Louisiana hunting regulations you can check
The state publishes its hunting rules as a 80-page pamphlet. We read it, pulled out every season, limit, area and fee, and put the printed page next to each one so you can go look it up yourself.
Not the lawThese pages reproduce summary material from LDWF pamphlets. The controlling authority is Louisiana Administrative Code Title 76 together with any Declaration of Emergency in effect. Verify with LDWF before acting on it.

Where this comes from
Six documents, fetched straight from LDWF and checked daily. "Content changed" is when the document itself last changed. "Checked" is when we last confirmed that. They are not the same thing, and conflating them is how a regulations site goes quietly stale.
