XIHr. Yancey continued by telling the Commission that a request
was received from the Louisiana Department of Highways for a :
right-of-way to construct a black top road across a portion of
the Red River Wildlife Management Area in Concordia Parish. He
said the right-of-way will generally follow the existing gravel
road that runs west from Shaw along the south side of Grand Bayou.
Mr. Yancey explained that the agreement, if approved, would not
convey title to the right of way to the highway department, but
will only give them an easement to construct and maintain this
roadway. Also, it will not effect the Commission's ownership
of the property, therefore, Mr. Yancey recommended Commission
approval on this matter.

following resolution was unanimously adopted? ; ~

Mr. Yancey then recommended that the Commission adopt a
resolution protesting the cancellation of this year's September
Teal Season, . He stated it is the general concensus that this
act was unjustified. Mr. Yancey further recommended that copies-
of the resolution be forwarded to Stewart Udall, Secretary of the
' Department of the Interior, John 6. Gottschalk, Director of the
Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, and all members of the
Louisiana Congressional Delegation.
, Cm motion of Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Fairchild, the following resolution was unanimously adopted a,
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries. Commission.,
concludes that the recent action of the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and wildlife in canceling the September teal hunting
season in Louisiana for this year is totally unjustified, and
. WHEREAS, the past three seasons have provided excellent
hunting in Louisiana and many thousands of days, afield for the
state's sportsmen without damaging the continental population .
of the blue-winged" teal or any other waterfowl species,, and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and wildlife has
taken this action in total disregard of the views and "repeated
recommendations of the Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Louisiana Wild Life and
Fisheries Commission does hereby go oh record as vigorously
protesting the arbitrary action of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries
and Wildlife in closing the September teal hunting season in
Louisiana, thereby depriving the states' sportsmen ofmany
thousands of days of outdoor recreation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to Stewart Udall, Secretary, Department of the Interior,
John S. Gottschalk, Director, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife, and all members of the Louisiana Congressional Delegation
Hr. Yancey then explained that a letter dated July 1 & 1968,
was received from the Hew Orleans Sportsmen's League requesting
the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission to initiate
proceedings to have the State of Louisiana withdraw from the
Mississippi Flyway Council and that this bubject be placed on
the agenda for discussion. Mr. Yancey then stated that Mr. .Clint
Bridgeman, Chairman of the Waterfowl Committee of the Hew Orleans
Sportsmen* s League is present to express his views on the matter.
Mr. Bridgeman said in 1951, when Louisiana joined the .
Mississippi Flyway Council it was understood that the problems
dealing with the waterfowl seasons would soon be solved? however,
the problems have increased and Louisiana has waited too long
for their help. Mr. Bridgeman requested Mr. Dewese Kostmayer to
point out other factors and phases on the matter.
Mr; Kostmayer stated that recent news releases from Washington
indicates that the Mississippi Flyway is experiencing another
bad year for waterfowl. He said it was true that we do not know
for a fact if this is true, until our people see for themselves.
Mr. Kostmayer said that if this is any indication of the prediction
for the coining year, which are the same as we have received in
the past 17 years, Louisiana is going to come back from the .
Mississippi Flyway Council meeting empty handed»insofar as a
reasonable hunting season is concerned. He said the 0. S. Fish and
Wildlife service seem to have closed minds as to our opinions,
findings, and requests. While other states send delegates
unprepared to support their requests and they return with favorable
seasons for their respective states. Mr. Kostmayer cited this as
a reason why Louisiana is being,treated unjustly as our state's
representatives are more qualified and prepared with first hand
information, as well as considering the fact of Louisiana havinga more valuable area for hunters and, yet, they return year after
year empty handed. Mr. Kostmayer stated that it is the feeling
of many that Louisiana should deal directly with the U. S., Fish
and wildlife Service, as Louisiana has received little, if any,- ■ '"" . / - ' „ V - •
help from the Mississippi Flyway Council during the 17 years as
members. Mr. Kostmayer explained Louisiana has everything to gain
and nothing to loose by withdrawing from the Mississippi Flyway
Council.

Mr. Bernard C. Babble of the Little Lake Club of Lafltte,
Louisiana stated that he represents a club which has been Inactive
and just coming back into existence; however, the Little Lake Club
is one of the oldest groups in Louisiana. Mr. Hebbie reiterated
the Hew Orleans Sportsmen's League's sentiments on withdrawing
from the Mississippi Flyway Council Membership.
Mr. Bob LOckette is a captain and Vice-President of the
Motherland Gun Club which is presently known as the Cataouatchie
Club. Mr. Lockette said his club has existed since 1921, during
which years his club has spent a great deal of money to protect
their hunting lands, to abide by the laws and other costly provisionsi . ’
He stated that since 1957, Louisiana has fought for a September
Teal Season? however, he continued after receiving a three year
experimental September Teal hunting season, it has again been
taken away from Louisiana^ Mr. Lockette urged the Commission
to. continue to fight for our rights and withdraw from the Mississippi
Flyway Council.
Chairman Jones then recognized Mr. Thompson to comment on
the matter.
Mr. Thompson said, “I really don't know how to say what I
am thinking but really I guess what I am thinking is this.
If we get on the outside we certainly won't have any Way to know
what is happening on the inside. As someone in a meeting yesterday
said well we just getting a card and not being able to play them.
Well we won't even get a card if we are on the outside. I won't
oppose, 2, will not oppose the withdrawal from the Mississippi
Flyway council but I do want to make these comments that I think
that we have enough evidence that we possibly, understand what I
am saying, that we possibly would have the chance to get into the .
central flyway. Now I don’t have enough background on this and
1 don't even know if this is a reasonable possibility but i know
there is. little facts, mid basic information indicates we could
have, that possibility. - .1 really question whether we should get
out of the flyway knowing full well that we need to do something
to bring those beys to attention but wither this is exactly the
move Or not I don't know. So I would like to ask Mr. Chairman
that my vote be recorded as abstaining from voting. X wduld lite' * ■ . - > ' : ' : • • , •• \ '
to abstain from the vote on this morning.> ~
Mr^ Kyle then stated, would like to 'meOte--.a..motion-that we
withdraw. I have felt as these gentleman have for years that the
flyway council has done nothing, fbr us and I don! t feel that we
