Pintail Alley: Ouachita WMA

Any ob'ers hunt here? I know y'all aren't gonna give me any honey hole info, but I'm just wondering if it's any better than the russel sage flooded timber. I've never been but I'm thinking about trying it out while I'm in Monroe this semester.

I used to hunt it some when I was in college. I always killed more in the flooded timber of Sage though.

It's on and off. A few years ago it was one of the best places in Monroe, the last 2 years they don't even flood it, except for the last couple of weeks I the season last year and it was beyond crowded! Any WMA in Ouachita parish is crowded though.

My old stompin grounds. The whole place was once a working rice farm until the state took ownership. In fact I think the first couple of years the state had it they let a farmer work the ground. Since then the state has done what it seems to always do. They have taken a great asset and let it dewindle to a coyote breeding ground. Here is where I can help you. This will work on the old Metz farm as well. Go out there and scout around. You need to be looking at how the canals were once used to flood the fields. The "fields" are what is now thickets with young hardwoods planted in them. Once you figure out what the high side is(the side with canals bordering them) go to the opposite side and figure out how it drains. The place naturally holds water except the ditches and culverts have been put in to maintain drainage. Get it scoped out real good and pay attention to what size pipe is used for drainage culverts. Take a tape measure if needed so you know for sure what size pipes you will be dealing with. Once you are comfortable with the layout and where the drainage pipes are cut some plywood to the appropriate sizes. 8" pipe=12" square piece of plywood. 10"pipe=15-16" square plywood. Under the cover of darkness just before a BIG forecasted rain take the plywood and put in front of the pipes. Have a shovel to pack some mud/dirt to hold boards in place until water pressure gets against them. Once the water backs against the boards the pressure makes them a bitch to remove. A state employee doesn't want to work that hard in the wet, cold, nasty mud. The water will back up and show what we called "slash" water. You can kill the hell out of the ducks in slash water due to new seeds/food becoming flooded with every rain. I realize this is the internet but I would not tell you this if I still hunted these areas.

I have plenty of tricks Ole Geauxt.
Kind of wish I was 16-18 years old again. Something has happened up there that I am sure I could take advantage of with great benefits.
The big rice farm on the Southern border of Ouachita now belongs to the gubment. They planted trees and walked away. I would make it my private hunting club if I were young again.

I am in the 4 for 1.00 group too. But not as old as OG.
I have hunted both Ouachita and Sage and I always did better in Sage. Though we did get into a bunch of teal one time on Ouachita.
