Lifetime Hunting License Question

[ripinlips]

Can you hunt with a copy of the application that you sent in like with boat registration? I believe this is false but did not want to make a trip to Baton Rouge if I did not have to...just realized it took 3 weeks to come in. I will be calling their office next Tuesday to confirm but am curious if anybody actually knows the answer.

I checked to LDWF web site.... but don't see where they say you can hunt with a "copy" of the application.

Phone no. is 225 765-2887


I lost my LT license a few years ago....... cost $ 20 to get a replacement. I see now it only cost $ 7.50.

I would say YES if you keep the receipt with application proving that its already paid for. All they would have to do is run your license to see if it was purchased. As long as you have proof of purchase...

Check should clear in a few days. I'd have a pic of that. Mine only took a week to come in. Got it last month.

Yeah, I will definitely call them Tuesday. If it is ok I plan on caring all related documents I sent to them. I sent a Money Order instead of check. I read somewhere on their website that sending a money order would expedite the process. Thank you all for the responses. We will see...if not I guess I will "donate" another $20-30 to the state department
