Sign in to contribute

Iberville Parish sits at the confluence of the Atchafalaya Spillway and the Mississippi River levee system, producing a mosaic of massive bottomland hardwood flats, flooded river batture, and agricultural fields that concentrate both deer and waterfowl. The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway runs through the western portion of the parish, providing extraordinary swamp deer and duck hunting in an ecosystem unlike anything else in North America. Wild turkey are present in the upland corridors, and the parish delivers a well-rounded hunting experience within easy reach of Baton Rouge.

Terrain & elevation

Mississippi River batture and levee system on the east; extensive Atchafalaya Basin floodway swamps and bottomland hardwoods through the center and west; some upland agricultural areas on the eastern fringe; flat to very flat with seasonal flooding critical to the ecosystem.

Hunting pressure

Moderate — the basin areas require boat access which filters casual hunters; agricultural fringe leases are in demand from the Baton Rouge hunter population.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide license with up to 6 deer per season and no more than 3 bucks; basin WMA season dates and legal methods may differ from statewide season — verify with LDWF.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting in the Atchafalaya Basin is world-class during migration; mallards, wood ducks, and gadwall concentrate in flooded timber; turkey inhabit the upland hardwood corridors on the eastern edge of the parish.

Highlights

Atchafalaya Basin floodway swamp deer hunting via boat is one of the most distinctive hunting experiences in Louisiana; flooded timber duck hunting when water conditions align is unforgettable.
