The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is cautioning all hunters to stay home, stay off the roads, and to not access any Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) at this time due to the hazards presented by the winter storm.

The Department understands that with this unprecedented snow, many outdoorsmen will want to go to their blind or stand to hunt, but the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division has already had to make several search and rescues. Therefore, for your safety and for that of others, LDWF asks that all hunters stay home, stay in their camp, stay off the roads, and avoid traveling to any WMAs.

Please monitor the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) and your local governments for the latest on road closures, incidents, and other alerts. Download the Get A Game Plan App for up to date information on Louisiana’s emergency management efforts.
