re: Maurapas wma

St James Boat Club on Hwy 61 between Sorrento and Gramercy. Canal Bank boat launch at hwy 22 and diversion canal. No matter where you access the WMA, don't forget to fill out a self clearing permit at one of the check stations. There are check stations at both boat launches and another at the corner of Petit Amite and New River. There are others, but that's the area I hunt so that's what I use... I wear hip boots, but have hunted there for 25 years. If you never tromped the swamp then waders might be better. You can bring a bunch of toys with you, but always bring water and a compass.
