But self-clearing permits available at entrance road kiosks still necessary, LDWF says
U.S. Army officials announced the federal permit previously required to hunt on Fort Polk and Peason Ridge Wildlife Management Areas are no longer required, according to a press release from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
However, archery and small game hunters using the Cantonment Area within the Army installation are advised that proper visitor passes are required to enter the security gates, the release states.
Louisiana hunting licenses are still required to hunt on federal properties, including the $15 annual WMA hunting permit, the release states.
In addition, all users of Fort Polk and Peason Ridge are reminded that they must still fill out a self-clearing permit, available in information kiosks at most WMA entrance roads, for all activities.
Fort Polk and Peason Ridge WMAs provide more than 138,000 acres for public recreation activities through a cooperative partnership between the U.S. Army, the state and the U.S. Forest Service, the release states.
