With the aim of ensuring safety and abiding by the burn ban imposed across the state, the LDWF has communicated that the burning of dove fields is strictly prohibited. This advisory holds significance for all hunting enthusiasts and landowners, as the ban persists in the interest of preventing and minimizing fire risks.

Louisiana’s natural landscapes are currently facing heightened vulnerability due to dry conditions and elevated fire hazards. Against this backdrop, the LDWF’s directive aims to avert any potential wildfire incidents that could wreak havoc on the environment, wildlife, and communities.

Hunters, farmers, and land managers are encouraged to cooperate wholeheartedly with this directive and to explore alternative land management strategies during this period of burn ban enforcement. By adhering to these guidelines, individuals can contribute significantly to the preservation of Louisiana’s natural beauty and ecological balance.
