Jam-packed Louisiana Sportsman October issue heads to printer

Hunting, fishing seasons and regulations available on 24-hour hotline, LDWF says.

Bow season opens for most of the state in just two weeks, and the October issue of Louisiana Sportsman tells you exactly where you want to be that day.

The magazine is on its way to the printer today (Sept. 15), and will be in mailboxes and on newsstands beginning next week.
