The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announces the start of the 2024-25 deer hunting season on Saturday, September 21. This season is especially anticipated as harvest numbers have been increasing statewide, with last year seeing the highest reported yield since 2008, driven by hunters’ relative success in recent years.
Hunters in areas 3, 7, 8, and 10 will initially participate in archery season, while stricter regulations apply to Areas 4 and 10 due to slower herd recovery. To ensure a successful outing, hunters must be aware of the necessary deer tags, licenses, and regulations, which the LDWF outlines on its website. For detailed guidance on where to hunt and how to prepare, including access to a deer breeding map, interested hunters are encouraged to visit the official site.
