Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission Approves 2026-28 Hunting Regulation Notice of Intent
Baton Rouge, - The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC) approved a notice of intent (NOI) for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 hunting seasons, 2026-27 general and Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) hunting seasons and rules and regulations at its May meeting Thursday (May 7) 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 Register.
