cajunhunta,
I got on the lease in Laplace because my brother in law was on it. Also forked over a lot of money. It is very tough to get on that lease, they try to keep the number of hunters to a minimum. But you can try to get on a lease in Lutcher, Reserve, Garyville, etc. just start asking around. I think the Reserve lease has a lot of members, maybe they wouldn't mind takin in one more person. Never hurts to try. Good Luck.
