Weyerhausier sent out email today to all club contacts that dog hunting will be allowed on there land on permit system Including Louisiana. So guys read the email get permit printed & sent in before March 31 is deadline. Thank you to all that never gave up in Louisiana .

Does that mean all clubs in louisiana that is controlled by Weyerhaeuser that intend to run dogs has to apply for the permit before March 31. Even the ones that have never had to stop running dogs? Has gum swamp in Livingston parish ever had to have a permit from land owner before.anybody know?

Best I can tell from email from Weyerhausier it's company wide in all states that all big game hunting with dogs you will have to apply for permit. But we are in diffirent district than south Louisiana. So yalls contact for Weyerhausier is somebody else than ours. But your club presidents or who ever handles all paperwork for your hunting club should have received a email from Weyerhausier yesterday. But yes March 31 is deadline.,takes less than 5 mins to fill out get it in mail.

It's nothing set in stone for anyone. As a club, if you qualify to run dogs, you got a letter. You then list all forms of dog hunting your club is interest in such as deer, hog, coon, etc. You send that in to Weyerhaeuser and they will either allow or deny each type of hunting based on size of club, history if problems with your club, any land sensitivities, tract configuration, and other market factors. This is not a broad sweeping, "everybody is back to running dogs" decision. It's on a lease by lease basis.

This email was sent out to all Weyerhausier lease in states that allow big game hunting with dogs. So far 3 of the biggest acre leases in North Louisiana have Been informed they will not be allowed to hunt with hounds. It doesn't look good for the rest of us. If any clubs get approval let me know. I'm thinking there using this to get rid of it on all there property. I hope I'm wrong
