So as my subject suggests, I'm interested in finding land to lease with a few buddies for hunting in NWLA. For most of my life I've relied on friends who own land to go hunting. I'm getting to the age now, though, where I'm tired of relying on someone else and having to get the "ok" every time I want to hunt. I also want the freedom to be able to set up the hunting how I want and be able shoot/not shoot what I want.

I realize I'm probably too late for this season, so now I want to get a jump on finding a place for next season. I live in and go to med school in Shreveport, so somewhere within ~1hr of town would be preferred.

Any suggestions on how to best approach this? I've already emailed a few local land management agents and am waiting for responses. Figured I'd seek guidance from the always wise OB in the meantime.

Local timber companies and Timberland Investment groups would be the best place to start

Molpus and Weyerhaeuser to start with

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but it's possible that I could find a small tract or two in Bossier or DeSoto Parish.

Thanks fellas. I was thinking about emailing a few timber companies, but now it looks like I definitely will.

Weyerhauser has a tab on their website for submitting your info/insurance and placing bids on open tracts.

What size tracts you talking?

Honestly not too particular about the land. Just want enough room to have a nice setup and have the opportunity to see/kill deer.

Finding GOOD land to lease in NWLA is tough. Do you know anyone in the area that are already in a lease? That is the best way to get in on a lease.

Our properties in that area are in Noerh Bossier Parish, in the Benton, Rocky Mt., Ivan area and we have a few scatterd tracts in Northern DeSoto Parish, around Frierson.

I've been trying to get OP on the one in Rocky Mount for years. He's just not man enough.

Those North Bossier tracts have piqued my interest . I grew up in Bossier and my parents still live there so being around there would be nice.

The properties that come available tend to be small tracts. Less than 100 acres usually. Not much turnover in Bossier, and the bigger properties usually don't open up.
