Hey guys, I'm a relatively new duck hunter and my buddy who I usually go hunting with took his boat in to get it worked on. I have family coming in for Thanksgiving from out of state and was hoping to take a couple of them duck hunting this weekend.

What is the closest place to Baton Rouge(I'm willing to drive a little bit)/ best place to go duck hunting that doesn't require a boat? Like a pond or something that we could drive and then walk to and that's not terribly deep?

Like I said, I'm kinda new to this so my apologies if this is a stupid question. TIA

Hunt Sherburne. Few people, lots of ducks.

I have seen tons of ducks here in the past few weeks

This recent front even had about 3-4 dozen mallards in there yesterday..

I don't want to say you are shite out of luck, but no boat, no previous scouting, and near Baton Rouge. You might just be shite out of luck. Sherburne has acreage but I don't know what kind of luck you will have...

You have a 4 wheeler? Catahoula isn't too close to BR, but you can hunt via ATV.

most public lands are closed for duck hunting this weekend because they have their either sex weekend for deer. they are from out of state and will have to buy LA Licenses. Take them deer hunting. Most WMAs are either sex this weekend so they can shoot almost anything that walks out. Just becareful of some WMAs that have antler restrictions.
Check the LA dept Wildlife and Fisheries site for your rules and regs.
