- How do I obtain Hunter Education certification if there are no classes scheduled near where I live?
You Can
* Take the course on-line

- How long does it take to complete a Hunter Education certification class?

- How long does it take to complete a Hunter Education certification course on-line or using the CD-Rom course?
The time required to complete either of the take-at-home options varies from student to student. Students are given 6 hours of credit for either method of home study, but must additionally attend a "field day" at a location nearby. The field day requirements of 4 hours includes hands-on activities, course review, live fire exercises, and a test. All supplies, including firearms used during the "field day" are supplied by LDWF.
- Are non-residents with hunting licenses from other states allowed to obtain a DLH permit?
YES, but you must have Hunter Education certification. Your Hunter Ed number, issued by your home state, will be needed to obtain a valid DLH permit. The DLH permit is a one-time-only offer and you would be required to obtain the standard non-resident hunting license for deer, rabbit, squirrel or quail for your next hunting trip to Louisiana.
- If I am a licensed hunter from another state, and I obtain a DLH permit, am I still required to hunt with a host-hunter?
YES. The rules of the DLH weekend apply to anyone who carries a DLH permit. Your host-hunter can be a paid guide, relative or acquaintance. Your host hunter must be a currently (Louisiana) licensed hunter.
- I am a resident, Senior hunter who turned 60 before June 1, 2000 - when the Resident Senior Hunt/Fish license became a requirement. I do not have to carry a license when hunting. Can I be a host hunter?
You can be a host hunter but you will be required to purchase the $5 Resident Senior Hunt/Fish license. Your Resident Senior Hunt/Fish license I.D. number is required for any DLH permit application on which you are designated as the host hunter.
- I was born in Louisiana before September 1, 1969 and am not required to have Hunter Education certification to buy a license. I have not hunted in years and would like to hunt on the DLH weekend of Nov. 23-25. Can I apply for a DLH permit?
To participate in this special hunting weekend, you are required to obtain Hunter Education certification before you apply for a DLH permit.
- I have a Louisiana Lifetime License but do not have a LDWF ID # on the license. How can I get my LDWF ID # so a DLH permit applicant can list me as the host hunter?
Contact the LDWF's Sports Licensing Section at 225-765-2887 or send an e-mail request to jlandry@wlf.louisiana.gov and ask for your LDWF ID #.
- Is there an age restriction for host-hunters?
YES. Host-hunters must be 18 years of age or older.

The DLH permitted hunter is not required to carry any additional hunting permits while hunting on state-owned Wildlife Management Areas on DLH weekend. The host hunter accompanying the DLH permitted hunter must have a lifetime license, senior license, sportsmans paradise license or a WMA Hunting Permit, as he/she would normally be required to carry, when hunting on a state-owned Wildlife Management Area. Additionally, any permits normally required by law for licensed hunters, must be carried by the host hunter on state-owned land.
- Are any additional permits required to hunt on privately owned land on DLH weekend?
YES, in certain cases. When taking antlerless deer on private lands enrolled in the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) or Landowner Antlerless Deer Tag Program (LADT), all hunters are required to have an antlerless deer tag in their possession in order to harvest antlerless deer. The DMAP or LADT tag may be obtained from the cooperator for the enrolled land.

All rules and regulations, as established by the federal agency managing those lands, will apply. For more information, go to www.fws.gov/southeast/.
- Can a licensed Louisiana hunter be a host hunter for more than one DLH-permitted hunter?
The host hunter may not act as host for more than one DLH permit holder per day.
- Will I need deer tags when hunting during DLH weekend as a DLH-permitted hunter?
As a DLH-permitted hunter, you will not be able to obtain and will not need the vendor-issued deer tags that will be required for all Louisiana licensed deer hunters during the 2007-08 season. You will be required to carry however, an L.D.W.F. DEER TAG HARVEST CARD* and an L.D.W.F. POSSESSION TAG FOR RESIDENT GAME*. The Possession Tag is to be filled out with information requested and attached to the deer at the time of harvest. The Deer Tag Harvest Card must be completed for all deer you take during DLH weekend and mailed in the following week to: LDWF Deer Program, P.O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA 70898. Both documents can be downloaded for printing by clicking on the links for each above (*). If you cannot download and print these documents, call the L.D.W.F. Wildlife Division in Baton Rouge at 225-765-2346 and request that these be mailed to you. NOTE: You will not need either of these documents if you are not hunting deer during DLH weekend.
