LWFC Approves Notice of Intent for Hunting Regs, Hunting Seasons and WMA Rules for 2021-22

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC) adopted notices of intent for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 hunting seasons, 2021-22 general and Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) hunting seasons and rules and regulations, 2022 general and WMA turkey hunting season and rules and regulations and 2021-22 migratory bird hunting season and rules and regulations at its January meeting Thursday (Jan. 7) in Baton Rouge.
The notices of intent include proposed hunting season dates and regulation changes from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) for the upcoming hunting seasons and provide for a public comment period.
Some of the proposed changes include:

• Clarification on use of legal gear in take of raccoon and opossum to allow use of archery gear and air rifles, which makes legal gear the same as for small game.

• In alignment with HB 159 passed during the 2020 Louisiana legislative session, removes the requirement to obtain a permit from LDWF enforcement in order to take nuisance wildlife and outlaw quadrupeds at night during hunting season on private property.

• Change in tagging requirement that once a harvested deer has been tagged and validated, the hunter will no longer be required to possess antlers or sex organs as long as the tag remains with the carcass. This will allow fewer body parts transported to reduce the movement of potentially CWD infected material.

• Change removing deer validation by LDWF for WMA managed deer hunts. Hunters would have to validate deer harvested on WMA managed hunts. This will reduce the likelihood of double counting.

• Allow tracks to be utilized on ATVs/UTVs on WMA ATV/UTV trails as long as they meet current WMA ATV/UTV length/width requirements.

• Removal of youth lottery deer hunting on Atchafalaya Delta WMA and make it an open youth hunt.

• Removal of mandatory check requirement of all deer and feral hogs harvested on Atchafalaya Delta WMA as it is already a self-clearing permit requirement to check any harvested game.

• Addition of woodcock season on Elbow Slough WMA, which is located within a major winter flyway for woodcock, increasing hunting opportunity.

• Removal of ability to use dogs for small game on Marsh Bayou WMA.

• Change in sport fishing regulation on Pomme de Terre WMA to allow sport fishing after 10 a.m. during September teal season.

• Closure of waterfowl hunting at 2 p.m. on Salvador/Timken WMA.

• Move Washington and St. Tammany parishes into Area A for turkey season.

• Closing turkey season in that portion of East Carroll Parish previously open.

To view the full notice of intent and all proposed hunting season dates and regulation changes for the upcoming hunting seasons, go to https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/resources/category/commission-action-items.
Public comment will be accepted through 9 p.m. on March 4, 2021. It will also be accepted at LWFC monthly meetings from now through March 4. Comments may be submitted directly to Tommy Tuma, LDWF Wildlife Division, P.O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA. 70898-9000 or 225-765-2349 or by e-mail at ttuma@wlf.la.gov.
LDWF will also hold a public meeting on the NOI via Zoom at a date and time to be announced at the February Commission meeting.

How to Check the Status of Your Stimulus Check

The IRS has already started sending out second stimulus checks. If you’re asking yourself “where’s my stimulus check,” the IRS has an online tool that will let you track your payment. The tool is called the “Get My Payment” portal, and it’s an updated version of the popular tool Americans used to track the status of their first-round stimulus checks.

With the updated tool, most people can check the status of both their first- and second-round stimulus payments (if you received more than one first-round payment, the tool will show you only the most recent payment information). According to the IRS, the revised tool is available in both English and Spanish, too.

  • You didn’t file a 2019 tax return;
  • You didn’t use the “Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here” tool by November 21, 2020, to get a first-round stimulus payment; or
  • You receive Social Security payments or other federal benefits, and the IRS doesn’t have enough information from the appropriate federal agency to process your payment.

What Does the Stimulus Check Portal Do?

The updated “Get My Payment” tool lets you:

  • Check the status of your stimulus payment;
  • Confirm your payment type (paper check or direct deposit); and
  • Get a projected direct deposit or paper check delivery date (or find out if a payment hasn’t been scheduled).

Unlike with the first-round stimulus checks, you can’t enter your bank account information to have your payment directly deposited into your account. That’s because second-round stimulus payments are only being issued based on information the IRS already has on file – that is, bank information from:

  • Your 2019 tax return;
  • The IRS online registration tool for non-filers used for first-round stimulus checks;
  • The “Get My Payment” portal if entered before December 22, 2020; or
  • A federal agency that sends benefits to you (e.g., Social Security Administration, Veteran Affairs, or Railroad Retirement Board).

This bank information can’t be changed, either. Also note that, if you have federal benefits deposited to a Direct Express card, your second stimulus check may also be deposited to that card. The bank information shown in the “Get My Payment” portal will be a number associated with your Direct Express card and may be a number you don’t recognize.

You also can’t request payment by debit card.

The portal is updated no more than once daily, typically overnight. As a result, there’s no reason to check the portal more than once per day.

What Information Will You Need?

To access the tool, you’ll be asked to provide a:

  • Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax ID Number (ITIN);
  • Date of birth;
  • Street address; and
  • Five-digit ZIP or postal code.

If you file a joint tax return, either spouse can access the portal by providing their own information for the security questions used to verify a taxpayer’s identity. Once verified, the same payment status will be shown for both spouses.

If you submit information that doesn’t match the IRS’s records multiple times, you’ll be locked out of portal for 24 hours. Don’t contact the IRS if that happens. Instead, just wait 24 hours and try again.

For additional tips on entering data into the “Get My Payment” portal, see the IRS’ FAQ page.

What Will the Status Report Look Like?

For second-round stimulus checks, the “Get My Payment” portal will display one of the following:

1. Payment Status. A payment has been processed, a payment date is available, and payment will be issued either by direct deposit or mail.

2. Payment Status Not Available. If you receive this message, you were either not eligible, or eligible but the IRS was unable to issue you a second stimulus check. You will need to claim any additional amount you may be entitled to on your 2020 tax return as a “recovery rebate” tax credit.

If you get the “Payment Status Not Available” notice, this means the IRS can’t determine your eligibility for a payment at that time. There are several reasons this could happen. Two common reasons are that you didn’t file either a 2018 or 2019 tax return or your recently filed return has not been fully processed.

Firment Urges an Objection

Statement from District 22 State Representative Gabe Firment on Congress certifying the Electoral College vote.

Tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday) Congress will meet in joint session to vote on certifying the electoral votes for President of the United States. I want the citizens of District 22 to know that I share your concerns about the integrity of the election and have urged our congressional delegation to object to the certification of the electoral votes until we can be assured that the election was fair and that every vote was counted. If we lose faith in the integrity of our election process, then we are in danger of losing our great Republic itself. 

Join me in praying this evening that the resolve of those voting on our behalf will be strengthened, and that our voices will be heard loud and clear in the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol. And let us not forget the eloquent warning of President Ronald Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the same.”

Please Object – An Open Letter to the Louisiana Congressional Delegation

By Royal Alexander/Opinion

Dear Louisiana Congressional Delegation:

I respectfully request that you object in the joint session on Jan. 6th. 

Whether the election outcome is altered as a result is not the point.  The point is that millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Louisianans believe as an article of faith that this election has been stolen and the outcome, therefore, is illegitimate.  The theft that has occurred, particularly in the disputed battleground states, is both alarming and unacceptable in a free society like ours.  

In addition to the large, inexplicable flips in online vote counts, the massive unverified mail-in ballots and the magical appearance of “midnight” ballots, a witness at a hearing this week hacked into a voting machine live, in real time, during a hearing on voter fraud.  

The fact that a fearful and impotent U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear this case on its merits makes even more important the exercise of your constitutional prerogative, duty, and responsibility.  The Framers, in Article II, clearly gave the power to determine electors to state legislatures and that express constitutional power simply cannot be squared with the non-legislative election activities in many of these states.

We simply cannot allow the sacred vote—the constitutional right that preserves and protects all the others—and the most powerful tool we possess to choose the kind of country we will live in—to be degraded or stolen.  Our republic cannot last if Americans become convinced their vote no longer counts and that they truly have no voice.  The core constitutional principle of our “government by consent of the governed” is mortally threatened.  If this is not challenged now, political corruption of this kind will only become more widespread and more sophisticated. 

Please object.  I realize that you will be harshly maligned by the often dishonest national “news” media and perhaps by the Republican Senate Caucus as well.  However, you will be beloved by many in this state.  And, your actions regarding this constitutionally and statutorily created remedy—designed for these very circumstances—will be viewed as a profile in courage.  To remain silent, however, could be interpreted to suggest a tacit endorsement of the organized corruption of Nov. 3rd.

I note that those now calling for the country to “move on” from the election certainly never did so in 2016.  Not only did the losing 2016 presidential candidate never stop attacking others after her loss but the winning candidate was never given a fair opportunity to govern, facing as he did a coup attempt to remove him—a duly elected president, a completely false three-year Russia collusion hoax investigation, and an impeachment effort with no legal or constitutional basis, to name only three. 

Please remember that dozens, if not hundreds, of brave individuals came forward to describe the fraudulent activities they witnessed.  To ignore them is inexcusable.  At the very least, Congress has a duty to hear and consider the information brought forth by our fellow citizens.  These witnesses, at a significant personal cost to themselves, certainly believe their actions were necessary to save the country.  The least we should hope for is that our elected officials demonstrate the same resolve.  Facts don’t lose their stubborn durability because they are ignored.  The truth doesn’t lose its intrinsic value because it is rejected, suppressed, or denied.

Thank you for considering my request.

Remember This? Marion’s Mission

By Brad Dison

Marion had always surrounded herself with animals.  “I’ve loved animals since I was in the womb,” Marion proclaimed.  “It is so embedded in me.”  When Marion’s parents brought her home from the hospital, she joked that if their marmalade cat named Toby had not approved of her, she would have been sent back to the hospital without a second thought.  One of her earliest memories was riding in the mountains in the saddle with her father.  Marion’s parents spent a lot of time in the mountains in California.  There, she learned a deep respect and love for nature.

Marion’s parents often brought home pets.  In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, Marion’s father worked as an electrical engineer.  Even with the advanced position, Marion’s family struggled financially.  To make extra money, Marion’s father built radios to sell.  Most people struggled to afford food, much less a radio, and sales were sporadic.  Potential customers wanted the radios but had no expendable income.  Marion’s father often traded the radios for other goods.  Many times, Marion’s father traded a radio for a dog.  Providing food for his family became increasingly difficult with each trade.  “Now, the radios didn’t eat,” Marion recalled, “but the dogs did, which was not the best business thing in the world.”  At one point, Marion remembered that they wound up with about twenty dogs.     

Marion’s love of animals inspired her to become a U.S. Forest Ranger.  Her mission was to devote her life to wildlife preservation.  However, those dreams were dashed early on when she learned that women were not allowed to be forest rangers.  At that time, men and women had clearly defined gender roles.  Marion had no choice but to select another career path. 

Following high school graduation in 1939, Marion entered a career field which was open to both men and women.  Unfortunately for her, it was not in the field of wildlife preservation, her dream profession.  However, her successful career afforded her the ability to help with wildlife preservation in other ways.  For over fifty years, Marion worked with the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens and is still on the board of trustees.  She once pointed out in an interview that “I’ve even got my own key to the Los Angeles Zoo.”  Marion usually visits the zoo before it is open to the public.  She has spent so much time at the zoo that many of the animals recognize her, approach her, and go for walks with her.  Marion and many of the animals have bonded over the years. 

On November 9, 2010, Marion got her childhood wish.  The U.S. Forest Service proclaimed her an honorary forest ranger during a ceremony at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.  During the ceremony, U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell apologized to Marion; “I am sorry you couldn’t join us before…You would have made marvelous contributions to our agency and to the cause of conservation across the United States.”  “Your passion for animals, for nature, for wildlife, perfectly suits you to our profession.”  Marion responded, “Whether I’ve been a legitimate forest ranger or not, I’ve been working for the cause for the last 89 years, and I will continue to work for it as much as I can.  In my heart I’ve been a forest ranger all of my life.  Now I’m official.  I know this is an honorary position, but it’s also one where I can use a voice to try to protect the remaining beautiful parts of this gorgeous world we live on.”  Marion stressed the importance of protecting natural habitats for wildlife.  “Wilderness is getting harder and harder to find these days on our beautiful planet, and we’re abusing our planet to the point of almost no return.  Once you pave it over, it never comes back.” 

As she hugged a Smokey Bear teddy bear and proudly wore her ranger hat and badge, she said, “I cannot thank you enough.  As excited as I am today, as grateful as I am – I know two people who would be over the moon – my mom and dad.”  At the conclusion of her speech, Marion told the crowd of onlookers, “I’m going to a wonderful celebration for Tina Fey this evening, and it’s a formal affair.  Do you think it would be alright if I wore my hat?”  The onlookers laughed and applauded.

Marion continues to work at her mission.  Her professional career has enabled her to better help with wildlife preservation than if she had become a U.S. Forest Ranger all those years ago.  Marion’s career began with a single spoken word in a live radio commercial.  The word she had to say was “Parkay.”  She was worried enough that she would make a mistake that she had the word written down in front of her during the broadcast.  The broadcast was a success and Marion’s career flourished soon thereafter.  She began working in the television industry in the 1940s, when television was in its infancy, and has never stopped.  She has worked on several memorable television shows such as “Petticoat Junction,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Love Boat,” “Mama’s Family,” “Empty Nest,” and many more.  Marion holds the Guinness World Record for the “Longest TV career by an entertainer.”  In addition to her television roles, Marion has also starred in many motion pictures, but she is probably most associated with her character, Rose, on the television series “The Golden Girls.”  Marion, whose continuing lifelong mission is wildlife preservation, is the middle name of Betty White.
