Deer tag harvest cards now available on-line

The new deer tag harvest cards for the 2006-07 deer hunting season can now be downloaded and printed from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Web site.

The web address is www.wlf.louisiana.gov. 

Prior to hunting deer for the 2006/07 season, all deer hunters, including DMAP and LADT hunters, regardless of age or license status, must obtain a deer tag harvest card and have it in his or her possession when hunting deer.

Immediately upon harvesting a deer, the hunter must document the kill on the harvest card.  DMAP and LADT hunters must still attach DMAP or LADT metal hock tags to harvested deer.

At the end of the season, each hunter must file a deer harvest report with LDWF, even if no deer was harvested. Hunters do not need to send in separate harvest cards immediately after each deer is killed, because there are enough spaces on the card to document the full six-deer season limit.

The cards are also available in hunting pamphlets, at license vendors, and at LDWF regional offices.
