MIGRATORY BIRDS
GEESE
CONSERVATION ORDER FOR LIGHT GEESE
Only snow, blue, and Ross’s geese may be taken under the terms of
the Conservation Order, which allows the use of electronic calls and
unplugged shotguns and eliminates the daily bag and possession
limits. During the Conservation Order, shooting hours begin one-
half hour before sunrise and extend until one-half hour after sunset.
* CANADA GOOSE SEASON
The Canada Goose season is open statewide EXCEPT for a portion of
southwest Louisiana:
BAND REPORTING
If you have found or harvested a banded bird, please report it at
www.reportband.gov. You’ll need the band number as well as
where, when, and how you recovered the bird. Your contact in-
formation will be requested in case there are any questions. The
U.S. Geological Survey’s Patuxent Bird Banding Lab (www.usgs.gov/
centers/pwrc/science/bird-banding-laboratory) will send you a cer-
tificate of appreciation that includes information about the sex, age
and species of the bird, and where and when it was banded. You
may keep the band. Please note: Even if the band you recover is
inscribed with a 1-800 telephone number, you can only report it at
www.reportband.gov.
Closed in the following area: Beginning at the Texas State Line,
proceeding east along Hwy 82 to the Calcasieu Ship Channel,
then north along the Calcasieu Ship Channel to its junction with
the Intracoastal Canal, then east along the Intracoastal Canal to its
juncture with LA Hwy 82, then south along LA Hwy 82 to its junc-
ture with Parish Road 3147, then south and east along Parish Road
3147 to Freshwater Bayou Canal, then south to the Gulf of America,
then west along the shoreline of the Gulf of America to the Texas
State Line, then north to the point of beginning at LA Hwy 82. Open
waters of Lake Arthur and the Mermentau River, from the Hwy 14
bridge southward, will also be closed to Canada goose hunting.
If some or all of the numbers have worn off, making the band un-
readable, please email bandreports@usgs.gov or visit www.usgs.
gov/centers/pwrc/science/bird-banding-laboratory for information
on how to send the band for chemical etching. Most bands can be
chemically etched so that the numbers can be read. The process
does not destroy the band, and it will be returned to you. Thank you
for helping manage migratory birds.
