The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has not eliminate all lifetime licenses. Rather, it consolidates lifetime licenses into three types:

1. Resident (including youth 17 and under) – $500
2. Resident Lifetime Senior (65 and older) – $100
3. Non-Resident Lifetime – $4,000

The new lifetime licenses will streamline and consolidate the old lifetime license structure and will include recreational hunting, fishing, and gear privileges. 

These new licenses will go on sale June 1, 2022. 

The current individual lifetime licenses (e.g. Resident Lifetime Fishing Only [$300] and Resident Lifetime Hunting Only [$300]) will no longer be offered after May 31, 2022.

All current lifetime license holders will keep their existing privileges and they will not be converted into one of the new licenses.
