Louisiana Deer Hunters Could Have Individual Limit Options Next Season

A new plan outlined by state biologists to the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission would take one of the three tags allocated to a buck and convert it for use on a buck or a doe starting in the 2012-13 season. The move gives hunters the option of taking as many as four does each season, which would restrict his or her take of bucks to two per season. The hunter could use the “choice tag” to take a third buck. The overall season limit of six whitetail deer will not change.—courtesy The Republic
