Prior noticeCheck
permit conditions. As a matter of good practice, you should always
contact the manager of that particular state land unit before your
arrival. You want to be aware of the hunting seasons, and, of course
want to be sure that your activities will not interfere with the
activities of that park, wildlife management area, or other state land
unit, and that your activities will not interfere with public use of
the land.
Policies
Louisiana Revised Statutes, Title 56
§105. Special permits and licenses; scientific or purpose; bow licenses; beaver permit
A. The department may, in its discretion and upon such terms and
conditions as it may prescribe, issue to accredited representatives of
any public park, museum, educational or scientific institution, or of
the federal government or any state government, recognized scientist,
or to any other responsible person a permit to take, possess, and
transport at any time within and from this state wild birds or the
plumage, skins, nests, eggs, or young thereof and wild quadrupeds, the
skins or young thereof; if the department is satisfied that they are to
be taken or possessed for scientific, educational, experimental, or
breeding purposes only and are not to be sold or otherwise disposed of
by the permittee for profit, and if the permittee obligates himself to
deliver to the department within sixty days after taking, and in any
event before the removal thereof from the state, a detailed descriptive
inventory of the wild birds, wild quadrupeds, and other things taken
under the permit.
(The Louisiana wildlife regulations do not address permits for
scientific research for birds; the statute is the only source of
authority for the permit requirement).
