Hunting, fishing seasons and regulations available on 24-hour hotline, LDWF says.
Regulations and season dates are now available 24 hours a day by simply calling a toll-free number, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced.
The number is 800.256.2749, and will provide the most-up-to-date information on season dates and regulations, the LDWF said.
“The department anticipates the most useful feature of the hotline will be for those looking for season dates after our normal operating hours and on weekends,” LDWF’s Lt. Col. Jeff Mayne said. “This hotline provides another tool the public can use to find out about newly set seasons in addition to our Web site and other publications.”
After calling the hotline, callers will follow prompts to access the information they are seeking.
Hunting and fishing dates will be available through the hotline for the following seasons: shrimp, deer, squirrel, rabbit, migratory game birds, turkey, quail, recreational finfish and commercial finfish.
The hotline also will feature boating safety, wildlife management area and hunter safety information, as well as contact information for regional LDWF offices.
