RedactedNarrative: On 9/11/2015, I, LDWF Sr. Agent and Lt. was on patrol north of LA Hwy 4 on Boeuf Wildlife Management Area in Caldwell Parish. Contact was made with operator who stated that at approximately 4:15 p.m. he was operating a 17' EXCEL boat with an outboard surface drive motor. Operator had two passengers onboard. Operator stated that he was traveling in open water when he decided to go through a gap in a small line of trees. Operator stated that as he attempted to go through the gap in the tree line, he hit a patch of dry land approximately 3 ft long and 1 ft high that was covered with vegetation. Operator stated that when the boat hit the patch of dry land, it threw Occupant up in the air and he broke his right wrist when he landed on the gun box that he was sitting on. Contact was made with Occupant approximately a quarter mile up the levee. We transported Occupant a short distance to a parking lot on the WMA where his father met us to take him to Glenwood Hospital in West Monroe. There were no other injuries and no damage to the boat. Operator stated that they were all not wearing PFD's.
