Black-bellied whistling ducks are booming in Louisiana, and hunters are getting a brand-new special season this October.

From marshes and grain elevators to city parks and wood duck boxes, these tree-dwelling “squealers” are expanding across the Gulf Coast and creating exciting new hunting opportunities for Louisiana waterfowlers.

The South Louisiana Chapter is proud to announce our 2026 Delta Waterfowl Banquet on October 8, 2026, at the Barry P. Bonvillain Civic Center in Houma.

In just over two years, the South Louisiana Chapter has grown into the #1 Delta Waterfowl chapter in Louisiana, and we're proud of what we've accomplished together. Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, volunteers, and community, we've done far more than host successful banquets. We've expanded our Wood Duck Box Initiative across multiple parishes, partnered with local governments, schools, and wildlife agencies, supported youth shooting sports through 4-H and YHEC programs, participated in community conservation events, helped create university hunting opportunities, and introduced countless young people and families to the outdoors. Every event, partnership, and project is driven by one goal: ensuring the future of waterfowl conservation and preserving our hunting heritage for generations to come.

Join us for an evening of great food, fellowship, live and silent auctions, premium fi****ms, hunting gear, and conservation-focused fundraising. Whether you're a longtime supporter or attending for the first time, this is an event you won't want to miss.

Tables, sponsorships, and tickets are available now. Secure your spot early and help us continue preserving our hunting heritage while putting more ducks over decoys.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Coco Marina, and to everyone who continues to support our mission. We look forward to another record-breaking year and another opportunity to make a difference across South Louisiana.

Delta Waterfowl – South Louisiana Chapter is proud to partner with the Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in support of the “I Got Caught Wearing My Life Jacket” program.

This incredible initiative rewards kids and teens who are found wearing their life jackets while boating, creating positive interactions and promoting a simple message that saves lives.

At Delta Waterfowl SOLA, our mission goes beyond ducks. We are committed to supporting conservation, outdoor education, youth engagement, and programs that make a lasting impact across Louisiana.

Through this partnership, we are helping: Promote boating safety for Louisiana's youth. Encourage the next generation of outdoorsmen and women. Support the dedicated Wildlife Agents and Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries personnel who work every day to protect our natural resources and communities. Invest in the future of conservation across our state

We are honored to stand alongside the Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries in a program that protects lives while building a stronger outdoor heritage for future generations.

Together, we're making a difference—one life jacket, one child, and one outdoor experience at a time.

Chris Williams, This one’s for you! 😉
