Sign in to contribute

Madison Parish is one of Louisiana's premier trophy deer destinations, a remote stretch of Mississippi Delta bottomland hardwoods where big-bodied whitetails grow in the shadow of vast oaks and cypress sloughs. The Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge anchors public hunting opportunity in some of the most productive bottomland in the South. Waterfowl hunting in the oxbow sloughs and flooded agricultural fields rounds out a world-class hunting package.

Terrain & elevation

Classic Mississippi Delta bottomland hardwoods — vast oak flats, cypress sloughs, bayou corridors, and seasonally flooded agricultural fields on the alluvial plain of the Mississippi River.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate — remoteness and difficult swamp access filter out casual hunters; the NWR draws dedicated bottomland deer and duck hunters.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter licenses; NWR regulations govern public land units with specific season structures and vehicle restrictions.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting in flooded ag fields and sloughs is outstanding during migration; spring turkey hunting in the bottomland timber draws additional visitors.

Highlights

Tensas River NWR public hunting for trophy Delta whitetails; one of the last great intact bottomland hardwood hunting landscapes in North America.
