    The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) would like to remind all visitors to LDWF shooting ranges and education facilities that they must possess one of the following:

    • WMA access permit
    • Sportsman’s Paradise license
    • Lifetime hunting or fishing license
    • Senior License
    • Any license that confers the equivalent of a WMA Access permit
    Anyone 17 years old and younger is exempt from this requirement.

    If your kids have a lifetime license they do not also need the $5 youth license, "Youth who hold Lifetime Hunting License or a Lifetime Combo License are not required to purchase the $5 annual license mentioned above to obtain deer and turkey tags mentioned above. They are, however, still required to use deer and turkey tags."

    While I don't like additional fees/taxes, it does cost money to manage these camping areas and ranges and everything is getting more expensive (think restrooms, porta-cans, lawncare, trash pickup, etc. ) I think they could have avoided some of these increases by actually enforcing existing regulations and fining people. I find it hard to believe all of the lost-looking hipster hikers I've seen roaming WMAs actually went out and purchased a WMA permit. Many stories from people having hikers in the woods when WMAs are open only to lottery hunt winners and nothing being done about it.

    I must have read the new rule book wrong and didn’t have my attorney dumb it down for me lol , u less it changed and I didn’t notice it

    The WMA’s I stay it in Venice barely have cut grass, and the amount of money they get in tickets should be more than enough to pay them fees…

    LDWF doesn't receive the money from violations. It goes to the Parish where the violation took place.

    Don't forget having to use stupid ass steel shot for doves and rabbits on certain mangment areas and leases! Ever shoot low brass 7.5 shot steel? It goes about 15 yards at best! I quit dove hunting because of this BS! Hunting and Fishing is for Rich people in this country now. Just like it is in Europe.
