Anyone ever duck hunt the swampy marsh around Madisonville/Mandeville area?

Where?

I guess its really only around Madisonville. But yeah its pretty much the area around Guste Island Road back to the river. Not really sure where exactly the property would be, but I know its in that area. My father in law said that its supposed to be duck and deer property. Didn't know if ducks hung around the edges of the lake much.

I know one of the cops in Madisonville. He told me last season he and another officer sat on the bridge on Lake Road and watched a few guys in an airboat spotlight and kill 6 deer. They pulled the airboat up to the landing by the road giving zero fricks with 6 tongues flopping in the breeze from the boat's fan.

Those fellas may have removed the entire herd that evening.

Ya man I've really only heard shotguns going off back there, but every year I've known of it, they are typically slaughtering the ducks, especially teal.

But entrance to the lease is past all of the different guste island subdivisions, they have like 5 or 6. But its well before you get to Port Louis.

I belong to the rice fields lease near Guste Island. It's hit or miss, first flight kind of hunt, though some of the old timers who sit back there all day have success calling in big ducks late in the morning. Ton of pouldeau. Very convenient hunt.

All neighborhoods and strip malls like the rest of this fricking place.
