AGFC waives license fees for hurricane evacuees
LITTLE ROCK - The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has waived state recreational hunting and fishing license requirements for Hurricane Katrina evacuees temporarily living in Arkansas.

With thousands of evacuees calling Arkansas their temporary home, the AGFC waived the license requirements so hurricane victims may enjoy all The Natural State has to offer.

AGFC Director Scott Henderson said, “Although hunting and fishing may be the last thing on evacuees’ minds, we want them to have every opportunity to take a break from their worries in Arkansas’ great outdoors while they are here.”

Anyone with identification that proves residency in one of the following counties or parishes may hunt and fish free in Arkansas through Dec. 31, 2005:

Alabama counties - Baldwin, Mobile, Pickens, Greene, Hale, Tuscaloosa and Washington.

Mississippi counties - Amite, Forrest, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Lamar, Marion, Pearl River, Perry, Pike, Stone, Walthall and Wilkinson.

Louisiana parishes - Acadia, Ascension, Assumption, Calcasieu, Cameron, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, Livingston, Orleans, Pointe Coupee, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John, St. Mary, St. Martin, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Vermilion, Washington, West Baton Rouge and West Feliciana.

All state wildlife regulations will apply to these temporary Arkansas residents. Arkansas hunting and fishing regulations are outlined in AGFC hunting and fishing guidebooks available at license vendors across the state and online at www.agfc.com.

Hunters who pursue waterfowl are required to have a Federal Waterfowl Stamp, and hunters who pursue any migratory game bird must register with the Harvest Information Program.

Hunters who take big game under this privilege will be required to tag their game and check it as outlined in the Arkansas Hunting Guidebook, 2005-06. They may make their tags or use tags provided in the guidebook.
