Certification: I hereby certify that I am a Louisiana landowner, farmer, rancher or livestock producer, and that I have read and am familiar with the federal requirements regarding the taking of black vultures as described in the authorizations and conditions section of the website, and agree to abide by the authorizations and conditions concerning the methods of take, use of effigies, and disposal of takes. I understand that the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) will not represent me for any alleged violation of this permit, and I absolve LDAF of any legal liability. I acknowledge this sub-permit authorizes the taking of up to 5 black vultures, subject to the statewide permit limit, and does not authorize the taking of any other protected migratory bird species. I understand that I must report any take to LDAF within 48 hours of the take by emailing name, permit number and contact information BlackVultureProgram@ldaf.state.la.us.

This permit is good for this calendar year with an expiration date of December 31st.
You must re-register each calendar year.
You must follow all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authorizations and conditions associated with this sub-permit. The authorizations and conditions are listed on the LDAF website.
You must record any takes within 48 hours of that take by emailing name, permit number and contact information BlackVultureProgram@ldaf.state.la.us.
The statewide total number of black vulture takes in Louisiana may not exceed 1000 vultures. If 1000 vultures are taken in the state, you will receive an email notifying you that no more vultures may be taken during the permit period.
Once your allotted takes are reported, you are not allowed to take any more Black Vultures under the sub-permit for that calendar year.
If do not take any black vultures, you must email BlackVultureProgram@ldaf.state.la.us to report “no birds taken” no later than December 31st.
I certify that the information submitted in the application for a sub-permit is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that any false statement herein may subject me to the criminal penalties of 18 U.S.C 1001 by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services.
