Licenses hunters need
All Louisiana deer hunters must have a basic hunting license and a deer license. Hunters under the age of 17 or younger are required to have a youth hunting license and deer tags.
Deer tags are required for all hunters. According to state wildlife officials, deer must be tagged before moving it from where it was killed, and information must be recorded and validated within 72 hours of the killing.
Ways to validate deer include using text-to-tag, through the LDWF web portal or LA Wallet or by calling the validation toll-free number.
