The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission received the proposed duck hunting dates for the 2014-2015 season from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) at their monthly meeting.
The dates presented reflect another 60-day season for Louisiana hunters across the coastal, east and west zones.
The proposed dates and splits for the upcoming season are as follows:
Coastal Zone: Nov. 8 - 30; and Dec. 13 - Jan. 18; Youth Hunt Nov. 1 - 2.
East Zone: Nov. 22 - Dec 7; and Dec. 13 - Jan. 25; Youth Hunt Nov. 15 and Jan. 31.
West Zone: Nov. 15 - Dec. 14, and Dec. 20 - Jan. 18; Youth Hunt Nov. 8 and Jan. 24.
These proposed dates reflect preferences noted in past waterfowl hunter surveys conducted by the Department via mail-out and on-line survey forms. Final approval of season dates will be made at the August Commission meeting.
The 2014-15 duck season framework provides for a daily bag limit of six (6) and a possession limit of eighteen (18). Federal and state waterfowl stamps are required to hunt waterfowl.
