BATON ROUGE — Louisiana’s National Hunting and Fishing Day is going to be held in multiple locations across the state Saturday, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced. 

The event, sponsored by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation, will give sportsmen and women the chance to "try their skills at the shooting ranges, fishing ponds, and boating activities, and learn about wildlife with live animal demonstrations." Local businesses and conservation organizations will be at each location.
