1. RESPONSIBILITIES

1.1. It is the policy of BAFB to provide public access for outdoor recreational activities and

the harvest of fish and wildlife when compatible with the military mission and natural

resource management objectives. Natural resource managers work with the 2d Force Support

Squadron (FSS) and other offices in the development of outdoor recreation areas. Outdoor

recreation activities are integrated with the mission through a planning process that is

coordinated with BAFB leadership.

1.2. The issuance of fishing, hunting, and other consumptive use permits and administering

of funds derived from the sale of these permits will be the responsibility of the base civil

engineer. The commander, 2d Security Force Squadron (SFS) and the base civil engineer

will jointly coordinate law enforcement and Civil Engineering Squadron (CES)

responsibilities for the protection of fish, wildlife, their habitats, and related natural

resources.

1.3. All persons, civilian and military, will comply with the provisions of this regulation and

applicable federal land state laws at http://www.wlf.state.la.us pertaining to the use of

natural resources, hunting, and fishing. State hunting and fishing regulations are applicable

on BAFB for items not specifically covered in this instruction. BAFB hunting and fishing

regulations have precedence over state regulations.

1.4. The right to enter BAFB or any BAFB permit may be revoked at any time by the 2d

Bomb Wing Commander (2 BW/CC) or designated representatives, for violation of BAFB

regulations, federal or state law, or for any reason deemed necessary or advantageous to the

United States Air Force.

1.5. All persons are responsible for using their personal vehicles safely, protecting fish and

wildlife habitats, and picking up their litter before departing. Any person found littering or

willfully damaging a natural or related resource will be subject to suspension of privileges

and to prosecution under appropriate federal, state, or military laws. Appropriate decisions

of disposition will be made by SFS game wardens, Natural Resources personnel, federal

agents, or state wildlife officers after coordination with the mission support group

commander.

1.6. Any person engaging in outdoor activities on BAFB does so at their own risk, and

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the United States of America against any and all

claims for loss, damage, or injury sustained to their person or property. Louisiana

Recreational Use Statute La. R.S. 9:2791 applies to this instruction.

1.7. The natural resources manager may amend this instruction with written approval of the

asset management flight chief and base civil engineer. This item facilitates the use of

8. DEER STANDS AND DUCK BLINDS

8.1. Deer stand and duck blind registrations begin the first duty day in September. Any

person registering a deer stand or placing a temporary deer stand must first purchase a

current BAFB basic season hunting permit. The construction or placing of deer stands and

duck blinds requires advance approval from the natural resources manager. With the

exception of archery deer stands (reference paragraph 8.8), no stand or blind may be placed

until the location is registered. The previous year’s registered duck blinds and deer stands

may be reregistered from the first duty day through the ninth duty day in September. New

stands and blinds may not be registered until the 10th duty day in September. The last day

for deer stand and duck blind registration is 15 November. No registered stand or blind

location may be moved after 15 November. A physical structure, stand, or blind may be

moved between registered stand or blind locations during non-firearm days. Only portable

stands or blinds, that are hand transportable by a single hunter, may be moved on a firearm

hunt day. A portable stand not placed at a registered stand location must be removed at the

end of each hunting day. The natural resources manager may deny a stand location or move

based on safety or other reasons.

8.2. For purposes of this instruction, deer stand and duck blind registration provides the

registrant or dependents and guests of the registrant the first right to hunt a specific area. A

hunting guest is not authorized stand registration or unescorted hunting privileges and must

be accompanied by a DoD personnel sponsor. While most people place a physical structure

at the registered hunting location, the placement of a permanent physical structure, a stand, or

blind, at the registered location is not required. Stand locations or blinds not being used on a

given day by the registrant, or their guests or dependents, are available to other hunters on a

first-come, first-serve basis. A person who hunts from another person’s registered stand,

blind, or location must immediately leave the registered area when asked to do so by the

registrant or dependent or guest of the registrant.


8.3. Hunters who have registered deer stand locations may lock only one deer stand. This

stand will be designated as the registrants “A” stand. All other deer stands may not be

locked. This does not grant the registrant sole rights to that area. Other hunters may still

hunt the location in accordance with the first-come first-serve policy (Para. 8.2).

8.4. Waterfowl blinds will not be locked

8.5. Falsely claiming rights to hunt a given stand or blind is prohibited.

8.6. Any person, stand owner or not, that hunts in a stand or blind and leaves trash or litter

inside or adjacent to the stand is subject to citation.

rifle days. Suspensions shall include all archery and primitive firearm hunt days until the end

of the suspension. The following rules supersede any previous guidance.

hunter suspended for 10 rifle days may not hunt deer on Barksdale until 10 rifle days have

passed, not including the day of the violation. (Example, if hunter harvests an illegal buck on

the first rifle day. The hunter would be suspended from all deer hunting until the 12th rifle

day.) If a hunter harvests an illegal buck near the end of the season, the suspension will carry

may be bucks. Button bucks will count toward your season limit of two bucks.. Limits are

subject to change by BNR manager as required for management purposes. Any limit change

will be posted at BNR. Antlered deer harvested on Barksdale count towards the legal state

limit of deer.

12.10. A hunter shall not harvest more than two button bucks in a season. If a hunter

harvests a button buck after having already harvested their limit of two button bucks, the

hunter may be suspended for up to 10 rifle days. If a hunter harvests more than one (1)

button buck in the same day, the hunter will be suspended for 5 rifle days for the first

offense.

state issued deer or turkey tags and have these in possession when hunting deer or turkey.

Immediately upon harvesting an antlered deer or turkey, the hunter must attach a carcass tag

to the animal before it is moved from the kill site. Important note: Antlerless deer do not

need to be tagged by the hunter. Louisiana issues BNR tags for these deer which will be

affixed to the carcass when the deer hunter checks out.

25.1. Anyone who violates any of the provisions of this instruction, or any acts inconsistent

with good safety practices, or which results in injury or damage to persons or property, may

have any hunting, fishing, and/or other outdoor recreation privileges withdrawn. This action

will be taken independently of other punitive and administrative action. Persons who are

apprehended for violating BAFB, state or federal fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation

regulations and laws may be subject to debarment from BAFB, permanent revocation of

privileges, suspension of fishing, hunting or outdoor recreational privileges, federal judicial

action, court fines, and other nonjudicial or administrative action.

25.2. Letters of suspension for violations will be initiated by 2 SFS Game Warden, except as

stated in paragraph 12.13. Suspension or revocation letters are issued under 2 MSG/CC

authority. All letters are coordinated through 2d BW Legal Office any time changes are

required.

25.3. An enforcement matrix that lists specific violations and suspensions is attached (See

Attachment 2). A suspension may be issued for one specific recreation activity, several

activities or all recreation activities. The 2 BW/CC or his designee may restrict the violator

from access to the east reservation and BAFB.

25.4. Sponsors are responsible for the action of their guests and dependents. Violation of

laws and regulations by a dependent or by a guest may result in penalties or privilege

suspension for the sponsor as well as the offender.

25.5. Appeal Procedure. Individuals may appeal citations and request an informal hearing

with the 2 MSG/CC. An appeal or hearing request must be submitted in writing within 7

days from the date of citation. The completed appeal must be endorsed by the person’s unit

commander and delivered to the Natural Resource Manager, 6141 Range Road, Barksdale

AFB, LA 71110. The Natural Resources Manager will compile supporting data and deliver

the appeal to 2 SFS Reports and Analysis, 425 Lindbergh Ave, Barksdale AFB, LA 71110-

2927.

25.5.1. The 2 MSG/CC is the final decision authority on any appeals. The 2 MSG

Deputy Commander (MSG/CD) or his or her designee may conduct an administrative

hearing and act on all matters relating to suspension or revocation of base privileges upon

request. The 2 MSG/CD will use the "preponderance of the evidence" standard for

making factual determinations.

25.6. The following records will be prepared by 2 SFS Game Wardens and maintained by

Security Forces Reports and Analysis:

25.6.1. A list of individuals who have received a citation for any violations of this

instruction. Information to be included is the violator’s name, the type of

violation, the date of the citation, and the type of citation.

25.6.2. A list of individuals whose privileges have been suspended. The list will include

the names, violations, dates of suspensions, and the dates of reinstatement of

privileges.

25.6.3. A written report will be filed on all individuals apprehended or detained by law

Certain violations must be reported to the 2 MSG/CC. The commander determines the

appropriate action or recommends disposition if criminal enforcement is required.

25.7. Illegally taken fish or wildlife will be confiscated. Security forces personnel will

maintain accountability of confiscated animals, fish, and game. Animals, fish, and game that

are unharmed will be released. Game Wardens will donate other fish and game to charity if

in acceptable condition and not required to be stored for evidence.

25.8. Any person who violates any rule within this regulation within (3) three years of

resumption of privileges from a previous violation shall face a minimum of a three (3) year

suspension. If either of the violations were a safety violation, then the suspension will be

five (5) years. Persons violating two or more different rules shall have their suspensions for

each offense run consecutively.

VIOLATION CLASS:

Class I: Individuals cited for an offense within this class will receive a three (3) year

suspension.

Class II: Individuals cited for an offense within this class will receive a two (2) year

suspension.

Class III: Individuals cited for an offense within this class will receive a one (1) year

suspension.

Class IV: Individuals cited for an offense within this class will receive a six (6) month

suspension.

NOTE: This violation matrix is designed to serve as a general guide for enforcement personnel.

When determining the length of suspension for minor infractions, consider that in some instances

a written warning may be as effective as a suspension in altering behavior while at the same time

protecting the resource and promoting recreational activities. Among the many factors to

consider is whether the individual has had multiple offenses. The enforcement officer must have

the flexibility to recommend an appropriate action based upon his or her knowledge of the case.

As with all violations, an appropriate penalty can only be determined once the specific facts of

the case are known. The 2d Mission Support Group Commander may increase suspension above

the maximum suspension listed herein for more serious or repeat violations.

(1) Anyone cited for this offense will receive an immediate 30-day suspension. Offender has 7

days to provide proof of prior license/permit purchase /or proof of registration to BNR. If proof


is provided, suspension automatically expires after 30 days. If offender does not provide proof

of correction, suspension will remain effective until later date.

(2) In addition to a suspension of privileges, civilians may be issued a citation for violating

Federal regulations for migratory game birds.

(3) Sponsors who fail to ensure their guests or dependents comply with base hunting and fishing

regulations may be subject to suspension or revocation of base hunting and/or fishing privileges.

(4) Required to attend a Louisiana State Hunter Education Course prior to admittance back onto

the east reservation for recreational purposes; regardless if previously taken or not. Proof of

course completion must be shown prior to reinstatement of recreational privileges.
