LDWF began offering license auto-renewals for the first time last year. Here's the Lowdown.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries hunting and fishing licenses may only be renewed once your current license has expired. As of June 2022 -- most LDWF licenses are now valid for 365 days from purchase date -- licenses no longer follow the July 1-June 30 year. This change means that license holders can no longer renew their license early, during the month of June.

We Hope You All Had a Good Waterfowl Season - Best of Luck to those now Hunting Turkey
Est. 2016, Wingman Waterfowl is a Local Owned, South Louisiana Based Company.
Our roots started beneath the canopy of a flooded cypress bottom in the Atchafalaya Basin Swamp, our Home. The thought seem to follow the tail winds of the Mallards falling into the clear slough waters. Beneath the water's surface, the freshly flooded cracks in the ground showed signs of Louisiana 's past summer. Although I was having a great time, I found myself complaining about the gear we had. I started thinking of ways I could change some of it to make it work better. All of these ideas began to resonate more as the hunt took place.
What better way to achieve better gear than to build a company and make that gear?
I told the podnahs (friends) my thoughts as I lead into a conversation about building products and gear that had attention to detail and the functional purpose we needed.
That vision was the start of the journey.
Where did the name come from ? A homage to the local cajun-french term "Podnah" meaning your friend or partner. The name pays tribute to the Good Friends and Dogs you share the duck blind with.
After months of using word of mouth to sell hats and shirts from vehicles, Wingman Waterfowl landed its first store location right at home: Kartchner's in Krotz Springs, Louisiana in 2017.
Seven years later, in an effort to further advance our Mission, we have researched and developed many new products with the purpose of bringing our best innovations to market.
The road has not been easy and good things take time. We believe working hard for the things in life that inspire, bring joy and purpose are greatly rewarded....
For Us that's still the Lifetime of Memories made when Hunting with Friends, Family, and our favorite Dogs.
Our Mission
Guided by Flight - A Mission Born in the Duck Woods of the Louisiana Bayous; To Build Innovative Products for the People, Places, and Irreplaceable Moments in Waterfowl.
We began a journey based on the belief that we could build a local company people believed in and could appreciate.
While influenced by the Atchafalaya Basin Swamp, it is our intention to create high-quality gear worthy of our customers' needs both here or wherever you are.
Born and raised here, we have a strong appreciation for Louisiana culture and support our local communities efforts to engage in hunting, education, traditions, conservation, and sportsmanship while learning to love the land and the memories we make while investing and supporting our communities. Furthermore, we hope to inspire others to do the same in their local communities.
I fell in love with waterfowl hunting before I could get a permit to drive. Seems like its all I could think about. It wasn't easily accessible but getting older had its perks when chasing ducks. With a drivers license and a few extra dollars to burn, it's amazing how far out in the swamp a kid can find himself. I have been blessed in making memories and meeting great people ever since.
Over a decade later, Wingman Waterfowl has followed me through my college career as I pursued dentistry. No matter how hard its been to build this company at times, I refused to let it fade. A couple podnahs passing a good time and some good ole dogs picking up ducks in the most incredible landscapes ... I live for that.
Whether you are in the cypress bottoms of swamps, flooded oak timbers, marshes or fields of grain, I hope Wingman Waterfowl can earn a place alongside you on those hunts making memories just like any good wingman would be.
