There was once a time when one school district closed its doors the day before squirrel season so that kids could start their long weekend in the woods.
The next few weeks hold some very important dates for those who hunt and fish in Louisiana. It starts with two big events this weekend and one later in the month.
Enforcement agents from The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries arrested a man for allegedly violating wildlife guidelines in Caldwell Parish. Authorities say that Taryn J. Varnell, 18, of Grayson, LA took a spotted fawn and was later arrested for aggravated cruelty to animals.
If you're out camping, hiking, hunting or just out exploring in the woods or rural areas and suddenly you come across something with purple paint on it, police say you need to leave.
Louisiana is know for excellent hunting and fishing. When Brett Delcambre first started Southern Drone Recovery it's primary goal was to help hunters locate their deer using drones. These are not any ordinary drones, they use thermal technology to determine the location of the deer. Now using that same method and technology he has shifted some of his focus to helping Louisiana families find their lost pets because "our pets are like family" Delcambre said in a interview with WAFB.
