I can go sit in a stand with a 30-06 anytime I want during daylight hours and hunt hogs?

You don't have to be in a stand. You can sit flat on the ground!

Yes

I think you must have a big game license to do this. I always have a big game license so I have never made for sure this was a law but I think it is.

Can't you hunt them at night as well? Or is that only once deer season ends?

if on private property, yes.

On public land, must do it within a hunting season, with weapons useable for that season. So, once bowseaon opens, you can bowhunt them from Oct. 1-Jan. 31 or Feb. 15 in some areas. During squirrel/Rabbit seasons, you an use a .22 the whole time to kill hogs.

August 15, 2011-The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) wants to remind citizens that a valid Louisiana hunting license is still required to take outlaw quadrupeds including feral hogs with the new laws that went into effect today, Aug. 15.

Legislation passed during the 2011 Legislative Session, provides additional options for citizens to take outlaw quadrupeds (armadillos, coyotes, feral hogs) and nuisance animals (nutria and beaver).

House Bill 294, signed into law by Governor Bobby Jindal as Act 95, makes it legal beginning today, to take outlaw quadrupeds, nutria and beaver at night from March through August on private property with any legal firearm. Anyone taking part in these activities at night is required to notify the parish sheriff’s office 24 hours in advance of any such hunt.

Additionally, House Bill 169, signed into law by Governor Jindal as Act 29, allows the take of nuisance quadrupeds at night using sound suppressors on the firearm(s) utilized, beginning today. Anyone using such a weapon must have in possession a valid permit issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The use of sound suppressed weapons is restricted to the take of outlaw quadrupeds, including coyotes and feral hogs, from March through August on private property.

Taken from LDWF website...I am ready for March 1
