Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 11: April, 1959 Such things as these and many others have taught our people that our game agents are not merely cops. Rather, that they are an integral and important part of our community. They are our public relations men who would rather lead us in the conservation movement, through education and example, than drive us with the might and authority of the law. As another example, today Louisiana is enjoying a return to the days of its once bountiful shrimp harvest. Scientists of the commission set a closed season last year, with the backing of the Legislature, and this closed season was rigidly enforced by the agents of the commission. There were many arrests during the initial days of the new Shrimp law, and a great deal of ill feeling, yet I would venture to say that none who have reaped of this season's harvest have an ill word to say today of our enforcement agents.
