Louisiana Sportsman Show will be held March 1-3 in Baton Rouge
The 44th annual Louisiana Sportsman Show, produced by Boutte-based Louisiana Sportsman magazine and presented by Shell, will be held at the Raising Cane’s River Center in Baton Rouge from March 1-3.
“The Louisiana Sportsman Show gives us an opportunity to promote something that is special to this state,” Rochelle Touchard, Shell Corporate Relations, said. “Many of our more than 3,000 Shell Louisiana employees are outdoor enthusiasts. Hunting, fishing, and water sports are a deep and embedded part of our culture. It’s a great opportunity for Shell to connect with the communities in which we operate.”
“America’s Favorite Fisherman” Jimmy Houston, will be on hand Sunday, March 3. The Shell Rotella Bass Boat will also be on display at the show all weekend.
The St. Charles Parish-based Wetlands Watchers will be back again this year after a highly successful debut last year. The Wetland Watchers bring an opportunity to touch and learn about animals native to Louisiana. The students invite young and old alike to hold baby alligators and learn more about preserving the fragile Louisiana ecosystem. You can visit with the Wetland Watchers on March 2 from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
There will be lots of other special events and treats at this year’s show. Show times are Friday 12-7, Saturday 9-7, and Sunday 9-4. There will be a huge array of fishing and hunting gear, boats, tractors, golf carts, ATVs, and much more.
The Hawg Trough, America’s No. 1 Pro fishing attraction, will be at the show with its 4,000-gallon tank full of fish and fishing demonstrations will be scheduled throughout the show. And it won’t be just for fishing instruction. Legendary Cajun duck call maker and hunter Dale Bordelon will have a booth at the show this year and will give duck calling demonstrations at the tank. He’ll also be displaying his handmade cypress dugout canoe, handmade cypress duck decoys and handmade cane calls — showing that keeping it old school is cool.
The annual Big Buck Contest, sponsored by Louisiana Land Bank, is also back. This year the categories are Best Louisiana Gun, Best Louisiana Bow, Best Out-of-State Gun, Best Out-of-State Bow, Best Muzzleloader/Black Powder and Best Youth. All bucks will be officially scored. All entrants can also send in a high-quality photo with their buck for a chance to be on the cover of the Louisiana Sportsman magazine in the fall of 2024.
There will be a 24-foot, 4-person, Rock Wall for the kids to climb.
The Baton Rouge Zydeco Ice Hockey Team will kick off their spring season Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7 p.m. immediately following the Sportsman Show. Everyone who comes to the Louisiana Sportsman Show will get $3 off a ticket to the hockey games that weekend.

BATON ROUGE (KNOE) – Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming is accusing Governor Jeff Landry of interfering with the state Senate race, which Fleming is a part of.
Fleming took to social media to accuse Landry of working “behind the scenes” to get Congresswoman Julia Letlow elected to the Senate.
According to Fleming, Dr. Ralph Abraham offered him the position of Deputy Director of the CDC shortly before announcing he was stepping down. Fleming said he politely declined.
A week later, news broke that Abraham is now leading Letlow’s Senate campaign.
“We know that Jeff has been heavily lobbying the Trump campaign team for the endorsement, he is pressuring the Republican Party of Louisiana and the Republican Executive Committees to support and endorse Letlow as well,” Fleming wrote on Facebook. “And, he is personally calling his donors to raise big money to save the Letlow campaign.
Landry formally endorsed Letlow for the U.S. Senate on March 4. Letlow also has the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
“We need a warrior who stands with the President to Make America Great. And there’s no greater warrior than a Louisiana mom,” Landry wrote on Facebook.
Fleming continued his commentary, asking when Landry will stop interfering with the state’s Senate race.
“Who is best to decide who represents you in Washington? Jeff Landry, or YOU?” Fleming asked.
Also in the heated race is incumbent Bill Cassidy, M.D.
Party primary elections in Louisiana are set for May 16, 2026.

Brother of Louisiana mayor accused of raping 16-year-old has a hauntingly similar criminal past
The brother of Louisiana mayor Misty Roberts — accused of raping her son’s teenage friend — is facing child sex crimes of his own.
Brandon Lee Roberts, 39, was accused of raping a teen girl and assaulting a young woman over the course of several years, KALB reported.
The alleged sexual abuse began when one of the victims was as young as 13, according to Beauregard Parish Sheriff Mark Herford.
He was arrested in October.
That comes years after his big sister – ex-mayor of DeRidder, 43-year-old Misty Roberts – allegedly got hot and heavy with her son’s 16-year-old friend at a drunken party at their home.
Roberts was allegedly caught in the tryst by her own kids.
She was arrested months later, and is currently on trial for rape charges.
