Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent on a snipe/rail schedule row). Season dates sourced via WebSearch synthesis to LDWF's 2026-2027 Hunting & WMA Regulations (updated July 7, 2026, wlf.louisiana.gov, direct WebFetch blocked this session): Oct. 31, 2026-Jan. 10, 2027 and Jan. 25-Feb. 28, 2027, statewide -- moderate confidence, matched to a finalized document reference. The daily bag 8 / possession 24 figure was only sourced from a 2025-26-season citation, not independently reconfirmed for 2026-27 -- lower confidence on the exact bag numbers than on the dates, though the figure is structurally stable with the national snipe framework and unlikely to change.
