Actually it’s the firearms draw hunt I’ll be on this weekend which reforested areas are still off limits. I had the dates mixed up.

All reforested areas off limits for rifle. Check the regs and they’ll show. Bring a climber.

I used a climber there for the most part. Only had to use a lock on a handful of times.

There are some areas along sloughs that you can see a pretty good ways from the ground but for the most part you can't see far enough to make ground hunting worth it.

Water is low everywhere with barely any water in woods. You can hunting tennis shoes if you want. Hogs and bears have taken over the woods and it really is not worth hunting any of the refuge hunts. Plan a trip to Missouri or Oklahoma and have much more luck.

I went for the first and only time about 10 years ago. Duck hunted, didn’t do very well. But I remember there was this bar that we watched the saints game on, it was in middle of nowhere. Legit may have been a small shack in a cane field. It was awesome. Anyone know if it is still there?

The one at Cooterville has been closed for a while.

Honestly Ill prob never go back. It was absolute fire in late 90's and up until around 2008-09. Folks that frequented the place mostly all new and respected each other. Great deer population and many heavy hitters. Most of the folks only shot good bucks and let doe and yearlings walk
Since about 2010 it has been overwhelmed by the coonass population. Kill everything they can over hunt areas pushed the bigger deer out onto leases. Its a shell of what it once was. Not worth the trip other than good camping trip anymore. Any public hunting grounds that those people start going too often falls off quick. LDWF needs to better manage those areas when that happens but they don't.

Lottery hunts or antler restrictions would help out with this

Unless you drove 1.5 hours south of TNWR, you didn't go to a bar in a cane field. You were probably at one of the HWY 4 bars, or maybe Warsaw. Also could have been Cooterville, but it was bigger than a small shack. Sadly none of the bars are there anymore, except for one barely open one on HWY 4. ..

What do you mean by “those people”

The ground is wet from recent rains, but creeks, sloughs and whatnot are relatively dry around here for this time of year...

Sounds like Kisatchie/red dirt when I was in college. They were like buzzards

I went home with a buddy from Tensas Parish, he didnt do the two finger wave to someone while driving down the road. When we got to his house the person had called his dad to tell him, and his dad was not happy about it.

Just my opinion on the coonass migration north is because there’s just horrible areas to hunt in south Louisiana. Who wants to deal with thigh deep water or boats/pirogue and mosquitos on a daily basis?
It’s the reason I travel to MS every weekend to hunt. Good thing about MS is they put in antler restrictions.

Hwy 4 bar is open

No sir I don't agree. I grew up as a kid when south of i-10 hunting was some of the best in the state. Problem is those people decimated those populations and migrated north to find more gamey areas to destroy, not to find easier hunting. Most don't care, have no or little conservation minded efforts, take advantage of an area that good people try to manage and move on. Seen it from Tensas, Kisatchie, Red dirt, west bay, clear creek, and now they have moved in on Beouf so hard its impossible to find a place with a decent doe population. Against my better conservative judgment and less government approach to life....I do pray for more restrictions on young bucks, bag limit should be 3 statewide with 1 buck 13" spread 3 on one side. Some areas a draw for a second buck tag.
