Thanks Bobby,
Every little bit helps.

According to a LDWF press release, House Bill 294 signed into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal as Act 95, makes it legal to hunt outlaw quadrupeds (armadillos, coyotes and feral hogs) and nuisance animals (nutria and beaver) at night on private property with any legal firearm. The law allows night hunting from March through August, but did not go into effect this year until Aug. 15.

We have had special permits for years to do this. But this is great. It will help all landowners help each other try to control these hogs. Everybody gets involved in this. The hogs are a
serious problem down here. Seems like you kill five or six, and twenty of them pop up. It's a never ending problem....

Good job Gov. Bob!!

When you did have the permitting requirement, was there an exemption for farms and land parcels greater then 25-50 acres? I thought most farmers were exempt and could shoot nuisance animals year-around.

...... a few years ago you could. They are always changing things.

shoot nuisance animals year-around.

..... and trust me, most farmer to go ahead and shoot.

I believe you are also required to have written landowner's permission if you hunt on others property or hunt in a hunting lease. Our lease is timber company land so we would need to get their permission. They also passed a law permitting you to hunt with suppressors (according to what I saw on the news), though I don't know all the specifics of that one (w/ or w/o permits, calibers, day or night). That one passed earlier this year. We trap em!

Most of the lease land around here, the timber companies want you to kill the hogs. So it isn't a problem. Always better to check though. Of course, one or two shots, and all the dang things disappear anyhow.
