The 2025-2026 Louisiana duck hunting season is set to begin this month, marked by a youth-only hunting weekend on November 8 and 9 in the West Zone. Regular season hunters can participate starting November 15 in the West Zone, while the East Zone opens with youth and veterans hunts on the same dates followed by the regular season beginning November 22.
Hunters must be aware of specific licensing requirements, including the need for a Federal Duck Stamp for those aged 16 and older. With numerous Wildlife Management Areas available for duck hunting, locations such as Pass-a-Loutre WMA and Atchafalaya Delta WMA are popular choices for enthusiasts.
