2017 - 2018 Louisiana Hunting Season
This year's hunting season is upon us. So, don't forget to get your "Big Buck" ticket this year. You may win the $1,000 first place prize. Remember, last year a father andn son team from Spearsville took the first place title. Don't let that happen this year. Union Parish has led all other Parishes in the number of deer harvested each year for the past seven years. The hunters of Union Parish have a great reputation for sportsmanship and family outdoor adventures in hunting. We are blessed to have such a wonderful Parish with tremendous resources to share with family, friends and guests from other parts of the State and from other States. There is one thing that really concerns many of those that do not understand the great outdoor sportsmen and it is also a concern for many of us that do hunt in Union Parish. We can begin this year in addressing the number one concern with those who watch what we do as hunters. The major complaint across the Parish is the number of corn sacks that are seen lying in the ditches along all our roads and highways. As a true sportsman we need to lead by example. We ask you this year to make a special attempt to secure your corn sacks in your vehicle until you can get to a dumpster or back to camp where it can be disposed of in a proper way. Also while hunting this year, please take the time between hunts or when traveling to and from your camp to pick up any corn sack or other hunting related litter and help dispose of it properly. This will be a great help in the litter problem of Union Parish as well as set a great example of how conservative and attentive you are in helping keep Union Parish beautiful. Trust me, this has continued to be a major topic among many in Union Parish. Many of us that do hunt every year are constantly picking up litter around the areas where we hunt. It is the sportsman thing to do. So please secure your corn sack in your vehicle until you can dispose of it properly. The Chamber of Commerce thanks you as sportsmen of Union Parish and all that you do to make hunting a family related event each year. We look forward to seeing all of you at the Sportsman's Banquet this year. Make this a safe and enjoyable hunt and please take a young person hunting this year. Teach them to respect our wildlife and to be good conservationist for Union Parish and the State of Louisiana.

THE HUNTER'S PLEDGE
Responsible hunting provides unique challenges and rewards. However, the future of the sport depends on each hunter's behavior and ethics. Therefore, as a hunter, I pledge to: • Respect the environment and wildlife. • Respect property and landowners. • Show consideration for non-hunters. • Hunt safely. • Know and obey the law. • Support wildlife and habitat conservation. • Pass on an ethical hunting tradition. • Strive to improve my outdoor skills and understanding of wildlife. • Hunt only with ethical hunters. By following these principles of conduct each time I go afield, I will give my best to the sport, the public, the environment and myself. The responsibility to hunt ethically is mine; the future of hunting depends on me. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
