I just noticed my license says restricted on it. As far as I know that means you don't have a hunter safety card even though I do?? Should I ask to get a new license or just keep my hunter safety card with me?
Thanks,
Rod

Ur hunter safety number should be on top of license under ur name.

I was just reading through the ladwf website, and it said that sometimes the safety card number doesn't get associated with the license and that I can either carry the card or call and they'll send me a new one.

Mine didnt I took the class 15 years ago and they didnt do it right so i have to have the shitty paper card with me that gets ruined every year and every so often I get a ticket because I dont have it on me even though the gw can pull it up. I even showed proof to one with my iphone and he still wrote the ticket I had to order a replacement and show it to the court people its a pain in tha arse.

all it means (the restriction) is that i cant hunt by myself right?

no you have to be with someone over the cut off age which was in the 70s for texas but I don't know what state your refering to or the rules. If you have the card keep it in your wallet

La

Lifetime hunting license fixes that.

Just keep your hunter ed card with you this season. next season bring it in when you buy the license and tell them to put it in the system. problem solved....

I wrongly thought that once you were over 17 you didn't have to have hunter ed anymore. I was set straight by the warden about 5 years ago with a big fat ticket. (Took the class emailed a copy of the cert to the court and it didn't cost me a dime to the court nor did I have to show up in person.)

Here you go.


Who Is Required To Take The Hunter Education Course?
Act 149 of the 1984 Louisiana Legislature enacted a mandatory education requirement for anyone born on or after September 1, 1969. All hunters born on or after this date must successfully complete the course in order to hunt in the State of Louisiana. Some exemptions apply, see below.

EXCEPT a person who has not completed a hunter education course may be issued a license with the restriction that they are accompanied by, and under the direct supervision of a person who was born before Sept. 1, 1969, and has a valid hunting license or who is 18 years of age or older and has proof of successful completion of a hunter education course approved by the LDWF.
EXCEPT a person younger that 16 years of age may hunt without such certificate if they are accompanied by, and under the direct supervision, of a person who was born before Sept. 1, 1969, and has a valid hunting license or who is 18 years of age or older and has proof of successful completion of a hunter education course approved by the LDWF.
"Direct Supervision" means that a person being supervised shall be within normal audible voice proximity and in direct line of sight of the supervising adult at all times while hunting.
EXCEPT this requirement shall not apply to any active or veteran member of the United States armed services or any current POST-certified law enforcement officer who may be issued a hunter education exemption. Application for this exemption may be filed at the LDWF office in Baton Rouge (225-765-2932) or any regional field office.

You can but a lifetime for a child and they will send you a certificate. Upon completion of approved hunter education course a card will be issued.

I see.........
