Tensas NFR

The name of the game is to try to get away from all the other hunters ( not easy ) It can get very sloppy or very dusty. If you don’t live close try to get a cabin at the camp ground. I have seen some very nice deer come out of there in the last 2 years. Study the map. Good luck.

The refuge is huge. There will be lots of hunters. Go in early, get deep and plan to sit all day. If you get up and walk around, you will undoubtedly run across other hunters.

There are times at first light where I looked around where my climber was and saw three or four other orange vests.

There are big deer out there, but they are smart and will likely bed down on you all day.

I'd haul in a deer cart in case you need to haul one out.

Finally, tons of hunters from the bayou that have no idea how to act at campgrounds and in the woods.

Damn haha. 3-4’ off the ground… that is effort son.

One is an error of omission, the other is completely something else.

I know those federal wardens love to pose as hunters in the field. Better have all your licenses, permits, hunter orange, etc. Hunt legally or you'll be seeing a federal judge in Monroe.
