Change in Deer Tagging Procedure for 2011-2012 Hunting Season
Deer hunters will have 7 days to validate their harvested deer using the toll free validation phone number 866-484-4805 or the web link: https://www1.la.wildlifelicense.com/start.php
Hunters will not be required to record a validation number on their hunting license and that space is to be left blank on the hunter’s license.
NOTE: Deer hunters are still required to fill in the month and date that each deer is harvested and the parish in which the deer was taken.
