The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) would like to remind the public that alligator hunting season remains open statewide. The state’s East Zone will close October 26, 2024, and the West Zone November 2, 2024.
Louisiana residents may hunt alligators on private lands/lakes they either own or have permission to hunt or public lands/lakes with access granted via bidding or lottery. They must have a valid alligator hunting license and alligator harvest tags.
Louisiana residents who do not have access to either private or public lands/lakes may harvest alligators for sport as a licensed alligator sport hunter while accompanied by a guide – a licensed alligator hunter, or his or her helper, who possesses alligator harvest tags. Sport hunters must always be accompanied by a licensed hunter or helper.
