About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedBossier Parish flanks the Red River north of Shreveport, where Red River bottomland hardwoods, agricultural fields, and the upper Cypress Bayou watershed create productive deer and waterfowl habitat in northwestern Louisiana. The Red River National Wildlife Refuge provides public hunting access on significant bottomland acreage along the river corridor, making Bossier Parish one of the more accessible hunting destinations for public land hunters in the northwest part of the state. Cypress Lake and the associated marsh habitat provide outstanding waterfowl hunting.
Red River alluvial bottomland with mature bottomland hardwood forest, agricultural fields on river terraces, oxbow lakes, Cypress Bayou watershed marshes, and upland mixed forest transitioning north from the river corridor toward the Arkansas border.
Moderate on NWR public land. Private club land along productive bottomland is lightly pressured. The Red River bottomland distributes hunter pressure across a large public hunting area.
Louisiana Hunting License with deer tags required. Federal NWR permit required for Red River NWR hunting. Verify LDWF current regulations for Bossier Parish.
Waterfowl hunting on Red River oxbow lakes and agricultural fields is outstanding during migration. Wild turkey have established well in the bottomland hardwood forest and provide spring season opportunity. Deer hunting in the red oak mast areas of the bottomland can be exceptional in good mast years.
Red River NWR bottomland provides accessible public deer and waterfowl hunting in northwestern Louisiana; bottomland hardwood deer hunting with agricultural field food sources creates consistent harvest opportunities for both public and private land hunters.
