Joyce WMA

I recently moved to Ponchatoula and live close Joyce WMA. Has anyone hunted there before? I couldn’t find much info on it and wondering if I should try it out or do a different WMA. Is it a place I can hunt on the ground or need to be up in a tree and is it all swamp you wade through?

All swamp but there are big deer in it. Chest waders and a marsh seat is what you need.

Do you usually hunt it on the ground or up in a tree?

I’ve hunted from the ground only. Google Ricky Hano Joyce WMA, this guy did an article in LA Sportsman years ago on how to tackle the Joyce swamp.

I attempted a couple duck hunts in Joyce. You’ll need to scout and get reach to work. It’s not an easy place to hunt. It’s thick swamp. Get ready.

Learn how to slip around in a pirogue and there’s some absolute monsters hiding in there.

We took a gator tail in and brought climbers. Worked our arse off. Heard a buncha splashin and what not but never saw a deer. Duck hunted for woodies but never got a shot.
