NHFD is a national event celebrated by all 50 states on the
fourth Saturday in September. It was created in 1972 when
Congress passed two bills establishing a specific day to
celebrate the conservation contributions of our nation's hunters
and anglers.
Louisiana celebrates NHFD with festivities at various venues.
All are free of charge. The number and types of exhibits vary at
each location but can include exhibits on LDWF management
programs, shooting and fishing demonstrations, exhibits from
local chapters of Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club and CCA, and
supporting businesses from the local communities. Attendees have
the chance to try their skills at the shooting ranges, fishing
ponds and boating activities, as well as learn about wildlife
through interaction with live animals.
The BR, Bodcau and Woodworth events also feature fly casting and
fly tying, thanks to the local clubs in those areas.
