They are nothing more than deer farms. The problem is Mike Strain isn't regulating them strongly enough or testing the animals enough.

When a chicken house has bird flu then all are eliminated. Why isnt that happening with deer farms? Strain is a vet. He knows better.

IKR. How many of these deer farm owners contribute to Strain's re-election campaign? Invite him to canned hunts on their property? None of this passes the smell test.

The “Sportsman’s Paradise” ain’t such a paradise anymore. Be honest.

Public land hunting is a joke. Has been for many years. They do nothing to maintain and cultivate these areas. Duck or deer doesn’t matter. The fishing is getting more and more controversial with limits that are questionable.

And much like the op, all of this seems driven by greed. Pogey boats are huge lobbies and I suspect you’ll find the same with high fence places.

A work buddy and his friends do a Kentucky trip every year. They go up for 5 days and hunt public land and come home with meat every single year, took some incredible deer last year that would put anything down here to shame.

The state is overhunted. Especially with the laws changing every year to make it easier to kill deer. The fact that you can hunt with a crossbow that can shoot 100 yards with some accuracy from October to the middle of February is wild. Being able to shoot a 35 Whelen as a “primitive” weapon…

Its by and large absolutely awful. Fishing is still ok in some places, offshore fishing is still world class if youve got the money to play. Hunting is OK in some private bastions.

As a whole though, it sucks arse.

The reason most other states really don't want LA hunters moving in.

You can’t compare Louisiana to any of those other states. Topography alone makes the Midwest and upper south much easier to hunt.

We have some public land giants here too. But I do agree, the state could do a much better job creating better whitetail habitat on public than they do already.

Too many hunters in La will shoot every antlered deer they see, yet let every doe walk. I’d be willing to bet that Louisiana has one of the most unbalanced deer population structure’s in the country.

Reduce the deer limit to 2 bucks and 3 does. No need for antler restrictions because most deer are bred by 1.5-2.5yo bucks.

Fishing, that’s a whole other issue. Until the Pogey, Oyster and Snapper commercial industries are put in check inshore/offshore fishing will suffer.

PER AI : There are approximately 300 high-fence deer enclosures in Louisiana, covering 29,573 acres.

Louisiana does not have regulations for high-fenced enclosures, and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries does not officially approve of them
