Sign in to contribute

St. Landry Parish spans from the Cajun prairie in the south to the Atchafalaya Basin fringe in the east, encompassing rice fields, crawfish ponds, bottomland hardwoods, and upland farm country. Waterfowl hunting in the flooded rice and soybean fields is exceptional and the parish consistently produces outstanding duck numbers during fall migration. Deer hunting along the Atchafalaya Basin edges and Bayou Teche drainages rounds out a well-rounded hunting parish.

Terrain & elevation

Cajun prairie agricultural land with rice fields and crawfish ponds, transitioning east to Atchafalaya Basin bottomland hardwoods and cypress swamp; Bayou Teche corridor runs through the central portion

Hunting pressure

Moderate to high for waterfowl during peak migration -- rice country duck hunting draws hunters from across the Gulf South region

Tags & permits

Louisiana OTC tags; no antler restrictions

Species & seasons

Duck and goose hunting in flooded rice and soybean fields is the standout attraction; wild turkey in bottomland hardwoods along Bayou Teche and Atchafalaya fringe

Highlights

Rice and soybean field waterfowl hunting rivals the best in the Mississippi Flyway; Atchafalaya Basin fringe deer hunting adds a classic Louisiana swamp deer dimension to the parish
