About this unit
Sign in to contributeA small central Louisiana parish drained by the Ouachita River and Little River, featuring classic bottomland hardwood habitat along fertile river corridors backed by upland pine ridges. White-tailed deer densities are solid in the flooded bottoms and agricultural edges, and the parish holds reliable wild turkey numbers in the upland-bottom transition zones. Hunting here carries a traditional, unhurried character with little development pressure.
Ouachita River and Little River flood plains with mature bottomland hardwoods, oxbow sloughs, and agricultural fields along the bottoms. Upland pine-hardwood ridges rise to the north and east.
Little River WMA provides meaningful public hunting in the river bottoms. Private land is the norm in upland areas with family and timber lease culture dominant.
Low. Small population, minimal development, and rural character keep pressure light across both public and private lands.
OTC statewide license system. WMA quota hunts require advance application through LDWF. No mandatory check station.
Wild turkey populations benefit from the mix of bottomland mast, agricultural fields for strutting, and upland timber roosting. Some wood duck hunting in flooded bottoms.
Little River WMA offers accessible public bottomland deer hunting representative of classic north-central Louisiana. The agricultural-bottomland edge is prime pre-rut deer movement territory.
