DLH2007 | Discover Louisiana Hunting 2007

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will provide the opportunity for any currently unlicensed adult (16 years of age or older) to experience recreational hunting in the Sportsman's Paradise during Discover Louisiana Hunting weekend on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday following Thanksgiving day.

LDWF invites you to enjoy the outdoors through hunting, to learn gun and hunter safety, and to foster an appreciation for the conservation and habitat management mission served by the Department.

Louisiana residents and non-residents are eligible. You can be a first-time hunter or someone simply wishing to try the sport again.

This special promotional weekend is a once-in-a-lifetime offer from LDWF, acting with approval of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission. Once you have taken advantage of a Discover Louisiana Hunting (DLH) weekend, you must obtain the appropriate licenses and permits for any future hunting trips.

Anyone currently under a suspension or revocation of hunting privileges is not eligible.

NOTICE: Deer tagging instructions for DLH hunters

DLH hunters will tag both antlered bucks and antlerless deer with an L.D.W.F. Possession Tag prior to moving the carcass from the field. DLH hunters will also document the harvest on the L.D.W.F. Deer Tag Harvest Card. If hunting on DMAP/LADT lands, DLH hunters will tag antlerless deer with the DMAP/LADT tags provided by the program participant and will use an L.D.W.F. Possession Tag to tag an antlered buck; hunters will document the harvest on the DMAP/LADT data sheets and on their L.D.W.F. Deer Tag Harvest Card. At the end of the three days, DLH hunters must send their Deer Tag Harvest Card to: Deer Program, L.D.W.F., P. O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA, 70898.
