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.

Louisiana Supreme Court quashes arrest warrant for AG Liz Murrill
The Louisiana Supreme Court on Friday issued a stay of proceedings and recalled a pending arrest warrant against Attorney General (AG) Liz Murrill.
The 5-2 per curiam decision pointed out “disturbing defects” in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court’s procedure, namely the (1) failure to follow the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure and administer a grand jury in the public eye by reportedly arresting and removing reporters from the proceedings and (2) the impropriety of special prosecutor Laurie White’s involvement. Laurie White is the former attorney of an interested party against AG Murrill and is currently being represented by the AG’s office as a defendant in a separate sexual harassment suit.
One of the review standards for the court’s decision was whether AG Murrill, in her previous Emergency Motion to stay, made a strong showing that she was likely to succeed. The court found that there was “considerable support” for a positive view of AG Murrill’s chances.
Dissenting Justices C.J. Weimer and J. Guidry argued that the unevaluated allegations by AG Murrill should have precluded the court from intervening and implied that AG Murrill’s title was garnering special treatment. Justice J. Guidry made special note that AG Murrill’s predicament was no different than that of any other accused individual, and that the majority’s action “tilted” the “scales of justice” in her favor.
AG Murrill was indicted on Thursday on 16 felony counts of malfeasance and intimidation for eight letters that she sent to Orleans Parish leaders. The letters were sent on May 13 in response to the Orleans Parish leaders’ and AG Murrill’s diverging interpretations of Act 15, passed by Governor Jeff Landry. The act provides for one elected clerk of the parish of Orleans, effectively consolidating the civil and criminal clerk positions. With the understanding that Act 15 created a new position for the single clerk of Orleans Parish, the mayor encouraged the New Orleans City Council to appoint an interim clerk, Calvin Duncan, and begin a process for a special election. AG Murrill’s letters condemned this action and asserted that Act 15 abolished the criminal clerk’s office, making the previously elected civil clerk, Chelsea Richard Napoleon, the single Orleans Parish clerk. AG Murrill advised the leaders that the actions violated Louisiana’s usurper statutes and would be met with litigation and potential fines or imprisonment.
This threat of litigation was deemed an act of malfeasance and public intimidation. Malfeasance is committed when a public official fails to perform a lawful duty or performs a lawful duty in an unlawful manner. Public intimidation is committed when a person uses “violence, force, extortionate threats, or true threats … with the intent” to influence a public officer’s conduct.
Governor Jeff Landry defended AG Murrill, calling the indictment a “political witch hunt” against AG Murrill, who was “merely upholding the law.” Governor Landry has historically embraced a “tough on crime” approach, which can be seen as contrasting the downsizing of the criminal division. The act took effect just days before the elected Democratic exoneree Calvin Duncan was set to take office. Calvin Duncan was exonerated of a murder conviction in 2021 after evidence revealed police officers had lied about him. In light of this backstory, many Democrats see Act 15 as a political targeting of Democrats and Black officials. Republicans, however, including Governor Jeff Landry, argue that the consolidation will make the “local judicial system more efficient and cut costs.”
