Season dates per LDWF's 2026-2027 Hunting & WMA Regulations (updated July 7, 2026): Oct.31, 2026-Jan. 10, 2027 and Jan. 25-Feb. 28, 2027, statewide. The daily bag 8 / possession 24 figure is carried over from a 2025-26-season citation and hasn't been reconfirmed for 2026-27 -- though it's structurally stable with the national snipe framework and unlikely to change, so treat the dates as more certain than the exact bag numbers.
