Louisiana deer seasons, 2026-27

Louisiana’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 19, 2026 to February 15, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer area your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer area off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
