BATON ROUGE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is advising hunters to call a local LDWF field office when problems are encountered with the phone-in, deer tag validation process.
Some hunters have experienced difficulty with the voice recognition system linked to the toll-free phone number 866-484-4805 that collects information on harvested deer and validates the individual's deer tag, the final step in reporting harvest data to LDWF.
Wildlife Division staff at field offices around the state will accept and record tag validation information (date and parish of harvest) from hunters to complete the process as needed. Hunters having difficulty are encouraged to call the field offices during normal work hours for personal assistance with validating their harvest. LDWF field offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays, in the following locations:
Monroe ph. 318-343-4044 Minden ph. 318-371-3050 Pineville ph. 318-487-5885 Lake Charles ph. 337-491-2575 Hammond ph. 985-543-4777 Opelousas ph. 337-948-0255 Baton Rouge ph. 225-765-2346
Deer hunters have seven days to validate each tag used for a deer harvested this season. Hunters also have the option to validate their deer tags seven days a week, any time of the day, on-line via www.la.wildlifelicense.com.
LDWF is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffbor follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
