I swear some of you would argue if I said northwest NM beat LA for trophy elk, but only by a slim margin...

I'm going to have to go with southern parishes. The fishing in nothern Louisiana isn't even in the same category as south Louisiana. And you can kill just about anything but turkeys.
I was born in Venice and fished/hunted my whole life down there. Just some of the species I have hunted/fished:
Hunted
Whitetail deer 175-220lb deer and I have seen some 120-130's killed down there and even a low 140. Deer in the marsh are only small when they are young.
Hogs- they are everywhere. Killed 5 in one day in the stand.
Gators- Some of the best habitat for gators. There is no where near the gators in north louisiana compared to south Louisiana.
Geese- Have killed over 50 geese in a blind several times.
Ducks- Some regular species down there, pintails, canvasbacks, gray ducks, widgeon, teal, summer mallards, greenhead mallards, etc. Basically "everything" except wooducks and we have even killed that down there but seldom.
Nutria,otters,beavers,some of the best rabit hunting in the state,etc.
Fishing
There is not many places that compare to fishing like the Venice area. The diversity is crazy there and it was the #1 commercial finfishing area in the country before all the regulations in commercial fishing.
There is no way you northern boys can compete with the above when it comes to diversity. And I have hunted in the north several times. Prefer it for deer hunting because deer can get bigger antlers but I never leave Venice without any meat to take home.

Terrebonne!!! *singing* Anything you can do we can do better (maybe not better but damnit we can do it too)
And as far as the midwest argument I lived in wyoming for 3 years and the hunting is phenomenal nothing like trekin the mountian with fresh snow holding tags for elk mullies and antelope (if your extremely lucky moose) but the fishing is turrible
