🦆 That’s a wrap on Louisiana’s first-ever experimental black-bellied whistling duck season! We would like to thank all hunters who participated and want to remind waterfowl hunters who participated to report both harvest and effort.
This special season would not have been possible without the leadership of
@govjefflandry Jeff Landry and@usfws and Wildlife Service.
Because this was an experimental season, it was important that hunters only shot BBWD, and based on LDWF’s observations, hunters showed overwhelming compliance with shooting only this target species. By being good stewards in your participation out in the field, you helped to make this season a historic success.
📢 Hunted or not, if you obtained a permit, you must report your harvest and effort by Oct. 26 to remain eligible for next year’s permit.
✅ Report your harvest at the LINK IN BIO!
