How’s the deer hunting in that part of the state? I think that’s why north La is called that. One could easily argue that the entire state is a sportsman’s paradise though.

I agree that deer hunting is probably a lot better. And freshwater fishing is what you have in North LA. So the trade off is better or more diverse fishing in South LA vs better or more diverse hunting in North LA. I actually spent time in Ruston and later in Texarkana (Arkansas side). I fished a lot of north LA from both cities. And, I had a great time bass fishing. I wasn't much of a hunter outside of squirrel, rabbit and coon. You can do most of that anywhere. I do know in some of the coastal areas of Louisiana there is pretty decent deer hunting like Pecan Island, Pass-A-Loutre WMA, Salvador WMA, Pearl River WMA, and others. Not as plentiful and maybe smaller overall since they aren't getting fat on acorns or soybean, there are plenty of grasses to eat and lots of areas that are hard to access. So, not as much pressure on the populations. I guess my goal of my post was to remind people that South Louisiana is loaded with opportunities for hunting, trapping and fishing.
