    So, possibly silly question, been years since I hunted....

    Does this mean I would have to notify SO if I was going to night hunt on my own property, or just on someone else's?

    The difference is that you can now hunt them year round. You still have to notify the SO that you are hunting at night and acquire a permit.

    Doesn't mention anything about a 'permit' only notifing the SO

    https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/subhome/outlaw-quadrupeds

    individuals must also have a permit (see below) for nighttime take of these animals from September 1 through the last day of February.

    The new Act signed by Edwards: http://www.legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocument.aspx?d=1181908

    It was amended to say that you should notify the SO 24 hours prior or immediately upon taking the animal and to allow hunting year round.

    to allow nighttime hunting of outlaw quadrupeds, nutria, and beaver on
    4 private property at any time of the year; and to provide for related matters

    So the only thing that changed was the wording? Notify the 24hr hotline vs call 24hrs prior. I've been hunting hogs at nite during deer season for years, with the state issued permit of course.

    No permit required. Must contact SO.
