conservation of our wild life. Sportsmen throughout the state Will assist in our enforcement of conservation laws and our efforts to educate the people of Louisiana to the great need for preservation of our wild life resources.
