When I saw something on X posted about it I thought it had to be a spoof because of the name.

I don't know, but I've heard the water's kind of muddy.

Yep. I’m taking Paul Allen’s mom duck hunting on the opening day of the first split.

quote:

The name "Coochie" is believed to be a corruption of the Choctaw word Withlacoochee, meaning "Water of the Little Great River," while a "brake" historically refers to a dense, woody wetland or thicket.

Historically, the area was incredibly difficult to navigate and was considered an impenetrable "no man's land". This ruggedness made it a prime staging ground for outlaws, moonshiners, and historical legends.

The Spanish Fort: Local history dates back to the late 18th century, when a man named Fiol reportedly established a fortified residence near the brake that served as a hangout for outlaws operating along the Natchez Trace. This birthed decades of folklore regarding buried Spanish gold and lost nightrider treasures.

The Giant Tupelo: In 1913, explorers allegedly discovered the world's largest tupelo gum tree hidden deep within the swamp.

Magnetic Anomalies: Local lore frequently mentions that navigation compasses spin wildly and fail to work properly within the boundaries of the brake.


You gonna get lost!!

I don’t think they are going to allow duck hunting. Now hunting and small game is what I just read

That's home so absolutely. Going next weekend to look for wood duck holes. Be careful when it's wet, it's easy to get turned around in there, and there aren't many "roads."

I wonder how long it'll take for fat or old guys to start whining about having trouble accessing it.

Absolutely. I hunt coochie all year. It can get a little wet and hairy out there sometimes but the risk is worth the reward

We have 80 acres at the end of Minnie Robbins rd. Which is right up from the brake. Where you at?
