LWFC approves 2025-27 hunting regulation notice of intent

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC) approved a notice of intent (NOI) for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 hunting seasons, 2025-26 general and Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) hunting seasons and rules and regulations at its May meeting on May 1 in Baton Rouge.

The approved NOI included several amendments adopted during the NOI process, which began in January.

The NOI will now be sent to Legislative Oversight for review. If the Legislative Oversight committee finds the NOI to be acceptable the LDWF Secretary will finalize the Rule and it will be published in the State Registry.
