Also yesterday, the Senate unanimously approved House Bill 169 and House Bill 294, sending them to Governor Bobby Jindal’s desk for his consideration.
HB 169, introduced by state Representative Cameron Henry (R-82), would allow Louisianans to use firearms fitted with lawfully-possessed sound suppressors while hunting nongame nuisance quadrupeds including feral hogs, coyotes, armadillos, nutria and beaver. Sound suppressors reduce noise complaints, recoil, and hearing loss while increasing accuracy.
HB 294, introduced by state Representative Major Thibaut (D-18), would remove the requirement to acquire a special permit to trap feral hogs and remove the limitation on the types of firearms used for hunting nongame nuisance quadrupeds including feral hogs, coyotes, armadillos, nutria, and beaver.
Please contact Governor Jindal today and respectfully ask him to sign into law both HB 169 and HB 294.
Governor Bobby Jindal
