This post is to do with the Private property in Baptiste.
I am posting not to anger people but to simply inform and educate fellow sportsman to were the private/public lands are. So within the past few years we have had a growing problem with the trespassers/poachers on the private lands in Baptiste. One big reason the problem is growing is because many people believe the banks of Baptiste Collette is public land and this is not the case.
So to help guide folks heading down to Venice to hunt for the 2016-2017 season and years after there will be 'yellow' (or other colors that has not been removed) posted signs marking the boundaries of the land. These signs are not throughout the property they are in sections simply for guidance. With that being said keep in mind in Louisiana private lands do not need posted, no trespassing or any type of warning signs for you to be considered a trespasser, it is the responsibility of the hunter to know where he is and where he/she can/cannot be. There is also a partnership with the local enforcement agencies and trespassing will be strongly enforced.
