To Whom It May Concern:
I, ________________________________________ would like to officially appeal the decision by Regional Forester Elizabeth Agpaoa to prohibit the use of dogs to hunt deer on the entire Kisatchie National Forest.
Hunting deer with dogs is a long time tradition in Louisiana and I support keeping our heritage intact. I believe the hunting regulations on Kisatchie National Forest should coincide with the regulations of the Louisiana State Wildlife & Fisheries Department. The LA Wildlife & Fisheries Commission is in favor of this and are willing to make a recommendation to the state to consider this.
