Retail license vendors will no longer be able to provide the HIP certification service beginning June 1, necessitating the change. Therefore, hunters that purchase licenses from retail license vendors will be reminded to go on-line to complete HIP certification for hunting migratory birds. Hunters who purchase LDWF licenses online will see no change.
The change is to make sure that the most complete information is available to state and federal biologists as they manage the migratory bird resource.

Beginning June 1, Louisiana migratory bird hunters, including waterfowl hunters, will be required to complete the Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification process either online or in person at Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) headquarters in Baton Rouge.
