The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced today that deer and rabbit hunting seasons are closed in Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes until further notice.
LDWF Secretary Dwight Landreneau closed the seasons because of extensive damage to the two parishes caused by Hurricane Katrina. In an official declaration of emergency published Sept. 16, Landreneau stated, "The season closure will remain in effect until more detailed surveys of the impact to these two species and their habitats can be conducted and a review of the finding is evaluated."
