Sign in to contribute

Union Parish anchors the pine upland landscape of far north Louisiana, where rolling longleaf and loblolly pine forests give way to creek-bottom hardwoods along Corney Creek and Bayou d Arbonne. White-tailed deer and wild turkey are the primary targets in a landscape that sees less hunting pressure than the heavily leased parishes to the south. Public access through Corney Creek WMA and Caney Creek WMA provides genuine opportunity for hunters without private land connections.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling longleaf and loblolly pine uplands, creek-bottom bottomland hardwood draws, Corney Lake reservoir, and open agricultural fields along upland edges; more topographic relief than southern parishes with elevations reaching several hundred feet.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate; north Louisiana parishes see less overall hunting pressure than the heavily populated south, and multiple public WMAs distribute access across the landscape.

Tags & permits

OTC tags statewide; north Louisiana deer average larger body size than Florida-parish animals; antler restriction programs are voluntary but increasingly adopted by private hunting clubs.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations are healthy in the pine-hardwood transition zones and the spring gobbler season is productive; fox squirrel and gray squirrel hunting in the bottomland hardwoods is among the best in the state; feral hogs present but less numerous than coastal parishes.

Highlights

Corney Lake area within Corney Creek WMA provides a productive combination of timber-edge deer hunting and accessible public land rare in north Louisiana; the parish turkey population rewards patient spring hunters willing to work the creek bottoms.
