This bill amends R.S. 56:125(B) regarding the sex identification requirements for deer hunting in Louisiana. The key change is the elimination of the requirement for hunters to maintain evidence of the sex of the deer after the tag has been validated. Previously, hunters were required to keep positive evidence of sex identification, such as the head or sex organs, on the deer until it was stored at their domicile or divided at a cold storage facility.

Under the new provisions, evidence of sex identification will only need to be maintained until the deer tag is validated. This change simplifies the regulations for hunters, allowing them to focus on the tagging process without the additional burden of maintaining sex identification after validation. The bill aims to streamline hunting practices while ensuring compliance with existing wildlife management laws.
